My Graduation Gift From My Folks

[MAGICoronado]

Needing Help

So my father and mother told me last night that I can get ANY irons I want, shafts and etc. Right now I'm gaming the MP-67's and loving the feedback back wanting something a little more forgiving 4-6 iron but hell bent on getting straight blades for 7-PW.

At the moment I'm thinking of doing Titleist AP2 4-6 iron with KBS Tour Black Nickel shafts and Titleist MB 7-PW KBS Tour black nickel shafts also.

Also at the moment I'm a 8.3 Handicap, been playing since December of 2008. Any ideas or inputs would be nice seeing as how I dont really know how these clubs compare to what I'm playing.

Your idea sounds good to me! Or you could go the mizuno route and get a combo set of 68s and 58s with kbs tours

[ctw262]

710 cb's in 4-6/7 and mb's in 7/8-pw. This is the set I am going to take a very hard look at this summer.

Miura combos...or the black Vega irons, those are awesome

jeez i wish my parents were like that
i got zip for highschool and will be lucky to get anything when i finish my honors degree
ANY irons, id say go with miura's or adams pro blacks, im a lefty so id kill for the pro blacks and a laguna putter
i personally didnt like the new 710's but love the ZM/ZB sets

[slanger]

go ap2 and cbs with kbs's

[Shaank0]

Well in that case I would take my time and try every combination out there.

being a Nike fan boy I will throw in that the VR line is fantastic. I got the splits and a set of blades. Love them both not much difference between them to be honest.

Scratch Custom. They'll work the profiles. The one problem I have with combo sets is the transition seems unnatural.

+1000000000000000 on that as well. i have the titleist cb/mb combo with kbs shafts myself but if i had the choice myself when i got these i would have gone with the scratch ones. they were out of my budget but not out of yours. go with scratch all the way

[mkotthoff]

Go CB 4-6 and MB-7-PW with KBS shafts. That would be a solid TItleist set.

[MAGICoronado]

Thanks for the insight, I was thinking about Scratch but I honestly dont know anyone who has a set and I dont like how the splits look. So I wont be able to do any real testing.

I have the AP2 710's and a friend of mine is buying a AP2 710 set too. I have the DG S300 and he is ordering them with Project X 5.0. The AP2 is a good iron, good feel and very forgiving. I am a 9.1 HDCP and I would definitely not buy the AP2's if I had the possibility to choose again. I would have gone with the MB 710. They aren't that hard to hit at all and they are super accurate. The feel when you pure a 3iron is fantastic. You can't compare the MB's with the AP2's. A mix between those would be nice but my advice. BUY a full MB set. You will get used to them and post VERY low scores.

Keep it simple. The MP-67's are nice but not the easiest to hit blades out there - whereas the MP-68's are also nice and are a doddle to hit. Coming from the MP-67's, the MP-68's will feel like you're hitting CB's - the set will look nice and clean being all blades and you won't have to worry about the transition of a combo set. Trust me, if you're serious about golf and getting your handicap down, then a full set of blades is the way to go. Custom fitted of course.

[williamo]

Jaskanski has it...

i have the ap2 710 irons with px 6.5 which i love. but if you want a better combo go 3 iron ap2, 4-7 titleist cb, 8-9 titleist mb and vokey 48 degree pitching wedge a friend of mine has it like this and hes lealy happy i gave hot to him and the transition from 7 to 8 feel is preety similar the look at adress is the same and the short irons as a blade is better for some but i prefer the ap2 but thats just me. He also has kbs x stiff which play harder than my shafts but im considering switching prom the px to kbs because they feel much better but i am used to my px so its just the comfort level and feel but u must try them out before buying cause i have made that mistake before and it wasnt good and get fitted if you can it makes a lot of difference.

[Jonesy]

Go with the full set of mp68's they are that easy of a blade to hit. If u want a mizuno combo I would use mp62's in the long irons as they have the same feel as the mp68's the mp58's feel nice but different to the 68's...
