Best Blade Irons Ever

[penleyeta]

[quote name='leftypga' timestamp='1273360254' post='2429326']
I'm not sure why people are mentioning the Callaway X Protos. I assume that when we're talking about blades, we mean muscle back irons. While the Callaways are a fine club, they are really a new take on the cavity back, not a muscleback.

681 is the best in my book. Played these for a couple of years before I had to switch to lh. MP 14 is also great, the only Mizuno irons I've ever really liked. I 2nd the includion of the Muirfield 20th What a beautiful iron.

I'm playing the Titleist 710mb now. Great clubs that work really well for me, but definitely don't get my vote as the best.

Always liked old Wilson fg51 and hogan PCs , great looking clubs

feel wise mizuno are tough to beat, tp 11 and tp 19 pretty much as good as you can get

Of those on your list:

(I wouldn't choose any of those shafts, but for argument sake I'd do S300/100)

I currently game the Miura TBs. Very workable, easily can dial in any flight/spin. I've tried 2 different sets of KBS Tours in em, but gave up on them. The KBS ain't all that and a bag of chips. After pulling out that junk I was fixin to put in a set of Apex 4s 'til I found Nippon 1150 Tours.

'05 TM TPs are nice, but nothing special. Still got a set with TC S3s, but prolly gonna get rid of em.

MP100s (if you can get over that top line), the 33/100s were the last of the good ones. Once they began screwin around with the muscle, they started to suck. S 300s in mine, better than KBS but that's about it. They are a very, very solid iron. I need to play them more, but they're 3rd behind the Redlines.


Of the other blades I have:

Hogan Redlines are the easiest to hit, they oughta be classified as CBs. I just like the Apex 4 shaft.

Apex II Cameos, have the most rewarding but most difficult sweet spot to hit.

Golden Ram Tour Grinds are the sexiest and coupled with the Brunswick FM 6.5 shafts......just a delight. Played my best golf with them back in the balata days. Why I still have a brand new set.


Of those on your list I once had/hit:

Vegas are absolute cannons, but not as workable. Scratch, look like Vegas, ok clubs.

Don't do the other OEMs on your list.

681 hoffman's ? have not hit the rams, or muira baby's- 681 leaps above the rest! hogan apex pc amf5, great clubs

[SadTrombone]

Has anyone heard anything new on the USGA's ridiculous stance that the 681s need additional testing (except for the 6-iron...which is non-conforming...yeah)?

681 best of the best! USGA and that Idiot tim are useless- $9 Heiniken's $12 burgers and Finchem makes $6 million, nice!

WE know who is providing the cash for the charities!

Finchem isn't associated with the USGA.

MP-33s get my vote.
Next would be the MP-14s.

I play a set of Bridgestone J's Professional Weapons from time to time.

[BlakeBstone]

I've played a lot of blades but these are my favorites

[Mister Blue]

I currently play the Miura Tournament Blade with KBS Tour and I don't want to change or maybe for the Smoke one...

[drugazi]

the list is so long that it can hardly be consider a "best of". it might as well be titled, "all blade irons ever".

[Hackleberry100]

I played mp-14s and then mp-33s starting in '03. I have loved them both, but I have to be honest and say that my Hogan Apex PCs (from '87 time frame) were the best irons I have ever hit in my life. I know many of you would probably disagree (as I haven't seen much on here about Apex PCs), but as we all know, this is a game of feel. Those PCs, in my opinion, were the absolute best. I wish I still had them.

MY favorite? MP 32. Easy to hit, workable, feel great, what more do you need?
[/quote]top 3 worst Mizuno ever made- try anything else, ie, 29 , 14, pro II, true, 57, 33, 37, 100, etc, 32 is their bottom feeder! Saw about 8 sets at Roger Dunn a few years ago for sale-

fg51- tour issue black dot- as good as any I own- 45 sets- including 681, 29s, 14s, VIP, cg1, Apex PC, Aussies, Tourney 985, etcc

[balladm]

I have to go with MP-29s rifle steel...I played them over 10 years...now I have 69s but still miss the 29s every now and then

[redhead]

I'd vote for MP-33. Simple, minimalist, elegant, absolutely stunning. No one can match the silky smooth, butter, soft feel of a Mizuno.

Lets see here............you are answering a post that is almost three years old AND then a couple posts later you state that MP 32 are bottom feeders. You must be really bored, lonely or just feel like starting a fight, keep up the good work

The MP33 and MP14 are the best Mizuno has made and I feel like the MP68s were close.

[tommy89]

I've posted these everywhere else so might as well stick em here too

Those are sweet, where can you get them?

Well here is one for the thread...

The grinds on these fourteen's are on the top of my all time lists. I could write for hours about the grinds. The artistry of the lines. The unique grinds on the back side if the blade. The perfect size heel to toe. The feel etc. The finish is one for the ages. I will post a full gallery of these later...

Easyy, when and where will the Fourteen blades be available? I fell in love with these irons when they were first posted. I might have to sell all the furniture in my house to get them.

[SetTheBarrHigh]

I'm 24, so I haven't had the opportunity to hit many of the older ones, but my favorites are the 680's I had in high school. I pretty much wore them out. I might start looking for a set in decent shape.
