Tourstage TS-202 - Similar to???

[bmenx2]

What compares in 2010???

What are the Tourstage TS-202 similar to in todays iron market?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I game TS-202s and have not found any irons that out perform them. Got three sets of them now. I do not care for the look of new irons these days.

I have a set of Tourstage 202s with Tour Concept shafts. Excellent set of irons. I also have a set of Bridgestone J38 Dual Pockets. I've played them back-to-back and found the J38s to be very close in feel and performance to their Tourstage cousins. The 202s are slightly better in every aspect, but the J38s are excellent, too.

I think the Mizuno MX 300s are quite similar. Pictures are too hot but you get the idea.

Thanks guys for the info. It seem like there is a lot of love for the TS202's!

I think the MX300's seem fairly close as do the J38 PC's.

I was also thinking of maybe the J36 PC's, Fourteen TC550's, Epon AF-701's or Miura MC 102's?

Any thoughts?

Depends a lot on what you are looking for. All those clubs you mentioned are different type of irons. Do you want super forgiving or more players irons?

Thank you for your reply. I'm actually looking for something current that is similar to the TS202 - forgiveness, playability of the club work fairly well for me. I would, however take the same workability with more forgiveness if it will lower my scores!


Thanks

I agree that the Mizuno MX300 is very close to the 202s; near identical lofts too iirc - from 45* PW unless they have been adjusted.

Forthcoming MP53 looks likely to be similar in head size and overall features & player profile, etc. but will probably have slightly weaker lofts comparatively... new grind looks promising though!
