ethan Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 I am trying to decide between the Z101's, TS 201's, X Blade CB's, or an old set of Mizuno MP-14's. If any one could please give me their opinion i would appreciate it. Also, how do you guys think the Srixon I302's match up against the Tourstage models?[/b] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffy Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 ethan- lot's of threads over the past several months in this forum thoroughly discussing these clubs; you might want to do a search for these while you're waiting for replies. jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Z's are also very similar but touted as more of a players CB. The TS201, TS202's and XCB's are connected through lineage of a line really. Each one replace the other. I think the XCB's would be the way to go with this because they are the newest. The Z's are being discontinued. In fact, they are very difficult to find right now and are becoming classics. Go with the latest and the greatest and that is the X CB's, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read that the 201s don't feel quite as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MX20 would probably be more like these than anything, except Mizuno feel like Mizuno and Tourstage feels like Tourstage. I definitely give the nod to Tourstage in terms of feel...your experience with their playability will differ from my because we swing differently but I found the Tourstage more forgiving as well--Imagine that!!! The TS202, game enhancements irons, are of the MR23 line in terms of looks, shape and feel. Even some of the better players around here and elsewhere find the TS202s among the best irons available. It's just a matter of your preference to play slightly larger irons with more offset vs. player type CBs like z101 or MR23s. If we all followed the advise of the wise who suggests that uless you are a very good, consistent ball striker then game enhancement clubs like the TS202 are the way to go.

ProSpec Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 DD, where do the 201s fit in? They seem like a good compromise between the 202s and 23s. You have any experience with 'em? Thank's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they can be classified as a additions to the design line--the progressive, sharpe angle cavity with tungsten insert design--but I wouldn't go so far as to say they are a "compromise" between the two. The z101 are really small in comparison to the TS202. I actually think they even appear smaller than the MR23s. They certainly have less offset and bounce that the 23s. No, I think we should say that the z101 stand on their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think we should say that the z101 stand on their own. I actually read your question wrong...the 201s would fit right in between the MR23/z101 and TS202 in terms of offset, size, and playability/forgiveness intent. They are not as sweet feeling, nor quite as forgiving as the TS202s...nor do they match the accuracy of the 23s or 101s. They're actually kind of Class-B. Not because of the forging process or metal used but more because of the cavity design. I think I like the MX20s better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read that the 201s don't feel quite as good. Drivers info is very good. I've never hit the 201's. 202's are the way to go if you want ultimate forgiveness. the XCB's are expensive, but I think they are worth it and easy to hit. Just not as easy as the 202's.

The ulitmate iron set would be: 3-5 - TS202, 6-8 MR23 US Spec, and 7-PW MR23 US Blade. Second choice would be 3-5 TS202 & 6-PW z101. Third choice: 3-5 XCB & 6-PW X-Blade.

ProSpec Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Thank's for the replys. Too bad the 201s don't have the feel of the 202s. They are a great size and I like the amount of offset. btw. DD, are the Miz. MX-20s pretty much the same as the new 23s? How much offset do the 20s have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
