tincup975 Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Well I don't have any info on these two irons but I am wondering whether or not they are similar in size or playability......Are the long irons in the J33B's smaller than the MR-23's?? I hope that they aren't but wanted to know if anybody has seen them side by side. Also how about the shape?? Similar or not??? Basically anyone that can give me some info on the differnces between the two and which one would be more forgiving that would be great!!! Also where can I get the Bridgestone's at?? I have tried almost every place that I can think of and all anybody knows about is the ball.......someone on here must have some knowledge.......Thanks!!!!!

vmhuang Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 The J33Bs are similar to the Xblades. The main difference being the sole grind is rounder so it doesn't dig as much. The Xblades are about the same size as the MR23s, I feel they are more workable then the MR23cbs and about the same as the MR23 blades. Not as soft as the MR23s but still buttery. But we are talking fractions here, to put a number on the difference, either one is not overly forgiving as compared to an MX23 or even an MP30 but rewards crips strikes with unparalleled feel and performance. This is based on the assumption that the sole grind is the only difference between the 2 irons. They will be available in March (that's what my local shop told me). If you want to play them now, buy the Xblades. Just be aware that they do dig in, so be prepared to take large divots if you have an aggressive swing and like to hit down hard on the ball.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 The J33B heads are the same of the X-blade, maybe some subtle grind differences like more roundedness etc but overall very similar. IMO the MR-23 is much easier to work yet is less forgiving with its smaller head and higher C.O.G also keep in mind the new 2005 Tourstage blade is set to release in April.
