July 10, 200717 yr comment_137454 Which of the highly touted iron sets have relatively more bounce and / or anti dig leading edges? Epon J. Mizuno MP 60. Tourstage TS201 and 202. Royal Collection Blades (in comparison only to MP33s)
July 10, 200717 yr Author comment_137456 how about the x-blade cb, mp32, r7 japan, j33 cb and x-forged? anyone know.
July 10, 200717 yr comment_137459 My Tourstage MR-23 US Spec CBs have a reasonably killed leading edge and dig very little. The close ups are the 23s. Compare to the Hogan. Edited July 10, 200717 yr by Cameron
July 10, 200717 yr comment_137460 Maruman Conductor Power Forged Irons should also be added to the list...
July 10, 200717 yr comment_137470 I notice the raw Yururi wedges gave a similar grind on the leading edge to the Marumans.
July 23, 200717 yr comment_138046 Titleist 670 blades....high bounce, blunt leading edge. Made for steep swinger. like me.
August 11, 200717 yr comment_139169 I second the Maruman Conductor. No forged club that I have played digs less.
August 25, 200717 yr comment_140038 how about the x-blade cb, mp32, r7 japan, j33 cb and x-forged? anyone know. X Blade CB 2 has...more like a smoothed out V grind on the sole....use light reflection to check the sole, you would know what i mean.
June 1, 201113 yr comment_167599 Fast forward 2011.. I'm interested in more recent model irons falling in this category.
June 1, 201113 yr comment_167601 Which of the highly touted iron sets have relatively more bounce and / or anti dig leading edges? It's not all that hard to feel the leading edge of any candidate irons and make a decision. I also suspect it's more likely that your need is a swing instructor to get you into the habit of hitting the small ball before the big ball. Personally, I've gone the opposite direction, retiring my Fourteen TC 1000's and Sword's in favor of bagging my 20+ year old Eye 2's which have, I think, twice the thickness of leading edge to the above mentioned. I hit the small ball first with all the clubs but these days I'm in the memory lane mood. It's just a mood in my case, or I'm feeling my age. The rounded leading edge does help reduce the damage of hitting the big ball before the small ball, but better would be to practice enough to make hitting the small ball habitual even if you have to swing a little bit more slowly and carefully. It does not take long to get used to the change and then get back to the more furious swing. As a matter of fact, most people I've met do so so quickly that they lose what progress they made. Shambles
June 1, 201113 yr comment_167605 So many moving parts in the swing & things can change so subtle during a round so any equipment help is appreciated :) You're right though, gone to a range that's a little sandy & really exposed the off strikes.
June 1, 201113 yr comment_167632 Googling the subject of bounce & sole width on irons since so much rain in Sydney & everything is soooo soft & lush. This topic came up.
October 7, 201113 yr comment_171257 my rc fd forged iron mave a leading edge relief, and it is very forgiving, easier than my ping g10.
October 10, 201113 yr comment_171279 Mizuno JPX 800 pros have a nice sole and played well in soft conditions. Titlelist Japan VG3s are also nice in wet soft conditions, any condition really.
October 23, 201113 yr comment_171618 Miura 1957 LE Blades solved my issue. Coming from mp-68 these have more bounce stock and the shorter heel to toe gives an awesome turf interaction. Played it now in various conditions. Huge diff, even during wet conditions, I get nice thin-med divots. Along with the kbs c taper i have dropped 3.4 off my handicap so far in the short period I have had it.
