I've been playing the 301's for awhile now after discovering this site and having my eyes opened about real quality golf clubs. When I started hearing about the AF Tours, I decided I HAD to have some of these. Always played blades, sometime only in the short irons, and wasn't all that impressed with my MP 67's. So I got a set of the Tours.

Anyone who had questions about mixing 301's and AF Tours shouldn't worry about the diff. in lofts. The 301's have a lotta weight low in the head to get it up a little. What I didn't realize til I git the Tours is how much weight is high in the head. The head is actually thicker above the "swoosh" than below it. Took a few of the 301's and Tours out to the range and hit them side by side and saw almost no difference in distance, maybe a yard or two. I play to a 3 and iron play/distance control is the strength of my game. Gist of this is that I think you can mix a set of these two and not worry a bit about the lofts being different. BTW, shafts are the exact same in both, Nippon 1050GH. And the Tours are really forgiving up to about 1/2" toward the toe, which is where my misses usually are. GREAT irons and beautiful to boot.

Good info. So what have you decided on the mix? 7-PW AF Tour?
