jnh Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I strike the ball just barely well enough to play blades. So, ease of use, forgiveness, playability, whatever you want to call it, is a factor in my decision. I'm definately more concerned with performance than feel. For me, spending 1,200 to 1,800 on irons is a big deal, so i want to get it right. I would appreciate as many opinions as i can get. Thanks!

bngolfer Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) I play Vega 50th Anniversary blades. They are not super forgiving but then again, no blades are. On off center hits towards the heal the ball tends to carry just shy of a pured shot whereas shots on the toe will cost you a bit more, say 5-7 %. The long irons are pretty easy to hit - I carry the 3 iron and don't hesitate to hit it. If you have a chance to try them out, do it!

idrive Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I have played all of the above mentioned irons. I will admit that the shafts in the Vega's were lousy, outdated shafts (not sure why someone would have installed them) and made them not compare favorably to the rest. That said, the Epon AFTours are my favorite. I could live with and be happy to have any of them in my bag as they are all excellent irons. Fitted to you with the shaft of your choice, you can't go wrong with any of them. The AFTours just seem a bit more forgiving and have an excellent feel. Very workable and easy to hit straight.
