Godfather1 Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 I am using a set of the titleist 822 os irons, and I am looking to upgrade to a set of quality player cb's. I am mainly looking for a japanese set after all the great reviews I see on this site. After looking around I am leaning towards the gauge design's,and the miura mt's. If anyonne had any experience with any of these iron's please chime in. Also if anyone has anything else I should look at I am open to all suggestions. I was looking at the scratch irons but I heard they are more blade like than the others. So I hope you guys understand from this what I am looking for. Thanx in advance. 8O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godfather1 Posted May 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Has anyone tried the mp 27 from mizuno,those are some great looking irons.How would they compare in forgiveness and quality compared to the gauge design irons or any other irons I might be looking for?

mr_duffer Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Godfather1 I would be more inclined in going with MP 30's instead of 27's as far as forgiveness goes. Not to take anything away from the 27's, but the 30's are going to be just as good if your looking a players club. Another option would be going with combo of 30's and 27's. A buddy of mine ( who is a pro) that I played 18 with yesterday has this setup with DG S400's. LIkes them quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never played either the MP30s or 27s, but I do know 2 people who got rid of their MP30s in 3 weeks or so. Found them VERY unforgiving and they're single digit cappers. 8O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PxExG Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 trust me - the MP-30s are terrible. I played the MP-33s and found them to be actually MORE forgiving than the CB counterparts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billm311 Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 I can second that, As I have demoed the mp-30, and a friend on my golf team let me play with his mp-33. even witha shaft too stiff for me, they seemed easier to hit. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfather1 Posted June 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Thanks for the help but I am mainly looking at the mizuno mp-27 or the gauge design cb.I just want to know the pro's and con's of both in terms of feel quality and forgiveness,and which you would give the dge to by each.

PxExG Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Here is my take - grinds are huge on irons. I am a picker & the stock grind on the MP-33s suit me, whereas the 680s would be terrible for me. Do you know what suits you? Find out - and then look at what is out there that still meets your requirements. If you want the perfect set.... there are 3 things you can do. Happen across the perfect retail set.... or (what I did) find I retail set you like & look into getting it grinded to suit you (think JK does this) or finally... go Scratch and get it perfect 8O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfather1 Posted June 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 I am not really familiar with the term grind,and how it help,and regarding scratch I considered them but I read that they are more blade like than the others. :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfather1 Posted June 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 I spoke to a rep at mizuno that told me the only thing the mp-27 will do is make me quit the game so to speak since they are too hard to hit.He told me too look at the forged intage instead if I want feel and forgiveness.Does this make sense,I mean I play about to a 20 hndp. but i was told that the mp-27 and the gauge design cb's would be easy enough for me to use.Since I can't demo these I am basically buying based on your feedbak and advice.I am looking for a forgiving iron that just feels sweet and soft. :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxio Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 I think there might be some confusion in this thread over the MP 27 and the MP 37. The 37 is the blade right? The 27 is the CB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfather1 Posted June 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 The 27 is the cb.Can anyone tell me how these will compare to the mx-23 ?? I was told by someone that thoseor the intage would more of what I am looking for. :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorkman53 Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Another vote for the Tourstage TS 202's. They're gorgeous, very soft feeling, and for me are very accurate and forgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primo Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 You ask for a "players club" yet you don't want scratch because you think they are too blade like. See in my definition that is a players club. So what is it that scares you about the irons? They do setup very similar to blades, but believe me they are way more forgiving. So are you looking for something that has a thicker topline? More offset? Larger size?It sounds to me like you are looking for a GI player's club. If that is the case I would recomend looking at the TS-201 or even the TS-301. Both are great irons that have the "feel" of a great japanese club, yet forgiveness and confidence of a X-14 without looking so bulky. I don't think many people have played the irons you mentioned. GD irons just came out and are available only in Japan. I think there's maybe 2 or 3 sets out and Chris is one of the few that's played them. He seems to like them... Miura is an interesting one. Since Japan and NA can't seem to get their act together, these irons continue to flourish in Japan, yet over here in the US they just don't seem to have the same stuff... hope this helps...

TTLam Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Hey Primo, That's my favorite avatar I've seen on this site. Nice!!! :cool: Back to golf.. I think the MP 37s would be nice too, even if they are blades, they are modern blades. They're easier to hit than the Mp 33s. There are lots of great Player CBs... X Blade CBs, MR 23 CBs, Gauge Design CBs, maybe you can even get some Scratch CBs if you're willing to wait, but you get to customize!

Godfather1 Posted June 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Primo,basically I am looking for a player cb because lately I have been trying several GI irons for example the titleist 804 and I am hooking the ball because of the offset.Hence I am looking for a great feeling iron with less offset,but I still need some forgiveness on those off days when I am not striking well since I am still a 20 hndp. yet I am still not looking for an oversized club I actually can't stand them.So it's not that I amlooking for offset thick topline... it's just that I believe there are harder and easier to hit player cb's for example I amsure the gd's are easier than scratch.So I was thinking that the irons I mentioned aboved would fit the description.If you know about the miura irons can you tell me about the the 3001 or 3002 and 2005 irons how they will play and if these would be right for me. :love: :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 I'm interested in the debate so far, s I'm planning on geting some new irons too. I'm thinking Miura or Mizuno, but I thoughttheMP 37 were much more difficult to play with than the MP 33, and the MP 30 not forgiving enough too motivate the step to CB. :-D Toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alifried2 Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Has anyone tried the miura cb-2005, I was thinking of getting a combo mt-oo1 and cb-2005. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfather1 Posted June 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Hey Ali a combo like that is actually quite interesting where would you go about getting such a combo. I would actually would like to know if you can get a mizuno combo like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfather1 Posted June 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Well it looks like I am going to go with the miura combo(3-5 mt)(6-p cb-2005) unless someone tells me the gauge designs or the mp-27 will be easy enough for someone who plays off a 20 for the 6-p since I will probably use my old rescue clubs for the 3 & 4 until I can hit the long irons and which should I go GD or mizuno regarding ease of use . Please someone tell me which one will be easier and better feeling!!!Also which would be a better decision on my part , I mean I just don't know if I am fooling myself into thinking I can hit the mizuno or gauge irons which actually look amazing :) :-D :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GD Irons are very forgiving more than the Cb's MP-27s and the Miuras in my opinion. You will see when you hit them. :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
