MCDavis is on a distinguished road
Dave (and others) these were built for me a long time ago (I think late 80's...can't find a record of when I bought them). At that time I had been playing 1978/79 Wilson X31 forged blades and this was the first set of irons I bought for myself. I didn't know anything about clubs, just went with the club builder's reccomendations. Now that I have a little better understanding of clubs, I was curious what I had bought back then.

What I've noticed comparing them to my rac OS2's and the MX 23's I just got is that they have a narrower sole with a much more pronounced grind (correct term?) than either of the other sets. I haven't compared offset, but this looks to be less. The topline thickness is similar to the rac's, but more than the Mizzy's. Of the 3, the Toski's are the narrowest at address.

Also noticed that the set came with a SW, but it has a 52º loft. PW is 47º. 2 iron is 19º...seems like other than the SW this set has more traditional lofts, I'm sure due to age.

I'm curious what the grinds (?) are for, and if it's a good thing why are my other set's soles flatter?

Just FYI, my plan is to play these as my beach set. I'm going to add my R580 XD (if the wife lets me have it...if not then ho ho ho), my 15º V steel, a 56º wedge I'm looking for now (thinking 588), and a putter. That way I've always got a set at the beach without having to carry my clubs along with 4 kids/wife/luggage/etc.

X31's were my 1st set, I briefly played my dad's late 70's Staff Tour blades, bought the Toski's, and now have the Mizzy's (rac's are being sold). I really haven't bought all that many clubs in my life. And, I'm fixing to re-grip the X31's to play with once in a while.

Oh yeah, the Toski's now have Nippon 950's with GP TV's logo down...got them furnished/installed by Hot Stix in a trade for no $$ out of pocket.

Anyway, I've rambled on enough. I'll probably post some comparison pics later with the X31's and the MX 23's.

Anyone who can answer the other questions or want's to give input, please do...I like learning about clubs, and this is a great way to learn!

Thanks!
