For a good while I have asked for

[cypressperch]

ideas about Titleist verses Mizuno irons (695 cb and mb verses MP-32, 60, 67.) The decision has been made, and I have been fitted and the clubs have been ordered. Drum role, please........The Mizuno MP-67's. (Along with a couple of Mizuno wedges--R Series 54* and 58* and a Mizuno hybrid rather than the three iron. I feel very good about the decision. I have been playing the same Spalding Topflite Pro-Forged irons for the last thirty years, and even though those clubs helped me achieve a number of successes, it was time to change.

I took the Mizuno 32,60, and 67 six-irons to a near-by driving range, and put them on a stand making sure that I did not know which club was which. I would hit three shots with one, then switch to another. To be honest, I hit all of these clubs pretty well, but after three buckets and close to two hours, it seemed to me that one of the three was producing more near perfect shots than the other two. It was only then that I looked and saw that it was the MP-67. Again, the other two were quite all right. I was sort of thinking that the MP-60 might have been the way to go because of the forgiveness advantage, but forgiveness did not seem to either be needed that much or there wasn't that much of forgiveness there unless some of the good shots should have been worse than they were. But then, if they had been bad why go with that club, when I was not hitting any really bad shots with the other two clubs. Or maybe they too had some forgiveness from the cut muscle thing as opposed to my old true blades.

I do not know about you folks, but this waiting for clubs to come in is almost more than I can handle. Thanks for the input which was truly more for Mizuno than Titleist (I ran into that trend elsewhere too.), and I had definitely been leaning towards the 695MB. I have a Tiltleist staff bag, and subconsciously I may have been thinking of filling it with Titleist equipment. I do play Titleist "woods" and the Titleist ProV1 is my ball of choice, so the bag still sort of fits.

Sincerely, Cypressperch

I hate waiting for clubs. I had to wait a day to hit my driver, was getting under my skin.

Great choice though, the 67s are very nice and I actually demoed some when I was trying out shafts. Great feeling irons, if I could afford them and didn't have my 33s, I might have gotten them.

That is so awesome of the people you went to to let you hit so much with their irons, just great service, and it paid off.

Hope you enjoy them when they get in, and write a review!
