Well, equip me then !

[3oneday]

OK, I'm a bit over all the ho'ing. As the boys saw yesty, I had the toppies in, with this stuff as well:

Burner TP 9.5° 50 gram X
18° Bridgey hybrid
21° Synchron hybrid
Nana & Pop Scotty.

I had a 54° and 60° TP Black wedges but I have the 51 and 57° Vokey Nomads coming. The plan with those would be to carry them and the 60° TP.

So, I have room for 7 irons. 4 to Wedge, about a 46 or 47° wedge.

These are my choices.....

1) AP2 4 to Wedge being sold on here (not a huge fan of forged though)
2) R7 TP - should be arriving via UPS (the wankers) today - edit, just got the "box here" sms from the wife 8)
3) Tour Preferred - have a set listed on ebayjust sold on ebay
4) MP32/MP60 combos - will arrive sometime this week. Great clubs, probably too small a head in the 4 and 5 iron even with MP60's.
5) Toppies

So, once i get whatever with the right lie angle, the aim is to just stop. Not stop golfing, stop ho'ing !

[BBM Rick]

Yeah, right! Pfffft!!
I vote the Tour Preffered. On paper it makes sense, somewhat traditional blade look at address, with the benefit of perimiter weighting. Second choice would be the Mizzy's, even though its not as practical.
Just go with what you know, ho!

[Captain Nemo]

Id go the r7 tp's!

[sms316]

Worst Thread Ever. Daylight second.

[BrisVegas]

there are a million different irons that would be fine. hell, i dont even mind the look of the Nike Split Cavs or the TMTPs. If you can get past the garnishing they all seem to do on the back cav and/or pocket, heaps of irons are quite reasonable.

Or, get some Ping i10 irons and never worry about your irons ever again.

I once had a set of toppies with Tour Concepts in them you know 8)

Are the KBS only tapered ? What sort of dollars ? I am warming to the idea of keeping the toppies. Maybe having shaft bling will stop folks from being embarrassed by me :lol:

[BBM Rick]

I doubt it.

[goonie]

Get taper shafts and shim them, that way they are constant weight and you can fit them to any heads down the track. I have some DGSL's in .370 and I am limited to what I can fit them in.

[henno]

Get some S58s. In fact, get two sets as I want one as well. :-)

Cheap-ish, cast, yummy.

[3oneday]

Nup, list only.

[henno]

32/60 combos are my vote then.

[moree golfer]

"Get taper shafts and shim them, that way they are constant weight and you can fit them to any heads down the track."

Ask Virge and he will say no to shimming iron shafts. One has a taper ie get thinner towards the tip, and one is parallel ie. constant diameter of .370. You don't get enough contact with the epoxy to hold it.

[virge666]

Ping I10's in something softish - but not light.

BS, There is no issue shimming irons or woods if you know what your doing, and with irons it's handy when your an uber ho like 3OD who changes clubs all the time :-)

[goonie]

The Tour Preffered's have less offset than the R7TP'sif that is an issue.

[3oneday]

Yeah, I was trying to find the specs on the R7 Tp's to compare but couldn't. Thanks for that ;)

[virge666]

R7 TP's are shite . . . FFS get a set that at least have some forgiveness and feedback.

Go for the MP60 or AP2 - way better club.

And I don't shim tapers into parallel heads. Too many ways for it to jam in crooked. I have been known to drill out a 355 head though.

Not much (else) excites me in my list to be honest. R7 TP's are already on ebay ;)

If you like cast, have a look at the Ping S58s. I haven't even looked at another set of irons since buying them two or three months back - and that's saying a lot!!

The ZZ65 is a beautiful shaft, too.

Cobra Pro CBs. There is no substitute.

Try finding them used at a decent price in the USA...they either didn't sell well or everyone is holding on to them. A good set went for US$550 they other day. I was thinking maybe @ $350-375 they way their prices run.

Pro MB's are also quite hard to find as well...for the right $ anyway.

Considering that "search called off" would have meant you decided to keep the toppies, I'm going to have to assume you're going with the R7TPs.

No, well yes, I am keeping the toppies, they are worthless to anyone else ;)

I decided to broaden my horizons outside my list, as much as I'm a ho, I'm also becoming a tightarse.

I found a mint set of CG Red, 4 to pitch, for $230USD. I'll spend a few bucks getting some decent grips, get them flattened and away we go 8)

[Captain Nemo]

My BIL has the CG Golds, previous model, says they go well!

[Bailsworth]

One of the older guys at my club has the CG Reds, i'm pretty sure he is in his mid to late 60s (still playing off about 4) and he told me that he bought them because as much as he loved his old blades, they were just getting a little tough to hit consistently, He loves the Clevelands now.

Incidentally, whenever i feel guilty for having more clubs than i can technically use at any one given time, i just log on here... you guys make me feel soo much better.

A mate has a set of MP-32s with all the paintfill removed that I will admit are much sexier than my 58s, but I still love them, and maintain they are prettier than R7TPs!

A friend of mine has MP52s with the paintfill removed and they've been beadblasted/sandblasted to make them a satin finish. They look pretty nice.

[virge666]

I really wouldn't call the S58 "pretty" I own and love my set . . . but they are not a looker.

I am working on Russ's CG Tours and they look the goods. MP67 look the goods, Muira's irons look schmick.

S-58 look alright in a girl next door, "do her cause it is convenient" kind of way.

[Bailsworth]

Please excuse the ignorance of a recent member, but i am curious as to why the specification for cast clubs? It is to remove the "bag chatter" factor, which would (i guess) improve possible resale value? Or is it something far less technical along the lines of "they feel better".

[Courty]

[3oneday]

Good question, one I have been asked a few times.

I guess having ho'd so much over the years is one of the reasons I like to use the Toppies. I would feel comfortable to hit them off gravel if I had to.

[virge666]

I have been using forged irons for about 11 years now and i don't know if i could go back..

Quick answer - do not want an arguement, there is no point as I am right.

:)

Nowadays - there is no difference in feel between cast and forged. The club design and shaft define the feel of the club. A cast blade will have more feedback than a perimeter weighted forged club. This is due to design and not manufacturing process.

In the olden days of yester-year - only blades were forged, so cast clubs were big chucky ugly things made of cast iron ... and blades were get your penis out on the first tee and stroke it smooth soft gooey high carbon steel.

This old wifes tail has been carried on through the years of golf suggesting that forged clubs have more feel - this is a crock of shite as it is a lump of steel on the end of a stick. The club design and COG location will define the feedback, and as long as the steel you have made the club out of is harder than the golf ball it hits . . . there is no such thing as "soft feel"

Best I can do.

[3oneday]

Answers that long don't belong in my threads. ;)

I like a bit of arrogance in a response :wink:

I just can't help but think that there IS always going to be a difference between "a hunk of steel" that has been heated and hammered into shape, compared to one that has been heated even further into a liquid state and then poured into a mold.

As many club makers will tell you, the notion of "soft feel" is far more to do with the sound made at impact as opposed to the sensation felt through the hands.
That being said (and in an effort to bring it all back to thread relevance) I played a round with a set of the new Tour Preferred irons last week, and there was an audible "click" at impact on "middled" shots, the sound (i have found anyway) is specific to a cast iron head. The clubs performed well, definitely a higher trajectory than both the Mizuno and Ben Hogan blades i have had in the bag over the past decade. Still very workable on command, and about 3-5m longer than my blades, but this was in part due to the stronger lofts. I would recommend the irons..

I just can't help but think that there IS always going to be a difference between "a hunk of steel" that has been heated and hammered into shape, compared to one that has been heated even further into a liquid state and then poured into a mold.

Of course there is. And forged carbon steel is generally softer. No question. You'd certainly notice it in a hammer or a chisel, or anything you use to hit something harder than the tool itself.

Telling me that you can gauge the hardness of a piece of metal by bouncing a soft rubber ball on it just doesn't compute. It's like saying you can feel whether your alloy wheels are forged by simply kicking the rubber tyre around it.

So the TMs clicked. Well I guess that solves that then.

How about I make two 1kg balls of steel, one cast and one forged, and drop one on each of your feet, and you tell me which is softer. That's pretty well on par with saying you can gauge softness by hitting a little rubber ball.

Not to mention the TMs have a different head shape, hafts, grips etc to the forged buttery beauties you are comparing them to.

Why don't you get someone to drop them on your head instead :mrgreen:

Surely the softer/harder argument has been done to death. Maybe it could be argued they have a softer apparent feel?

I like forged cause they gouge and mark so well on some of our 2nd rate goats tracks who feel that gravel in a bunker is an acceptable state of affairs.:smt013

[henno]

Hux, after I read your post this morning I went and took a look, and I have a few nasty nicks on my irons as well. 9-iron in particular.

Hooray for cast 431 stainless!

[razaar]

It is noticeable that most of the newer model cast irons have vibration dampeners behind the face to achieve a softer feel. I have yet to feel a softer contact than the Mizuno cavitys. The density of the head from the forging process and the design characteristics appears to dampen vibrations more efficiently than many of the cast heads.

[3oneday]

You should try the bridgeys, although maybe the PX 5.5 help the feel.

[Chris32]

I stick foam in the shafts, it makes them feel so soft I don't even know when I shank one!

Took the Tour Preferred with KBS out today, the 5 and 6 iron were very good to chip with early (out of the trees).

Hit some very solid irons on the back nine, including a 4 iron over the stick on the 175 metre par 3 11th, went like a dart. Hit a great 8 iron about 140 on the 17th (pity the hole is only 133).

Bag seems set ;), only stick I didn't hit was the 3 iron.

Very similar to the R7 TP in head shape, just less offset. Can't comment on the KBS yet as I probably only flushed a few, but the ones I did held nicely 8)

Never bothered with AP2, Toppies are still in the shed.

Hit the MP32/60 combos, great clubs but on a bad day too hard.
Bought the R7 TP's but they were only $150 less than the Tour Preferred and I had that been there done that feeling.
Cleves, too shiny.

Almost took a set of Tour Preferred to Bankstown last Sunday but stumbled across the set that GolfEtail were selling. They had no mention of anything special except the shaft manufacturer said KBS. So I played Toppies at Bankstown (in between hitting a few of Ricks Bridgeys with PX 5.5). Won the auction walking up the last !

They arrived Thursday, hit the 6 iron in the warm up nets at Windsor 6 times Sunday at 7.15. Hit off 7.16 !

So there you go, I might do some work this week (once I find a putter and a short game :lol:).

Macjack's MP62s look alright at $500...

So the TP's are the shizz hey, maybe I should keep mine ans put the KBS's in them, what flex KBS do you have, and do they play to flex? I have read a few threads saying they are a little soft to flex.

They just say KBS Tour S, so I assume this is the first lot that came out.

I won't rave about them yet, but the couple I hit well I hit really well. Sad to say, the head on the TM's look better than the toppies do ;)

KB tour were the first ones, but I think it is just a name change, mine just say KBS tour by FST and I just picked them up an hour a go.

Cool, so in the TP or the Maxfli ?

In the maxflis first, I like the blade short irons so I can keep the ball down if needed. But I must say I have been surprised how forgiving the long irons are too.
