it is very much like a blade indeed. No cavity, and one step down from Mizunos pure blades in a line-up that contains 7 different iron sets. Pretty damned bladey imo, and in most peoples it would be fair to say.

O Flopshot, Flopshot! wherefore art thou Flopshot?
Do I need to stop off at Asda and pick up the nibbles for tonight or has this run its course ? Can peopole just agree to disagree about what is best (or isn't best) for each others games. It's something we do for enjoyment. If having a bag of nice clubs is part of that, so be it. Live and let live :lol:
ps Gareth, you really do need to take better care of your clubs, that's disgraceful keeping those Mizzies in that state

You've got a lot of sweetspot hits there..... surrounded with a lot of miss-hits
Have you thought about a set of Dunlops? :whoo:

Give me a break James! This was taken at the range, during an evening in May after hitting 100 baws with a 6 iron grooving swing changes from my pro.
As for the Dunlops, I could be tempted but I already have my eye in a lovely set of Slazenger irons :thup:
Forget the Dunlop and slazengers what you need old boy is a nice set of TM r7 GI irons they can be got quite cheap i'm told.
They will do wonders for that high handicap of yours

Swung a club in competition of march the following year 2010...... Played all that year all 2011 and at the start of 2012 in february I ruptured my left Achilles tendon plating ball again...... Spent march April may June out in a cast..... Had physio after that for 2 months o that put pay to 2012..... I'm back fit again for this season so if I was to break it down I should say Iv been playing competitively for about 38 months or so...

I couldn't possibly hit those off my handicap Foxy.
It appears I need to find a set of clubs with a face the size of a frying pan. Have sole as thick as a loaf of bread with a cavity back the size akin to something seen on the surface of the moon to make sure I hit the sweet spot!!
That'll be a set of Ping K15's then

So the sweetspot hits were the Pro demonstrating and the others were you right

If I said it was the other way around, would you believe me..........

Australian Blades were lovely!
Unless you thinned one. Then you needed reconstructive wrist surgery and a slug of methadone.

Well apparently you wouldn't benefit from GI irons because you flush your irons every time. Then post a pic where you have a ball pattern all over the face, some pretty outlying. It's evident you have a lot of mis-hits.
Still you carry on in dreamland, to be honest with your attitude, I have no desire to see you improve.

When did I say I wouldn't benefit?
Again, when did I say this? I find the middle of the face often enough to use my irons effectively. My handicap trend over this, and the previous season supports this fact.
As I said in a previous post, that picture you reference was taken after hitting 100 balls with that 6 iron, after a lesson. Of that 100 balls, of course there were mis-hits.
How many time have you come away from a lesson, trying to ingrain changes and flushed every shot? Show me a pro on tour that never misses the sweet spot, ever!?!
My point. There is enough of a concentration of good strikes, in the sweet spot area and around the centre of the face, as compared to the mis-hits to justify having the irons I do. If after 100 strikes there was absolutely no distinct pattern to the impact marks, I would agree with you 100%.
However, there is a noticable concentration, in the centre of the face to evidence that I find that area, more than I miss it.
Pictures don't lie Hugh. How you choose to interprit the image is down to you.
Dreamland?
Since I've moved fromgame Improvement irons to 'players' irons, my handicap has dropped over 4 shots! What exactly am I dreaming about? I'm shooting low 80's pretty much most rounds now, with the od high 70 score thrown in for good measure. Could I do this if my irons were unsuitable for my swing/ability?
Taking your stand point, surely, my handicap would have remained stagnant, if not increased as I couldn't hit these irons correctly with all the mis-hits that I must be hitting?
I respect the point you make Hugh, and respect you for debating and standing by your point.
For you to say the irons I was custom fitted for, by a qualified club fitter and teaching pro, coupled with my handicap dropping 2 shots over this season, are not right for me, with never having seen me play, or even swing a club, is, frankly, a wild guess.

Dude, he is the reason young people do not take the game up, he is the reason golf is not cool... don't fight him on it. As time goes by one hopes that the old guard and old attitudes die off and golf becomes for everyone not just the snobs. OMG thank you that I do not come in contact with people like this in the real world of golf!!!!
