Good to know.
Really leaning towards Titleist or Ping at the moment. Have a trip out west in a few weeks so want this taken care of prior. I golfed competitively growing up so definitely am not relying on the salesmen there to help sway a decision.
Also have the Callaway Big Bertha X fusion driver I may look to swap out for something new as well.

This summer I was fitted at True Spec Golf for the Taylormade P790's, which was a huge mistake. I hated the feel and thickness since day 1. Side-to-side dispersion was great, but miss hits v.s. clean hits resulted in +/- 20 yards. IMO, that's exactly what sucks about any type of cast iron, no consistency - even players distance. Luckily, True Spec accepted them as returned goods and cut me a check after 6 months of use. Hehehe. I went straight to Club Champion, got fitted for the Srixon Z785's. I wanted a feel similar to my AP2's, and what I learned is, the Srixon dispersion was the same, spin rate down a tad and the price was half. No brainer for me. Good to know. I’m actually going to look for a new set of irons this weekend after 12 years of Callaway X18’s. Anyone have any recommendations? Been a while since I went to look. The JPX 919 line is sexy, long, and forgiving. The Tours aren't difficult to hit at all, but you can blend a set perfectly with the Forged and Hot Metals for the longer irons if needed. Mizuno also has a cool shaft optimizer that can tell you what shaft you should try.

You could also ask Jim or hawkdad which shaft to try. Expert advice, I would imagine.

Ended up going with the TaylorMade p790’s over Titleist AP2’s and Ping G410’s.
Definitely the most forgiving of the 3 sets and best feel by far with all of them being the same price.
Looking forward to giving them a go first time out in Vegas in two weeks.

My buddy plays the 790's. His only complaint is he'll occasionally fly a green when he hits it too clean. He's good for a couple jumpers every round. But that's more on him than the club.
I think they look sharp.

I've been playing the CB-57's 3-P. I love them so much I had a second set built with a softer shaft for colder weather rounds. I think I found my "forever" set.

I think they look sharp. They were definitely the longest distance-wise of the 3 sets. I’m a natural draw on the ball and have a pretty strong grip that’s tough to adjust. Would kill to be able to hit it a little straighter while giving up 10-15 yards.

Looking forward to giving them a go first time out in Vegas in two weeks. Yep, they definentely launch straight balls. Spin less, and stronger loft's than the AP2's as well. For some reason I couldn't ever get any Ping product down on spin. Cant believe you liked the feel equally as the Titleist. That was a main reason for me sending mine back. To each his own. Swinging new clubs with new grips is one of my favourite pastimes.

I have a mish mash of clubs. I have a core of Adams hybrids/irons but I just picked up a 10 Hybrid 40 degree. Great for me for 130-140 yd. type shots. Almost 65 yrs old. Hybrids sure make my game easier and golf is always more fun when I play better. Drinking beer while playing helps too.

Target now is within 20 of my age (68).

Kisner wins the WGC after finishing 2nd last year. Pretty impressive.
