Request for feedback on my new set of mizuno Iron

[Frederic]

Fellow THPers,


I am about to pull the trigger on a new set and thought I would ask for some feedback on the specs before I place the order.
I have been testing all these clubs and many other for a few months now. I measured all my distance gaps between each clubs to make sure I had the proper gap, as well as the proper launch angle and back spin.
I am favoring the MP69 at the moment but I have kept some MP64 in there as well thought I am not finding them easier than the 69 so I might go 69 all the way to the 5 iron. So far I am getting the same technical numbers between the 69 and the 64, so the choice might end up being on feel and look at the end of the day.
I selected the MP-H4 for the 4 and 3 iron simply because I am not as concerned with distance control for these 2 clubs (within reason) than I am with every other club in my bag. I never attack the pin at 220 yards and above, I simply want to land on the green - so the H4 launch angle are what I am after.


Without further ado, here are the specs:


I am making the following modifications:
- Added 3° to the lie on all clubs (4° on SW and LW)
- Added 1" to all Irons
- Added 0.5" to hybrid


Shafts:
- KBS C-Tapper S (6.3) on all clubs including wedges (not the hybrid)
- Kbs hybrid X 110g (5.5) for the old rescue 21° hybrid at 40.25"


Grip:
Tour Wrap 2G mid with 3 layer of tape 2" from the butt.




Type Club L/B ° Lie° Length " SW
H4 3 21/0 62.5 39.75 D5
H4 4 24/.5 63.0 39.25 D5
64 5 27/2 63.5 38.75 D6
64 6 30/3 64.0 38.25 D6
64 7 34/3 64.5 37.75 D6
69 8 38/4 65.0 37.25 D6
69 9 42/5 65.5 36.75 D6
69 P 46/6 66.0 36.5 D6 (Delofted to 47/7)


R12 G 52/7 66.5 36.25 D6
R12 S 58/10 67 36 D6
R12 L 64/7 67 36 D6

Thanks for sharing your thoughts,

I've always been told to play your wedges 1* or so flatter than your irons but everyone is different.

I just bought the irons and the wedges yesterday.
It took me months of analysis to find out exactly what I needed in terms of equipment and then in terms of the fitting of the clubs.
I wound up getting the mp64 for the 5,6,7 and the mp69 for the 8,9,pw.
And I am getting the R12 in (52, 58, 64)
c-taper shaft all around.

I left off the h4 for now. I had great success with the 4 but not as much with the 3. I therefore decided to wait to try some different hybrids and check the gap with my new set before I make the purchase for the long iron. I think it will take me quite some time before I make a decision on my new hybrids and new driver (if I actually find a better one).

Nice looking setup if it works for you! I play all my irons 2* upright but my wedges standard! I have never technically been fitted for wedges, I just go off feel and choose my grinds based on my swing as I play vokey wedges.
