That's right Diane, and a good thing to do. But it's nice to have a spare set for a visitor, just in case.

I have been playing Mizuno MP-57's for a few years now, when I purchased them I was playing alot of golf (2-3 days a week) and got my handicap down to a 6. I laid off for a while because of work and new baby and I am just now getting back into it, I am playing about a 10-11+ right now and only playing once a week if I am lucky. I having been looking at the R9's and Ping G15's and hit both in a cage at Golf Galaxy. I really need something more forgiving, and this has really given me good insight into the R9's which I like more than the G15's. Thanks and can't wait to read more.
I went by golfsmith today and hit a R9 6 iron. I like the look from the topline, I couldnt tell much by hitting them into the net but they felt good.
I felt like I could tell how I hit the ball as soon as I made contact. With the Burners this was muted quite a bit.
TGM, did you prefer the look over yours?
I was able to hit my R9's are the range this weekend and I came away very impressed. And this place uses terrible range balls. I mean just crap. And I had to hit off mats. Theres really no place around me that has real grass and with all the rain they wouldnt let you hit off it anyway. But I loved the look of the R9's from address. Feedback was amazing too. I felt like I could tell how I hit the ball as soon as I made contact. With the Burners this was muted quite a bit.
Has anyone had a problem with the ball flight always drawing or even hooking? I'm playing the mp52s and will fade my iron shots, but when i hit the r9s, i either draw or hook them (did this in a simulator). ANyone with similar experiences?
CB-
Like you, I loved the S58s, but I just couldn't hit them well. The R9s are significantly more forgiving. Shots really want to go straight.
Awesome.
I have pretty much made my decision to purchase the R9 TP irons. I need to test out the long irons though, mainly the 3-iron. I will probably head to a PGA superstore and check it side-by-side with my current 3-iron in the simulator.
I also have to decide on which shafts to go with. Either the stock KBS or the project X.
CB,
Check out the thread that was started last night. We have a panel tester doing the R9 TP irons as well.

lol I wish I had problem with a draw!
Despite my poor play today, my ball striking again remained a bright spot. The distances are getting dialed in and every time out I enjoy these irons more and more.
