Thanks for getting back. All things considered. You are very right on individual swings/delivery at impact and lofting preferences. The only real feedback i have thus far is the HMP 6i bent one degree weak at the fitting that gave me numbers on the trackman and consistency I’ve never seen or felt in my life and then having hit the stock forged 7i maybe 8 balls worth at the local shop by my house which produced nice numbers on the trackman as well - this making them top choices going into the fitting. Also having never owned Mizzy irons the feeling when hit well really is something else!!!! and mishits not harsh and not punishing at all with both irons.It goes without saying that the 921 Forged feel amazing. I have never played a Mizuno iron and immediately once I hit them I realized this is what many were talking about all along.
Feel being subjective, and let's say they feel great, that brings up to performance. Distance wise I am not seeing a gap from my HMP 7i to the Forged 8i. There is a 6* gap there, but on course results does not having me wishing I bent the 7i weaker or the 8i stronger. Compared to my previous set (Apex CF-19 Combo) the lofts are pretty similar.
I will say I am not sure if it is the shaft change (went back to Recoil 95's) but I am seeing a touch more distance out of the Forged 8-PW. I know we all deliver the club differently at impact, but FOR ME I am not seeing anything that would tell me I have gapping issues.
part of me just wants to order the forged 8-PW right now and be done with it and the other part says save your dough and at least play the HMPs first. Club champ gives a 90 day grace period so I think I will just play the HMP and see what’s what then make the decision within the 90 day period.
