Really hoping my 921Fs show up this week. I have a lesson and 3 rounds of golf booked for next week so it would be nice to break them in a bit before then!

What are your other clubs? I'm keen to always hear comparisons.Seeing this thread active the last few days is making me want to take mine out for a test spin. I only used them for a month or so prior to getting the Morgan Cup clubs. Maybe take both sets and do a bit of a bag battle post, playing two balls from my tee shot on a slow evening.
Cobra Forged Tec. I was planning on doing it in the fall after the Morgan Cup but may do it this summer if I can take advantage of the longer daylight.What are your other clubs? I'm keen to always hear comparisons.
I intend on carrying a few duplicate irons when mine arrive just for a laugh.
Awesome - I was interested in those Forged Tecs but the fitter I went to didn't stock Cobra so I didn't get a chance to hit them. I look forward to your comparison!!Cobra Forged Tec.

It's a shame he didn't have them for a fitting as I've been really impressed.Awesome - I was interested in those Forged Tecs but the fitter I went to didn't stock Cobra so I didn't get a chance to hit them. I look forward to your comparison!!
I only had five rounds with mine before they found the closet due to the Morgan Cup clubs, but I didn't experience that over those rounds. In fact, your concerns with well struck iron shots is what really pushed me into looking at new irons. My old set was from 2008 and clean struck shots from good lies with the scoring irons were sometimes jumping 15-20 yds on me. That logic is what my fitter used to guide me towards the 921Fs.Not sure if it’s the swing or the club (always assume swing) but with some swing changes I have picked up some extra distance recently but is anyone catching fliers sometimes with the Forged? And I don’t mean from a fluffy lie. I mean on a fairway and a well struck shot shoots out 15 yards further than what you expected?
It’s funny, because reading JW’s Callaway iron thread made me realize something, that I’ve been doing what he now is for most of the year.
My 921 Forged are one of the most satisfying irons I’ve put into play. They balance players and pure speed as well as anything that I’ve ever hit. But, I’m a guy who needs a little more spin and launch, so I’ve been playing the whole set 1.5* weak this season and its been a killer setup. Paired with 110 X Recoils playing my typical +1/2” they’ve been a riot. Easier launch, maintained distance, the workability I want in an iron set. Lots of wins for my needs and wants.
Did you do anymore comparisonsBeen lurking around and pulled the trigger on a set of HMP last week. Took them to the range yesterday to square off with my Cobra Forged Tec's and I have to admit, wasn't overly pleased with them out of the gate. To be fair, this is a junk range with junk balls and hitting off of mats, but first round went to my FT's. Hard to tell distance but they seemed to be about the same (slight edge to the FT). Unfortunately I had a solid push plus a fade with the HMP's unless I really made an effort to turn the club over. My FT's are bent flat and the HMP's are naturally more flat so don't think that's an issue (they should be within .5 degree of each other). KBS tours in my FT and the stock project x lz 5.5 in the HMP (have played these shafts in the past so stuck with stock).
Who knows, 9 holes scheduled today but not sure if I will put the HMP's in the bag or not or just sell since they mostly have not been hit (only swing the 5,7,9).
How do they compare to KFTsThese irons remain a lot of fun. I am hard pondering moving them back to steel, likely the Nippon Proto’s I reviewed, but I’ve got no performance reason for that.
The sound of these in well struck shots is just….well….pretty freaking incredible.
Totally different designs. Hollow body versus not. The KFT have more discretionary weight to shift in the design for forgiveness aspect and general ball speed creation. These will spin more which is something Mizuno focuses on getting right but still offer ample speed because as @Canadan will attest Chromolly is amazing. The KFT for me were about half a club longer.How do they compare to KFTs

Like I said, the KFT have more discretionary weight to move through the hollow body aspect, so they’re going to offer more forgiveness. Playability though is on the individual user and their needs. I’ve got an ace with the KFT when I bagged them but a 185 yard 7i isn’t as playable for my needs spin wise as the 921 Forged areShould have clarified my inquiry a little more.

Considering the HMP with recoil 95 shaft. Be an interesting club to experiment with.Like I said, the KFT have more discretionary weight to move through the hollow body aspect, so they’re going to offer more forgiveness.
