More testing will be needed, but after 100 balls pairing the PW, 8and 6 iron of each set against each other, the Mizuno won out in feel (shocker), forgiveness, but it also won in distance best i can tell.
The XR Pros are 1/2 longer and if specs are correct on the clubs, a hair stronger lofts in the 6 and 8 yet Mizuno kept up or even passed on some shots. Distance and spin are the hardest to determine of course hitting to dormant grass and a range that has some slight hills to it.
Looks and ball flight too go to the XR though and one reason i will keep them, but in swinging the Mizunos i realized how much i missed feeling the club head a little more and nicer feeling when you get a well struck shot. My mistake with the XR Pros is usually casting, but the increased swing weight of the mizuno helped me with my timing.
Also it's finally getting a bit ingrained after 5 range sessions this year that i really need to shorten my swing with all my clubs. I also seem to figure this out at the end of the range session each and every time, so hope next time i remember from the get go.
Sidenote: any LITE golf grip beside the Winn DriTac that i should look at putting on my XR Pro to maybe help me me the club head more?
