Figure I'll put this in here rather than the pondering thread.
Seriously pondering sticking with a "tweener" iron set more long term simply because they are what I enjoy playing the most. I understand more than most the forgiveness factor given up from, say, my Apex, but honestly sometimes I just don't care and I want to play something more demanding just because.
Dunno, pure bag setup thoughts there as I would be giving up about 1/2 club distance wise through a set.
More of a game enhancement persay?

I'm feeling exactly the same dude. Altitudes did nothing for me yesterday and I actually enjoy playing the 845's more at this time.
Funny funny thing.
That Vapor Pro-Combo, M3, etc type of iron, yeah. Hell, even the S55's fell into that for me (though I would like wider soles than those).
Just something I feel like playing because I believe I can. Apex will go nowhere, and I will be adding Alts back this winter, but I like options for when I feel like this.
I'm in the same boat dude only coming in from the other direction. I want a little more forgiveness compared to the S3 pro's and I think I could gain 1/2 club of distance. Cobra served me well but I know it's time to move on.
I really need to find a club for those 120 yard shots. PW is 130-135 and the 54 is 110 at most. Tried the 50 X-forged but I am only seeing max distance at about 115. Gonna try the set GW in the m3 and see what happens there.
I just find myself in that distance to often and need to find a club that works. The top of my bag is pretty much set.
Not sure how well I will like the s300 in it but may throw the Hi-rev shaft in it that's in my 50. Maybe I just need new shafts for my wedges. Go with the Kbs tours instead of the Hi-revsThat GW is wonderful.

So I am pondering a new set of irons and I feel like I have a very versatile idea.
I am sticking with the G30 Driver and 3 Wood. I have a 20* Adams Pro Hybrid.
For wedges, I have a 52* and 58* Vokey SM5 and a 50, 54, and 58* Tour Preferred.
I am pondering a 2-4 iron set of MP-H5's and 5-PW set of MP-15.
The reason I am stoked is I have 3 different bags I can carry with these clubs.
For shorter courses or ones where wedges will be key, I can run this setup.
Driver, 3 Wood, 20* Hybrid, 4-PW and 50, 54 and 58* wedges.
For longer courses in temperate weather I have the following setup
Driver, 3 Wood, 20* Hybrid, 3-PW and 52 and 58* wedges.
For longer courses in windy or cold weather weather I have the following setup
Driver, 3 Wood, 2-PW and 52 and 58* wedges.
I really am liking that with the lofts of the new irons and the way the combo set blends I can build a multi-purpose setup.
Sounds pretty damn fun/solid to me. REALLY want to hit the H5's and 15's myself. I like the amount of versatility there for you, I know its something you really really enjoy having.
I really want to enjoy GI irons but after some review of my scores I always perform better with my players cavity irons. I love the fun of high launch straight irons but the scores ultimately dont reflect any improvement. I think I am just one of those #internetgolfers who performs when playing a bit more demanding set.
Yep, they're great irons, just like the set, but IMO a 4i is a 4i and will always be a demanding club, I can elevate it just fine, but its still a 4i. We are at a point where for most of us mere mortals, there is not reason to take advantage of a hybrid there, not everyone I know but for most. The 5i is fine, it just doesn't fit for what I want right now, still a long iron and if you struggle with elevating long irons off the deck, even the best irons out there (IMO like these are) won't help.
I have been trying to simplify my bag lately. I have essentially removed the long irons from my bag.
Driver: 11*
3h & 4h
5i-9i
PW and SW
Off the tees it is either Bertha or the 3 hybrid. If I have some room on the right side Bertha sees action. Otherwise the Adams 3H is pretty automatic for 250 yards or so. Off the deck 200 or so out the 3 and 4 hybrids do the trick. Only using 11 clubs now and don't really see any problem with it. If I did add anything it might be a 3W to gain a bit of extra distance off the tee. Maybe add a 54* wedge at the bottom at some point.
Love that simple set up. Especially considering the distance you get off the tee.
