Spring has finally arrived for me! After a long winter without any golf, I finally got in 27 holes this weekend. The motivation for this early and cold round was a set of beautiful new Nike irons that have been staring at me for about 3 weeks.

I initially started swinging them in the house waiting for the day when I could finally try them out and see for myself if they were as fantastic as they looked.

Speak the name Miura, and many are struck by visions of artistically ground billets of mild steel and the buttery soft feeling of a well struck long iron.

When Mizuno released information about the MP-57s, my jaw dropped. Limited off-set, Increased forgiveness, but at the same time a playable sole and the potential for that same buttery soft Mizuno feel. They haven’t disappointed.
Today we are looking at the new TaylorMade R7 CGB MAX Irons. These are not to be confused with the r7 CGB Max irons…oh wait, I guess they are pretty easy to confuse…name wise at least. A mere glance at the club will reveal numerous differences between the 2006 model and the 2008 […]
