Is there any website that gives a rough gauge of what irons is most suitable for your handicap aside from mizuno?

Chk golf digest website

But pls take it as guideline only

I can b an example... High hcp and yet use mp series

Bro, maybe your hcp will go down if you use a game improvement iron? :p

Kidding kidding.

Can a P plate driver drives a maserati and a skilled driver drives a QQ? Both will still arrive.

dun think so much bro.. just go with what you like and feel.

dun let these 'numbers' affect your decision.

no doubt a game improvement club will be easier but it also depends on what you wan to achieve.

i've seen newbie swinging with muscle backs.

my 2 cents worth.

If you intent to change newer club in 1 year time, buy a super game improvement iron. Guarantee you will change next year if by then you are still into golf.

If you want to keep your iron for awhile (about 3 years or longer), buy a notch above what you can handle comfortably now.

totally agree! i have only been golfing for slightly more than 1.5yrs. and i'll into my third set of irons.

Ok thanks much. Then i guess i should be looking into the R11 Irons range? If i go by TM that is. Cuz right now im looking at Burner 2.0.. But the R11 face seems a but sharp at the toe.. Looks queer..

Any recommendations for 1 notch up from Burner 2.0? But i definitely do not want to get blades now. So anything btwn blades and Game improvement irons. Like the super game improvement irons that 2008 was talking about (any brand)

Take a look at the Maltby Playability Factor (MPF) ratings for comparisons

Ty dude

TourSwing. What does the MPF (maltby playability factor) account for? Higher the number the "better" lol. Im staring at the screen wondering..

p.s. I meant it as a question.

higher the MPF number ... more forgiven

Oh. I thought it was the MOI that determined the forgiveness. Oh well.

I caught myself looking for the "like" button here.. LOL! FB ruins lives.

MPF is for playability. How easy/difficult it is to hit/launch the ball. Not just forgiveness.

higher MPF = a combination of lower CG vertically, CG placed more towards the toe horizontally and higher MOI. not precise formula, but just to give rough idea.
