Mizuno MP-60 w/Rifle (Flighted) Shafts
They "feel" like I'm swinging irons with a graphite shaft, BUT, the steel, rifle shaft keeps the heads of the irons from any radial rotation that occurs with graphite - especially if you "catch" the ball slightly off-center, or near the toe.
These irons are VERY forgiving, although not quite as long as my previous irons, they have a good mid-to-high flight pattern, and are "sweet" to hit.
I had brand-new grips put on them as soon as I received them, although the grips that came, "with" the clubs were ok - I prefer an oversized grip.
Now I feel confident about "going for the green" from any yardage out to slightly over 205 yards, without using a hybrid. Better control, (over direction and flight-distance) and just a pleasure to use.
The "muscle-back" style of the irons with perimeter weighting, and slightly softer steel gives good "feel" and very good forgiveness. In addition, should I wish to have the lofts' of the irons adjusted slightly, these irons are less difficult to have "bent" to the loft I desire. (As would be the same case if a person wished to adjust the "lie" to compensate for being taller, or shorter.)
I highly recommend them, and all of Mizuno's equipment.

Great with a Caveat
Likes - it's a great way to locate addresses quickly, even when you know the general area, frequently it'll save time.
Issues - Since roads are constantly being built to new areas, and development is an ongoing occurance, the most-recent version of the mapping needs to be "in" the unit, otherwise you'll looking for an address that the unit doesn't recognize.
Dislikes - Since I'm an appraiser, I have to find, view and photograph real properties in all situations - when I'm in rural areas, the limited options of the unit indicate as a selection of "routes" either fastest or off-road as being enabled to get "to" the property. The fastest has routed me through or I should say, "to" closed-off roads, dirt-roads, and in general has some very specific limitations in that nature. It would be BEST to Garmin to add an option that "routes via more-established roadways. The current routing can actually end up taking you miles out of your way in certain circumstances which it did to me recently. (Cost me 1 1/2 hours of time before I gave-up and drove into the nearest town to obtain direction/s.)
