Sparky I played a Wilson Duo Spin ball. Man, talk about a soft feel....that was too much.

Sparky - I did not realize that was you! Now that I look I see it was Sparky14.....duh. You are not the only member claiming harsh feel on the DBM, BTW.

Feel is so subjective and affected by sound too. I'm coming off of PING G400 irons that are "clicky" faced clubs. Combine that with soft tip graphite, senior flex shafts AND my Wilson Duo balls, the DBMs feel smooth and soft. RE: size. One of the things that attracted me to the G400 iron was the more compact design and thinner topline than the older G series (G10/15/20). My G400 irons look HUGE now, but when I hold them side-by-side with a DBM, the blade is about the same length - less offset and thinner topline tho.

    sdandrea1 good iron....they flew a tad too high for my liking, I had the standard finish....but they are about as easy to hit forged iron as there is....and super clean and good looking!

      Btw, thoughts on the dtg velvets.....looking to find a cheap OS velvet that is a true OS and I think dtg has one in the velvet....

        Feels like a GP Velvet Tour. I use these and Karma Velvets. The midsize feels like a midsize.

            Steve,
            Those look Sweet ! Love the classic look of them.

            sdandrea1 ok, now I need the comparison to the Karma😎, as that's another cost friendly grip I've used! Seems to me the cheaper grips wear and/or get slick more question ckly then say a crossline. Especially if they aren't cared for properly!

                I have used the Karma's more. This is my first set of DTG Velvets. The taper on the DTG midsize seems less uniform than the Karma, which has a more constant taper. The DTG tapers off steeper near the small end. I have a buddy here in FL that uses the Karma velvet exclusively and he says they wear well. I don't really care about longevity since they are $1.39 and easy to change.

                    DTG midsize has less taper. I like that.

                    pellmell OK then! I will just say the 737V / Nippon are much softer feeling than my DBM/Kinetixx and Mizuno JPZ EZ Forged / PX LZ sets. I can only imagine how soft those other forged blades must feel.

                      OMG!!! You just got a brand new set of Pings, if memory serves me correctly! Another attack of "ho fever?"
                      Seriously, those are sweet looking irons. I had a set of the original chrome plated ones several years ago, and
                      they were some of the best playing irons I ever had. But, I HAD to get something better, I guess.....
                      Do you have a different set for each day of the week??? :o)

                          fatshot

                          Still have my G400 PINGs. I've always wanted to build a set of black forgings. I had a lot of mediations this year so there was some extra play $. Pulled the trigger. Paying well over $200 for just heads is a lot for this cheap bastage. When I bought the new G400 I lost sleep! I have 4 sets of irons at this time. G400, Maltby DBM, Maltby MPC, Acer XV Pro.

                              KCee Nice! How are the XV Pros?

                              XV Pros are excellent. Mine are shafted in steel. Wanna buy them? 6 thru GW are XV PRO. 4, 5, and 6 are XV std. I'll sell them CHEAP!

                                Dang, just realized I have the following M+ wedges: 54, 56, 58, 60 ,62. Where the heck are my 50 and 52s?

                                sdandrea1 I don't really care about longevity since they are $1.39 and easy to change.

                                Plus you'll probably sell them in a couple of weeks anyways.
