sdandrea1 Went out and hit a bucket o balls with the Pursuit blades in the Miyazaki shafts. Impressed with how EZ they are to launch. The blade length is longer than my Snake Eyes irons, but the sole width is significantly thinner. It is a larger face iron than the Snake Eyes. I found that choking down about 3/4" had me striking them pretty solid. They feel a little harsher than my Snake Eyes but our driving range is tight Bermuda on firm soil, where I our fairways are spongy soft zoysia. The Miyazakis are fine, but I'd say no better than the Acer shafts I have in the Snake Eyes. I must say, once out in the daylight, I do not like the color of the Miyazaki shafts.....I prefer black graphite iron shafts, believe it or not. As of now, I prefer the very buttery feel of the Snake Eyes irons, but I'll give the Pursuits a real go on Tuesday on course. Note: Pursuit heads are forged from 1035 Carbon steel, as opposed to 1025 in the Snake Eyes. I do not know how much that would affect feel.
Got 18 holes in today with my regular 4 some. Use the Pursuit blades. They are not as forgiving as the Snake Eyes off center, but they are just as easy to launch. I'd say feel is just not quite as buttery as the Snake Eyes, but they are made from a different carbon steel and have different shafts/grips, so.....
Most of my full shots today were with the 8, 9 and W and were solidly struck, high soft landing approaches. I teed off on a par 3 with the 7i and center struck it to about 4 feet and missed the birdie! My only other full shot with the 7i was my approach on #9 and I thinned it low but straight, short of the green. Chipped with the same club to about 6 inches and made par. My review is biased because my game is in the slot right now with my last 2 scores being 75 on my home course (67/133 P.B. Dye - The Gauntlet). Anyway - these are good solid heads!
