    Thinking about going with 6-PW CBs and 3,4,5 AP2, does anyone have this setup or something similar? 

    AP2/AP1

    MB/CB 

    etc.

    I thought about going that direction and I talked to a few people who had already done it.  Some were happy and others didn't seem to notice a major difference.  After thinking more about it, I came to the conclusion I don't have the time needed to dedicate to golf and practice.  Therefore, I wouldn't benefit enough from the CBs and would be better off with just a straight set.  With that being said, if you're a low handicapper who can really take advantage of the work-ability of the CBs, then this might be a great option for you.

    My last 2 sets have been cb/mb combos. First I had 4-6 690 cb and 7-p in 690cb. I now have the 710 5-6 in cb and 7-p in mc with kbs tour shafts and I love them.

    Last summer I debated the same exact thing you are for awhile and then finally switched from playing straight AP2s the previous 2 sets to the same set you are talking about  with two exceptions: 1) I don't carry a 3 iron and have a 712u 2 iron instead to bridge the gap between my 3 wood and 4 iron (4 iron is bent 1.5 degrees strong, 5 iron .5 degrees strong) 2) I didn't order a PW and ordered a 46* vokey so I'd feel more confident with 1/2 and 3/4 shots with my PW.  I have really enjoyed having the CBs in the 6-9irons and don't have any problem going from a AP2 5 iron to a CB 6 iron.  They easily transition from one to the other and I don't find myself favoring one club over the other.  The ball flights are very similar (use S400s) in all the irons.  

    Things I like noticed having the CBs compared to my old AP2s: 1) the CBs are easier to hit out of thick rough when I compete in tournaments when the rough is grown up 2) they are a little easier to control the flight of the ball when needed 3) they look a little better to the eye, especially as you get a shorter club in your hand so this helps feel more confident 4) thin shots do go slightly less than the AP2s would but worth giving this up for the other positives

    But I do like having the slightly more forgiveness in my 4 and 5 iron and glad I kept those as AP2s.  I will probably get the same set-up with my next set unless I get that much better numbers from the MBs (then I'd consider a combo set with those and CBs since I have enjoyed this combo set so much).

    Hope that helps.

    It is a great idea. (no laughing now) I have an AP2 4 iron 5678 CB and 9 W MB. prolly dont need the MB's but it was in the set.

    If I had to do it again I would get an AP2 4 iron 5,6 CB and 7,8,9 and W in the MB's.  Funny more tour guys hit the MB's and the AP2's  than the CB's.

    Brent, I'm a plus handicap and went through a rigorous iron fitting. Not sure why, but the CB was a club behind in distance with a MUCH higher spin rate. For me, the AP2's and MB's were similar in performance. To be honest, the CB felt GREAT to me. But, as a 49 year old, my brain wanted max distance. AP2's for me Bro!...LOL
