I have a set of MX 100s. They are extremely easy to hit. I don't hit them too much as I really hook the 4H and 5H unless I compensate. The irons of the set are just fine and launch the ball up nice and high. Not sure you are swallowing your pride here. You should be proud you seem to making the right decision for your game. Hitting crappy golf shots is no fun. It's really hard to hit a terrible shot with the MX 100s, you'll enjoy them I bet.
