I stopped by the local pro shop today to check out their selection of irons. After hitting the Callaway X-22's and Ping S57's, he showed me a set of Mizuno MP-67's. My jaw hit the floor when I saw the price, so I had him tape up the 7 iron so I could demo them with the other two. I've heard a lot of good things about the MP-67's and was really impressed.

30 minutes later I walked out of the store after a custom fitting session for the MP-67's. I'm having the shafts lengthened an inch and regripping them with Lamkin Crossline Midsize grips. I also picked up a dozen Srixon Z-URC balls with a nifty free towel! The total? Under $500

I have a good, good friend in Houston I golf with once a year in Myrtle Beach. He absolutely swears by Mizuno clubs. I've hit his irons a few times (when I've wrestled them out of his tightly clenched hands) and am not a good enough golfer to know the differences keenely, but he absolutely loves his Mizuno irons.

Sounds like a great deal but more important, sounds like you're extremely happy about your purchase. I'm also guessing it would take 8 or 9 slaps directly to the face to wipe off that sh!t-eating grin from your face!!! You'll be the happiest golfer on the course for a few weeks, eh?? HAHAHAHA

Enjoy!!!

I couldn't believe it! I wasn't hitting the standard length very well, and after trying out the extended demo I was sold. I hit about 10 balls and all of the were as pure as Mother Teresa. I can't wait to pick them up and head to the range!

My scores this summer have been hovering around 41-43 and 83-86, it'd be nice to see some benefit from having a set of irons that actually fit me. My goal's this summer are to break 40 and to shoot an 80, hopefully this is money well spent.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
