I am a female golfer with a driver swing speed around 81 mph and a handicap of 10.  I currently have Mizuno MX 200 steel shaft irons in regular flex.  But I went to a club fitter recently and he suggested the JPX HD graphite irons.  So I took out a set in senior flex and absolutely loved the feel, the ball flight, distance, and consistency.  He said I was right on the border of getting senior or regular flex shafts and I don't know which to get.  I have a pretty smooth swing and he said the senior shaft might give me a little more whip to get more club head speed.

But I don't want to get these and find that they are too flexible in a year. I've been playing almost three years, so I'm hoping I will continue to improve.  And should I be put off because these are super game improvers? Is that a big deal at all?

Id recommend the JPX-800 HDs because of the higher launch and more forgiving design.  The MX-200s are great clubs but there for a more experienced, more skilled player and wont give you as high of a launch as the JPX-800 HDs will.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

The JPX 800HD is considered a SGI iron which is more of a beginner - intermediate club.     The JPX800HD also have a cast head versus the forged head in the MX 200.  Some people don't believe there's a difference but most people seem to prefer forged over cast.

At a 10 handicap I'd think the MX 200's are better suited for your game or you might even consider the JPX 800 Pro's or MP53's.  Mizuno's website states the JPX 800 Pro's are for a 4-20 handicapper and the MP 53's are for 0 - 14 where as the JPX 800HD's are targeted at 10 - 35 handicap.  The JPX 800HD is going to be more forgiving but if you're goal is to keep improving I'd think the JPX 800 Pro is a better long term option.  If you're not brand loyal to Mizuno you might also add the Titleist 710 / 712 AP2 to your list of options

The difference you saw and felt is likely in the shafts and I would suggest you try the 800 Pro's or MP 53's with a senior shaft or different regular shaft than you're using currently before you make a final decision.

Are you finding them too "whippy"?  You can always change out the shafts to something stiffer.

    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

    • Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course. 
    • 43 (6 over) Couple bogies, couple Pars, a birdie and no doubles. Not bad for first 9 of the year. 
    • Most the stuff I found on Instagram and just copy and mix it up. a few of my favorites: Clean>Squat>Press> March Around the body >catch >Squat> press I also hold a the kettle bell upside down with both hands on the handle. Squat when I stand back up I lift the kettlebell up over and behind my head and hold then repeat
