Hi I've only been playing golf for about 8 months now and am currently shooting in the mid to high 90's. I'm using an old set of Wilson ultra mbt's I bought for £50 and I'm looking at buying some new ones. Just wondered if anyone out there can offer some advice I've been looking at some Mizuno mx200's or Taylor made burners! Thanks :-D

My last set were Burner 1.0's. Good clubs, strong lofts and longer, light shafts for distance, which they definitely provide. Mizuno irons are recognized as a top brand, and the 200's would be no exception. Don't believe they'd be as long as the Burners - weaker lofts, shorter shafts I believe. Depends what you are looking for.

In my Sun Mountain 14 Way Stand Bag:

Driver - Ping G30 10.5* : Fairway - Ping G30 18* : Hybrids - Titleist 915H 21* & 915 H 24* : Irons - Mizuno JPX 850 Forged 5 - GW : Wedges, Vokey 54.14, Vokey 58.12 : Putter - Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 or Ping Craz-E-R  : Ball - Bridgestone B330RX, Cart - Cliqgear 3.5

I don't know the history of your clubs good or bad are you hitting the ball well? when you feel as if your swing is worth an investment in new clubs then you should buy. The equipment today is great  the investment in your swing is more important.. Take some lessons. You might want to look at used equipment first there are many great deals at local clubs and on line. I have a great set of slightly used AP1's if you are interested. LOL.

I don't know the history of my clubs either lol so they must be old can't find a review anywhere lol. My swing is good most of the time :-D. I'm looking at used most def as I'm on a budget 2 young children have sorted that. I'd love your AP1's but think they'd be out my price range I'm also a lefty. Maybe I'll hang fire andspend the money on lessons instead

Lots of Mizuno love on this forum. Influenced my decisions and now I am a Mizuno lover too.

Best thing yu can do is make sure whatever clubs you buy fit your body for lie and length. Any clubs that fit are better than great clubs that do not fit. With clubs that fit your body, your correct swings will generate good results. With clubs that do not fit, you will learn swing faults in order to try and make the ball fly straight. GET CLUBS THAT FIT. Mizuno irons can often be bent to make the lie fit you. Buy used or late models like the MX200's and make sure they fit.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind.
