Benefits of Newer Technology

For anyone who has put off updating your equipment...

Have been playing fitted Titleist DCI 762s since 2003. Have been thinking of getting new irons for 5+ years now, but kept putting off because felt my swing "wasn't consistent enough".   Finally decided to pull the trigger in June and got fitted for a new set - ended up with Mizuno 919 Forged.  My game all of a sudden jumped a level in the enjoyment category. My misses tend to creep to the toe and were a club short and right (I'm a righty) so I would be pitching.   Now my misses are still short and right, but I'm nGIR - on-fringe puttable or just-off chip and run. Scoring a birdie or 2 a round now, something I haven't managed in a long time.

My scoring hasn't improved, but that's due to a balky driver at the moment. Can't wait for see what happens when it behaves.

So I'm attributing this to my misses being much less penal with the new clubs, and as a testament to LSW doctrine of nGIR importance.

So, my advice, don't wait another minute, put those dinosaurs in the basement and get fitted for new stuff.  Its always fun to get something new and your game will be a lot more enjoyable!

Better accuracy, more consistent strike is what you’ll get now.  Clubs with a shorter shaft ( accuracy ) are now coving distances 10-20 yards further.  Instead iPod missing the green with a 4 iron, you hit it with a 6 iron.... all good.

I went on vacation and played better with a rental set of new game improvement irons than I do with my own clubs.
