Being new to the forum I just wanted to say hi to everyone. A little about myself. I am 59, Playing golf for 12 years. 18 handicap. I have worked in the golf industry for the past 8 years as a club fitter for the PGA Superstore in Natick MA and presently Golf Galaxy in Framingham MA. I also work at Berlin Country Club as a Club House Attendant and Bartender. I have worked at Juniper Hills in Northborough MA and Shaker Hills in Harvard MA. I use Ping G425 irons. Titleist TSR 2 Driver with a Graphite Designs UB 5 shaft. And a Ping PLD Anser Putter. For balls I use Chrome soft Truvis and Titleist Pro v's. Depends on the course I play at. My golf bag is a Sun Mountain 2.5 best bag ever IMHO. I walked 90 percent of the time. I fell in love with the game 12 years ago. Retired from a 30 year security career and went into golf.  Best move I ever made.  And I am a musician in a cover band that plays out monthly. Looking forward to chatting with folks here. I will leave you my favorite saying. "Bass, Golf and Tito's! Life is good."

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
