So I got my "slightly used" Mizuno MP-60's w/DG stiff shafts two days ago and played them for the first time today. One word... WOW! I love 'em. The feel is amazing.
I was playing Titleist DCI blacks with Reg flex for about ten years but just felt like I needed to get up to date with techology a bit.

Here's the only potential problem I see...
I was really precise with my DCI short irons (7-PW)on most days with a pretty straight ball flight. The longer irons were always more of a struggle with a fade tendency if I even made solid contact.

Here's the weird part... I am now producing a HEAVY draw with the MP-60 short irons (7-PW) and a straight ball to slight draw on the longer irons, but The MP-60's have STIFF SHAFTS... I don't get it. LOL Everything seems backwards according to what should've happened based on what I've read.

Anybody have any insight to this phenomena???

I do love the feel of these clubs, so they're not going ANYWHERE, but I figured I'd ask before I started tinkering with my swing that has been so good to me for so long.

Thoughts? .....

It could be that the regular flex required you to release your hand further to square up the club face, while the stiff flex reacts more to you turning your hands over, and so the club is slightly closed at impact.

In my experience, there's often a short adjustment period to any new irons when some weird things happen. I could be feel, it could be psychological, but it usually takes a few rounds with new irons for me to return to a "typical" ball flight. I'd give them a few more rounds before you try think about doing something different.

BTW--I've found my MP-60s to be the most accurate irons I've played to date. And you can't beat the feeling of a well struck shot.
