I bought new irons a while back. AP2 irons replaced my MX-25 irons. I am extremely happy with the change.

Hi all. I'm new to the forum and thought I'd share some experience. I picked up my new AP2's yesterday. 1/4" longer, standard li, Project X flighted 5.5. I tried several models, x20 tours, TM, Mizuno, Cleveland, etc. I had my heart set on Mizunos because I used to play T-zoid Pros but the MP57's were a bit more harsh than the AP2's. The more I demoed them the more I fell in love with them. It took 4 weeks to get them but it was worth the wait. PLayed them in my league last night, for the first time, and was even more impressed. I hit some incredible shots and was absolutely floored with the playability and forgiveness, even in the long irons. I can't say enough about them so if you have an opportunity to demo, don't hesitate.

I would Try 3 different sets and go from there.

It would either be the MP 33's, MP 67's, and the new Titleist Blades. Which ever one that I like better than the MP 32's that I have would be what I got.

I'm happy with my titleist 735.cm clubs that I have now, but, If I won the lottery, I'd go a buy either the Nike Forged Blades or TaylorMade MB Rac irons or even the mizuno MP-67.

I have a theory that if you get to a certain level and you can't evolve more, just change from cb's to mb's (or get new mb's). You will have to control the golf shot and swing a lot more so that you miss less. That way, you will improve your scoring, hit more greens and have more control over raw power.

In my bag:

Titleist 905 Aldila VS Proto| TaylorMade r9 stiff shaft| Titleist 906F Aldila NV 75-S Fairway| Titleist ZM S300 (3-PW) |Titleist 54º SM TT Wedge Flex| Titleist 60º SM TT Wedge Flex| Scotty Cameron Newport 2

    • Just because it's a small league at a county course doesn't mean their couldn't be a small group of people who take on the role/responsibility of ensuring the rules are properly enforced and being the rules committee for your league   That's the whole point of GUR. It's a temporary thing. Also like I mentioned before, since you're playing on the same course it's highly likely this isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened to a bunker on this course.   There's nothing that needs changed though. There is the rule for how the situation is supposed to be handled as well as an alternative for how it could have been handled differently via a committee. Just because your league chooses not to have a committee doesn't mean the rules of golf need changed for everyone.   Absurd logic. You and your opponent can't just agree on rules and make things up as you go. If it's just a 1v1 match for fun, sure do whatever you want. In an actual league with other competitors, no shot. Everyone needs to play by the same rules. How would you feel if someone else in the league took a casual drop on a different hole and their playing partner agreed with it but you didn't agree with it and you found out about it later?
    • I suggest you actually read some of the Rules, either online or on the USGA (or R&A) phone app.  Here's the Definition of Committee: You have a small league, whoever is in charge of that league is the Committee.  This would be the same person (group) who might decide that you should play Lift Clean and Place (Modal Local Rule E-3), to institute the "leaf rule", (MLR F-14), or that you should move a ball out of aerification holes (MLR E-4).  
    • Website. And yeah I was asking about the specifics within those sections under the performance tab. I guess the strokes gained by distance like you noted is probably a good place to start. This would indicate that my wedges need practice, which I figured as much so I'm not surprised by that   Some of the other ones specifically around the short game I struggle to make sense of what it actually means. Like I know this chart is measuring the percentage of the time that I get the ball within certain proximity ranges but I don't know from a quick glance at this where I need to improve.   But then again I guess these two would seem to indicate that it's chipping inside 25yds from the rough that has the most room for improvement? Does it seem like I'm interpreting that right?
    • What is this committee I keep hearing about? We’re a small league playing at a county course. And these are temporary issues that may be gone in a day or two. In any case, I wish more people agreed with me. It seems that trying to convince golfers to modernize rules is like trying to change the Bible. The safeguard is that you have to check with your  opponent to make sure he agrees with the drop, why should you need a committee for that?
