Titleist 755s!!

I went and hit a slew of clubs yesterday and these were absolutely tits compared to the other cavity back / game improvement irons I tried. Golfsmith had them new for 499 on sale, but I found a set with the plastic wrap on the 3 / 4 / 5 iron for $360.00. Apparently a demo set.

When you consider I've been playing DCI-B's for the last 5 months, you'd understand why I'm so ecstatic.

maybe he had that set and then got another set so now he doesnt use the 755's anymore, thus they are a "back-up set"

No. That would make too much sense.

Your over assuming my friend, has nothing to do with my handicap or swing so tone down the snobbery please. I keep a full spare set, usually for friends out of town, sometomes my room mate using them and I have begun teaching my fiance to play as well..... or when I use them when I go on vacation...right now they are at my parents home in the OC so if I decide to play while visitng them I have a set. It's not uncommon for golfers to have more than enough equipment. Don't be so judgmental.

Well, I did hit a few Mizunos. Man those things are freakin' awesome with rifle shafts on em. Too bad they want like 800 dollars for just about every one of their sets.

And I thought Titleist swag was overpriced.

Titleist 755s!!

Congrats on the new sticks, last week I was deciding between those (755's) and the new ZB's and I went with the ZB's because my ball striking is one of the strengths to my game.

But again, congrats on the great sticks.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

It's okay to have a backup set, but I believe it best to stick with one set you really trust, that is if you really want to be a consistent player, especially in tournaments. Notice how some tour pros play dated clubs (Tim Herron plays ping eye2s, justin rose still has the original r7...). In a pressure situation it is easier to look down at a familiar club that you know you have hit a lot of good shots with.

The mizunos with flighted rifle are unbelievable. Much nicer feel than any iron have hit. The only reason I'd drop the mp-30s would be to go to blades.

Yah, there wasn't quite a more buttery soft club in all the irons I hit. I had the Mizuno MX-25 3 iron out and I was just flushing the ball almost every time. Felt awesome.

I will say though, that the forged Titleists (755 and even 690 CB's, etc) all felt pretty good too. I believe the 775 is forged stainless where the Mizunos are forged carbon steel.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
