I appreciate the info guys. I've been seeing brand new sets of the MX-19's going on ebay for around $150-170 brand new for leftys! So I think I'm going to go with these. Now the shafts available from Proshop Warehouse's eBay page are Dynalite Gold SL S300. Any thoughts on these?

Good choice on irons and the Dynalite Gold SL shafts are good. Not sure the S300 is best choice for flex, though, as that's a stiff flex shaft. In the Dynalite you would probably be better off with a R300 (regular flex). However, I do not know your swing so I can't make this judgement. If you can go somewhere and have swing speed checked and recommendation on shaft before purchase it might be a good idea. Most places will charge for this (especially if you are not purchasing from there), but it might help you make the correct purchase so that you are not unhappy with new irons.

Good advice. It's better to have a shaft too flexible as too stiff. I've played too stiff shafts in most of the irons I've owned. I've also traded irons a lot, so what does that tell you? If you can't get your clubhead speed measured, one rough rule of thumb would be if you could tell us what iron you hit from say, 150 yards. It's not very scientific but it could help get you in the ball park.

Thanks for your input. I thought about trying to get the Regular flex shafts. I have regular flex graphites right now and i hate them but im assuming regular flex steel is different in so many ways. I'll go to Edwin Watts or Golf Galaxy and check my swing speed and get back to you.

      Water in Bunker

      By billchao ·

      We’re discussing rules. By definition, it’s going to involve semantics. You hit your ball in a bunker, which under normal conditions, you’d have a bunker lie. If you declare your ball unplayable, you would be allowed to drop outside of the bunker for two penalty strokes. You happened to hit it under water in said bunker due to ACC. Because of the ACC, your relief option outside of the bunker could be taken for only one penalty shot. Again, the stroke is added because you would have changed your lie from from a bunker to the general area. And I would make the same argument, but again, that’s on the committee for not doing their job and marking it as GUR and not at the discretion of each individual golfer. At this point all I can gather is that you don’t like the particular situation you found yourself in, but shit happens. We’ve all been there one way or another.

      Water in Bunker

      By DaveP043 ·

      Here's the thing, the Rules are fine here, the problem is at the local Committee (or lack of Committee) level.  The basic Rule is appropriate for most Temporary Water in a Bunker situations.  Indeed, it offers a bit more flexibility than the Rule for Temporary Water in the General Area offers, in that you're allowed to find the Point of Maximum Available Relief, instead of requiring Complete Relief.  And for more unusual circumstances, the Rules offer an alternative in for form of a Model Local Rule.  They don't want every single player to have the authority to claim "I have no possible relief in this bunker, I'll just take it out for free", they want that authority to be at a higher level. I speak only for myself, but the more I learn about the Rules, the more I respect the way they've been put together, and the consistency of concepts throughout.  Its easy to single out one rule in isolation that you dislike, but when you see how the rules fit together as a whole things often make a lot more sense.  No doubt, Rules should be reviewed and improved, really smart people are continually doing just that, looking for cracks and loopholes.  But the changes that actually happen are really tested to see if they actually improve things, change for the sake of change just isn't going to happen.

      Are you on the app or on the website? On the website, if you go to the performance tab, you can navigate with the side menu to see more detailed information. On those pages, you can switch between strokes gained and standard stats. You can see things like strokes gained from 50-100, 100-150, etc., strokes gained on lengths of putts. You can switch to standard information and see make rates on putt lengths. There's a good amount there to shape your practice. I don't use the app for this, so I can't help with that.

      Temporary grandstands are in the general area though, a bunker is not so your relief options are different.  I don't really understand what is so difficult about this.  You should be more upset with whoever organizes/runs your league for not implementing GUR, not the rule itself. Especially since this is a league and if it's at the same course every time it's likely that this isn't the first time the bunker has filled up completely with water.
