Just fell in love today....

[wichitapenguin]

Sorry to bore everyone with my personal info but I just wanted to stand on the highest mountain(couldn't think of a higher mountain than The Sand Trap's Forum) and proclaim that I fell in love today. I traded my year old x-20's (could never tell or "feel" where I was hitting them) in for a "used set of m-67's with rifle 6.5 shafts. I have hit twice now at the range, the last time just a few minutes ago and I can't believe it, it was surrounding my target with my wedge and grooving most of my 3-irons. Just had to tell someone and since I really don't have any golfing buddies you all get to hear me ha!

Good for you!

I hope the honeymoon lasts!

Nuttin like new sticks at the beginning of the season. Enjoy!

I was amazed when I made the switch to my Mizuno MX-23s. I had hit a LOT of irons before, and had planned on getting some callaway irons. In fact I never even considered mizuno. However, after playing the mizunos, I don't know how I could ever hit something else that didn't have the same feel. I've always loved the look of Titleist irons and really like the AP2s, but if I get new clubs in the next year or so, I can't imagine getting anything but the MP-52s.

My next irons will have to be Mizunos as well. I just have to get the MX-200.

i just sold my x-20's as well and got myself a set of MP-52. I have demoed a few times and really loved the feel of Mizuno clubs. I got the Project X 5.5 shaft instead. Can't wait for them to arrive next week!!!

MP-67s are tough to hit. Great job on finding the love, may it continue to flourish.

Guy I'm playing with in a captain's choice tourney tomorrow just got a set of them.....sold his old set of X18 (tour model...pro series whichever it's called).

He's loving the Mizzy irons.....says the MX200 are the best he's ever had. Guy hits the ball a country mile, too. It's gonna be interesting to see him go after it with these.

LOL, pretty damn respectable for a 12 hc. I'm think'n that will be going down soon. LOL, ain't love grand.

Many times have have to laugh, (to myself), when I hear ppl say, "oh, those irons are just too hard to hit." Agreed they won't put up with the slop many players call a swing. They are like a high performance sports car or a really hot chick, they don't put up with crap. The other side to that is once you learn how to use them, (which would be a good solid swing & tempo), they are surgical and light years past what you had, well IMO. I have a old set of Wilson 78 Staff Tour blades 1-pw that have kicked my Mizzy's out of the bag. Its really amuzing to hear ppls comments when they see my bag, which many times is a 3 metal and irons 1-LW. Yes, they also don't put up with slop, but after you get used to working to a higher standard and tighter tolerances it will reflect greatly on your ball striking and hence your confidence. Confidence in your clubs is paramont in becoming a good player. Play well and love the game

Good choice!!! They are the best clubs i have ever hit!!

They aren't that difficult to hit either, i certainly do not have a problem using mine!! As far as i am concerned they are without doubt the sweetest irons i have ever hit!

Let us know how they work on the course!

[lumpuckeroo]

Congratulations, another convert!!!!

Never played the Mizuno"s but have heard nothing but love for them.Due to my Elbow problem do they come lefty and with Graphite shafts?

Ok i'm back, I just got done playing 36 in the last 3 days. These irons dial into the flags like nothing I have ever seen. I have doubled my GIR. Hit a 4 iron uphill into the wind 191 yds. to 5 feet. I can now just trust my swing and go for the greens, I cannot believe the difference from the x20's. My uneducated opinion for anyone asking if they are good enough to switch from game improvement irons to a "players" iron is farking go for it. Just go to the range and go with your swing and you will be amazed at what you can do. I am juiced to go back out tomorrow and go for the flag. I never had this feeling with the "other" clubs. I am not just speaking for Mizunos now either, I believe most average athletically talented golfers could play "players" irons and be very happy.

One more thing, I was playing the wrong shafts on my x20's also. The sales person who sold me them said that the uniflex would fit most all swings. I now know that was hogwash. I am now playing flighted rifle 6.5's and hit the freaking ball straight and smooth. If I hit a bad shot it is my fault not the clubs. What I am getting at is get fitted and if you have a good smooth swing get a stiff shaft and go for it.

This is for titushem. You are will be verrry happy with those clubs. Let me know how you do!

I feel like we have a bond, ha. Both going from x20's to mizzy's.

I also have a callaway 3w 15 degree, which is a good club for me.

Ahhhh, the driving range love affair. I've had many such relationships. They usually end up in divorce and the only thing I have to show for it is a lot of money spent.

[wichitapenguin]

deafheaven read post 9 and 12 please. Good luck on the course.

[deafheaven]

Ooops. My apologies. I only hope I am as fortunate with my latest purchases. I'm also jealous because I'm living up north and we're still a couple of weeks away from the courses being opened.

That's interesting...I joined this forum to talk information on new irons and was looking at the x-20s...I am very partial to Callaway, but I am open-minded. I have a set of VFT irons from 2002 and am starting to hook them a lot. I have to open the face and press my hands forward to cut a ball. I'm wondering if it's the offset. Any thoughts anyone?

[wichitapenguin]

yes the x20's are offset and very clunky in my opinion. If you like the callaway product look at the tours.

[titushem]

I am glad the irons are perfect for you!!! I am so pissed that UPS messed up the shipping and now they won't be here until this Friday!!! ahhhh talk about the longest 2 weeks in my life... I will definitely take them out once i get them, and hopefully my results will be as good as yours!!
