I know that a good fitting is in order for these. I had my Mizuno's fitted for me, they didn't play right until I got that done. I went into my golfsmith and they gave me some bit about not being able to adjust the x-14's for me (which I think is a bit of a line, but whatever). I just haven't been impressed with them (the clubs or my local Golfsmith for that matter).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the X-14's are cast right? From what I have been told by all the golf store's I've asked is that Cast can't be adjusted once set.

So its right then, that I couldn't have had them adjusted even if I wanted to? It was that news that really started me out on this search for new sticks in the first place.

They can be bent by any clubmaker cast or not. I had all my X-14 irons bent 1* flat after I bought them, by a respectable clubmaker of course.

I would keep your eyes open on ebay. I have the mp60s and got them for 400 new. This was just when they were discontinued but would fit into the minimal offset catagory. Highly recommend and I bet you could get a good deal.

I got my ap1's today and went out and played a few holes. I found I was able to work the ball with them fairly well (hit a great draw around some trees with a 7i). I wasn't struggling with the terrible hooks either. Very happy with these!

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
