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!

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
