Hi again,

My advice, buy the MX-200's. Ignore the blue if you need to (I like it, myself) or take it off like others have. Stick with the MX series, don't let the lower handicap players get you into a set of irons that don't match your playing habits. I have playing habits like yours. I'm considering at the MX-100, MX-200, Ping G-10 and Callaway X-22's. I've hit all of them and some others, these are the ones that made my short list. If you have yet to break 100, then buying the MX-200 (vs the MX-100) would be purchasing a higher level of club that'll allow you to progress. Basically, you wouldn't need more "players' irons until you took 20 strokes off your average score!

What's in my bag?

I totally agree with this. I don't know about the 57s but they really don't look much different than the 60s. I know that I am being punished right now and my worst days are 90 and my best are high 70s. You will be aware of your issues with a GI iron and the offset will be good and help you square the club face. My handicap has went up from an 8 to 9.7 in three revisions pretty much because of poor iron play. I am not saying it is just a change in my irons, but I do not know why you would put yourself through this if you aren't breaking 90.

    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
