Lean, Mean, Hitting Machine

I'm getting tired of the offset in my burner irons not allowing me to consistently fade the ball as much as I would like. I feel as though I have to open up the face way to much from the start. Therefore, I am pondering trading them in somewhere and getting an new set of enhancement irons with less offset. I have read some reviews stating that the older Mizuno MP-57 actually has a little bit better feel than the newer 58 model. I also read a bunch of comparisons that stated that the MP-57 felt better than the Titleist AP2. Can those of you who have hit those 2 irons give me your opinions. I'm positive I am either going to go with Mizuno or Titleist, but I'm not sure which one yet. Also, my 07 Burner Fairway wood ball flight is way to high, so I have been thinking about buying an R9 TP 3 wood to get that ball flight down with a better shaft. Let me know you guys' advice. Thanks!

In my Grom:
R9 460 Aldila RE-AX 60g Stiff
07' Burner 3 Wood Stiff
09' Rescue 2 and 4 Stiff
09' Burner 3-PW Superfast 85 Stiff 09' Vokey Spin Milled Black Nickel and Oil Can Wedges 50,54,60SeeMore Putter Pro V1 2.0 SG 2.5

How a club feels is in the forging and the shaft... no one can tell how you might like something. All I know is my Mizunos are great feeling to me. I tried to hit the burners and gave up on the feel and the low ball flight -- distance control was difficult the few times I tried the burners. They are very strong lofted. My Mizunos are very predictable.

yea its best bro to go demo them. My local golf shop will even let you take demo to the driving range from their store if you ask nicely.

Is there a reason you are only going with Titleist or Mizuno? I would suggest you not limit yourself like that. Go hit everything under the sun!

get it in stiff normal shaft instead of Regular TP shaft you will get similar results and save yourself heaps of money

I recently hit the Mizuno MP58 and came away VERY impressed. Great look from address, simply wonderful feel. I also highly reccommend the R9 fairway wood. For me, this is a want right now, but damn-near a need.

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
