KZG's were the best, most solid, easiest to hit by me. I first hit the mx 300, 200 and mx 20 at Big Oak in Rochester NY, it is a pro shop?range, great place! I liked the Mx200 and mx 20's best. I then went to a fitter and had the KZG evolutions, Wishon 560's KZG forged 2's fit. Went to Golfers Edge in Rochester same day. (once lie angle was set upright I was hitting the clubs on the sweet spot.) All clubs stiff shaft.

I then brought them (Wishon 560 6i, KZG Evolution 6i and 8i, Mx20 6i, 8i, the Mx 200 6i, right after being fitted to BIG Oak pro shop/range and hit them. The results were: KZG Evolution was the best. I hit a huge bucket or more of balls. I would hit a club until I got in a groove with that club and hit 3-6 in a row well then go to the next club and then back and forth agian and again. RESULTS: I could hit the KZG Evos the best by far. I could hit the first or second ball great and then hit 3 or 4 in a rown the same place, boom boom boom I would then try another club and it would take me a few to get in a groove and I could never get the groove going like with the KZG evo's. Next best...Wishon 560 but I hit the Mx20 almost as well as the 560, and the mx20 wasn't fitted to me as it was a borrowed club. I liked the mx200 and then mx300 last in that order. I couldnt hit then nearly as well and never hit that real solid hit I was looking for that I had in the KZG.
Finish and feel? KZG was by far the best. Apparently these are foged in Japan at same plant as Mizuno's but are hand ground and finshed. It really showed! They felt like they had been hand finished for days. Anyone could see they were far superior in finish. I had the satin finish and the club heads in your hands were obviously the nicest feeling and looking, I can't emphasize how nice they were. My girlfriend and a couple non-golfers noticed the difference easily, they were that nice. I had the satin finish. The Wishon on the other hand, had milling marks and sharpish edges, It looked sort of crude but high quality at the same time. The Mx 20's looked better than the Wishon even though it was a 4 year old club, and the mx200 finished last as it looked like a cast cavity back in comparison. I was suprised by this. Now the problem, KZG evolutions $125/club, Wishon 560 $90/club, Mx20's or mx 25's $200-$450 a set on secondary market, mx 200's $500-$699 new. I really wanted to like the Wishon's best due to price or the Mx 200s as they were easier to get and way cheaper but the results I had were obvious to me. I hit mid 80's to high 90's with most problems off tee, (for refernce). I'm going to hit them all again as I have them at home and will post pictures too if anyone wants. Anyone have some KZG heads out there for sale? helloooo?

Which shafts did each club have?

I have always believed that if two clubs have the same loft and lie angle, the shaft will be the determining factor.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

Precision stiff for the Wishon and KZG stiff, the mizuno mx 20 has dynalite gold with sensicore (feels great) Mx 200 had standard issue stiff whatever.

UPDATE, I ended up getting a used set of MP52's on bayarama for $425 used. I took them to range 2xs and played 9 today. I love them. I messed around and wanted to get KZG's but too expensive up here and too much trouble finding anyone to build them.... Maybe my next ones will be KZG but I really like these Miz 52's. They are solid and easy to hit. 3 and 4 arn't bad either. I hit a 5 iron 195 stiff. If you put a decent swing on them they just go where you were thinking and will supprise you how well you start to aim. Really fun. I almost also got the MX300's but I was hitting these better. Don't know why...

I KZG's were awsome and I wonder how a full set of those would have been but I'm not dissapointed for the cake I spent. They really feel great.

    • I guess someone decided to do more work for little benefit then.  I might be the lucky one then. I have a +3 and a +1 on my counted scores. 
    • I've only seen one positive PCC since it began, a +3 during a tournament on a tough, firm course with the wind blowing at least 30 mph. A scratch golfer got so frustrated he pulled out after 9. Sadly, the +3 did nothing for me as I was a good 10-12 strokes above the score counting. Currently 3 of my last 7 scores have a negative PCC. Of course, all 3 of those are in my best eight. I'm puzzled, as the wind was blowing pretty good on at least two of those rounds.  
    • It changed to the best 8 of the last 20, in the 2020 changes.  When I attended a Handicapping Workshop in 2020, we were told that they anticipated that the PCC would apply in about 10% of the rounds.  That's about what I see now, maybe slightly more often since the algorithm was tweaked not long ago.  And remember, the PCC will adjust MOST of the scores on a given day towards the mean.  With a positive PCC (more high scores), most players scores wouldn't be in the best 8/20 even with the PCC, so the impact is nothing, although the few players who had a good day will see the impact on their HI increased.   I believe it will be very rare that a player has even two scores in their best 8 with any kind of PCC.  
    • There was a PCC of +3 at Talamore the day I played in Pinehurst! Somehow that course was killing us all, lol.  If it is still the best 10 out of 20, So, it would amount to .1. It matters more if you end up with like 5 out of 10 of your counted differentials having PCC. That could equal a full stroke.  Yea, I think it will influence handicaps like 0 to let's say 2 for handicaps. 
    • I posted as well, I hope most of us did.  I'm still not sure the PCC system makes a significant difference, but it certainly won't work as intended if golfers don't post on the day of play.
