I've had the same clubs for 10+ years and am looking for a game improvement club to help me break into the 80's regularly. I hit in the 90's now and rarely break 90. Anyway I was looking at x-22's, '09 burners, miz mx 200, nike victory red full cav.... but for the price these look like a killer price compared to what I'll spend on these other clubs:

What do you guys think? First off is it a good deal? Secondly do you think these will accomplish my mission to get a decent club at a cheap price and improve my game? Thanks

If you're looking to improve your game, equipment isn't where you need to look. Unless you're playing old blades, no iron is going to help you drop your scores. I was playing irons for a while that were 22 years old, and they worked just fine. Had they been able to be bent to my lie angle, I'd still have them.

Good deal? I would have to say yes. Will those improve your game? Doubt it. They aren't in great condition either so they won't last that long. How 'bout these?

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

I love the MX-200s, but hard to pass up the Nikes at that price. My friend got a set and they're good sticks. Whether it makes you better or not there's nothing wrong with a new set of clubs every 10 years.

I've been playing with ooooold Nicklaus Air Bears. I hit some new clubs yesterday and couldn't believe the larger sweet spot and control I was getting. So I actually think the new technology in clubs these days will help my game.

I really love the mx200s and had them on my short list. I couldn't pass up the price on the sumos though. I picked up "MINT" sumos from global golf for $250 which they said look brand new. Free shipping too. I figured it was worth it to pay a little extra for MINT clubs. You don't think I'd post a link to the clubs I actually wanted to buy and risk someone snatching them up do you? :)

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
