2 yrs ago I bought myself some mizuno irons 2nd hand MP60s and 3 new wedges. These were a vast improvement on my previous clubs and so I thought that was me sorted for at least 5 years. My game has been coming along nicely with a few sub 80 rounds this year.
Last day out I found a Donnay 420 Firefly SW thrown in a bunker at the 3 rd green so I put it in my bag to bring back to the club house. Out of interest I took one shot with it and was astounded at how easy it was to hit. I couldn't leave the damm thing down and looked forward to each and every tricky 50 - 80 yrd shot and nailed em all with this club. I was going to do a runner with it but left it in the club house for it's right ful owner who did not return for it so I now am the proud owner of this great club.
Trouble is I want more ... more .. more of them. But I can't even find a set on sale on ebay. I figure they are cheap clubs but I gotta try the PW of them and hopefully the whole set. Any one know any reputable sites or better still have you played with this or a similar club?
Thanks ... J

I think Bjorn Borg used Donnay clubs.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

This SW appears to have more bounce on it but as I have a relatively flat swing I would have thought the additional bounce would cause me to thin it with this club. As I don't give a rat's *** what kind of club I have in my bag or how much I paid for them I would love to get an other one or 2 of these clubs just to give them a go. one other thing that impressed me about it was the amount of spin it imparted on the ball and even short 40 yrders were pulling up nicely on the green. Far more so than I ever remember with my more expensive Mizunos.

    • 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.
