Recieved my new irons(Mp-52 3i-PW DG S300) a few weeks ago and couldnt be more pleased. After a few secessions at the range I have to say they feel great, still working on consistancy due to them being a half inch longer and 2* upright. I have played 4 rounds with them so far, and the long irons are a joy to hit, all irons are dead straight were you aim. A better review to come once I get more accustomed and some more rounds under my belt with these.

great to hear you like them... I'm thinking about adding the 3,4, and 5 irons to my bag, just for the extra forgiveness and higher launch in the longer irons.

Cheers, Allan

@ PXC Yeah I previously played a box set of Top Flites, so this is my first real set of irons, so I dont even want to start to try and compare the two(apples and oranges).
@ Cylone98, yeah I had them fitted to my swing
@ Kurtomatic, yeah I'm in the Marines, living on Foster, just let me know when you want to go out. I'm going to try and go this Sunday or Monday.

Isn't golf notoriously expensive in Japan?

Cool the wife just got a job at Community Bank on Camp Foster starts Monday...what courses do you play? Taiyo is frickin hard and I lose a lot of balls as I'm not willing to chase into the woods after them with the Habu snake signs everywhere... Fairways aren't very forgiving there I'm sure you know what I mean... Not sure if you noticed how hard the greens are there either... I have a helluva time stopping balls on the green without rolling them up... I'm sure once the course ages a little it will soften up as it's pretty new...Banyan tree course is a little more forgiving and is in pretty good shape... Works been busy so I havnt gotten to play in nearly 4 weeks:( what do you do at foster? Pm me your number and we'll get together and play...I havn't tracked my scoring since arriving here and I'm sure my handicap has gone way up as my scores arent nearly the same with not playing often and no practice...once I get checked out at work I'll be playing more as my days off will stagger and I'd much rather play during the week rather than the weekend maddness here at the course

No not bad for us...the courses I play are military owned are are both under 30 bux with cart for 18 even on weekends depending on your rank...higher rank=more you pay....Taiyo a course off base owned by the Marines cost me like 27 dollars and I saw the rates the locals pay like 8000 yen ie ~$90

damn i was born on Kadena... went to elementary school before dad got stationed on bragg (NC)

cool I have some friends stationed at Bragg and I just PSCed here a couple months ago from Seymour Johnson AFB just down the road from you in NC

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
