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

My brother in law just got his in also. He LOVES them. He was hitting Callaway X16s... so they are a big step up for him.

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
