I got a set of old Wilson 1200 LT's from the early to mid 80's and I found a great deal on a set of MP-57's. Are the MP-57's harder to hit that the Wilsons or are they about the same? I dont have much trouble hitting the Wilsons but I do have miss hits. Should I get the Mizunos?

The only way for YOU to know is for YOU to go out and hit them.

Here's a Sandtrap review: http://thesandtrap.com/clubs/mizuno_mp-57_irons_review

You won't get hurt financially getting a good deal on these. If you don't like them you could easily resell them.

The set I found is for $250. Is that about what these normally go for?

If you feel comfortable with your 20+ year old set, then keep them. Clubs have evolved over time so you may see a significant improvement with playability and forgiveness with current sets. I'd at least go out to your local golf course when they have their club demo days and try a few sets just to get a feel for what's out there now.

A set of Mizuno MP-57 (3-PW) for $250 is a great deal. The lowest price I've seen a used RH set go for is around $350. And yes, Mizunos are great irons but that's a matter of personal preference. You'll need to decide whether the MX or the MP series irons are better suited to your game.

I guess it would be like comparing a Ford Pinto with a Lexus ES 450. The Mizunos would be a great buy just for the investment purpose.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      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.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      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.
