Hey guys, I got a job in Korea and will be moving there at the end of this year... Golf equipments in Korea is really over priced and I'm looking to change my golf clubs. I usually shoot around low to mid 90s and about 140 yards with my x - 24 7 iron.. My game has improved over the summer and i finally broke 90 2 month ago... I love my x -24 but I just want more feedback from my club... also want something less forgiving. I got a natural mini fade swing. I haven't hit any of these clubs other than MP 53s old version MP 52.. It felt great. I'm leaning towards MP 53 or X forged (this is $500 at Amazon =) ) but price isn't a big factor... I'll be going to golf shops around Blacksburg/Roanoke (VA) area to test clubs. Also one more thing.. should i get club fitting for these sets??? I'm really comfortable with my x-24s shaft length and I know Mp53s are quarter inch shorter than my x-24s but shouldn't be a problem...
which one would you buy? I would love to get some replies from owners of these clubs.. thanks guys!

well if you are looking for a club with more feedback and that has less forgiveness that X-24's, i would recomemend AP2's. More of a players iron, but still has SOME forgiveness.....i personally switched from MP30's to AP2's a few months back, love the AP2's! ball just seems to fly perfect for me.

Keep it where the mowers go!

..... but I never understand what people mean ...... if they say they want less forgiviness ....... I prefer all the forgiviness I can get, in a club that still allows me to work the ball........

go to a golf shop, hit em all with a pro and get fitted for the ones that best suit you, especially if price is not a big factor for you.

Personally I'm a Mizuno fan, but I'd suggest getting the set that you hit the best, feels the best to you and s/u the best your eye.

Hey, go to a Mizuno fitter if price isn't much of an issue. They can fit you for length and lie easily then put you on a launch monitor to see which shafts will fit you well. They'll like pick out a few shafts and then have you hit them to see how they feel to you. They also pick out a few of their heads for you to hit with the shaft that you like. After all is said and done you will have new found confidence in your clubs.

I would get the x-24's....oh wait

That does seem like the obvious answer doesn't it? Dude could pick up a vintage set of Hogan Apex (or something like that - you know what I mean) and hang onto those X-24s. That's what I'd do, but what the H do I know?

      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.
