I am so glad I did it. My birthday is this month, and I NEED new irons. I knew my set didnt fit me at all, but I didnt realize how bad it was. I am currently playing some Callaway X-18 Graphite regular shafts.... Im 6'3 and after playing with my club pro this morning he recommended his buddy who owns the local Edwin Watts. Tom, at Edwin Watts, did a great job and really went over every aspect of the fitting with me. I told him I wanted the Nike VR TW blades, but I guess Nike is no longer making those due to a new model coming in Feb 2011.

So, I went with my other favorite...Titleist 710 CB's. I am +3/4" length, 2* upright, X-Stiff DG Soft Step. Its amazing how easy I was hitting the ball once I had the right club in my hand. I was told my irons should be shipped to the store by Friday (which I was also impressed). After the "friends" discount and the Edwin Watts 10% birthday discount I ended up getting these for $727 after tax. Pretty nice IMO.

I am really, really pumped now because my country club's fall classic tournament is in two weeks, I am playing in the Winn Dixie Jacksonville Open Pro-Am at TPC Sawgrass on 10/20, and I have a trip planned to Pinehurst 11/2-11/5!!!! What a month in golf!

Congratulations! You'll be very satisfied with a set of Titleist irons. Best of luck in your future rounds and you'll hopefully get used to the CBs quickly.

Yeah buddy. That 10% is another reason I waited until my birthday to get my new irons. It ended up saving me some money in the long run.

I've just had a fitting with the new Mizuno DNA.....if you have a consistant swing i.e. tempo, speed etc then it's well worth a go! You might be quite suprised at the results!!

My fitter used about every fitting tool possible. I hit a few shots on a lie board, a few with impact tape on the face, the mizuno shaft optimizer, pings grip fitting chart. I cant wait till Friday. I guess nobody is ordering custom sets right now because they are already working on mine.

titleist is usually pretty fast on orders. when I ordered my ap2's back in april it took a week for them to reach my house after ordering them

Well guys, I got my irons today. FANTASTIC. I haven't had a chance to hit them yet lol. They are a little heavier than my X-18's, which had graphite shafts, but that was expected. Tonight I have a dinner at the TPC Sawgrass Marriott so I will not be able to hit them till my warm up tomorrow morning. I dont tee off til 1:30 on the Stadium Course, so I should have ample time to get a feel for them. The nice thing is that its a 4 man scramble, so I dont have to be perfect on every shot tomorrow. It will be a challenge learning my new yardages. Looking forward to several rounds in the 70's before the end of the year.
