I am starting to look for a set of Mizuno MP 67s, maybe on ebay, but need to know what kind of shaft to get. Right now i play Titleist DCI 990s with Rifle FCM 6.0 shafts. They are pretty old, i am the 3rd or 4th owner and i dont know for sure if the shafts are for me but i hit them well but a little low...i have a history of a steep angle of attack with my irons that i have been flattening out a little more and dont hit the ball specially high, i would say i have a mid-low to mid ballflight with these irons. I seem to keep my handle pretty far in front of the ball at impact but still in a mechanically sound manner. I hit a slight draw for my stock shot too if that matters.

When i have hit at a launch monitor at Dicks, i have had a swing speed for my driver at about 100 and a swing speed of about 88-90 with a 6 iron. I have a somewhat quickly paced swing at times but i try to keep a little smoother of a tempo.

Just for more information i will also show you my iron distances.. These are the distances that i find i get when hitting them into the green, not specifically the carry distance.

3-210
4-200
5-190
6-180
7-170
8-160
9-150
PW-140

I know this is a lot to read and all, but i greatly appreciate any input...thanks!

thanks, i envy your handicap... i guess i am mostly wondering if DG S300s would fit since i can find set with these shafts much easier and cheaper on ebay.  From what i hear they might now cuz they go low but i dont have experience with them...i know i should get fitted but that costs money and i am cheap..haha thanks.

Go find a golf store with a Mizuno fitting cart and ask them to type you on the shaft analyzer. Only takes five minutes and will probably give you more substantive feedback than you'll find here. Also free if you act like you're really keen to purchase a new set of Mizzies.

      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.

      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.
