After work I went to Roger Dunn Golf and hit the Titleist AP1, TM Burner 2.0, Adams CB2, and the Mizuno JPX800. I know clubs are such a personal thing so I don't mean to sound like an advertisement or offend.

First, I eliminated the Burner 2.0. Ya, they're cool and all but, I wasn't "feelin it." These were my front-runners initially.

Next, I hit the JPX800. Whoa! What a feel. I'm not well versed enough to explain why something feels the way it does but, these just felt crazy good. Solid and like they just "clicked."

I tried to clear my mind and hit the CB2. Hm? Kinda "dead" feeling. Plus, they were the most expensive and they don't look as sexy in person. The black finish looks kinda like a faded dark gray. Go figure.

I realized that it was between the AP1 and the JPX800.

The AP1 was really nice. I liked it more than the TM 2.0 and the CB2. They had a really "polished" feel.

It came down to the AP1 and the JPX800...

If you have been following this thread you know that I had not even considered the JPX800 before some folks here suggested them. I'm glad they did.

In the end the JPX800 won me over.

The club heads were smaller than what I'm used to but, they just seem to "find" the ball hit after hit. Not to mention the "click" sound they make just feels awesome.

The only bummer is the "Mizuno guy" and fitting cart were at another location so I have to wait until Monday night to get fitted. It's gonna be a long weekend

Thank you all for your insight and input!

This place rocks.

Congrats on your choice. I just hit the Burner 2.0 today and had my pro order me a set. I had bought a set of Ping i10's off Ebay recently, but just didn't like the shafts and not as forgiving as I need at this point. My pro gave me a good trade in, so not much out of pocket. I'm 56 and moving into senior mode so these will work well. I know the lofts are juiced but they just hit well for me. I would have taken a look at the JPX800, but living in a small town not close to major stores limits my options to demo. And I liked these anyway. The ball really jumps off the club.

Anyway, good luck with your new clubs.
