I got rid of my Mizuno MP-52's a short while back and got a set of Mizuno JPX 800 Pro.  They are very forgiving, but I just don't think they're for me.  The lofts are too strong (PW is 45 degrees I believe).  They came with a GW, but the head seems monstrous and I can't control it very well... and it's still pretty long.  That leaves me with a big gap between a full GW (125 yards) and a full 56 degree (100-105 yards).  I've also lost the ability to hit a fade when I want.  I admit I probably hit more greens due to their forgiveness, but otherwise... I'm not too terribly happy with them.  I would have rather kept the MP-52's.

I go in GolfSmith at least once a week and just nose around.  This week I saw the Nike VR Pro Combo for the first time.  I fell in love with their looks immediately.  I found a good deal on a set on Ebay and they should be here by the end of the week.  Really curious to get my hands on them.  If I don't like them, I don't think I'll have any problem getting my money back out of them... but those short irons are possibly the best looking club I've ever seen.


Since the JPX800Pro is a forged iron, you could have had them bent 2* with ease to get them to more traditional lofts, but I agree the Nikes look great !

    • Rule 1.2b refers you to a section in the Committee Procedures (Section 5I) that helps explain what a Code of Conduct may (and may not) do.  Defining acceptable behavior (including smoking) and applying Stroke of DQ penalties are certainly within the Committee's authority. That Code of Conduct certainly should be available, either in written form or in a webpage accessible to all.  It may not show up on the "standard local rules" for an organization, the "hard card", as it sounds like its a policy of this particular golf course. Assuming that's the case it should show up on the Notice to Players for this particular event.  If you can't find it, ask someone, send an email, try to find out.   In summary, yes the Committee can DQ (or withdraw) a Player for smoking, even before or between rounds.  But its up to you to go from there, communication is the key here.

    • Hmm... I not sure I completely understand. If the course has a no smoking policy, then he shouldn't smoke at the course.  I'm assuming since you are aware of the policy, it must be written down somewhere.  As far as getting disqualified from the tournament, I would think that would be up to the committee. But it feels like it is within their power to disqualify, so why take the chance?
