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 !

    • Day 26: Did full swing practice after work. First 15 balls were working on top of the backswing feel, and then tried to incorporate transition feel into the next 15 balls. A's, although this will be my last season of being a fan as they leave for Las Vegas (by way of Sacramento for a few seasons). Hard to see myself rooting for the Giants, but if that's the only MLB in the Bay Area, I guess I might get on board.
    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death. 
    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?
