Welp I am now $1000.00 poorer, but I couldn't be happier! I just bought a new set of Mizuno MP-63 irons. Went to my local Golfsmith, it was actually ranked #1 in the Southwest for fitting by GolfDigest. After hitting the Ap2, 63 and 53 side by side for about 45 min I came to the conclusion that I liked the 63 most. I then proceeded to get fitted for a shaft through Mizuno's shaft optimizer- my results came up with my flex being between Stiff and X-Stiff, I chose the stiff and it gave me the DG S300 as my best fit with the Project X 5.5 in second. Then hit the lie board and everything came up as standard lie and length (after being measured). He said i could get it bent 1* upright if i wanted to, but to try out the standard lie for a bit and if i felt i needed the 1* upright they would be able to do it for free. Luckily for me they still had one set left in the back!

The overall experience of finding and getting fitted for new clubs is sort of a rush. The guys at Golfsmith were very helpful and knowledgable about their fitting.

total bill was around $988.00 (that includes some other purchases I made while there)

We finally got rain here in Houston, but that means I now have to wait a day or two to take them to the range. Can't wait to play with them this weekend!!!

In the Bag: 

 MP 001 9* Stiff shaft

 MP-63 3-PW DG S300

 Burner Rescue 18* Stiff

 56* and 60*

 White Ice #1

 Pro v1

I'm in the same boat, but I went with Discount Dan's so I got a great deal.  I got 4-PW and 2 MPT-11 wedges for less than $900, retails at over $1000.  I love that place....

I think you'll love the Mizuno's, I got a set of MP-58's this year and they are really sweet. I didn't get a chance to hit the 63's but I did try out the 68's and they were very cool also. All of the Mizuno's that I tried have great feel.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
