Don't be mislead by the mislead..... The MP60's and MP32's are for players of all index's. It's a mater of whether or not you're comfortable hitting them and if you intend to grow in your game.

I agree that you must be comfortable with your irons. One of the main problems I had with my Callaways was the offset look at address. When I addressed the ball, it looked like I was going to hook the ball because of the offset, and I ususally did.

Same with me and the Mizuno MX23's. Great clubs, but you get to a certain level, or expectation and they just don't fit anymore.

It's not that I'm that darn good or anything at a 12-handi, it's just I know I won't get better if I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

"This isn't a game of perfection... it's a game of misses and who's misses hurt less"..

I forget who I'm quoting, but it's pretty darn true.

I will have to change my vote by weeks end. The Top Flites are going into retirement. My new Titleist 775's are due in any day. I feel like a kid at Christmas. I think I just heard Santa's sleigh...guess not. I just hope they come before the first night of my league. I would like to get them in play once before it actually counts.

I really like my Nike CCI cast clubs. They have a very small offset, and they feel great. For those looking for a little forgiveness without a lot of offset may want to give these a go.

I currently play with 10 yr old Mizuno T-zoid graphite regular, however currently trialling a number of clubs as follows:

Callaway X-20, X-20 Tour & Fusion

TaylorMade r7

I did a 6-iron demo test on all 4 today - the results:

X-20 is a solid club, works pretty well and is reasonably long
X-20 Tour again solid, long, less forgiving (it is a tour club after all)
Fusion was a good, easy to hit club, bit tended to go a bit high for me (lost distance on ocassion)
r7 was the stand out for me. It was very solid, longer than the rest due to the slightly stronger lofts, but held its line well. It seems to me to be between a game-improvement and a tour iron, compared to x-20 & Fusion. This appeals to me, as I do not yet feel ready for a tour iron, yet feel that a game improvement iron won't force to me to work more on my fundamentals (ie. it hides the flaws).

Also, on a value for money basis, there is no contest - r7 wins that race.

Interested to hear any other r7 feedback as up to now I was going to get X-20, but am now swinging into the r7 camp in a big way.

The new Mizuno MP-67's feel like butter to me. You would swear they are cavity backs. The ball flight seems a little higher than my old MP-37's but I'm gonna re-shaft them and see if that helps.

EZ, FYI - the lowest ball flight shaft out there is the TTDG. The only shaft comparable in Rifle is the Project X. Also, the 'flighted series' is designed to

increase your ball flight in the more difficult to hit irons... I did change from TTDG to Project X Flighted's and love them but the ball flight is higher in the 3 and 4 irons.

Currently have the Callaway X-14's but about to get fitted for the Ping I5's and pick them up shortly after.

I must say the X-14's are a great set of irons and have served me well. no real complaints. - just me wanting to update my set.

I5's I found the best for me to hit and I found to be a nice blend between forgiveness and workability. I compared them to clubs such as the cleveland CG2's, CG4 tour's, nike combos, and the X-20's and for me the pings seemed to fit the bill

Just got back into the game after an almost 15 year forced layoff. Decided it was time to retire my 1994 Tiger Shark PRL's and go for a more modern set.

After two solid days under a PCS Class-A fitter's microscope, I emerged with:

6-SW Tom Wishon CFE770 heads on Matrix "Studio 74" shafts and Winn DSI grips.

And a Wishon 321-LI w/ MFS-85 shaft Hybrid, same grip.

I've only had 'em five days now, and they've already made me a better golfer, 3 inches taller and filled in my bald spots. If only I'd met them before my wife....

Bag It:

3-Wood Wishon 525 F/D, 13*, Matrix Studio 65gm, Golf Pride Dual Compound
Hybrid: Wishon "321", 24*, MSF 85 HB, Winn DSI
Irons: Wishon 770CFE, Matrix Studio 74gm, Winn DSI

Putter: Odyssey DFX 2-Ball

Bag: Some big, honkin', ridiculous overkill of an Ogio cart bag with more pockets than I have teeth.

I have just ordered a set of King Cobra S9's. I was deciding between that or Titleist clubs. The pro at my club recommend the S9 cos he thinks its more suited to my game and ill struggle with the Titleist. From what i hit on the range the s9 was awesome. But i think i would have grown into the Titleist.

Ahh well, ill have my new set in 10 days :)

    • I too, like @GolfLug, remember great wedge, iron shots, or my missed putts, more than my made putts. My most memorable recently, would be: #17 Old Course St. Andrews (last year) I had been putting awful all day (I started 3 putt, 4 putt, 3 putt, 3 putt), but found a putting stroke on the back 9 and was 1 under on the back going into 16 and of course I 3-putted it for a bogey. Got to 17 and my playing partner just hit it into the hotel, so I went a little more left and decided to not try and hit it over the hotel.  And as soon as my ball was in the air, I heard one of the other caddies do the chicken noise.  LOL My shot was a little more left than I wanted, about 185 yards, I hit a 6-iron and it was drawing right at the flag.  The pin was just to the right of he bunker and towards the front of the green. My ball hit short (and just missed going into said bunker) and stopped about 15 feet left of the hole. Had a little left to right break and as soon as I hit it, I knew it was in.  Birdie on the road hole, looked at the caddie and said not bad for a Chicken.  Parred 18 (missed 10 foot birdie putt) for a 35 on the back 9 at the Old Course. #18 Springfield G&CC Last year while playing in our season long match play event, my partner and I get the 18th hole needing to win the match to move on into the knockout round.  We are tied going into 18.  A tie and we lose on overall points by .5.  Our teaching pro is on the other team (very good golfer), so we were pretty sure we needed a birdie to have a chance to win the match, I hit on of the best drives I hit all day and had about 135 yards to the pin, but it was in a place where you didn't really want to be long.  So I hit a PW and it landed just short of the flag but released about 12 feet past the hole, so have a devilish putt coming back down the hill.  Our competitors were away and the pro missed his birdie putt by inches, I thought it was in when he hit it.  So after reading the putt, which probably had a 2 cup left to right break, I made the putt to win the match.   #15 Springfield G&CC A few years back, was playing in the first round of the Club Championship (against the previous years runner-up) and my putter was balky all day.  Got to the 15 hole, 2nd Par 5 on back, and was 3-down with 4 to play.  We both hit good drives, both hit good second shots and we both hit decent 3rd shots.  I was about 15 feet and he was just a hair longer.  He missed his putt, I had another slider putt down the hill, with about a foot of right to left break and made the putt.  I birded the next hole, to go 1 down, but not a memorable putt as I only needed a bogey to beat him on that hole, he had all kinds of issues going on.  Lost on 17, as he birdied it, right after I missed mine to lose 2&1.

    • Ok so as of this point the bug persists. We figured out that I can select the tees (gold or blue) manually and it resets the back 9 scorecard to the Lake course, but as soon as I add #10 manually, it automatically sets the back 9 as Ridge and no amount of playing around with the tees changes it. And it still doesn't save #10 when I sign off. Andy from support said he will speak to the tech team about it, but it seems there isn't anything either of us can do at this point. I've accepted that #10 is simply lost. I now have 17 correct holes and that's going to have to be good enough.
