I started playing golf about 3 months ago. I learned on a set of Mizuno MP-14 Blades. They were passed down to me. Needless to say, they were hard for me to hit. I would hit the ball well about 50% of the time, and the other 50% the ball would go nowhere near where I wanted it to go. It has now gotten to the point where I feel like I need to change clubs.

Currently, I average between a bogey and double bogey on a round of golf. I am looking for something that will give me forgiveness now, but not too much so that I could use the irons for a long time. I am also looking for something forged. Nothing compares to the way forged irons feel when hit.

The irons that really catch my eye right now are the Mizuno JPX-800 Pro and Titleist 710 CB. I like the way that they look and the reviews online say they're pretty forgiving, yet giving you control of the ball still. Are there any other suggestions out there? I would hope to spend under $400, but willing to cough up more if it is worth it.

If anyone is interested in the set of MP-14 I am selling, you could check it out here: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/spo/2587454624.html

$300 includes shipping and head covers. IT COULD BE YOURS!

Any clubs that fit your body would be good clubs. Three months in...I'd recommend something Super Game Improvement like an Adams hybrid set -- irons and hybrids. Lots of good options. Just make sure they fit you.

Adams and Ping would help you the most now as they have some good (super) Game Improvement Irons, and are both quality enough to last you. If your looking for forged, check out the CB2 irons by Adams. Forged irons w/ all the forgiving attributes that you'll need.

You're right about the Mizuno. I went with the JPX-800 Pro. Tested out at the range three times already and already see massive improvement in my game. Shots go further and straighter more consistently. I plan to keep these irons for a while.

Switching to these irons also helped me get rid of my wrist pain that I would feel after a round of golf. I think it may have been caused by too many mishit balls with the MP-14 causing the shaft to rattle and creating a lot of stress on my wrist. Best golf purchase so far.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
