Hey guys

Just bought myself a new set of Callaway irons last Wednesday. I have been hitting the cover off the ball. Getting the best loft/distance i've ever gotten out of irons. Ball travels completely straight. When I purchased them I was between .5 - 1.5 degrees off on my fitment test on the sole of the club. The pro told me to play a few rounds with them, bring them back after im used to them and see if any changes need to be made. My question is, is the degree adjustment going to straighten out my shot or is it likely something else? Feet/shoulders are completely square.

first question, have you setup a line target at flags on the range and made sure you dont just naturally push it or your alignment is off?

You should work on your 20 foot putts with all those GIRs you're getting.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

change nothing.... but aim 5-10 yards left of pin everytime. BINGO - pro golf strategy

trust me, i'm a pro golfer

on a more serious note-probably should get the lies fitted so they are perfect at impact - this will just make things easier for you in terms of strike. But even more seriously - the first sentence is correct.

If you didn't have the problem before it has to be the irons.

And you won't rest until you find out.

      New Maxfli Forged Irons - $800!

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      Has anyone played the new Maxfli forged irons? For the first time in I don't know how many years, they have come out with new clubs. From what I read, Maxfli was bought by Taylor Made a long time ago which then took all of their ball making technology and patents in order to get into that market. The club business was left to whither and the reorganized company, now a part of Dicks / Golfworks / Maltby, is producing these new clubs. (Their Tour X balls which I play are really good.) Anyway, I tried them both out at Golf Galaxy. There's a player's distance iron (XC-3) and a blade (XC-2) and both feel really, really nice, almost "Mizuno-like" in their soft buttery feel and they're a bargain at $800 for a set. I'm planning to ditch my Titleist's and want to go back to a forged iron. I almost pulled the trigger on the Mizuno Pro-245's last summer, but a damaged tendon sheath in my finger combined with a back injury messed up my golf game so I held off. Now the Pro-245's are no longer available, soon to be replaced by the MX-15. (At twice the price of the Maxfli's...that's what got my attention in the first place.) If anyone has played with the new Maxfli's or just tried them out like I did, let me know what you think.
