As of right now i am about an 8-10 handicap. Ive had Mizuno mx 100 irons for the last 2 years, which are game improving irons that are meant for the mid to high handicapper.

Am i losing anything by playing these irons as opposed to irons for more of a low handicapper?

If you are happy with your game, and you can do all the shots you want then there is nothing wrong with the irons. If you feel like you have hit a wall and want a little more out of irons, then maybe look at new irons. I dont think you are "losing" anything with MX 100. If you do decide to get new irons, dont expect your hcp to just go down.

I would tend to agree, generally with a set of irons that are more geared toward a lower handicap you have the ability to work a ball, left and right, high and low.  The more game improvement irons tend to try and help you hit the ball straight and high.  So if you are happy with your game and feel like you continue to improve, probably no reason to change irons.

I wouldn't worry about it.  Like everyone said, if you are doing what you want with what you got, keep it. I went from slingshots to my Mizuno MP32s quite a few years ago and didn't really notice any change in handicap because of them.  I just didn't like the looks of the GI irons.  They didn't fit my eye.

    • 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?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
