Got some new Mizuno jpx 825 irons with true temper dynalite gold xp r300 shafts and have had big problems controlling them! I think they are too flexible, misses have big really high cuts or hooks. I have a decent swing speed, driver I hit very straight with stiff shaft (250-270). I am very frustrated with my inconsistency and appreciate any help and suggestions! Thanks!!!

yeah to weak a shaft.

Always get FITTED.

Buying mizuno you should have measured your swing DNA

That info will recommend you the proper shaft, than the head is more

a personal preference.

What is the shaft in your driver or what driver do you use?

There are many good shafts out there. But get fitted and sort things out.

We here can't recommend a shaft without some swing info.

Dirver: Mizuno JPX 825 9,5 Fujikura Orochi Red Eye Stiff 65 g.
3 wood: Mizuno JPX 825 14 Fujikura Orochi Red Eye Stiff 75 g.

Agree with GG, Mr. D and Tom.

Specs on the Dynalite Golf XP R300: about 117 grams weight, high launch with a soft tip... not what you need with your 250-270 S-shaft Driver performance.

Golfers often get the Dynalite Gold and Dynamic Gold shaft families confused. The Dynamic Golds are low launch, firm tip.

As others have said, get the Mizuno DNA shaft fitting. The analysis will yield a short list of three shafts for you to consider.

Focus, connect and follow through!

My driver is a ping 15 with the Serrano 60-S. I actually got fitted by someone at my club, they didn't at the time have a mizuno cart. They added an inch to all my irons and I know that makes them even more flexible! If this helps my driver swing speed is 100-105.

I can recommend the best shaft out on the market for a fairly decent price.  Try the Nippon PRO

950GH shaft. Obviously stiff, but you might benefit from hitting regular in a steel shaft.  I'm playing the 712 ap2's with that shaft in regular with a swing speed of 103-107.  But my woods and driver are stiff shafts.

I have very similar stats to you, and I play the JPX 825 with KBS Tour stiff. They'll be about the same weight with a little lower ball flight and you'll have more control being stiff. I would highly recommend them.

      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.
