Hi, I´ve been out of the game for quite some time now so I really don´t know what to look for. I have a set of callaway big bertha x-12 series and I´m wanting to buy a new set of clubs. I came down to these 3.
mizuno jpx 800, taylor made burner plus and the taylor made racketballz rbz. all with steel stiff shaft.
Any recommendation?

If it were me I would take the mizunos, they are a really nice set of irons. I would stay away from the rbz irons as I know people from this site have had minor issues with them but I hear the newer jet speed items are very good however. I will also add however that the x-12s might serve you very well for the time being and the money saved could be put towards some good instruction. Best wishes anyway

I learned on TM BUrner Plus irons - they're very good clubs, but super game improvement category for higher hcp'ers.    RBZ are game improvement & better suited for mid-cappers, which is where you are.    Plus the RBZ are a lot slimmer looking at address, which most people like.    Can't go wrong with either IMHO & they're both much more forgiving compared to the irons you have.

Just try them and than make your choice.

as i'm a mizuno fan i would go for the mizuno's . Maybe the pro version is a better fit for you.

but again get fitted it will save you some strokes.

On the other hand after that you can't blame the clubs

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
