im a high single digit hndcp.. been playing for about 6 years now. Have had major improvments in the last year or so. Ive committed to truley learning the ins and outs of the swing and all aspects of the game. From making that four footer to save par.. to shaping the driver to get in position to attack the flag. and everything in between..lol.. i had been playing taylor made r7 irons w stock stiff shafts(90 grams) and a few months back i made one of the best decisions of my golf life.. i purchased a set of Mizuno MP64s w kbs tour stiff(120grams) shafts.. Was a little worried. when i ordered them.. hit em great during fitting and had very tight dispersion w them.. but had my fears bout them regardless. really didnt know if i was ready for that type of club..

First time out w them. early november.. their was a very different feel to them.. i couldnt believe how different the game had just become for me... i could work the ball both ways w control and confidence.. i could flight it low w control.. the feel and sound were so good!! the ball flight was def lower then i had been used to.. but so much better.. a good solid mid traj. mid spin.. no ballooning.. just a good solid peircing ball flight.. and my distance control is so much better w these bad boys!! i sometimes cant believe the shots im able to pul off now.. game changing for me!

I am beyond satisfied and happy w this combination.. wish i did it sooner. i think in some ways my old gi clubs were actually holding me back a little..

Anyone in the market for new sticks... def consider the kbs shafts!

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
