Did a dynamic fitting with a Mizuno rep today.  I'm 6'3" with a fairly steep swing, definitely more of a hitter than a sweeper.  I've been playing with off-the-rack equipment and this told me a lot about the importance of custom fitting.

The Mizuno process is really cool. You hit a few balls with this special shaft filled with sensors that measures a bunch of factors in your swing. A device mounted to the special club spits out a bunch of numbers. The rep plugs those numbers into Mizuno's fitting software and it tells you the three best shafts for your swing (in no particular order). Then you hit off a lie board to determine proper angle for you.  I used a JPX 850 6 iron for the fitting.

My shaft recommendations were Dynamic Gold X100 ss, Project X 6.0, and KBS X ss (didn't say which KBS shaft - guessing C-Taper based on the other recommendations). Also I need +1/2 inch length and 3* upright lie.  The rep built me a 6 iron with each shaft to my specs and WOW!

I might be getting some new bats after all...

Now I have to decide between JPX 850 5-PW, JPX 850 5-6 & 850 Forged 7-PW, JPX EZ 5-PW, and JPX EZ 5-6 & EZ Forged 7-PW.  Or wait for a demo day and try different brands with my specs.  I have a soft spot for Mizuno though because even their cast clubs feel good with a good strike.  And I love Tour Edge Exotics.

And I ended up ordering a set of Callaway Razr X Tours with my specs on callawaypreowned.com.  Can't go wrong with a 50% trade enhancement.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
