This afternoon i went to the driving range and tested out the mizuno mx-25, and the callaway x-20. I was very impressed with both of them. At address the callaways were much more appealing to my eyes, and they felt better compared to the mizuno's. however, performance-wise i was completely blown away with the mx-25's, compared to my clubs (which are garbage, i paid 200 dollars for an entire club set, bag and all) i was hitting about 20 yards longer consistantly and a little longer than the callaways, both were way more forgiving than my current clubs. All in all both sets blew me away, i didnt realize how much difference a set of good clubs really makes. Now i just need to decide which ones i want, any input would be greatly appreciated,

In the bag:
driver: Sumo2 9.5
3/5 wood: 15/17
hybrids: 3/4 rhythm
irons: cci 4-pw, swputter: newport 2 detourballs: nxt

It's a rush!

I like both iron sets. The MX-25 feels so soft and lovely. My distance was greater with the Callaway, but dispersion was tighter with the Mizuno. At address and overall, the MX-25 looked fine. Strangely, at address I see only the ball and not the club.

FYI, Mizuno MX-25 is forged and Callaway X-20 isn't. Forged irons set is much softer than cast.

Even only with the brand names head on, for me Mizuno feels better than Callaway. I had Callaway Fusion back then and now Mizuno MP-60. Moreover, I've hit X-20 before and Callaway forged model X-Forged, IMO, they don't come close to Mizuno in term of feel.
What's in the bag:
Driver: r7 SuperQuad 10.5° ~ UST Proforce V2 65g Regular
Wood: 906F4 18.5° ~ Aldila VS Proto 80g Stiff
Irons: MP-60 3-PW ~ True Temper Tour Concept S3
Wedges: Vokey Oil Can 252.08, SM56.10 & SM60.08Putter: Marxman Mallet 33"

The Callaway X-20s are beautiful clubs, I've been thinking of trading up for some time now. Had the X-12s since they came out so its about time for a change and the X-20s are a perfect exchange.

    • 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.
