As previously stated in another thread I am looking at purchasing a CB/MB mixed Mizuno iron set which I demo'd. I recently found out about the veteran's discount for PxG's and now considering the GEN 1's. I know this is subjective but which way would you go and why?

I'd go with Mizuno. I really like the MP18s and you've already been fit for a set, right?

I don't really like the way the screws look on the PXG irons.

I agree on the screws but they are pretty nice in person. I did get fit but I am not sure about the fitting other than the shaft recommendation.

Well, no lie board. Had the shaft speed device thet measured my speed so I am okay with the shaft. I have two degree flat clubs and he recommended one degree flat. I feel like I should be using possibly 3 degrees flat but I am fairly accurate with 2 already. I had previously used a lie board for my current irons but my swing is different now yet he didn't measure the last e. 20180714_165729.jpg

Not sure but I know a guy with a lie board and have the stickers so might do that.

I they are the same price, It would be really hard not to go with the PXGs..   and this is coming from someone with a bag full of Mizunos.   And, I love my Mizunos.   

but, you should really hit the PXGs.   If they feel to you as good as they felt to me, I'm sure that will make up your mind.  

:tmade:  - SIM2 - Kuro Kage silver 60 shaft
:cobra:  - F9 3W, 15 degree - Fukijara Atmos white tour spec stiff flex shaft
:tmade: - M2 hybrid, 19 degree
:tmade: - GAPR 3 iron - 18degree
:mizuno: MP-H5 4-5 iron, MP-25 6-8 iron, MP-5 9-PW

True...

I really would like to hit them, price is $25 more a club. I will see if they are carried at the golf shop in Portland this weekend.

I'd go with the Mizunos if you cannot get fit for the PXGs. I bought new irons three years ago and really wanted to get the new Hogans, but I couldn't find a fitter that offered Hogan. As you can see by my forum name I've played Hogans for decades. My son is actually playing my old set of Apex Edge Pros and I still have my Apex blades from the 90s. However,  getting fit by a certified fitter is very important. I love my Mizunos now and think they're just as good as the Hogans. I haven't paid much attention to PXG. Are they not offered by most club fitters?

I know there are fitters around, just not sure if there is one up here in the boonies. I'm going to check a place this Saturday that shows on their website that they are a seller.

Ken Collins is in Manchester and was excellent. I did irons, Woods and putter with him a few years back. But he doesn’t do PXG.

      I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
