That's exactly the set I was thinking of too. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm gonna try and hit some today.

Hey all, I just picked up a used set of Mp 57's last month and I've played a few rounds with pretty good success. The long irons are super forgiving and easy to control, It's never been this much fun hitting long iron's. My only problem with the set is the shorter irons are way to chunky looking for my eye. I'm wondering if there is a set out there with nice hitting long irons and more bladey thinner topline short irons. Maybe a combo set of some sort? Doesn't have to be Mizuno, let me know your suggestions.

6'5 here with 37" wrist to floor. playing standard length & lie. Actually almost 1* flat (gaming Mizuno Mp57's now). Lie angle hasn't compromised ball direction for me. I have also played with clubs fit to my height, didn't make a difference. If anything I'm more consistent with standard.

Likes: Tiger, Keegan, Dufner Dislikes: Mcilroy, Ganzalo Fernandez Castano, Adam Scott (There are a ton more I dislike but I'll keep it at 3 like the OP requests.

No, I really dislike that stock fubuki shaft.

" I heard that all the bunkers are played as wasted areas this week. But looking at, for example, picture k_25 there are waste looking areas, but in the middle of the fairway there is a pot bunker. I noticed in other pictures clearly defined greenside bunkers as well. Are they all really being played as waste areas?" The guys on golf channel won't stop talking saying "there are no bunkers on this course, all area's with sand are called sandy area's and will be played from as a waste area". Dustin Johnson must feel like crap...

Keegan seem's to be really optimistic about the championship even with the weather conditions. As much as I would hate to admit it, Rory and Gmac might be the ones to watch out for on this course.

The Nike is an okay club with a different shaft that isn't the stock fake Fubuki but already cost's $300 at a retailer. You can probably get the Burner 2.0 for $150 new somewhere and the stock shaft on that isn't too bad, a hair whippy for my liking but I could live with it and probably hit it a ton.

If I didn't have my Nike blades I'd be hitting Mp69's. nuff said...

Weirdest thing ever happened this afternoon. I am at the driving range with my grand dad working on hitting my driver straight for a tournament I have coming up on Tuesday. I just sold my original 10.5 R11 TP (aldila rip green eyes stiff) a few weeks ago to buy a Nike VRS with the same shaft as my old R11 (BIG MISTAKE). So I can't seem to get this new driver to go straight consistenly as my old R11, most shots are slices or hooks. So after spraying about a 100 golf balls all over the place I say hey grand dad lemme see whats up with that Burner ya got there? I pick up his 08 Burner with Taylormade RE*AX "M" flex shaft and I'm killin it straight down the middle every time! WTH? It feels so good just like my old R11! As for distance, the range ball were flying about 220-230 yards which at this point I'm happy with after having such bad luck with the New Nike club. Now, my question is what would happen if I hit this same club with a stiffer shaft? More distance? Lower Trajectory? Both? I'm so happy to finally have the ball in the fairway again but my pride is hurting with a senior flex driver in my bag!!!!! Little info about me I'm 24 years old 6'5 300 pounds I do allot of heavy lifting 10 index SS 100-105 So basically I'm not exactly a senior flex candidate, right?

The 20xi is a terrible ball IMHO. There are less then a handful of Nike Staffers even using them.

Thanks for the input guys. I've determined that it is true in turning down the loft that the face sits open a bit hence the slicing. When I messed with the virtual tuning on taylormades website it shows how the trajectory is effected by tuning and turning down loft promotes more fade. The weights are already setup draw biased. I also hit the new RBZ tp driver at golfsmith on their new launch monitor (So cool like virtual golf) just to see for myself how I can handle the 9* loft. I was hitting a consistant subtle fade (oh yeah, just how I like it!) 270-278 yards. If I can achieve those results with my old R11 with proper tuning, I would be very happy, if not you may see my driver for sale on ebay and a new RBZ driver in my bag.

I got my R11 last year and have since been using it with the factory settings un-tampered with (10.5 loft, neutral face). I am now trying to achieve a lower ball flight so I have turned the loft down by 1* degree making it a 9.5* degree loft. The only problem is now I am starting have a bad slice and shortened distance by about 20 yards. I like to hit a subtle fade but this is crazy? My question is, In turning down the loft should the face set to "Close" or should I get a lesson? When I had it set to a 10.5 loft I was consistently hitting straight 245-250 yard drives and once in a while I would get a little fade but the trajectory was pretty high and not ideal for windy days on the course.

Quote: After thought: If they aren't combing the lie/length, then they are in fact suggesting an effective lie of 5.75 degrees for you. Yikes. Exactly what I was thinking. After making this post I was checking out my iron's at address and my short irons toe looks a little too far down. I would have to line up with the butt of the grip pointing much lower then my belt buckle to get the club lined up like my mid irons. I may have the loft/lie checked since I have played with my irons allot and haven't checked the loft/lie in a while. Not sure how the lie angle could go flat from playing, though? I may end up needing an extra degree upright..
