I am getting conflicting answers.....some people say the AP1 is more of a club you can "grow into" and some say the MX-200 is??? What determines this? The MX200 has a smaller topline (7.1 to 8.4), but the AP1 has a smaller sole (22.3 to 25). The MX200 is also a little smaller heel to toe (88.4 to 91). I would say the smaller topline AND the smaller overall clubhead size would make the MX-200 more of a "players club". Am I wrong?

So you are saying the AP1's can be better used by a "more skilled" golfer moreso than the MX-200s?

Of course that's what I would do! Does the MP-60 ever penalize you on miss hits? I would guess they are a little less forgiving than the MP52s.

How did you figure out how much to do? Did u just space out the loft numbers or did you check your actual distances on the launch monitor or driving range?

Care to elaborate why?

I noticed you are playing a split set. Do you have any problems going from 6 to 7 iron, since the MX-900 loft is stronger than the MP's? I would imagine you could hit your 6 iron almost as long as your 7 iron? I was considering a MP52 for 5,6 & MX-200 for 7-PW.

OK, I am down to these iron sets. If anyone has any experience with these, please chime in. I am a +18 handicap, my ss with irons is 75mph. I tend to be a sweeper and take a small divot, but often pick the ball fairly clean. My misses tend to be fat or thin, but more fat. I want a club that I won't outgrow once my ballstriking improves. I use a 3,4 hybrid, so I will just be ordering the 5-PW. 1) Mizuno MX-200 2) Adams A4 Tech 3) Titleist AP1 4) Nike VR Full Cavity I used to play Ping G10's, but desired a little more "feel" in my irons.

Which Momentus?

I really like the swingspeed. (see www.swingspeed.com ) I really works the swing muscles and the core also. I have one and it put +10 mph on my swing speed in less than 2 weeks. I know where you can get a new one for half price. Send me a message and I'll point you in the right direction.

As seen in my last video... I definitely don't get nearly enough wrist cock at the top of the backswing. Is there anything I can do other than grip loosely in my fingers? I feel like my wrists are as flexible as most people, but I am not sure why I can't get sufficient wrist hinge in my swing? Is there anything I can do? Drills? Am I stuck with this flaw?

How do I get MORE wrist cock?

sorry, I can't get the youtube links to work. You can access the videos here: http://www.swingacademy.com/swingana...l.aspx?id=2112 http://www.swingacademy.com/swingana...l.aspx?id=2113 http://www.swingacademy.com/swingana...l.aspx?id=2114 What I myself noticed..... I am not getting enough wrist cock on the backswing and I am not sure why or how to fix it. My grip is fine. I grip it in the fingers, not the palms. I have been working at not taking the club to quickly inside and I also noticed the club is pointing too steeply down towards my feet at the top of my backswing and then my donswing plane seems "above" my backswing plane and I think it's better to be the other way around.

Appreciate any help. Thanks!

Not using the hips enough is probably the #1 swing flaw in amateurs and one that is often overlooked. If you check the Pros...their hips are almost facing the target BEFORE impact. One tip is to start the downswing by pushing your left foot into the ground. This will "trigger" your hips. Then, let the club "fall" on it's own before turning on the juice. You can also think about bringing your right elbow to your right hip....skipping a rock...etc. whatever works. I think "left foot/ground, drop and extend through impact".

On a related note....I used my new Winn Xi7 grips for the first time Sat in the cold and they were great! I didn't feel one sting in the hands. Soft but firm at the same time. Great grips!
