MP-57's!!! Best Irons ever. Played MP-33's before getting the 57's. Very forgiving but still workable. The best part is you don't have to compromise the "butter" feel.

Tour Preferred vs MP-57 vs X-20 Tour
sk71 replied to Travis13's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I agree 100%. I tried all three. all great clubs. the MP 57's might not be first in the category of workability and forgiveness but it comes in first by far in "FEEL." and I think that's very important too. -
I really can't say that these are my average. basically what club I choose for certain distances. Driver: 260 3 wood: 240 off tee only -10 off grass 21* hybrid:225 off tee only -10 off grass 3:225 (but I never hit it. I just have it my bag for nice trick shots out of the trees) 4:215 5:200 6:185 7:170 8:155 9:140 PW:125 56*:110 60*:85

Project X 6.0. I bought my new set with the px shafts because I heard so many good things. I'm definitely hitting more consistent iron shots, that's for sure. I haven't hit a push shot to the right since changing to this set.(knock on wood) But I can't say that it's ONLY because of the shaft.

Who buys golf equipment ONLINE 'vs' Retail Stores
sk71 replied to monsterputt's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I buy new things in stores but buy used ones online. it's just too dang scary buying new clubs on online places like ebay. -
So, I decided not to go with the 909's and re-shaft my existing 907 D2 9.5*. I really like the 907 D2 head but was never happy with my shaft. Average SS over 20 swings: 104 Current average drive: 240 ball flight is very high. I draw the ball. Problems I have with the stock Aldila vs stiff shaft: 1. ball flight is too dang high. 2. feels like the shaft is too lose.(I tried x-stiff, too stiff) 3. hook it bad when I hit it bad. (I think I'm over swinging when I do this.) Any suggestions and price? Thanks guys!!!

Spent some time w/the DG S300 and Project X 5.5 today.
sk71 replied to rebby's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
yes, I guess preference in "feel" is important too but I was NOT talking about feel but what flex should fit his SS. Based on my experience of course. I still think he should try the 6.0's if he hits his 6 iron anywhere close to 180~185. I don't think you should underestimate math and science in golf. BTW, I noticed you have S300's in your bag? -

Sorry, I attached a jpeg but it won't upload. if this won't work, just goto the link. scroll all the way to the bottom and look for "Fitting Chart" http://www.royalprecision.com/precis..._projectx.html -

I think JYB is correct. you should chose your shaft based on the manufacturer's data. Project X fitting chart is attached. Rebby, you should be in PX 6.0 or 6.5. If you are used to hitting s300, my guess is you're not going to like the 5.5's. I was also contemplating the two shafts and because of so many threads and fitters claiming s300 is equivalent to PX 5.5's that I almost ordered it. I have average SS of 88 with the 6i and I was hitting moon shots with the 5.5 and hated the PX. And the frustrating thing is nobody has 6.0's to demo! I was going to stick with the S300 and found the attached chart at Project X website. I just went straight to Roger Dunn and ordered it with Project X 6.0. I figured if I don't like it, i can just return it and get the S300 shafted clubs. (I like Roger Dunn for this reason. full refund within 90 days) No "What if's" know what I mean? well, I took it out and to my surprise, I loved the shafts. I never hit my irons so straight and the low-penetrating ball flight was exactly what I was looking for. Please don't take my input the wrong way...I just want you to try the 6.0's. You'll like it!!! -
Titty guys- Anyone sticking with their 907's
sk71 replied to kekoa's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
First, I'm sticking with this driver! I'm in the same boat, meaning I really don't like my aldila shaft. my swing speed with the driver is 105 and my ball flight is very high with the 9.5. Is this shaft right for me you think? thanks. -
I have a 21* to replace the 3 iron but I keep the iron in the bag for that exact shot. I love a good 3 iron punch shot. Good job Dub.
-
I carry one. 21*. I use it to hit 220~230 yards from the fairway and 200 from the rough.

I had a similar experience...Few Months ago I went to Roger Dunn for a Mizuno MP 57 fitting. During the mizuno fitting, my average swing speed was 86 and I normally hit the 6 iron 185 yards. (During this time, I was playing mp-33 with DG-R300 Sensicore.) Based on the data Roger Dunn recommended 5.5 Project X. Then I went to the Project X website and saw the below chart(attached) and I thought: "Hey, Roger Dunn was wrong." Without thinking twice I ordered the clubs with the 6.0's. The ball flight was lower, which I liked, but I lost 15 yards! I immediately felt I made the wrong choice. I thought about returning it and getting the 5.5 but decided to keep it. I did hit it more consistent. I guess all is good except I can't explain the loss of yardage. Sorry st0wgolf08, I was trying to help but I think I ended up asking for help...

Yeah! I finally pulled the trigger on a new Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2!!! This time, I'm sure! No more 3-putts!!!

How many golf balls do you carry in your bag when you play?
sk71 replied to titaniummd's topic in Golf Talk
I usually have about 2 dozen. I like it when I unzip pocket full of Pro V1's -
This works for me MOST of the time. No matter what, I do not look at the score card for atleast 5 or 6 holes. I have someone else keep score. Then I take a deep breath and set a goal for the next 3 holes and try only to concentrate on that goal. I guess whatever to get my mind off that incident or penalty strokes. I usually ride so sometimes I walk to the next hole.

last week my friend(5 handicapper) and I were tied going into the 18th. We were playing for a dinner. I went first and I hit a decent 3 wood on a dog leg right and left it about 110 yds. He grabbed a driver, perfect fade and left it only about 50 yds. I went up to the ball thinking I have to stick it with in 10 feet to have any chance. I hit a perfect 56* knock down and spun it back to about 2 feet. I guess he felt the pressure cause he hit his thin pass the green. made the birdie, free dinner baby. One of the best pressure shots of my life...

What's your worst round in relation to your handicap
sk71 replied to golf rules's topic in Golf Talk
12 handicap and shot 98 three weeks ago. 3-putted almost every hole. To top it off, on the 18th, I hit 2 ob's off the tee and carelessly sunk a 30 footer to save triple. sometime golf is very cruel. -
Sweet! Good call!!! I've been waiting to pull the trigger on the Newport 2. Enjoy.
-
Right foot is square and left foot is slight open. I never put too much thought into it. that's just how I was taught...

I played my mp-33's for about 5 years. once a week. they are still awesome except for the bag chatter. you get a lot of small dings. I retired these just this week for some 57's. There's nothing like a brand new forged irons...
-
I played these exact specs except I changed mine to 9.5* after one round. With your handicap, my guess is that you are 100+ swing speed with the driver. I think 10.5 loft is way too much. There was really no "penetrating feel" with the 10.5's. It had this "Ballooning" feel? I hope you understand. anyways, I changed to 9.5 and now I'm a happy camper...I wouldn't change the shaft.

Taylor Made r-7 or MP-57's if you have money that is... If you REALLY want to work your irons, find a good set of MP-33's on ebay. $250 tops. sweetest blades ever made...

MP 33's are the best looking irons on the planet. Unfortunately I just retired it this week for MP-57. Which is the 2nd best looking irons on the planet.
