uttexas, can you elaborate more on your idea? i think you're on to something here because i do hit fades more easily with these irons, especially the 9 iron and 10 iron (PW). i thought the popular belief is that offset would help to reduce the tendency to slice/fade. mgresh, thanks for the link. but it only explains how offset can be measured differently. I'm not talking about the "offset numbers" on papaer, but I can physically see the short irons have goose-neck offset and the 3-iron has very minimal offset.

Can someone explain what's the reason/logic behind the "reverse offset" design in irons? I just got an old Japanese ironset (Honma from mid 1990s) and the offset in shorter irons is more than the longer irons. Thanks.

i have 3 sets of irons now: - Precept Tour Premium Forged - Macgregor M685 - Honma LB-606

i am too a fan of face-balanced puttter. i have a Tracy and Odyssey Black Series #3 (steel face, no insert). both are face-balanced. The Odyssey is a semi-mallet but it feels great.

i've used the F50 model 3W for quite some time (the model before F60, but i think they are very similar). it's a very nice club. nice feeling and sound. and pretty long too. too bad i'm not very consistent hitting it off the fairway (it's the golfer not the club).

what he said.

i have a Mizuno F-50 7-wood. it's one of the best feeling woods i have hit. very nice feeling and sound at impact. but i hit it only around 5 yards longer than my 3-iron or 4-hybrid. i prefer the hybrid over the 7-wood and 3-iron for more consistency.

i have the 60* MD with C-grind and i love it! the weight/balance is perfect and the spin is excellent. make sure you wear the groove a bit with range balls coz the MD grooves will eat your ball (even on half swings).

Pitch shots from 20-110 yards. I'm also practicing my chipping.

Thanks Pat. I used to carry Driver, 3w, 5w, 4h. but i couldn't hit my 3w from fairway consistently.. i very seldom need a 3W off the tee thanks to my forgiving driver. so i decided to take it out of the bag and add a GW. i miss the greens a lot, and the 4 wedges help me with more choices (loft and bounce).
