i started golfing this spring with cheap maxfli dicks cavity backs. and i really just fell in love with golf. i knew i was going to play a lot of golf and stick with it. my lil brother needed clibs and was short on change so i started looking for a decent set and would give him mine. i found a set of mizuno mp-52s on craigslist for 250 bucks. i was very tentative to go with such a non forgiving club but i figured, hey itll let me know when i hit it wrong. im new and my only concern is getitng better. these clubs have helped me. instead of covering up the mishit, they let me know i mishit it. like a slap on the wrist when your a kid. it sort of forced me into becoming a better ballstriker, cuz if i do not hit it right they tell me. and my handicap shows my improvement with them. i only have about 20 rounds under my belt since i started in april, but since i got these clubs my hc has dropped from a 24-18.6. just my two cents its probably the stubborn polark in me having to do it the hard way
my suggestion would be def check out craiglist. in the last few days ive seen three sets of name brand new line clubs with less than ten rounds on them for over 50% off retail. but hit them in the store first!
