An Introduction :)

The MX950 look very appealing to me (I like the hybrid #3 & #4 irons) but I've phoned 5 local golf Pros and none of them had any in stock or even a demo club that I could try. Does anyone know where I might have more luck??

Also when it comes to the shaft should I be going for Steel or Graphite??

Steel less you are old or weak. Where are you from, my fitter is great and holds a huge amount of old stock. He also does alot of internet sales.

Pick his brain, hes a real help. Let him know you know Alex from the forum, hes knows about it. I am sure he can post to you.

Tim Jenkins is a good shop stock wise. Customer service is a little bit off sometimes (depends who you talk to) but apparetly he is very good for fitting.

Where you from then?

I'm from Co.Durham, about 10-15 mins drive from Durham City center.

I ordered an MX-200 and an MX-950 demo iron from eBay this afternoon so that should give me something to try on the range and let me see what I think. Are the new JPX-800 Irons the replacement for the old MX-1000 Irons and would they be usable by an amature like myself (more importantly, are they worth adding the extra $$$ to get them?)?

Also I know I've mainly been looking at the Mizuno Irons but if I was to increase my searching what other Brands/Clubs should I take a look at, keeping my $300 budget in mind??

Thanks again to everyone for the helpful advice and warm welcomes

Hi Doc!

If you are prepared to get a used set then there are a lot more options. You may not get them as cheap as you could on ebay from this site but they will be genuine and the condition will be at least as good as advertised.

Yes JPX are made for your standard. They are aimed at the same market as MX100/1000/200. JPX pro are maybe MX300.
