Have you got money burning a hole in your pocket Chris? You seem determined to get yourself new irons one way or another

Yes, in a way I have John.
My pro sold some AP2's I had,and I have a buyer for my Callaways at a reasonable price. I have tried the replacement Callaway XR irons but after a range session yesterday I'm not sure I like them too much. I did cream some JPX 850's a couple of weeks ago and they are easy to hit like my X2 Hot and if they go as far then they really are a beautiful club ( compared to the X2) and worth a look at!

I might be interested in these if Chris doesn't have them.

Visually they are stunning clubs imo. Absolutely gorgeous.
Few people on this thread not got one with them and their handicaps are in the teens. Think that's the problem tbh.
I play with a 6 hc and he has them and flushes them. Improved distance on his previous forged clubs too.
I think with the forged nature and feedback you get off them, they're better for a lower/better technique player.

Heyyy !!! Thats not nice -- Chris finds the fairway from every tee shot - might not be the right fairway but its a fairway , so surely that must count
I tried these when getting fitted for my MP4's, went miles felt really good off the face too, slightly better than the 825pro i have. only reason i didnt go with them was id have the same problem with the gentle chips and bump and runs i had with the 825pro, fly off the face and could not get distance control on short shots.
the ones i tried had the same shaft as the MP4 which was KBS Tour Ctaper 120, i gained 5 yards over the S300.

I had a Mizuno fitting a few weeks back with my pro, I hit the 850 forged and the 825 Pros, I couldn't see any difference in them, they were both gorgeous, so I ended up buying the 825 pros simply because they were £200 cheaper. If I had the money I would have bought the 850's as they were the 'new' model, but performance wise I could get no more out of them than the 825's. These are my first set of Mizuno's and I have to say I am mightily impressed. Does anyone have any experience of the MP T series (especially the MP T102 & MP T105) line of putters? I am in the market for a new one and those look great but cant find one anywhere to test, I have read reviews they are really soft off the face and they look gorgeous and can be had for decent money?

I am sure Chris gets a warm feeling knowing that even if his memory goes, we will always be able to remind him of that day.:thup:Heyyy !!! Thats not nice -- Chris finds the fairway from every tee shot - might not be the right fairway but its a fairway , so surely that must count

The funny thing, just 3 days later my partner and I won a big competition at The Grove and I played out of my boots and the driver behaved itself all day!

and you think that will get you off the hook old timer.:mmm:
I've a brand new set 3 months old that have not hit a ball yet. I've got the 825 pro's and won a £600 custom fit in an open sweepstake so was fitted for the 850 forged, but if I'm honest there was no improvement from my 825's so they are in my wardrobe until I decide what to do with them. The 825's are a fantastic club with a great feel, the 850's match this but IMO are an improvement on looks but not performance.

Well that's no use at all to the Sunday and get slapped by two fellow forumers - feel so deflated to score so well with so many birdies but to lose - gutted
Struggled with my game ever since - that's what happens when Rich beats you

Don't let me stand in your way if you are ready to move on them, I still need to try some with the right shaft and i stepped back from stiff a while back

Hi lads, just to keep you informed and not messing people about but from yesterday I'm in contact with Mizuno about the shaft issue. I did the DNA fitting again this morning with the pro at the range i use and the 3 shafts were the same from the original fitting, but i tried 3 other shafts KBS C taper and DG SL r300 and one graphite option. Right away the difference in distance was noticeable and felt so much easier to hit. I did hit the C Taper at my original fitting and according to the figures it went to high but the SL was good as well. Just need to see what happens, sorry

I have a set, got them last October and love them even though im still trying to get used to the differences from my old 800's. I think that is just due to me going from reg to stiff shaft though

I am pleased that you're getting somewhere and I really hope you end up staying Mizuno. I just played with my X2's and shot about 5 over, i parred the back 9 gross and have been absolutely nutting my irons ever since I broke the news to them that they might be going. Very much in a quandary as to what to do!
