For my preferences on the website they recommend the JPX800's anyone heard of/ got these?
I really want the mp-59's they look sweeeet, shame im not good enough yet
I might look closer at them then, 7-10 days will be worth it though haha, and im not too sure if i am really, hit my 8I around 115-120 consistently and 6 iron 155, 5 iron 170-175, but i struggle off the tee, so i think im not a bad ball striker with my irons. Did you get them custom fitted?Just ordered some, 7-10 days!! grrr... If your a good ball striker they are a stunning club.. im off 21!

I think Matt Kuchar was using the new Mizuno MP650 driver at Sawgrass.
Oh really? I thought id gain distance and supposedly loose consistency, are the only benefits of soft forged clubs shot shaping ability?You might find a slight loss in distance switching to a soft forged club I know i have.

I dunno how i got to that conclusion if im honest, just thought lighter head + smaller head = more club head speed, and i thought that since nearly all the pros use them they must be getting more distance ( im stupid i know). And i know where your coming from about the h/c and the ball striker thing, but iron play is the strongest part of my game, one i start hitting it a bit straighter off the tee ( lesson on that last saturday) and my short game improves, practising it loads i will be put down a load of shots, and my last four or five rounds have all been +16 - + 17Why would you think you would gain distance, smaller head and softer metal = loss of distance against cast heads i would imagine.
They are great clubs don't get me wrong i love mine, but there will be days they are hard to hit, and thining a fordged blade on a cold day an't much fun.
and i know you could get away with buying a set Mizuno blades but they do recommend low to mid handicap which aint 20+.
I'm an ok ball striker playing off 9, not sure you can say that playing off 20+
I've even though of getting something more forgiving myself, as i gen belive i'm not good enough to be using mine.
Don't want too put you off but , have a think and a damd good try of some.

Forget Mizunos, the future is Orka
Fully custom fitted, soft as butter to hit and a lot cheaper too!

Go on...you know you want too........ :rofl:
Haha thats a good idea, When I get down to a official handicap of 10 i will treat myself to some new irons, and a new bag, and a scotty cameron putter, oh and i need some new fairway woods, i just hope i win the lottery before i treat myself haha. Don't get me wrong i don't care what i use as long as i get the ball into the hole in the least amount of shots as possibleHey its your money at the end of the day, What are you talking £700 or there abouts.
I started playing 6 years ago and had a set of Cast mx17 and from a 24 handicap to a 10 in two years and when i got to 10 i treated myself to a forged set.
Theres guys on here who are more interested in what they have in there bag rather than anything else. Why make the game harder than it needs to be just for the sake of it. why not get yourself down to a target then when you get there treat youself as a reward.
You know it makes sense Rodders

Really? im suprised about the driver, might have to have a look at them thenThey had a Mizuno Demo day at my club last week, full whack iron cart and bags full of woods and wedges. Had a go with the DNA it recommended DG S300 ,PX5.5 and KBS tour S also the clubs were JPX 800 Pro and JPX 800.My average swing speed was 83mph with the DNA but when using a PX 5.0 I got an average of 85mph with a JPX Pro.
The guy had a trackman but didn't pay much attention to it as it was straight into a 20mph wind, i really like that combination of head and shaft got decent distance and flight into the wind.
The MP650 Driver was suprisingly good it had a stiff Fujikura shaft in it ,great flight and distance a good 10 yards further than my R11
Has anybody tried the mizuno fitting center thing? they have one at my course was going to try it out, as i am not getting on with my nike slingshots at the moment, i think they are too bulky for me.:lol:
I've not tried the swing DNA gizmo but this seems to be a gimmick and not sure how it can really fit you for a shaft on the basis of the shot hit and the results it gives alone
