I played today for the first time with a "short" set of these.
Mizuno MX-900. 5-PW C/F 1 inch longer 2 degrees up, new golf pride red and black.....tasty......
I found them at a Mizuno/Ping fitting centre in Staffordshire and bought them yesterday.
So, today I put away my woods (other than a 5 wood) and went and played.
These are certainly a curious set of irons. 5-7 are a wide-sole "hybrid" affair and 8-PW nice typical Mizuno Forged beauties.
It was an odd experience though.....these a SO different from my MacGregor 565s. Interestingly, the "idea" behind the two sets are quite similar. What I also discovered is that the MPF is actually lower on the Mizunos than the MacGregors despite Mizuno's wild claims about forgiveness....
I knew about this before I tried them. I also tried a set of MX-950s and Ping G5 and Callaway X-18.
So, is there something freaking me out?? or is this a boring post about my new toys?
Yes.....the flight of these irons is totally different to what I've got used to looking at for the last year.....these irons have more loft (good ) and longer shafts. The ball absolutely TOWERS up in the air and lands like a harrier jump jet with snow on.....
Is this right?
Is this normal considering I've switched from STIFF GRAPHITE YS-design to REG TRUE TEMPER D.G.?
Do I like them.....yes!!!.....are they as forgiving.....no!!!.......are they sweet when you get it right.....absolutely.....I hit some of the best iron shots in years today, especially with the 8-PW.....
