hey guys,

I need your opinion here, I am itching to buy some new gear, at the same time debating whether its worthwhile or not.

I currently have a set of Taylor made OS 2 which i purchased brand new about 1.5 years ago, anyway the clubs are forgiving, but my iron shots arent that consistent, and i was looking and reading up the mizuno mx900 – “game improvement irons” the reviews i have read are GREAT…and everyone swears by em. do you think its worth getting?

what benefits realisitically will i be seeing with the mizunos

thanks guys

They are a good looking game improvement iron, But if you are going to spend that sort of money, Make sure you a fit as well, Lenght, swingweight, shaft profile,grip, and the loft and lies as well. You can have all the game improvement design in the world but if they don’t fit you, you are not going to hit them as well as you can.

Cheers Nigel

I doubt there would be much diff between the two models. The TM OS2 are shovels much more so than the mx900. If you are having probs hitting short irons then perhaps get a few lessons before spending a fair whack on the Mizzy’s. Or as Nigel said get properly fitted for some GI no name irons that will work better for you.

Bugger all mate – don’t bother.

I love Mizuno – but the OS2 are a good club.

Buy a new putter or a couple of wedges…

thanks for the replies, my taylor made are fitted…but when i brought the clubs i just started so i didnt ahve a consistent swing.

i did have lessons, but havent had the time for anyway,

i’ve been playing about a year on an off and my score fluctuates from 90 -100 its soo annoying…i guess i cannot blame my irons then…

thanks for the replies tho…sooo no reason to buy one?

They are some nice clubs Johnny.

Personally, I would invest my money in lessons and practicing having a more consistent swing rather than spending big$$$ on new clubs and having the same inconsistent swing.

I agree, mishits are mishits, no matter how good the clubs are.

Matey,

The clubs are the least of your problems… You are still floating around in C-Grade (28-17 handicap)

Get some lessons… get down to sub 85 rounds – then have a look at some new irons…

True, invest that money into lessons, for $1,000 you will get almost 20-25 lessons (a year’s worth). By then you should have a great consistent swing, and you would have hopefully come down to mid teens and then you can look at buying new irons…

thanks…i get the picture…im never gona get better sigh

i do have golf lessons…i just thought new clubs will speed the process up..just need an excuse to buy….

thanks for all ur info..will ask u guys again when im about to purchase new irons.

Johnny I’m probley going to get a kicking here, but I reckon I can take 2-3 shots off your game, just by a little fitting. 1. set make up, I bet you have a driver 3, 5 wood, 3i-sw and a putter. There is lots of room in there for improvement.

Driver, your driver probley has a 9 or a 10 on it 45 to 45.5” long, The avg on pga tour is 44.5”, and you have to ask yourself can you control your driver better than a tour player if not why are you using a driver that is longer than theres, If you want to hit fairways, try a little more loft and no longer than 44”, and get it to the correct swing weight to help you hit it more on center.

How do you go with that 3 wood, I bet you cann’t hit it straight and long off the deck more than 3/10. And if you don’t through that puppy out of your bag.Then put in a club that will help you score better like another wedge or 7 wood.

Take a look at your irons, and ask yourself how well do you really it your 3 and 4i ? replace them with some easier to hit hybrids, in the same loft and lenght.Do you know that 5i in your set would be the same loft as your dads 3 or 2i he was using in the 70s.

Wedge set up, because all the companys pushed there loft forward your pw is around the 45-48 deg mark, and your sw is 56degs so that leaves you with a 11- 8deg gap in your wedges. So if your 80meters out you are going to have to ease off on your pw, which is not easy when you are a higher marker, or hammer the crap out of your sw, so fill the gap with a gap wedge, if you have not or ready.

Look at your putter, is the lenght( eyes over the ball) right loft, you must have 4degs of loft a impact to help roll the ball the best, is the lie angle right. Is the swingweight right to help with your distance control.

These are only some of the simple things you can do to help lower your score.There are a s#it loads of things a good clubfotter can do to help you score better.

Cheers Nigel.,
