    Been gaming the JPX EZ's for a couple of months now - compared to the clubs I was using they've made a noticeable difference to my game. Made golf more fun, which has had me on the course more, which has helped my game improve more quickly.

    It's so true isn't it that we all want the experts i.e. Parfield etc to take the difficult decisions for us. If you believe the advertising then all the companies are the best. Spending wads of cash on good clubs is only third in line after buying a home and a car! When you buy a car, once you have decided a budget, most people go with what feels right and looks right to them. So go and look at them, try them out then once you have decided, get professionally fitted. I bet most average golfers would improve their game more quickly if they spent half the cost of a good set of irons on lessons with a PGA Pro and practised effectively. Thanks Mark for another dose of your sensible advice.

    Mark you're so right: most game improvement clubs are mostly the same. I've tried Mizuno JPX EZ but I did not like the looks nor the sound at impact. However when I tried the MP54 both looks, feel and sound were to my likeing but probably not the club for a high handicap player like myself. Great advice. Keep it up

    absolutely spot on Mark - I was going to upgrade my Lynx Elegance irons to a more designer label but really, over the last couple of weeks I decided what would be the point - my next set of irons will be 7-9 blades and 4-6 better player combo irons and they will be the ones i like the look of most as i cant see any differences really between manufacturers - the trigger for buying these will be a massive improvement in my skill level - at my age its more likely that my skill level will go in the other direction towards chunky clubs if i ever need to replace them - if i dont achieve that then what would be the point in me replacing a better quality player cavity back with a designer label club - bugger all is my guess - for now I am happy with Lynx and they go well with my Nike tour quality woods and wedges ;-)

    Any thoughts on the Maltby Playability Factor (MPF) scoring system? I'm among the minority I suppose who really find it to be quite accurate, and I came to it AFTER noting weird things where clubs' performance didn't jibe with how they were marketed... for example, I always felt that my old Ping S58s were more forgiving (in my hands anyway) than my JPX 825 Pros. Much more. I'd also found MP53 to be a much more forgiving club than the H4, again for me anyway. Then I found the MPF and it started to make sense - it's an interesting system to learn about and debate - and at times a bit counter to what club manufacturers want us to believe.

    Thought you were using Mizuno MP H5 now Mark ? (From a previous video)

    Give the Nike Covert 2.0's a hit too. I went and tried a load of GI Irons recently, and was torn between the Nike's and the G30's, but for me, I preferred the look and feel of the Covert's, and they performed as well, if not slightly better than the G30s. Didn't like the JPX EZ's, quite a big off-set, which looked quite strange to me down by the ball, and I felt as if I was always going to hit the ball left. As Mark said though, go and try a load, you won't know what you like until you've hit a load of different irons and seen how they perform.

    Hey Mark, great advise on the irons? I'm 39 and looking for my first set, and yes forgiving as well. Was leaning towards the callaway x2 hot in regular graphite. Your review on these seemed great, but what do you think for a new player? Thanks

  • @jek7011

    Mark, we have some new clubs like Callaway 815 d and w and Mizuno 850 d and w. I am waiting for your review!

    Hi Mark,
    Any reason why you never mention Adams Ideas when talking about forgiving or game improvement irons?
    Love the channel BTW

    • @StigTalk
      @StigTalk 10 років тому +1

      Those are the first that comes to mind for me as well. Idea, Idea Tech, v3, v4 and a12 OS. But like Mark mentioned, looks and feel are things to consider and those clubs are pretty poor in that department IMO.

    • @shlonga86
      @shlonga86 10 років тому

      Yeah? I love the chunkiness and 'functionality over aesthetics' of the Adams irons. But as you both said, it comes down to personal preference.
      As a once a month golfer playing off 36, I couldn't care if the club head looked like a dick'n'balls, as long as I hit it consistently enough not to reach for my hip flask before 7am haha

    • @StigTalk
      @StigTalk 10 років тому +2

      Scott Long I tried them, and they were functionally amazing when I could find the club face near center. The fitter at a PGA Tour Superstore spent nearly an hour with me hitting every demo/fitting irons they had and we found that the smaller the head got, the more consistently I could hit center.
      Ended up leaving with a set of MP-64s and my first round out, I cut 5 strokes off my best round with a chunky TM RBZ set. In the end, the only way anybody's going to benefit from clubs is getting the right one that works best for them.

    The Jesus S1N Cavity Back Irons

  • @drumcatnau
    @drumcatnau 10 років тому

    The real answer is that the iron HEADS are all roughly the same. The real difference is shaft. If everyone puts the same shaft in, they're virtually identical. If you choose from the variety of shafts out there, especially in the graphite choices, they can be massively different even on the same head. This difference is what needs to be addressed.

    • @volans25
      @volans25 10 років тому +1

      Not really. Size of the sweet spot and location of the Center of Gravity is huge. You can move COG down and forward and change the characteristics of the ball flight a ton. Then you can expand or decrease the forgiveness a lot as well. You will get hurt hitting a toe shot more on muscleback than a cavity back.
      Don't underestimate the design of the clubhead. It mattes. In the end the total fit of the club is mostly important.
