I’m super excited. I can’t wait to add them to my bag. The hardest part now, is the waiting. Three weeks

Three weeks isn’t bad! I had to wait 10 for my driver. Absolute torture.
Glad you got great results!! Lower scores ahead!

Mizuno makes quality stuff, and their build quality on custom sets is awesome… Glad to hear you liked the experience and pulled the trigger on some new irons. I’m sure you will enjoy them!
Waiting is always the hard part! Hopefully it’s a short 3 weeks.

Hey Mike look up Golf Specialtees in Pittsburgh. 2nd generation builder and fitter. Can do it all
Still waiting on my new toys to arrive. Ordered 6 October. Covid is having a material affect on supply. Hoping to get the new irons and hybrids this weekend.

I was fitted for Mizuno JPX 921 Hot Metal Pro irons last week and ended up with the stock shaft and standard lie angle. This was after trying about 5 different shafts, 1 degree up angle, and the regular Mizuno Hot Metal (larger) club head.
These clubs were 20 yards longer than my 15-year old Callaway X-Forged irons with their Dynamic Gold 300S shafts. When my 7-iron started carrying 140 yards, (10 less than normal) that was the straw that broke the camel’s back so I’m working on my technique (with lessons), working out, and got a hot-faced iron with lighter shafts. I’m looking forward to having more fun in 2021.

Friday excitement just as I close the work laptop for the week. Just took call from the club fitter. Collecting new irons and hybrids 08.45 tomorrow. Woo hoo!
Then I’ve a comp 11.12. Oh, what to do - play the new clubs with practically zero practice, ‘acclimatising’ or distance calibration. Or play old clubs? Good problem to have

I think this comes down to expectations and your personality… if you put up a bad round cold with the new irons will you still play them? If it might shake your confidence in them, get acclimated…
Personally, I’d play them, but I acclimate to new clubs pretty quickly.
Will - there is no question I’ll be playing them. I can stand a bad round. Just as likely to suffer a bad round with current setup 
I’ll report back

Enjoy them. Score well tomorrow!
I’m counting down the days until the kids are back in school and I can road trip to Nashville to get fit for my putter.
I’m not sure if this is the year I fully overhaul my bag or if I’ll just keep doing piecemeal replacements… might just go hybrid and three wood (and possibly a wedge update due to groove wear)
Update on the 3+4 hybrids I was custom fitted October 2020 - after going through swing changes Q1 this year I can’t hit them. Trying to close the face requires so much mental intent it’s what I imagine wrestling a snake could be like. Even setting up with the face closed doesn’t affect the slicey outcome.
I notice there are 3x interlocking adjustment rings at the hosel. How safe is it to experiment with the adjustments vs going back to the fitter vs maybe the clubs don’t fit my swing any longer? Now loading up YouTube…
As I write this it sounds completely bonkers. Just got to rotate my L wrist (rev the motorbike) to close the face?! Tried it with a bucket of balls. Find it excessively difficult.
They are there for you to adjust them… nothing wrong with it…
I’d worry more about your path if you are slicing the ball… try to get your swing more inside.

I would play with the hosel adapter and see what happens. I think a more closed face and upright light can help although every club still needs a decent swing.
I was struggling with the slice (driver) and push cut (irons) earlier this year. As a former hooker I tend to start holding on to the club too much in fear of the left. I hit the range (and my backyard net) working on making a good turn and releasing the club. I would exaggerate practice swings setting up with the clubface wide open, super weak grip and making a swing to get it square. It’s helped as I have been killing the driver, woods and hybrid. The irons are still a work in progress though.

Not sure my swing path is the issue as following my swing changes this year I’ve gone from slicing to hook. To be sure I need to get some 240fps video footage. Likely my old tendencies to over rotate, lose form, transition too quick with a weak/cupped L wrist are involved. Did some research today. Those clubs are top rated with many “these are so easy to hit” comments! Take those comments with a good pinch of salt obviously.
Oh yeah and definitely be checking the hosel / Optifit settings when I get home. Hoping to find a silver bullet
What are your recommendations?
I’m 30 and started golfing 3 years ago. I bought Strata clubs off Facebook marketplace at the time and they have served me well, but the 6 iron and 3 wood are broke and it’s about time for a new set.
While I’m about a 20 handicap and not very good, I purchased a Mevo+ and built an indoor simulator which I’ve been using 3-4 times a week. It’s hard to get on the course with 4 kids.
Anyways, in an ideal world i could get fitted and purchase a new set, but unfortunately I don’t have $1500 set aside. However, I also don’t love the idea of getting fitted and buying online.
What would y’all recommend? What are some options?
I’d love for these clubs to last me the next decade- so I’d like to do it right the first time but money is a factor. I’ve also considered going Takomo due to the affordability and rave reviews, but that would entail skipping the fitting process.
Here’s something for you to think about. What’s your purpose? With little kids and probably not alot of cash to go around… what’s your purpose? You want to get better as a 20 cap, but what can you devote to the game actually time wise and dollar wise? My irons are (sit down now) are 1988 Spalding Tour Edition Redlines. I am on my fourth set of shafts though. My irons have lasted me almost 40 years… they still work really, really well. When I bought them before kids they were $375 at the time…an arm and a leg! I saved up for 2 years to buy them. 4 years ago I bought a used back-up set just in case I accidentally would lose a club on EBAY for $73. Go out and get fitted, you don’t have to buy, take down the info, then try and match up what you learned to a Top of the Line used set… My driver is now 10 years old, my wedge set is now 8 years old, my putter is a Ping Anser circa 1975. Just re-gripped with a midsize… I am 65, I am still carrying my Adams 9064 Driver 235-240 off the tee. I am still hitting my 7iron 160ish. So, would you invest like $700 on a new driver just to gain 10 more yards? I’m not about to do that, I already outhit some of the young guys at the club! So, are you going on TOUR anytime soon… if not, get a good set of like Titleist Irons, maybe a nice M4 or M5 Driver… As you get better maybe a good set of wedges, invest in decent golf balls…lessons and practice. You will have more fun!
Ideally I would go to a local fitter and have them fit me within my budget. A good one can do that, but many don’t make much money off the lower cost stuff and they know that the people playing the low cost stuff don’t come for fittings so they just don’t carry it. So maybe get a fitting, but then use that info to buy your clubs from a Sub70 or Golfworks where you’ll play much less.
I wonder if you could get a decent fitting online though considering you have a Mevo launch monitor? Maybe you could send someone a video of your swing and the data and let them fit you? Someone is probably doing it now; they are doing lessons that way. You could call or email Sub70 and ask them. They do a great job and the clubs are high quality at lower prices.
Good points- but after listening to the woody lashes series, getting fitted is really the next step for me since it will drastically help with consistency.
I don’t golf as much as I’d like, but with the home simulator I’m getting 3-5 days in every week. Additionally, the 3 wood and 6 iron are broke and it wouldn’t surprise me if the driver head flew off soon.
But I have some Costco wedges which I’ll be keeping for sure.
That’s an interesting take. I wonder if anyone does online fittings, or can use the mevo data.
Regardless, it seems best to just go get a full bag fitting ($250). There is a guy who does it out of his garage as an LLC and he has great reviews online.
I can take those specs and purchase overtime as needed
