thoughts....decided on a pattern

[BerntR]

four degrees flat???? can you reach the plane with the right forearm?

4 degrees either way isn't a lot compared to how different people are built. about +/- 1.5" on grip or r elbow height.

Ya I guess you are right

Well after Gregs verbal bitch slap he finally got through to me to quit worrying about power. I went out today and felt more relaxed than ever it was the most calm feeling in the world. Just shot the best score of my life and it could have been four shots better missed a 6 footer for eagle on the par 5 eighth hole after a 365 yd drive had pw in. With no warmup bucket no putts before the round and a single broken tee I just shot the most effortless 66. If you are in the Phoenix area and you aren't taking lessons from Greg Smith you are out of your mind. I'm at a new level now with the swing and mentally. I was able to let the mechanics go and only think about where I wanted the ball to go. Birdied the last hole to shoot 66 you better believe I got in a nice fist pump as the putt dropped with authority. Weiskopf design golf course par 72 over 7200 yds this course is no pushover but today it was beat down.
When I came to Greg smith I was a 8-10 hdcp today I shot 66 I attribute it all to gregs instruction and homers information

Great ! Congratulations !

as always have to work on extensor especially in the downstroke and release, where my left arm tends to bend a little bit losing what would otherwise be a deeper release because of a straighter left arm

OB, I've got the 68's from 7 down and 53's in the 6 and up. You'll LOVE the 69's.

Just saw this , thanks Bambam, Bernt. Still thinking about things. Im down to 69s or MB's . Got a 710 MB 6 iron coming to goof with. Got every shaft known to man in my trunk. Got 4 mp 32 6 iron heads now to shaft up. Got myself totally confused, no idea.

Ive never played game improvement irons but ... most guys on tour do these days. Nobody plays 69's , quite a few play the 712 MB's. The MBs look awesome. Once i get them similarly shafted and gripped I suspect the feel of the mizunos will probably win the day. TBD.

Had a mizzy fitting session that reco'd S300 but the KBS tour stiff had a nice feel to it. Seemed to fly nice.

Don't want to change away from Mizzy and DG s300 . I need a golf equipment therapist ... Dr of golf ho 'ery. DH , designated ho. I don't change irons much , I'm not used this.

Bernt I played Staffs for about 25 years, please don't confuse me any further. Innercity, don't get sucked into super whippy senior shafts by salesmen. You'll spray them all over the place and they'll feel seductively buttery IMO. (the shafts not the salesmen)

Sorry for the digression Whip.

That's what I thought too on but if u look at the bags of quite a few guys who are not sponsored for the their equipment they are playing the 69s titleists will be an inferior feel trust me, also stay away from the kbs unless u wanna launch it super high with high spin which I don't, I have had the kbs stiff and x stiff and dgs300 and x100 the verdict is the x100s have a much better flight feel better more consistent. Go with the 69s the last iron set you will ever need to buy i like how they look more every time I see them in the bag or look down on them when I'm hitting, I think it's the perfect blade.

Doesn't look so bad.

Slightly bent is ok , hyperextended ram rod straight or beyond straight when I goofed with it hurt my left elbow. Slightly bent can absorb more shock at impact. Something I had to do until my elbow healed. Could the bend be compensational for an old injury? Probably not, but its something that happened to me.

Interesting thanks Whip. Guys on the PGA Tour playing 69's? Nice to see for Mizuno fans. Didn't know the KB s launched higher with more spin compared to DG's.

What do you think about testing irons/shafts out on a Flightscope or Trackman? Hmmmm.

Once you get used to Mizzy its hard to leave the feel behind and go with other sticks.
