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.

When I pass the National Teaching Boards next year, or feel like I did, I have my eye on some JPX's of course, I will get Lynn to fit me at the Swamp.
The salesperson at Golfsmith was vaguely Canadian! LOL

City,
Best of luck with your National Board exams. That is really a big deal in the teaching world and should make you a coveted commodity. You would, of course, retain your rights to "oddity" as well.
One of my high schoolers was fit for a new driver at one of those big box golf stores. He came with an R shaft and hit it all over the ball park. This is a kid with ss range of upper 90's to 106. I sent him back for a real shaft.
Good luck this weekend on the course, Pal.

Thanks Jerry, I will try to reduplicate the smooth 2 over you recently shot!

Ummm,  94!
What I did wrong-went for every putt!, Forgot to hit wedges 1/2 way to hole 7 times.
Forgot to putt my chips, and putts close to the hole.
Impact Fix, Delayed Pivot/no Pivot, Level left wrist, RFT below shoulder, drop the elbow to return to Impact fix got me close enough to get super greedy!
Going out tomorrow morning to putt my chips and putts!

Decided on a pattern almost...
Whip, I am enjoying watching your swings. I was tired of being 40 yards behind one of my former club champions yesterday and decided to go to a more automatic trigger.
RFT'd the club-head back from mid-body hands, tracing and popped my right knee to the inside quadrant of the ball and though I missed the dead solid middle of the fairway by about 30 feet left, I had gained about 30 yards.
That automatic trigger gave me a lot of confidence as I played and simply forgot to open the club-face to compensate for the roll of the club face. I also forgot to square my shoulders as I putted and hooked a lot of makeable 10' putts.
It's very cool not having to worry about the down stroke and getting a little extra distance. Lynn was right to work with me to get my lower body active. I'm starting to feel very balanced though my left leg is almost 1.25 " than my right leg. I had avoided to much lower body movement but the RFT let's me go up to Acquired Motion and feel very balanced and relaxed. One of our former club pros commented to another of our foursome that he should try to be as balanced in his shots as I am.

Current swing keys
Keep head still no swiveling or tilting with the neck, practice with a tee between teeth, seems simple but don't let the picture you see at address move around
Feel like chest stays high, proud posture, as tall and close as possible
Extensor action
Stance / shoulder alignment check
Ball position check
Passive right arm, left arm swinging action only
Swing radius shorten up overall length
Constant hand speed, effortless motion
Soft legs
