They Make 'em. I Buy 'em.
One of my goals before the end of this year was to reduce my iron sets down to only two. I did that a few weeks ago and shared with fellow THp'ers my delight in reaching that goal. Well, I have "fallen off the wagon" and today ran across a deal I just could not pass up.
I was, as usual just stopping by my local golf store to "look around" a bit. I passed by the pre-owned clubs and saw a set of Mizuno MX200 (5-PW) just sitting there. I had been wanting a set because I had heard all the rave reviews and many on the forum talking highly about them. Had to try them and instantly fell in love with them. My "guy" at the golf store (I beleive I can call him my guy b/c of the amount of money I have spent) started to do a fitting and we noticed they were 1/2 longer which is what I normally play and he put the tape on the bottom of the club and after hitting the lie board I was dead center. It was like they were made for me. I may have to go back and tweak some individual irons but for the most part they worked.
Of course I initially told him to hold them so I could think about it overnight. I went back a few hours later and said I gotta have them. We worked out a deal and I paid $200 which he and I thought was a great deal for current model year clubs. He had new ones on dispaly at $700. These clubs were in incredible shape, in fact when they were traded in the salesperson asked the owner if he was sure he wanted to trade these. Boy am I glad he did.
I didnt feel too bad going back against my original goal because these were such a good deal. So now I am back of up to three sets and just plan to keep them all and not try to winnow it down any more because it is obvious I can't handle it. :act-up:
Looking forward to playing these in the near future. I just had to share.
