I am about a 7 and just pulled the trigger on a new set of Mizuno Mx300 irons. I have played the Callaway x-14 Pro's for about 4 or 5 years (however long they have been out.) I wanted to uprgrade and did a lot of research on the internet on new irons. I eventually chose the Mizuno MX300's. I have never hit a forged club before, so am a little scared that they may be too much for me. I got them in the mail yesterday, and they are sweet looking. I think my first impressions are that they are smaller and slightly heavier. It was raining outside, but I had some range balls laying around the house, so I went outside to hit some of those in the yard. I just couldn't wait. Now I wish I had waited because I was not happy with the result I got in the yard. I just spent 600 and now I'm already second guessing myself.
I'm sure it was just the rain, yard grass (weeds), etc. How should I go about getting used to these new clubs. Just start playing with them or go hit a bunch of shots at a range? How long should it take me to get them down? My standard ball flight is a slight draw, will that change with these clubs because of the less offset. I hardly ever miss right with My X14's, but pushed several right yesterday in the yard. They seem to fly very high also, of course I had no perspective, since I was hitting into a field. I just want to do the changeover the best way possible to give me every chance to be successful with them. I know it's way too early to panic...........but I would appreciate any advise on getting used to the new irons.
