Hi fellow mizzy fans

HI,

Been a member for 4 months now, but it was at a time when i was looking to return to the good side.
Just bought my new set of MP62 black nickel irons. Coming tomorrow. Saturday cant come quick enough to get them in play.

Looking for the best advice on how to look after them, as im not rich and wont be able to afford another set for a long time, well until i retire? Dont mind headcovers at all, because the only noise worse than FORE on a golf course is clang, clang of clubs.

Read some of the posts on here and if DEEMAC reads this, "you crack me up with some of your comments, especially the book"

Welcome to the forum.

The best way to look after your clubs is first of all to use them and enjoy the purity of feel that you get with a well struck shot, from a Mizuno.

After each round or practice session, cleam the iron using a sponge, cloth or toothbrush as appropriate and then dry them off with a towel and leave them to air before putting head covers on.

I believe Mizunos deserve to be used and enjoyed.

Hi Wally!! Welcome to the forum...

Nice to see that you have enjoyed some of my posts. Thanks for that...

Just to echo Logie - I use headcovers, which I think is a huge factor in keeping the clubs pristine. If you choose this option, there are a couple of things to look out for...

Take the covers off the minute you get back home! Wash the club heads in warm water and use a toothbrush to clean out your grooves (BTW - this should only take a couple of minutes). Avoid using anything abrasive to clean your clubs!!!!

A quick dry off with a towel and the warm water you used to wash your clubs will have heated the club-head up so that when you stick the clubs back in the bag, the warmth in the club head will ensure that any residual moisture will evaporate quickly.

Keep them stored in a dry environment with the head covers OFF.

Don't forget to give your grips a good clean once in a while (every 5 - 10 rounds)!!

BTW - your new clubs will look fabulous in black nickel, however it WILL get scratched on the face and will start to dissappear on the face and the sole over time, there's nothing you can do about this, so don't let it get to you...

Other than that - enjoy using the best clubs on the market...

Thanks for the advice.

Got them yesterday. Driving range last night. Shermaned 8/10. But then got it sweet. What a feeling. WOW.

Another issue i have is i hit a 6 iron about as high as my mates hit a wedge. Really need to send them to Cumbernauld to get the loft and lie adjusted. Any idea how long this takes? Play every Sat and dont want to be without them. Or could it just be my swing. This has happened on every set of clubs ive had, and as much as my 6 iron lands soft because of the height, im loosing too much distance. Hit 6 iron about 145 YDS.

Thanks for the replies.

If you're hitting the ball high - it might not be the clubs!! Don't do anything rash with the clubs!!!

Adjusting lofts is really a LAST resort!!! Invest in a couple of lessons FIRST and find out why you are launching the ball so high. Then work on your swing over the winter with your new clubs and you will be ready for next season with your clubs in tact, and a SWING that will keep the ball down.

Look Here, They are Cheap Golf Clubs

Now golf is played on a wide area measured in hundreds of yards, and the distance to cover is intimidating all by itself to many players, especially women. Moving the golf ball of cheap golf clubs 200+ yards is a matter of technique, but it is a subtle technique consisting of timing, and proper form. Even the beginner has a clubhead speed in excess of 60 mph! Of course in addition to distance you still have to find the ball, so accuracy cannot be neglected. ishiner

Just a quick update.

Spoke to my pro and gave him charge of my new clubs with the spec from my custom fit previously at the national fitting centre.

1st time out- duffed a few by dropping in the downswing and getting the ground first.
2nd time out better. MUCH BETTER
3rd outing- WOW, now im used to the altered loft and lie, im really improving my GIR. Ball striking is superb.

Handicap be warned. YOUR GETTING IT NEXT SEASON. Im going to keep the practice up all winter and get whacked next year.

Mizzies are the best
