Attended the Mizuno Performance Centre at Gleneagles on Saturday to have a fitting for a new set of irons,
My DNA numbers were 71,6,5,2,7 shaft recommendations were XP105 R flex, Nippon Modus 105 R flex
& KBS Tour C-Taper Lite R flex,
As a comparison the last DNA fitting I had done in Sep., 2012 my numbers were 77,7,4,4,5 with +2 deg lie and +1/2" in the shaft length recommended shaft was Project X 5.5, but to be honest I never really got on well with that shaft and after a further fitting I changed to the shaft I play now the XP 105 R flex, and Having one of the suggest shafts fitted in my JPX 850's gave me a bench mark to compare the performance of the other two shafts against,
After discussions with the fitter and based on the DNA numbers Trackman data and his visual observations during the fitting I went with the JPX 900 Hot Metal range of irons fitted with KBS C-Taper Lite R flex shafts std length & Lie they gave me the best all round performance with a consistent 6 iron carry distance of 156-158 yards that's a gain of 6-8 yards of carry over the JPX 850 irons I play now,
After my fitting was concluded I got the chance to have a look round the Mizuno Tour truck and have a chat with the guys a great way to round off the day,
All in all an excellent and positive experience big thank you to Mizuno's Roland Fleming & Matt McIsaac who did my custom iron fitting and the guys on the tour truck,
Cheers John
