Hi everyone, New to Mizuno and the board.
I guess my story starts back in June when I started playing golf at the ripe age of 37!! (bit of a late starter
) A good friend of mine restarted the game and joined his local club and asked if I wanted to come and have a bash... hack would have been a better word!!
I bought an old set from him of Ping G2's 3-LW and had a fantastic day... didn't play great but enjoyed myself all the same. Went a few more times over the coming weeks and found myself hooked! The golf was getting better.... I joined the club and started to play 3 times week and dropped from a 28hcp to 14 (how I long for the light nights to return)
I found out the clubs I'm using were a custom set made for someone almost a foot smaller than me and its been... Interesting to say the least using them... So I was in the market for something new.
Fast-forward to The British Masters.
I found myself standing inline at the Mizuno stand just wanting to hit some balls after watching the pro's, I stepped up and got given a 850 Forged 7 iron. Not expecting anything I swung away and hit the sweetest shot I've ever played!!! I couldn't believe how good it felt, the sound.... I hit a 2nd and again just like the first it was unreal! I truly feel in love with this club..
From that moment on I was sure these clubs were for me, but had to be sure... (its a large investment when I have a wife and 2 kids at home) so I went to hit other clubs (most of them to be fair) against the 850... NOTHING came close on the feel or the data... I was sold!!! Ordered and got fitted on the 1st Nov and just waiting for the heads to come into stock and the clubs to be built... So I have to use my horrible pings for 2 more weeks at least before I can really start playing golf...
