Yes

Old fart Smithers here again.

Banging on about how it was better in the old days....

The Classic 4 Yorkshireman sketch, sitting around in Tuxedos... smoking Cuban Cigars and drinking Champagne...

Aye.. we come a long way ... but ma dad was poorer than your dad etc etc..

Anyway please bear with me....

Firstly I think that all of the technology and fitting etc is brilliant now... as a kid I played with clubs with the wrong shafts, the lofts and lies were all wrong.

Matching set??? Ah had all different bloody makes of irons ... had to use a bloody set of 4 x 1 irons with old drain pipes as shafts. Had to bloody bend the shafts over a anvil to get any loft on them😆😆😆 You try telling that to kids nowadays!!!

Dad told me - son you wont get anywhere in this game with lah dee dah clubs... Had to use an old frying pan on a stick as a Driver..

Anyway...

Big fan of fitting but... ultimately it is what FEELS right.

The pros have fiddled about with loft, lies, shafts, lead tape on every bit and position on the club since the days of Young Tommy and Bobby Jones. Nothing is new it is just done properly for the average golfer now.

So great for fitting, but it is all feel at the end of the day.

Love this forum, love Mizuno best irons in the world, the Samurai forging secrets, love the banter. ...

Shoot me down and give your opinions fellow Muzzy afficionados

But if I was Billy Microsoft I would have a set of these just for the hell of it.

"You are shit golfer and cant even break 100, so why spend $30 grand on a set of clubs???!!"

Err.... because I can

Mmm.... ooh... sorry... I need to go to the lavatory... 😇😇😇

Blade pornography..... 🤪🤪🤪

R300s work just fine if you can bench press less than 200kg.

Using a shaft that is too stiff might massage your alpha male ego with the fellas in the the bar but it wont help your game.

So totally agree with you dude.

Their application of gold rings in the ferrule and stuff like that is absolutely ludicrous to me. I hit one of their lower end 5 irons a couple times at Planet Golf and one time felt wonderful, but I hit the ball off the toe the next shot and it felt no differently than any other badly hit shot. Their lower priced stuff is essentially the same club without all the gold. I just don't get it.

I did alright in my working life, but I'm no millionaire. Even if I had more money than God, I couldn't justify a $27,000 set of clubs to myself. You can't convince me they would make me one iota better.
