Thanks. I should actually update this post with my bag. Forgot to add that. Ever since I saw a guy at the local club with a set of Mizuno clubs I fell in love with the look but didn’t want to shovel out money for a new set as a beginner. When I came across these used JPX 900s I thought they were perfect for me and jumped on them immediately.

How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? started golfing about 3 years ago when a couple guys from work invited me out. I probably play more than they do now. Haha. Lately been averaging around 80. Don’t really know handicap but my guess is like 19-20? What do you love about golf? Im a pretty competitive person and I love the challenge of getting better at something new. I also like being just as good if not better than those I play with. If I play with more skilled players I would totally up the effort. But most of all golf has been a way to connect with buddies and really decompress from busy and stressful life. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Looking for guidance and support along the way. I don’t really know anyone with a ton of golf knowledge and I am eager to learn more. Do you already know any other Spies? Nope Where are you from? What is your home course? Originally from Georgia but currently In Santa Rosa, CA. The NorthBay area. No home but generally play an executive course in Sebastopol, CA. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Best about the course up here is the variety. Within an hours drive I can play near the ocean, in the desert, wide open space, fancy courses, and even amongst the redwoods. It’s amazing. Worse thing is price and the torrential rain recently has made many courses terrible. Maintenance has not been great. What do you do for a living? In the medical field as a clinical pharmacist. How’d you pick your user name? Easy… it’s my name WITB Mizuno JPX 900 irons Mizuno JPX 923 GW Cleveland CBX Zipcore 54 Wedge Ping Sigma G Tyne Putter Titleist 975J Driver (Taking suggestions for upgrade and any woods/hybrids to add to the bag)

Got a short list being I took up golf not too long ago. Vintage Titleist Accuflo Plus 3-P Mizuno JPX 900 HM 6-P Mizuno JPX 923 HM GW Cleveland CBX Zipcore

Picked up a used Ping Sigma Tyne putter 35” but it’s pretty heavy. Head weight 370g. Current grip is Ping PP60 Pistol Grip and website says these weigh 55g. Much easier for me than previous blade putter, but the weight feels like it gets away from me pretty easy. Wanted to counterweight a bit to give it a lighter feel. It needs a new grip anyway and planned to just get a heavier grip, but then was reading about optimal swing weights and using counterweights to zero in on perfect swing weight. Seemed like too much for me to worry about. I am wondering how important it is to have a particular swing weight vs just improving the feel for me without being so technical.

$350 for irons and $50 for putter. I felt it was a great price.

You’re not buggin. I had to go back and edit the post. It was a typo. And thanks. All same DG shafts. Pretty sure they were shaft pulls but don’t mind since I got the set for about $350 in above average condition. Thinking I may need to go stiff anyway so they may not stay for long.

Thanks for catching that. Yes 900s not 921s. The guy I got them off of replaced the shafts himself and used different ferrules. I’ll be on the look out for a club head flying through the air. Haha!

Super excited about a new set of clubs I picked up on Facebook Marketplace. Made friends with a local reseller and plan to keep him in my back pocket for small needs here and there. Anyway, grabbed a set of Mizuno JPX 900 HM irons with R Flex Steel Shafts, JPX 923 GW, and Ping Sigma G Tyne putter. Huge upgrade from my ‘83 Titleist Accuflo Plus irons. At the range today noticed a significant improvement in distance and consistency. Putter was butter. Lastly, grabbed CBX Zipcore SW that has been the easiest wedge I have ever put in my hands. It is almost idiot proof how forgiving it is. This group of clubs should easily make me a solid mid-handicapper. Can’t wait to hit the links with these. Wonder if I should put my hat in on some local tournaments?

Spent some time at a new range with the TopTracer App. Awesome app that gives you live info about performance. Upgraded my clubs so this was perfect to help get to know them and work on getting comfortable with new clubs. I feel like I am going to warm up quick to these JPX 921 & 923s
