Huh!!  I get the same thing.  I thought it was the LH club equipment only.

LOL most of the stuff I look at it will say Reduced like 20 % for quick sale. I have not bought anything off duh bay for years now. Last thing I "bought" was funny. I put in to buy the Jones bag I have now. Got a PM on WRX asking if it was me? Yeah I told the guy. He pulled the ad off the Bay and sent me the bag free because he only wanted like $25 at the time plus shipping. I did make him take my money for the shipping prices. We have done quite a few trade deals in the past. Last thing I bought on line was from one of my buds on FB on Forged Club Appreciation. About 2 years ago I bought another FC=4000 11 iron to match the one in my set of FCs. I love those wedges---- I deal only with Money Orders and a lot of us guys deal on trust. Most guys now deal with Pay Pal or Vemmo and do not do FB pay either. Too many Government snoops got their noses in our business

Catching up on this thread....

Y'all are making me miss my old Toyota Supra, with the inline 6.  Thankful it wasn't a turbo...   LOL

 

My wife had one with the Turbo DOHC 6 and as SOP for her she wrecked it. Do not know if you know or not that engine was a reverse engineered DOHC Jaguar engine. That thing would fly. I bought it from the original owner and it had sat for like 5 years or so because he got in bad health. That was one running SOB. I kicked many a hot Mustang and Camaro's butt with it and it ate Z-71 pickups butt for breakfast lunch and dinner.

I didn't know about the Jaguar connection, interesting. 

Crazy torque from that thing.  I had 245s on the rear, but it would break loose taking a curve if I wasn't careful on dry pavement.  If it was wet, I'd have to slow down to avoid fishtailing thru the corner.

Those days are gone.  😉

Well.....  I did it.  I hate eBay!   I probably can't hit it, but I thought it would be fun to have it around to play with.  Might need a lesson from Jack.

A MacGregor MT Tourney Custom 1-iron; belonged to Lionel Hebert, a 5 time PGA Tour champion and winner of the 1957 PGA Championship.  How could I pass this up??

MT-2.jpeg.315e65bbca79b013e48f185925c3e5a4.jpeg

Took the 1-iron to my practice session today.  Well, I can hit it... not very high up in the air and not very far... oh yeah, and it hurt!!  Must have missed the sweet spot.  🤣  The shaft is waaaay too stiff for me. It's in such beautiful shape that I don't want to fiddle with it, so I guess it becomes decoration in my new hitting bay when it's finished.

PXG 0211 3H with PX Cypher 50g in 5.0 flex .. finding I'm liking lighter, and slightly more flexy, shafts (eg. vs a 60g 5.5).

This one has a really nice solid whack when you catch it right, and seems to be pretty easy to hit. Been struggling to reliably hit a FW .. 5W or 7W .. reliably so for now 😉 this is my "long" (non-tee) club.

Same shaft I have in my Callaway driver, 3W, HeavenWood, and 9W.  Seems to fit my swing pretty well.

That is how she wrecked the thing too fast skidding on a wet road and I had new Pirelli tires on it too. Now days she has the sedate Mini Van----- She has wrecked 3 cars since we have been here 20 years one was not her fault---- I told her when she wrecked the Yoda that at the time in 10 years on the beach she wrecked more cars here than I did all the years I raced on the track.

Picked up this guy for a trade. Got rid of a 60° wedge that's been doing me wrong so I think I traded up. It's the other guy's problem now! 😜

Was fit for this shaft when I was looking at the Cobra RadSpeed last year. I ended up getting the Mizuno ST-Z and the Blue was not an option so it's been on my mind. Can't wait to get the tip on and plug this in. 

Can't say I'm too impressed with whoever put the grip on though. We'll see how long my OCD can put up with it.

Ordered a combo set of Srixon ZX5 and ZX7 irons yesterday. I am a Mizuno iron fanboy and have never hit anything that I liked as much as them, but I tried these for the first time last week and after putting them head to head against mine I couldn't turn them down. Really could've gone with ZX7 only but the ZX5 irons for the 5 and 6 iron were so good. Same thin-ish topline for both sets and they're pretty compact which I have been missing since going from MP's to JPX.

If I were buying on looks alone at address, I would have done the same exact as you.  I couldn’t love the (subjective) feel as much as you but my goodness the shape is perfection.

Which shafts did you select?

Ordered a combo set of Srixon ZX5 and ZX7 irons yesterday. I am a Mizuno iron fanboy and have never hit anything that I liked as much as them, but I tried these for the first time last week and after putting them head to head against mine I couldn't turn them down. Really could've gone with ZX7 only but the ZX5 irons for the 5 and 6 iron were so good. Same thin-ish topline for both sets and they're pretty compact which I have been missing since going from MP's to JPX.

I have the same combo set and love them, I almost wish I just did the SX7's through out the whole set, or at least to the 5 and leave the 4 alone.  I was fit into the Modus 105 and haven't had any issues. 

Ping G430 Max 9* turned up to 10* in draw setting X-Stiff Ping Tour Chrome 2.0 60

Ping G425 5w X-Stiff Ping Tour 70

If I were buying on looks alone at address, I would have done the same exact as you.  I couldn’t love the (subjective) feel as much as you but my goodness the shape is perfection.

Which shafts did you select?

The feel obviously wasn't like my Mizuno's but in the ZX7 it was close. I stuck with my trusty Project X LZ 6.0 shafts. Thankfully they had them in stock and should have my clubs built within a week! The last time I bought another iron that I liked I was back to my Mizuno's in a couple months but I think I'll be sticking with these for a while. If not I'll get an entire set of JPX 921 Tours with no 921 Forged unless it's the 4 and 5 iron.

You have enough control over your OCD to not have fixed the grip already? You are stronger than I am sir.

Paid $50 to keep the demo Sub70 849D I had been trying out. At least the head was brand new when I got it, so it worked out to be a total price of $250.

Finally the GG near me got Z-Star Diamond in, so I went and grabbed a dozen. Ballnamic recommended this for me with 4 separate data sets so let's see if it's any better than the regular Z.

PXG 0211 3H with PX Cypher 50g in 5.0 flex .. finding I'm liking lighter, and slightly more flexy, shafts (eg. vs a 60g 5.5).

This one has a really nice solid whack when you catch it right, and seems to be pretty easy to hit. Been struggling to reliably hit a FW .. 5W or 7W .. reliably so for now 😉 this is my "long" (non-tee) club.

Same shaft I have in my Callaway driver, 3W, HeavenWood, and 9W.  Seems to fit my swing pretty well.

I have it in my 4H, and 5-DW. I’m liking it a lot more than the MMT shafts I had in my PXGs.

@cksurfdude Here’s a little secret about that Cypher 50… the 5.0 isn’t 50g, it’s 59g. The 5.5 is 61g and the 6.0 is 62g. First time I saw that online, I thought it was a misprint, but it was confirmed to me by PXG and Cleveland sales reps.

BTW if you’re enjoying the lighter more flexible shafts, when you have a chance, demo a driver with either the Distanza, Bassara or nvs orange in A flex. They’re all around 42-45g.

I gained a little over 20 yards carry down here below sea level just by switching from regular flex Alta to a Distanza in my G425.
