Mizuno Clubs / Shaft Optimizer

[ipb123]

 I recently had a fitting done at Club Champion and the results of the shaft comparison were non conclusive. My 6 iron swing speed is ~100mph, and I am pretty steep (frequency take big divots). From a stiffness profile standpoint (butt, mid section, tip, etc) is there anything to consider for a steep swinging player? My miss consistently Is an over-draw / sometimes double cross. I also tend to hit irons pretty high and straight (I don’t work the ball too much). I’m in my late 20s and have been playing with MP60 project x6.0 since I was 15. They’ve felt boardy to me over the years hence why I wanted to give DGx100 a try. I’m scared that leaving project X is a mistake because I will miss the stability.

I hit the shaft optimizer today and swung the different irons outdoors. Looking for guidance on my numbers. I will say I liked the feel of project x the best (straighter, more consistent ball flight). Do the metrics support that this decision is okay?

Head Speed - 105.67

Tempo - 8.0

Toe Down - 5.33

Kick Angle - 6.67

Release Factor - 3.0

Questions about the Optimizer get asked all the time. When it spits out the top three choices (and even the others), it's up to you to get them in your hands and see what feels best and what gives you the performance that is desired. It really is a great tool, and don't overlook the club length and lie angles spec's since they are spot on. My numbers are similar to yours (except my SS on it was low 90's) and I got put in the Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 and am happy.

There's a quite a few threads about the Mizuno Optimizer and the consensus is that it's spot on. Like Hammer22 said, the final choice is going to be based on your experience trying out the recommendations.

I have no knowledge of what your numbers mean, but when i used the Optimizer, i found a set with the recommended shaft (well the only one I could remember) Modus 120 X. found a set with those shafts. I had been using S400 for years. It was immediate how much i enjoyed the change. and got rid of some nagging body aches with the lighter recommended gram shaft.

I would recommend finding a set with one of the three options and see how they work for you.
