Par4QC Gotta love a company that is not afraid to 'go back'.....triangular shape!

Their ad says it's "new". I'm old, but I still remember that last triangle-shaped drivers. This ain't new.

    These are easier to hit than they look. Great forged feeling. Old school lofts, soft landing shots. PapaD approved.

      sdandrea1 To be honest, even though you might think game improvement is the way to go, some of us, me included hit the old school shaped/sized irons better. If you have any kind of skill level like you do Steve, I am not surprised you hit these irons better than a set of blobby wide soled Acers.

          Interesting concept. Always thought shovels were helping me. I don't care enough about scoring so much anymore. Really just enjoying the game and messing with equipment and the buddies. I'm gonna keep these around. I really like the 8-SW.

              Par4QC yikes....I thought the triangular/ cone head drivers were a thing of the past 🤔. It should be called the Marge Simpson! More proof that it ain't about looks. If it performs I'd get over it, but damn is that FUCKING UGLY!

                sdandrea1 Think about it, some of these wide soled huge offset irons are designed to correct a fault or 7. If you’re any good and don’t need the correction, the wide sole isn’t going to help your already good turf interaction that you are used to creating. And a huge offset is designed to help the ball go left. But if you don’t have that problem… you will now with a huge offset.

                A couple time I went on trips and used rentals. I remember using Callaway x hots and Ping G series irons. I had to adjust to keep it to a tiny draw. It was very consistent… everything went left but I had to adjust for it.

                If you’re finding the center of the clubface, making good contact and no direction issues, blades are fine. You might lose a little distance but you’re not playing a long course so you’d be fine.

                    Pretty good here from 8-SW. Always have some issues with 6&7.

                      Mizuno ST-X PLTNM 230 Driver

                      I grabbed one of these from Maple Hill on a Black Friday deal at $149. Got the UST Helium shaft at Senior flex. It's 1/2" longer than my Cally Paradym X. Don't know if it's lighter. It sounds and feels different than the Cally but has a very solid tone and feel. Accuracy is rated a bit below the Cally (which is unbelievably straight) but I'm still hitting fairways. It's a REALLY good value at $149.

                        sdandrea1 So did you sell it yet? No better than anything else and certainly not going to beat your Callaway. That shaft though is something you should look around for. It’s an awesome one. Pair that with the Cally head..

                        If I were you I’d take the adapter off the Helium and put a Callaway one on it and sell the Mizuno head only with the adapter.

                            Thought about that. 👍

                              backinit I picked up the STZ 220 from them about 2 years ago and it’s unbelievably forgiving. It scored very high for forgiveness in the 22 MGS most wanted testing and it’s proven true for me. On the 9 holer I play most often, hole 9 is an elevated tee, drivable par 4 (259). Hole 1 runs parallel to the right and then a road is next to that. One time I hit one so far off the toe that I felt the head twist and I saw the ball headed in the direction of the road across both fairways. I legitimately thought that the hotel parking lot across the road was in play. I’ll be damned if the thing didn’t hook back toward the green. I didn’t see it down but assumed it ended up near the forward tee box on hole 1 but when I got there I couldn’t find it. My playing partner gave a shout as it was in the green-side bunker. It must have hooked 100 yards or more

                                Love my Mizuno STx, but it is the latest version, so they can't be had THAT cheaply.

                                  Mine could be had for $135 shipped! Has 14 shots on it. Minty fresh. Head only with headcover and tool $100 shipped.
