solution at long last! Again, thanks for the input I received here.
First, I keep my Titleist "woods":
Driver 905T with Titleist reg. graphite
3-Wood 980F 15*
5-Wood 980F 19*
New clubs just added:
Mizuno CLK FLI-HI 20* (This is a great hybrid. Replaces 19* TM Resc.)
Reg flex shaft steel superlite
Mizuno MP-67 irons 4-PW
True Temper Dynamic Gold Superlite with Sensicore Reg flex (R300)
Mizuno MP R Series Chrome 54* with 10* bounce (same shaft as MP-67's)
Mizuno MP R Series Chrome 58* with 10* bounce (same shaft as MP-67's)
Keeping my old putter---NC VooDoo (I did give it a new Winn putter grip.)
All of my clubs now have Golfpride DUROMID grips except for the putter.
I had the 4-iron bent one degree stronger which spaced all irons equally as to loft. It also closed the gap between the 4-iron and the 20* hybrid.
I hit the 5-wood somewhat farther than the hybrid, so I have everything covered pretty nicely from 58* lob wedge to the driver.
One of the best things for my game has been the using of the superlite shafts in the wedges as well as the MP-67 irons. I am certain that I have more feel because of this, and full shots with both wedges seem so much easier. The guiding principle has been to try to get things as seemless from one club to the next as possible.
I made my shafts one half inch longer in the irons and wedges. I am six-foot, one inches tall with average length arms, and this has allowed me to have better posture. I was warned that I might hit some fat shots, but that has not been the case. True, I have only hit about 200 range balls and played only 15 holes (one over), but I do not think the transition will be difficult at all. These clubs were custom fitted by a really good fitter, and if you have yet to be fitted by someone like him, I think you are in for a treat when you come around to doing that.
I cannot put into words how pleased I am with the Mizuno MP-67 irons. Actually, I am just as please with the two wedges and the hybrid. My all-time favorite club as far as looks goes has always been a Powerbilt Citation 5-Wood, but the Mizuno hybrid may have taken that classic club's place.
A final word about the wedges. The MP-R series are rounded rather than tear drop in shape. Somehow this makes the two wedges look exactly the same except for the loft. The grinding that has been done to the sole is functional making shots from uneven lies around greens a bit easier.
So that is my solution, and I am sticking to it. Sincerely, Cypressperch
