It's nice to read the various comments but you must remember that most of the readers are a 10+ golfer. We need to hear suggestions about clubs that will help us lower this number. Also, a lot of your readers are in the over 60 group and need different info than yournger players.

Another win for Bettinardi Golf!

I'm not surprised he's not playing Mizuno wedges...I played them for almost 10 years and thought they were quite good. UNTIL I tried the Vokey Spin Milled wedges - they're so much better than the Mizunos - it's not even close.

No Mizuno wedges? They make good ones. Comparable with Cleveland and Titleist.

I have a mixed set of Pings: G10 (3,4,5); i10 (6,7); S-57s (8,9,PW); Cleveland CG-14 (52, 60)... This mixed set allows for workability up front and forgiveness way back. Knowing how to shape a shot comes with time but we all can use a little give here and there too! Remember, ultimately it's not the arrow but indian.

Ike, too bad you you chose to belittle Mike for his thoughts instead of seeing the validity in his post. First off, anyone who has ever purchased a golf club knows full well you can buy individual irons and woul d not need three sets. Secondly, it is no secret that most amatuers have a harder time with longer clubs, therefore could use the additional forgiveness in those clubs. This theory has become so popular that, in fact, there are several manufactures who are creating sets this way from the factory. Next time, stop being such a cynic and maybe you will learn something.

Yea Mike, that's a good idea. Lets all buy 3 sets of different clubs even though they don't know how to swing one set correctly yet.

I really like how he sets up the iron set. He chose to have hybrid-like MX-900 long irons and half cavity back MP-60 for mid irons and MP-32 for short irons. It is nice combination of power, accuracy and workability. Many amateurs would have been benefited with this type of combo.
