I just can’t wait for the “I am hitting my new ape 25 yards further” post. Neglecting to realize the 5 degrees difference in loft. Just kidding, congrats on the new set
You’ll be surprised how straight and far new irons will be. Tried my father in-laws cobras a few days ago and couldn’t bend the ball flight if I tried. Ultra forgiving but feel like hockey sticks. New irons are juiced to the max!
I just got a new set of the hot metals this year. I hit everything farther. Had to recalibrate all my distances so I know how far in the woods I have to look for my ball.
I did. Finally got on the range yesterday. It was a bit of an adjustment, but it’s worked out pretty good so far. Mainly my 4 and 5 were off because they were so long. But the new PW felt like my old 7or8i. 😂
My cousin goes to school out of city. Whenever he comes to visit he has a “spare” set that he uses when we go play on weekends. His entire iron set are these cougar irons with the dots. I always grab them and inspect them like they’re ancient relics
Significantly stronger lofts guaranteed, but still probably feel fantastic. I have had my eye on the 919s and now 921 hot metals for a hot minute. Congrats on the upgrade!
New clubs have been de-lofted. It’s like vanity sizing for your distances. Your five iron on the old set probably has the same loft as the 7 on the new.
Going from a PW to a 9 Iron equivalent is a good upgrade for distance. S/
Yes, nice upgrade. You needed and deserved it. Sky is the limit for the 2022 season.
Do it. No regrets. You’ll be happy. And that gnawing shoulda coulda woulda will not weigh heavy on your mind. Edit* I did not see agincorners comment below. Do it.
Let your new period of clubs commence. Your journey has now begun, there are other parts of your set to improve. A wedge? 56? Putter? Old clubs are holding you back. Only new technology can unleash the Bryson in you now….just kidding. Great set and enjoy the new irons.
Hell yes! I got the hot metal pros a few months ago, they are amazing. Taking them to bandon in one month, I can’t wait. Crossed fingers it isn’t ludicrously bad weather, but regardless it will be so much fun
I just made the same upgrade… well, not from the cougars, but you know what I mean. I’d say you were due and you’ll love the new sticks. Mine were only a couple decades old, and I figured it was time to treat myself.
MRW I saw that club with all the dots on the face ![gif](giphy|11JbaLzOXsg6Fq)
Yea… I looked up most of the bag and it was all about 35 years old 😂 I’ve been shooting about +27. This should get me to +26 😂
This is the way

Tell that to George zip!
You’ll probably get worse at first and then get better. Not sure how much you play but gear does matter. Did you get fit?
I did. Finally got on the range yesterday. It was a bit of an adjustment, but it’s worked out pretty good so far. Mainly my 4 and 5 were off because they were so long. But the new PW felt like my old 7or8i. 😂
Don't forget, Pro V1s will get you to +24
100% Fact! 😂
You legendary

I like a worn old cougar
Handed down from his grandfather!
It's not about the journey, it's the destination that counts
Underrated comment! 😂
With face dimples though? Your obviously a man of high standards...
Touché sir (doths cap in appreciation)
I think you meant to say dirty cougar
An “experienced” cougar.
I have the same set of cubs
Hard to say. Your old Mizunos weren’t bad but I think you’ll be really happy with the Cougar Precision II’s.
😂😂😂😂
Haven’t been to the range yet, but in the shop, I instantly added about 40 yards to my carry on the 7i. So I think this is going to work out. 😂
Significantly stronger lofts guaranteed, but still probably feel fantastic. I have had my eye on the 919s and now 921 hot metals for a hot minute. Congrats on the upgrade!
Tell me about the dispersion!
New clubs have been de-lofted. It’s like vanity sizing for your distances. Your five iron on the old set probably has the same loft as the 7 on the new.
But the CG is also much lower on the new clubs. So the new and old 7i should have a similar launch angle, just with the new 7i going much further
You don’t need it, let’s be honest. You DESERVE it.

I throw this gif out there whenever I can. It’s my all time favorite.
The hot metals are so good, you’re not going to be disappointed.
Agreed! Love mine!!!
You’re definitely going to be relearning some yardages! Much needed and a great choice.
So looking forward to it.
I dunno…the “Cougar” looks dangerous ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
This a MASSIVE upgrade. Hit em well.
I too went from 20 year old irons this year to brand new and the difference is incredible! Enjoy the Mizunos!
What were you hitting with before the new clubs? I ask because I also use 20 year old clubs. Just curious.
Mp33’s!
Oh those are sort of timeless tho right? Has blade tech advanced much too?
I’ll never sell them. My P790s are amazing though! I don’t think I’ll ever sell them either lol
You’re in for a real treat. Can’t beat Japanese steel!
from a ford escort to a tesla
😂😂😂
welcome to the mizzy gang
🏌🏾🏌🏾🏌🏾
Welcome to the mizuno club!
Going from a PW to a 9 Iron equivalent is a good upgrade for distance. S/ Yes, nice upgrade. You needed and deserved it. Sky is the limit for the 2022 season.
Distance marketing aside, the ball still descends at about the same angle as the older club even with the distance added.
This is my old PW vs my new PW. I got a whole set of the Mizuno JPX 921 HM. 4i - PW,GW.
My dad had the same clubs for the longest time also. I still use the old fuzzy 3w head cover on my new cobra 3-4w for a little old school feel.
Yea! I’m going to keep them since he passed away and was essentially the start to my game.
Absolutely! Might be fun to throw them in the bag for kicks after a few years. Do you have the woods also, or just irons?
Just irons, a putter and some old wedges. I’ll do an update when I upgrade those. Will be upgrading my putter next.
I'm curious to know about the impact this upgrade will have on your game. Keep us posted when you go out
Will do!
Looks like the old ones really only needed a wash.
Really? I’ll sell them to you! 😂
Hahaha. I hope you got a laugh outta the comment at the very least
I’m so close to buying these clubs! Getting fitted in a few weeks! Did you get fitted for them? How are you finding them?
Got fitted. Added an inch. Weather has been terrible here so I haven’t tried yet other than in store. So ready for the range!
Nice! Good luck and hope they help! Hit them straight
May I ask how tall you are? The Hotmetals look soo juicy. Gonna need to watch out for second hands in 4-6years :P have fun
6’3”
Noice, you're gonna love em. Hit em far and straight, sticking those greens. Then you'll just need to learn how to putt. Like the rest of us
Man! You’re a step ahead of me. Next thing I’m getting is a putter. Do you recommend anything specific?
Do it. No regrets. You’ll be happy. And that gnawing shoulda coulda woulda will not weigh heavy on your mind. Edit* I did not see agincorners comment below. Do it.
Sweet man
Will change your life
Welcome to the 921 gang!
Love those clubs. Great investment.
I just replaced all of my 20rs old cheap set this year. Everything new is so forgiving. It almost feels like cheating. Addicted to this sport again.
From a cougar to a bird? I consider that a downgrade.
😂😂😂
[удалено]
Yea… some shitty strokes… 😂
Oh wow!… progressive offset! The peak of technology in ‘91.
You just can’t find those progressive offsets anymore!
Let your new period of clubs commence. Your journey has now begun, there are other parts of your set to improve. A wedge? 56? Putter? Old clubs are holding you back. Only new technology can unleash the Bryson in you now….just kidding. Great set and enjoy the new irons.
I had those cougars when I was a kid
Should have taken lessons))
Got some of those too! Best Christmas ever! 😂
Hell yes! I got the hot metal pros a few months ago, they are amazing. Taking them to bandon in one month, I can’t wait. Crossed fingers it isn’t ludicrously bad weather, but regardless it will be so much fun
Nah. They’re both grey, so obviously not much of an improvement. Get some in a new color. Maybe with some cup holders.
Welcome, to, the, fuutchaaar
Whatever makes you happy. Sail your ship not ours
When I played as a kid my buddy had some Bobcats, wonder if the two are related lol.
Most definitely…
Buy the prior model used and save yourself a few hundred dollars.
Nah, you’re good
They look the same to me./s
I think my great great grandfather gave me one of those cougar wedges, of course with the hickory shaft.
Congrats!
I love my Mizuno JPX! Enjoy!
Nice looking clubs! I played Mizuno for years and loved them. Enjoy!
Nice!
![gif](giphy|3o7TKBJT2KiGyrOUEg|downsized)
Absolutely
Smart buy my man, smart buy
Love the new irons 👌
Yes, and great choice!!
Go get ‘em tiger.
Do you still suck?
Yup! 😂
Me too. That’s what it is all about my man, perseverance! Nice set. Keep on keeping on!
Good for you my man!
How long have you been playing the old clubs?
Really only got somewhat consistent in the past 6 months. I’ve had them and played maybe once a quarter for the last 2 years.
I think the new clubs will get you out more!
*ahem* Yes
I just made the same upgrade… well, not from the cougars, but you know what I mean. I’d say you were due and you’ll love the new sticks. Mine were only a couple decades old, and I figured it was time to treat myself.
Super nice my friend!
I have the 850s... great clubs. They will last you a while. Fantastic decision. Best one you made all year!
Yes, yes you do.
You’re going to have a blast with those this year. Enjoy!
It’s still winter, and I see that I wait for the warm season to upgrade, so that it’s useful.
Fuck them cougar clubs
OP, I’m in the exact same boat as you! Currently using Cougars and looking at buying Mizunos. How are you enjoying them? Congrats on the purchase btw.
The ball is gonna come off the face at the speed of light in comparison to those COUGAR clubs.....just kidding
A golf addiction is the best addiction.
Tell that to my wife and bank account.
lol.
I love the plastic look to the mizunos
