Time to upgrade my iron set and driver
After being playing for about a year already, I think it is time for me to upgrade my golf gear. I have traded off my forgiving Winston DI7 iron set with Mizuno MP 62 irons (4 – 9.PW) MP62 irons was said to be "2009 Mizuno Equipment" recently launched in UK/US on 9Sep08. http://www.todaysgolfer.co.uk/Shared/PageTemplates/Article.aspx?id=24114
It really feel good feel when the club strike the ball but I know that I have to go to the driving range often to get use to this new irons set.
Meanwhile, I also got for myself a new driver as my swing speed has increased from 77 mph to about 80 mph. The former super launch Gemini II driver with 14* loft which has t
remendously worked well was replaced by another KZG new SPX high launch 12* driver. So far I have played a few rounds with SPX460 driver and found it given me a little extra distance as compared to my 1st driver. (The first driver has given me almost straight line drive…which works well for a new beginner). I am not sure whether to sell it yet but if the price is right, I may consider departing this good driver. What is so wonderful about KZG is that it is a custom fitted, so you can select suitable clubhead and shaft that matches your swing style and speed.

I shall keep my 33” Titleist Scotty Cameron Studio Style Newport 2 putter. I think this is so far still the best on the market.
The advantages for a shorter guy or those who prefer a shorter putter length is that you do not need to shorten or modify your putter length if you choose Newport 2 putter has it came with wider range of putter length of 33”, 34” and 35” with different head weight. That is why I love so much about this putter.

Below are some write-up on Scotty Cameron putter, MP62 irons and KZG SPX driver:-
Scotty Cameron Studio Style
By combining the finest milled stainless materials with precision inlay technology, the Studio Style™ line of putters provide superb feel and sound for a soft yet responsive touch. A pure, high grade machined inlay of German Stainless Steel® (GSS) is attached to the precision milled Studio Stainless Steel body through a special vibration pad, and the entire inlay is surrounded by an elastomer cushion to further enhance the soft feel. The Studio Style line features two body styles, the softer flowing lines found in the Newport and Newport 1.5 and the crisp, boxier lines of the Newport 2 and Newport 2.5 models. Two neck variations are available, a square plumbing neck with a full shaft of offset, and a shorter flare neck with only a half shaft of offset.

Mizuno MP62 iron
Launch date in US and UK: 09Sep08.
The MP-62 is a Tour-Ready design based on the most requested adjustments and prototypes from Mizuno's Tour Workshops.
Minimal offset and a versatile sole plate inspired by Luke Donald's personal grind ensures crisp ball striking, while the centrally located COG* and consistent sweet spot height dictates a neutral left / right bias.
The Tour-Ready profile is complemented by a Dual Muscle enhanced feel, developed following research into vibration and frequency analysis. Custom set build available from 3-PW.
Tech Spec
-----------
Tour-Ready design: Aggressively cambered mid-sole for crisp ball striking.

KZG Introduces SPX Driver
Equipment Review:KZG SPX Driverby Jeffrey Reed, Editor, LondonOntarioGolf.com
We at LondonOntarioGolf.com have a soft spot for North Hollywood, California-headquartered KZG – “the #1 Custom ProLine.” We’ve raved in the past about the Gemini and Gemini II drivers, and their explosive distance. I used the Gemini driver en route to a course-record 62 (-8) at Caradoc Sands Golf Club here in southwestern Ontario.
The latest KZG big dog to make tracks across our editorial desk is the SPX Driver. Chalk up another win for KZG. Listen, this company knows how to manufacture some of the prettiest sticks in the ‘biz, including the always-popular Evolution Irons. But I truly believe, what makes this company stand out amongst the pack in terms of equipment is its line of drivers.
The SPX Driver had some big shoes to fill, following in the footsteps of the Gemini and Gemini II, and the adjustable weight-featured drivers from KZG – the GF 4 and GF 460. The SPX gets two thumbs up from this KZG aficionado.
Here’s the skinny on this new big dog. I tested the SPX 460 LL (Low Loft), 9 degrees, with an extra stiff Aldila NVS 75 graphite shaft aiming to produce a mid-trajectory. First, let me say the shaft and clubhead match are ideal. Combined with the Lamkin CrossLine grip, the club fit my swing and my eye as if it had been in my bag for years.
KZG president Jennifer King says, “The SPX Driver is designed to provide the ideal combination of precision and power. It is preferred by players for its outstanding performance and value.” No doubt, players i.e. skilled, low-handicap golfers will best benefit from this club, but it does provide enough forgiveness for mid-handicap golfers, too. And the key, I think, is the combination of the unique sole design, plus the forged, heat-treated titanium face.
Here’s some advice when teeing up the SPX 460 driver: tee it a bit higher than you normally would. The reason: this aerodynamic club features a raised sole plate. It produces enormous drives, not to mention confidence off the tee. When the pill hits this club, it delivers a dense sound which is pleasing to the ear – it’s not tinny like so many of the square-faced and even traditional 460cc drivers on the market. The other members of your foursome will bend their necks admiring the distance and accuracy of your drives – not the oddness of your driver’s sound – when you hit the SPX 460 driver.
With a MSRP of $329 US, the SPX 460 driver is sure to measure up to many of today’s higher-priced drivers. For better players who can make the ball dance with a face or draw, this driver fits the bill. It’s also one of the prettiest big sticks we’ve tested, too, thanks to the Midnight Black head colour and fine satin sole finish, with brushed satin face. It’s a traditional-looking club with modern technology.
