So on my SIM Max i should check the settings and go in opposite direction of what the picture shows or this picture is for left hand adjustment? I know should be understandable but don’t want to make the game anymore confusing as it already is for us Lefties. I am thinking of going callaway in woods. At least know the tips have a line for left hand. My Taylormade tips don’t represent RH or LH. Have Ventus 5R in DR, 3W, 5W.

Something to think about; if your dad is strategically “old school”. Nippon Zelos 6 is a steel shaft at 68g. Zelos 7 averages 74g. I have tested both of them and dispersement is much better than most graphite I have recently tested. One big check mark why I haven’t invested in new irons. Only OEM that offers them even as an upgrade is Taylormade. I am waiting and talking with Cobra on the release of Tec-x iron set. Whatever you choose am sure your pops will be ecstatic with new clubs built strictly for him.

Tony, it might be a few months. But will definitely put up picks; green reads, speeds, on different green types if possible. Living in Texas there are only a few grasses that thrive lol. I do play a few courses that keep step meter in double digits.

Lefties. Been looking for quality gamer. Don’t want to wear down my Custom Scotty. Black lab offers lefty BL-3,BL-7 in left hand. Currently crafting a center shaft black onix 33”. Chip at Black lab priced at 375 plus 15 shipping. Get choice of shaft and personalize grip.

Before the lockdowns, I tested the MP-20 SEL irons. Sweet but probably more game than I got right now. Need a reboot lesson. Been watching some Mike Weir videos and following some webinar instructors. But not getting immediate feedback. Thinking of getting an AstroTurf Matt to get swinging during hiatus.

I am not a big box store advocate. Sure I test, or look for off season sales. But when it comes to upgrading or trading in. I go with smaller shops that remember who I am, left handed and loyal buyer.

Although I don’t watch cable TV. MGS is one of major golf world sources. It won’t be in our time but somewhere down the line a true left handed or more hopefully will change OEMs need to produce full range of golf equipment. Yes we love Phil. But he is right handed playing lefty in the back end of his career. Jordan Spieth is lefty playing right handed. No need to change for him. Mike Wier was a short stint in lime light. Enough of a rant. I sent a similar comment, article request to MGS writer JB. He has since forwarded it to MGS editor and owners for further research. Let’s hope we get included in further testing somewhere down the road.

Gents, appreciate the advice. I guess being told your left handed and we don’t have a very big selection for you to demo so many times. I guess you get the “numb no’s”. I seriously doubt they would swap out shafts of a club for sale. Or demo shafts tipped for TE. Either way worth a shot. Hit a F8+ with Hzrdus 5.5 (Yellow). Long club. Happy Range, course time if you get it. Texas went from drought to flooding creeks, reservoirs, lakes and Dams near peak stage levels in 2 months. Courses look great with no one on them to ruin fairways or greens.

QUESTION: Bassara or Graphite Design? Aftermarket of course. A shop up north of Austin has lefties Tour Exotics but they have the Bassara 42g lite installed. I have had to go to senior or regular flex since retiring from the Military with an injury. Left shoulder at that. I have always had a smooth rather than hard swing. 80-88 depends on pain level that day. Would it be worth the purchase of a driver and 3 wood with those shafts. Near new but in used section. Thanks for advice and help.

Golf galaxy has 1 major store since they closed the round Rock location. 183 and Capital of Texas highway location. Good luck.

Golf Galaxy in Austin has several ER. Didn’t look at exact numbers but a standard blade, like Cameron studio. Wider like Cameron Fastback, shallow extended back like ping ? Not sure that name. Last one was like Cameron future 5, no weight in middle just tear shapes on the ends. Happy hunting. I roll a Cameron custom shop I found at garage sale. Lady didn’t know what she had. And my everyday gamer is Piretti. Again, OfferUp sale. Wife(ex..) was writing her own country song ha... unloaded all the guys gear. Hunting, fishing, golf.

Does anyone have the new Hogan Equalizer wedges? Thinking of updating my wedges and just hesitated since I would be buying without trying. Don’t want the hassle and wife’s look if I send them back during 30 day trial. And I am not lucky enough to win the set they or MGS has offered. Yes they look great and like what I have read. But Mizuno TP4s are in my bag. No gripes. Just time to update. eBay, 2nd swing and Austin golf shops have discounts on SM6,7s. And if I can update the shafts and be considably under the $100.00 a club(300.00 for 3 wedges) I would rather go with something I know and already had my hands on. Thanks and apologize for War and Peace entry.

John Byron and ? Morgan. Need to come to terms with easy molds out there that can be converted to impress us lefties with their version metals.

Utility iron; not the driver irons!!!! Looking at improvement on 5 iron. I know (or am sure it's ego) vice proper swing and club selection. Looking to see if any lefty has had success with any of the new utility irons. #5(24-26) degree mainly. My bag: Titleist Driver-Wedge. 915h1 2hy set 18*. 3hy set 21*. 5 iron consistent. 165-180. But was thinking the Srixon U45/U65 irons; among others, MP MMC flu hi, ping crossover. Being lefty and a traditionalist. Makes it hard to find them all to demo at Golf Galaxy, Dicks, or Golf courses here In Austin Texas. Thank you in advance. Apologies for War and Peace thread.
