well, if only @dlow206 and I were remotely close to the same specs  He usually is 1/2" short and flat where i am 1/4" long and 3* upright.

Not a problem reshafting and building to your spec…

Here's the chart I was talking about, it's from 2020 I believe after the JPX21 line was released.  I think it will hold true to the current Mizumo Pro and JPX23 lineup as well.  With the addtion of the Hot Metal HL probably being slotted at the very top right after the Hot Metal.

For those who haven't followed the Mizuno naming convention going from MP to Mizuno Pro they would be

MP20 MB = Mizuno Pro 22

MP20 MMC = Mizuno Pro 223

MP20 HMB = Mizuno Pro 225

 

 

So if im between 16 and 20, i guess that means i should buy a blended set

[Share your Shot/Hole Of The Day!]

Was playing a course I have never played, with some co-workers today. Its actually three separate 9 hole courses. After we completed 9, we decided to try to get in a few more holes. So this is hole 1 on the second course. We decided not to keep score since we were going to only play 2 more holes before it was going to get dark.

It was a dogleg left and since we weren't going to keep score on the hole, I decided to take the riskiest line possible. Need to fly it at least 220 carry or so to clear those bunkers. If I was playing for score, no chance I take that line. All sorts of bad things could happen: hit a snapper in the water, top it in the water, etc. 

I just went up, took a big cut, hit a fade and from my vision, i thought it barely cleared the bunker. We drove up to look by the bunker and couldn't find the ball. Then I looked down the fairway, it was 40 yards further down the fairway.

Nice!!  You left out the part that Monte helped make that happen.    The backswing issue must be fixed!!!

Definitely haven't fixed the backswing issue, but I have made some progressing on how body parts need to be move to get hands deep at the top without going way inside on the takeaway. not saying i do it right, but at least i have some better understanding. 

[Dlow206 does away with double bogeys]

almost did it, shot 90 on the dot.

fairway bunker fiasco on 17 hurt me. took two shots to get out and the second shot didn't make much forward progress. 

[Share your Shot/Hole Of The Day!]

i finally made par on the hardest hole at my club. #7 plays about 400 - 415 from the blues, par 4. its a dogleg right with houses on the right as well as trees. if you hit the ball anywhere left, even down the left side of the fairway, you leave yourself a long approach shot. Hit it too far right (and still in bounds) and you don't have a good angle to the green.

1. Hit a solid drive, fade down the right center of the fairway.

2. Had about 180 into the green, slightly uphill. Hit a 5 hybrid that landed softly on the green.

3. Lag putt

4. Made the par putt

You have to spill. Do you now own Ben Hogan golf or something?

How many Circle T's did you buy?

 

Good guess on the Circle T but not that. That Ben Hogan is way from left field lol.

I ordered something that hasn't even been announced to exist, Mizuno JPX Hot Metal 923 irons. I have not seen any pics of these nor do I know the specs. 

Now to be fair, I currently play JPX 921 Hot Metals which I was fit into, and was fit into JPX 919 Hot Metals when those were out. So its not that random of a buy.  But this is the first time ordering something that I have not seen pics of and have only heard a few tidbits from people on the interwebz. 

[What Have You Bought Lately? (CHA - Club Ho's Anonymous)]

just did something that should put me at the absolute top tier of CHA...

[Electric Car Purchase]

I keep telling myself that i want my next truck to be the Ford Lightning.

[What equipment are you thinking about?]

I thought of this thread while I was writing my introduction and haven't seen the videos @fixyurdivot mentioned, but it's something I'll keep an eye on as far as quality goes. I'm really sorry you've had to deal with these problems, @dlow206. 

on a positive note, the reverse function is randomly working again

[What equipment are you thinking about?]

thinking about nickel chromoly

It is interesting reading everyone say steelfibers are stout. 
 

I have been playing the i125cw in x flex and actually find them pretty smooth.. 

 

 

That's because you are a big hitter

@LeftyMatt89 you can talk to Quigleyd about his Steelfiber experience

Interesting that people feel the steelfibers are boardy. I'm usually really sensitive to stout shafts because I'm weaksauce, but I didn't find the i95 S to feel harsh. They felt very similar to the Modus 105S that I've been gaming for the last 7 years or so. I didn't expect the steelfibers to fit me best after what everyone said about them.

Can't wait till the new sticks get here!!

Those were the i95 S parallel tip right (the Private Reserve)? Usually the boardy comment is in regard to the i95 CW.

I believe you used hot metals at one point over the last year? Did you find that you had a harder time launching the ball as high as you wanted?

I play Hot Metals currently and really like them. No trouble with launch, was just saying if they make the lofts stronger and essentially keep the launch characteristics, i would be happy. 

[What equipment are you thinking about?]

got some less than encouraging news at work regarding promotion timing

so guys and gals, what should i buy to make myself feel better? you tell me what i should think about.

[Mizuno JPX 923]

I heard second hand that that the HMs will be stronger lofted. Stronger lofted with appropriate launch angles would be awesome. 

[Nothing but problems with the Stewart Q-Follow]

Mine is currently operating "ok" for the moment, but reverse doesn't work anymore. 

[Dlow206 does away with double bogeys]

Long story short, the thing I need to work on is getting rid of my inside takeaway. Anyone who has followed my thread has seen it, @Kenny B has seen the worst since he saw it in person. Since Monte's clinic this past weekend, have been working hard on it and know it will take a while to get rid of.
