If it helps you gauge the MPF of your 0211’s, they comp pretty closely to the the Ping I210’s and AP2 irons and in between the PXG P and XP. The XP are more like the G and T300’s

I’m assuming the Tour Edge E series irons didn’t work out very well?

Hey, ok good info, went back and looked up the MPF #s for those other models; presented here for my fellow golf club nerds are those and other current iron models..

Note the categories are Maltby's.

 

And on the E723 - yes, very good club, definitely *very* playable for me, buuuut ... just didn't see "better enough" performance from them vs 0211s; feel was ok but not "sweet" and while that Tensei shaft is excellent (have a similar Tensei in an EXS FW) not sure it's the best for me... So the search continues!

Just signed up to volunteer at 2024 US Senior Open at Newport CC...

Wife and I were just up there for a weekend getaway and drove by a part of that course on our way to meet friends at Castle Hill Inn (just for a drink .. were were not staying there) -- and wow it looks like one outstandingly beautiful course!! 

Walking it as a vol and watching the pros on it should be quite a unique experience!!

So i was looping for the Big Guy.   No not Big Stu... The dali lama. And when we got done he started walking off like he was gonna stiff me.  So i says hey lama...how about something, ya know, for the effort? He starts to say something but then stops and hands me these...

I was kinda hoping for the total consciousness thing....but maybe he was still mad about the wrong yardage thing where he didnt carry the glacier.

hahaha there have been a lotta really fun posts in this thread but man I think you just nailed top spot (for now ) in my book! Love it

Found a set of old Titleist irons and woods on Marketplace that need just a touch of TLC and then I’ve got a mancave project for them. Cleaned some rust off of the iron faces today, still need to see about cleaning up the backs a bit. 1,3,4,5 woods, 2-9 irons, PW, and a Royal Eagle putter.

Can't wait to the finished product!

Well after a very insightful demo days for callaway I pulled the trigger on the Paradym driver. Went with a Ventus Blue 7S shaft set to Draw on the weight and shaft and +1 degree finished off with my go to golf pride Z Cord 50 grip with +1 wrap. I haven’t played a callaway driver in a while but the results don’t lie because this this was a cannon on the range. Will be posting pictures when I get it in and maybe I’ll even tag along with the forum test .

P.S. if my activity in the forum goes down in the next couple weeks it’s because I don’t get wifi in the Doghouse!

Those are awesome! Love the look of older clubs (which was way before I even started playing!). Anyway I've read previously that @chisag recommends a cleaner called "Barkeeper's Friend" .. check it out!

I’ll look into that, thanks!

Funny story - got the MGS newsletter this morning on Deals .. checked out the $18 polo .. looked good .. put 3 in my cart .. went to checkout .. they were like $33 and change each, not $18 .. delete two of them , figure I'll try one anyway .. now that one polo is listed in the cart at $11.12 (+$6.50 shipping)....

Didn't click anything else except "Payment"!!!

I can second Barkeepers Friend.  It’s like a cleanser and not expensive we had that stuff around house for years.

I recently purchased a new fisherman hat, say what, you’re on the wrong site/feed.

Well the fisherman’s hat comes with a neck pull down to protect my neck from the sun, works like a charm.

Bonus points if you attach a hair extension that looks like a hockey mullet.

I like the length on that headcover, looks like it covers the whole shaft down to the bag.

It does. It is a little bit longer than the OEM head cover.
