So the bag is shaping up, i finally like almost every club in my bag, minus the short game utensils.

Something just isnt sitting right with me and my vokeys anymore.. Dont know, im playing well, just need to change i guess..

SO basically, whats the difference between the T and the R besides the grind on the T being a bit more aggresive looking? I picked up a R 47 as a PW tonight for 50 bones, and its sweet, but what is the main difference between the two models?

PS, Rambler, your clubs will be out tommorow! Hope you like the MB's!

I play the MP-R 54-10. As far as I know, the R indicates a more rounded club head like my irons. The T indicates a Tear-drop shape, more like the Vokey. I understand it is purely what one prefers. I liked knowing that my wedges were not going to appear different at address than my irons. Also, I didn't want to get accustomed to a larger club face with my wedge than my irons.

Search the club review section of the main site. There was a very good review done on these wedges a few months ago.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

The differences between the MP-T and MP-R are the head shapes, the sole grinds and the loft/bounce angles. I tried both models and really didn't prefer one over the other because the differences were so minor IMO. Both looked and felt great. I bought the Rs because they came in the lofts I wanted and they were in stock.

I'm pretty sure the main difference is just the shape of the head (MP-T=tear drop, MP-R=round), but they do offer some different loft/bounce combos depending on whether you go with the MP-T or MP-R. I think I read on their website the grind was different too. MP-T has a C grind and MP-R has workshop grind. Honestly, have no idea what the difference is though. I liked the look of the tear drop head so that is what I went with, but from the previous posts looks like I may be in the minority.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
