only irons. I received my MP-57's saturday and was not able to play or go to the range. I drove to the range this morning and it was locked up so I decided I'd go to a local muni and play 9. I only hit irons and shot +3. I'm extremely happy with the MP-57's. I love the feel of a well struck shot but I also like the fact that they will still rattle your hands if you miss one but won't punish you too terribly bad. As far as clubs go, they're also sexy as hell.

Nothin special but I was dialed in with my 52* wedge.

I guess I should have clarified that I used irons and a putter. Just no woods or hybrids.

congrats though this reminded me of the movie "Tin Cup" when McAvoy parred the backend with only a 7 iron, lol.

If you really choke on a sandwedge and skull it on purpose, you can putt quite well with it.

Bladed sand/lob wedge, forward press with a driver or 3-wood or running chip with a long iron for the long putts - there are ways to get around without a putter. When I was a kid, and later when i had a membership and could play more often, we used to play one club. A half decent player with some course knowledge can get around with bogeys using anything from a 5-wood to a 7 iron (more common now is likely 2 club or 3 club). It sure gives the grey matter a workout.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
