I recently read the Sand Trap review on both the new MPT-10 wedges and the MPT wedges they replace. I read the few comments on the differences, but I was wondering from you all if you thought there were significant differences. I am in need of a new 56 and 60 degree wedge and I can get two new MPTs for the price of one MPT-10. I really like the looks of the the new black satin MPT-10 but I don't know that a darker color and a tad more spin are worth paying nearly twice as much.

Thanks for the response. I have always been a huge Mizuno fan and own two sets of their irons. Another thing I am tackling is what bounce to get. I KNOW, this has been discussed elsewhere.

I'm a sweeper with all of my irons, shallow to no divot at all and I play fairly drier courses with heavier, thicker sand. If I think back on my sand shots, I usually hit it very well or catch too much ball and get the scull shot. All of this leads me to think I should get the 56.10, but most people think more bounce is better in the sand wedge. The other option here is the 56.14, which I could always bend to 55.13. I have no clue on the bounce of my current 56 Mizuno Faldo wedge.

As for the lob wedge, I currently have a Cleveland 588 which has 3 degrees bounce, but I've read the amount of camber on that club effectively produces the result of 8-10 degrees bounce. So I am debating on the MPT between the 60.5 or the 60.8. Probably better get the 60.8. Yet, if I do that I will have 52.10 (CG12), 56.10(MPT) and 60.8(MPT), three wedges all with nearly identical bounce. Hmmm.

Interesting. As I understand, you are more of a "digger" and you selected wedges with fairly low bounce.

Actually, a digger should being using high bounce. To stop the fat shots, to keep the club from digging too far. Course conditions here in Wisconsin change so much from course to course that I went middle of the road. Can't afford to buy 6 wedges to interchange for course conditions.

As a sweeper I believe YOU should be using low bounce to let to club dig a liitle so you make contact higher on the club face. Hard sand = low bounce. Soft deep sand = high bounce. I had a 54.13 Ben Hogan and loved it, Fried egg where I could only see a dime size amount of the ball...... NO PROBLEM. But I would try to use it for tight fairway and chip shops and hit them thin, too much bounce with the wrong camber I believe that kept the leading edge off the ground.

Thinking about ordering some of those scratch wedges come March or April. Did you see all of the gring options?

Yes, I did see those scratch wedges but I can get a whole set of 3 MP-Ts for the price of one Scratch. And considering that I need a new golf bag and a hybrid, I may have to go the more economical forged wedge route. My New Year's resolution is to be more practical and that I do not need another set of irons.

How do you like the 51.06 by the way? I have a feeling that carrying two Mizuno weges and one Cleveland might start to bother me. lol

I love it, great addition to my bag.... I get about 105 out of it on a nice easy full swing . 115 if I go after it, feels great, mine has the rifle spinner not the dg shaft.

Ended up buying two MP-Rs instead because they did not have the MP-Ts in the lofts I wanted. I got the 56.10 and 60.09 in black nickel finish.

They are good wedges. At first, I did hit a few of my partial wedge shot fat, but after that, they are great. I just had to be more aggressive with it. Mine are with Rifle 6.0's in my 51º & 56º, and a Rifle Spinner in the 60º

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      By iacas · Posted

      I work with a lot of golfers who want more shaft lean at impact, who currently have AoAs that range from +2° to -2°, and who love to see the handle lower and more "in front of their trail thigh" from face-on at P6. And a lot of these golfers try to solve the issue by working on the downswing. They do something to drag the handle forward. Or they just leave their right thigh farther back so the same handle location "looks" farther forward. Or they move the ball back in their stance. Or they push themselves down into the ground to get the handle lower and increase (decrease?) their AoA (to be more negative). The real fix is often to get wider in the backswing. To do LESS in the backswing. To hinge less, fold the trail arm less, abduct the trail arm less. I had a case of this over the weekend. Before, the player had 110° of trail elbow bend, "lifted" his trail humerus only a few degrees, etc. The club traveled quite a bit around him, and he tended to "pick" the ball from the fairways. In the "after" swings below (which are mild exaggerations — this golfer does not need to end up at < 70° of elbow bend. These were slower backswings with "hit it as hard as you normally would" intent downswings), you can see that he bent his elbow about 70° instead of 110° and lifted his right arm an extra ~15° or more. You can't see how much less this moved his hands across his chest (right arm abduction), but it was also decreased. His hands stayed more "in front of" his right shoulder rather than traveling "beside" them so much. The two swings look like this: The change at P6, without talking about the downswing one little bit (outside of him telling me that he tends to pick the ball), is remarkable: Without 110° of elbow bend to get out (which he gets to 80°, a loss of 30°), the golfer actually loses slightly less elbow bend (70 - 50 = 20), but delivers 30° less elbow bend, lowering the handle and letting the elbow get "in front of" the rib cage… because it never got "behind" or "beside" the rib cage. If you look at this video showing the before/afters of P6, you'll note the handle location (both vertically and horizontally) and the shoulders (the ball is in the same place in these frames). This golfer's path was largely unaffected (still pretty straight into the ball, < 3° path and often < 1.5°), but his AoA jumped to -5° ± 2°. I've always said, and in talking with other instructors they agree and feel similarly, that we spend a lot of time working on the backswing. This is another example of why.
