I got a decent deal on a new set of Mp32's online, so I pulled the trigger. I'm hoping I like them. After hearing how great the 32's are for years, I finally just jumped on a set.

I'm playing a set of X-Tours right now that I've been playing for a couple years now. However, I noticed a bent shaft on my 3i the other day and figured i'd put the cash toward a new set instead of just replacing the 3. I imagine I'll finally settle on a combo set with blades in the 7 or 8-P and something like the MP57 or 58 in the rest. For now though, I'd like to work on my ball striking and figured a set of blades will make me improve. I'm currently around a 10 or 11 handicap up from a 5 or 6 since law school started (law school is trying to ruin my game.) I'll have to post a report in a few weeks after a few rounds and some range time.

Driver: FT5 Tour 9.5*
3 Wood: FT Tour 15*
Irons: X-Tour 3-PW
Wedges: Vokey Spin Milled 52*, 56*, 60*
Putter: Custom Shop Studio Stainless Newport 2

I've got a set of those that were living in my closet for a while, but I just put them back in my bag in place of my older Taylor cavity backs. The 32's are definitely harder to hit, but with all but my worst swings the difference in forgiveness really isn't that punishing. OTOH most other things that feel as good as a flush strike are illegal in most states, the trajectory is better, and they're really pretty... They may stay in play until I spring for a forged cavity set. Hope you enjoy yours.

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • 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. 
    • 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.
