Hey all,

I purchased Mizuno MP52s on ebay like 2 weeks ago and maybe I'm getting overly paranoid, but is it normal for there to be a lot of small dents on the back of the clubs from clanking around in the bag? My old irons had a few but after 2 weeks there are a bunch of marks on my new irons. Just checking if anyone else with the MP52s or other Mizunos have a similar experience.

Thanks

Throw up a picture if you can, but it sounds like normal bag chatter for forged irons. I have the 58s and they would be bad if I didn't put covers on them for travel.

Also sounds like normal bag chatter marks to me. I have the mx300s... I played a few rounds riding in a cart right after I got them and noticed it happening to my clubs. Now I used headcovers on the way to/from the course or if I'm riding in a cart. I usually walk though, so if I put my arm over the clubs I can avoid any clanking. I bought the cheap ones you can find on ebay that are clearly cheap fakes, but they get the job done.

Thats what forged clubs do...who cares...honest wear is not a bad thing. You can always have them re-chromed every couple of years.

Yeah that's what I figured. Thanks for all the replies. Since I started buying clubs off ebay I always just want to make sure that little things like this aren't a sure sign of knock off clubs or something. But then again if 60k+ good ratings isn't good enough for me then I don't know what will be =). Im just overly paranoid about this stuff.

Thanks

so you would grap the set of dinged up irons over a brand new set on irons in the store

      Nice mate, very nice. I'd say forget about weight until what you're doing stops working and go win some beers from your mates while you're in the zone!

      Weight shift is next on the list but I need to groove this new feel and then work it back to a better shot shape. I started with a path +5 degrees out and a clubface -8 degrees. Hook city Ended with a path -0.5 and clubface +5. Straight fade/slice   So now just to dial it back a touch.

      Too much Sharpie on the golf ball?

      Geez I love seeing improvement like that. Well done. As someone whose "natural" swing is out to in 2-3 degrees I have to really stay on my front side (like 80%) to get that back to closer to 0 or even + for a draw. A big backswing also makes the path even worse. On the contrary a really short backswing with heavy front foot creates a hook. And to clarify, I feel that weight through my foot, knee and hip, it's not just leaning to the front side, it's almost like winding the coil in that front leg. That's probably the exact opposite of what the textbooks say? Perhaps because the textbooks are for guys who hit the ball well with an in to out club path struggle taming a hook?? For some reason ANY conscious weight transfer to my back foot exacerbates everything and stops me getting through the ball and I stand up off the ball. When I'm trying to hit a cut I don't consciously hold weight forward (but I make sure I don't transfer back) and it works. I have very bad hips, knees, shoulders from decades of (falling off) motorbikes and (falling off) surfboards so I can only do what I can do       I have found this "weight" approach works better for me than "try to swing in to out" using any method as I then lose impact angle and distance. With say an 8-iron I will lose 20m from my best shot even if it's a +2 path, because I just cannot get everything to work together.   I don't know if any of that helps - I am certainly a trial and error guy and not a coach with any kind of theory to back up my ponderings - but I am learning what works for me by making weight my number one swing thought.

      Too much Sharpie on the golf ball?

      By Stryper ·

      TRIGGER WARNING: This will upset MANY people. I WAS experimenting with various forms of these. I am about 70% red/green colourblind so to me, these balls stand out yellow, not fluoro yellow, but yellow nonetheless. This colourblindness also affects my brain's interpretation of blue/purple and I have trouble distinguishing between browns and greens if they are in the distance etc, making golf one sunnuva in summer here when the course is cooked. To non CB people these are a dirty yellow (so I am told) and are very hard to see on the course. So while I can find my own balls easier than a white-only ball using a marker, my playing partners helping me look for a wayward ball cannot, and I found I was losing more shots by not having that extra help when the chips were down. And although this was done with "permanent marker" it was invaluable in telling me if I was hitting off the toe. I'd actually recommend it to anyone to use for a round or for practice and have a look after each shot what shot shape happened after different strikes. Yes, it puts some muck on your club face, but yes it rubs off quite easily, and I may be colourblind but I'm not certainly less worried about the temporary aesthetic assault on my clubs than if I'm drinking my playing partners' free beer at the end of a winning round. Anyway I've learned to stick to fluoro yellow so I can see them and my buddies can too. And they've stopped feeling like vomiting and their OCD has calmed down big time since they had to stop looking at them on the tee and green.
