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

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
