Out with the Old, In with the New. MP 58 --> MP 63

I have been using the MP 58s for about a year now and I have hit them pretty well. Recently, though, I just got fitted for X-100 shafts and thanks to my job, I am able to afford nice new clubs for almost nothing. I decided to go with the 63s and I was wondering if anyone could tell me any big differences I'll experience switching from the 58s to the 63s. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

Depending on the shafts that you had in the 58's, I'm guessing that the new shafts will give you a jolting bit of a reality check unless you are more often the 4 handicap and your swing requires an extra stiff shaft.

Of course, if you had extra stiff shafts and you were hitting the 58's well, I wouldn't expect a big difference. Last week I hit the 63's and the Ping i20's just for a comparison.  I liked the 63's better.

However, with new clubs, you will end up spending more time noticing bag chatter marks...

Yeah, I had the S-300s in the 58s and now I have the X-100s in my 63s and I thought it would be a tough adjustment, but it's been a huge improvement. I get better flight and distance with the new shafts and the 63s have a better sound than the 58s. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the change, but thank you.

That's great news!

Now, if you can just keep them all nice and shiny.
