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.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
