@Shorty, no, it's not because I can't back up my claims, if I made any... it's more so that I just don't like rude and know it all ppl. I deal with that on daily basis.

Like I said, if a person has a voice, then do so in a nice manner. Picking a fight over the internet is such an idiotic thing to do.

Anyhow, thanks for the info... I'm just kinda reluctant to sell my Mizunos , but hey, I think I got enough feedback in this thread to make a decision.

Miuras are not art. I get a kick out of all the people that think his forgings are somehow special. My dad has owned a machine and steel fabrication shop since before I was born. My father and

Temp has nothing to do with feel. The only thing that changes feel is the type of steel used, and the way it is cooled after forging. You want hard, you quench in water. Want middle hardness, you quen

Want middle hardness, you quench in oil, want a soft forging, you don't quench at all, you let it air cool. Simple enough for you? The temperature of the metal while it is being forged has absolutely nothing to do with feel.

You made all kinds of crazy claims, and none of them are ture. Im not trying to start a fight. I had a mod, who knows the type of industry my dad is in, ask me to come in here and straighten you guys out on the myths and truths of forging. You have spouted too many myths as fact, and you needed to be cut down.

And then talking about them being art, and needing a second set to collect... WOW... You started this thread begging for an arguement, and when you got it, you became upset. You don't get to pick and choose who enters your threads, so if you don't like being called out, dont make outlandish claims like you have in this thread.

And in the spirit of the thread, to the OP, yes, sell the Mizunos. In this era, unless they are truly rare and unused, clubs do not retain value. Enjoy your Miuras.

Sai-Jin, I like that you have a play set and a show set. No, your show set probably won't big huge bucks down the road, but to the right person, you may be able to get something. I collect Hogans and am always looking for sets that have matching serial numbers and original grips. I see un-hit sets of Hogans of ebay every once in a while. The people ask for far too much from them $1000 - $2500/set. I don't usually follow the auction to see if they actually sell. But like I said, there are probably collectors out there with money to burn. I'm a collector on a budget. I'll take the beat up ones.

As far as Miuras go. Those are some pretty clubs. And, as already mentioned, the Japanese know how to forge metal. Golf clubs as a work of art? Yeah.

Yes, but don't you think that's because they don't make Hogans any longer?

And that makes unhit Hogans rare ...

It's not like Mizuno is going out of business.

It's not like Mizuno is going out of business.

Some Hogans are sought after and some are not. In my opinion it depends on 3 things. 1.) were they playable - were they a joy to have in the bag (e.g. 1988 Apex red lines)  2.) were they revolutionary (e.g. 1st generation Edges - not the wannabes with extra letters), 3.) are they susceptible to bag chatter thus making a mint condition set all the more rare (e.g. PCs),

And probably a 4th. Would Ben Hogan ever have put them in the bag. Some guys rave(d) about the Radials and such but I recall sets of Radial going for next to nothing because they were very much unHogan. Even the signature was all trademarky and wrong.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
