So I got the call last night from Golfsmith, my new MP-54's had arrived, just as I'd ordered. 2 degrees flat with XP 105 shafts. It's a miracle, we've got a sunny 50 degree day in January here in Boston. Imagine my excitement when I leave skip friday afternoon at work to pick up my clubs and head to the range. I break most traffic laws flying to the shop to get my new sticks, and........

They sent my exact specs, in righty instead of lefty. Went through all the paperwork with Golfsmith, they had everything right. Mizuno just screwed it up. Of Course, they're doing the right thing and expediting the correct order, but naturally, by the time they get here a little snow storm will have rolled through and a cold front will have moved in. It's not like I'm headed to Hilton Head tomorrow and don't have any sticks, but still, it's grinding my gears. Anyone ever had this happen?

Also, If anyone up here (Jamo?) is in the need of some sweet sticks, I bet the Golfsmith in Natick might cut you a deal on some Mizunos.

Never had that happen to me. I can tell you this...I feel for you, and hope they get the next set right.

If they screw it up again, is it reasonable to ask for something extra, or a discount?

I would think so. I wouldn't ask for too much though, maybe a free wedge or something..?

that's what I was thinking. I certainly expect them to get it right this time though. As it was, I was really impressed with how fast they filled a custom order. They clearly take their customer service seriously

I actually learned the game as a righty. My right handed swing is still good for winning a few bets when I'm in the hole.

      Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
