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.

      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?

      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?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.
