Hey Folks. I just wanted to stop in say Hello.I'm a young guy who's been "golfing" (hitting golf balls) for some time. Just recently I have decided  that I want to get more serious about improving my game. Luckily I have a friend who is at least better enough than me to teach me some of the less-basic basics (<-makes sense?) and make things both interesting a challenging for the time being. I have several standing offers from some of the more experienced golfers around my job to golf with them at the courses where they are members (some are very nice) , and I insist on being at least mildy impressive when I decide to take them up on said offers.

Today was a big day for me as I bought my first complete set of wedges. I found a very decent set of used Mizuno MP-32's and I knew what they were as soon as I saw them. Picked 'em up for a steal at the local driving range with 3 free buckets of balls in which to get acquainted with them. I have to say that it is a night and day difference compared to the hand-me-down Nomads that I was hitting. It is like I didn't know what I was missing until I found it.

I look forward to going where the game takes me.

welcome!  I just gotta ask.  what were you using before the mp-32's ..   I have a set of 32's and I love them..  however, I just switched back to my taylormade burner 2.0's because I was just losing way too much distance with the 32's.  I hope someday I'll upgrade in a few years to the more modern mp clubs by mizuno.  The 32's are a beautiful club and they feel great.. I just like the extra distance with the irons.


My previous irons were a mixed set of "vintage" Nomads, and Wilsons. They were a barn find (when I was younger) from an old family farm, dusty vinyl/leather bag and all. Just a set of solid-back blades, nothing fancy. But they were fine for swinging around the property and the few times I went to a course at least I had some clubs.

My driver is a Nike Sasquatch Sumo9.5 460cc job that sounds like an aluminum bat hitting steel ball-bearings everytime I drive, but man when I get a good hit It's outstanding. My other driver is a Pro-select PSX 330cc. Its much less glamourous than the Nike but I still use it from time to time when Im feeling uneasy about the Squatch. The squatch can really reach out there, but miss-hits are gut-wrenching crescent moon shaped shots to the right(for me anyway). Although I have really been working on my swing lately so its getting better.

*I have a playing partner that is trying to talk me into selling him my Sqautch and then buy myself a 10.5degree Rocketballz driver. It's a crowdpleaser.

    • Day 84 - 2024-12-23 I hit balls for 20 minutes after lessons and after getting down a BodiTrak for resale. Hinge. Path was weirdly consistent today at 1.6° or so ± like 0.8° only.
    • Day 13: 12/23/2024 A lot more mirror work today. Using my same swing thought. Some slow motion, some full motion, some in between. Today I made sure I took every swing all the way to the finish. 
    • Day 234 (23 Dec 24) - Mystery Monday - what to do today….pretty straight up as I spent time with the 58 and a series of pitches (lower flighted all the way up to high fliers over the tulip tree).  Wrapped up the day going lower ball with the 9i and easy bump and runs.  Again as always the setup was key - case in point, got lazy and casually set up, feet straight and promptly hit a couple of nice heely shots hard right.  Knew it immediately, as next couple I went through the routine and flew the balls promptly too the target point.  Setup - setup - setup…
