Left handed people are or used to be considered "sinister" or having the appearance of evil. I guess it was because they/we are/were different.

Tical1969, add Bridgestone and Hopkins onto your list... Neither one makes left handed clubs. Hopkins because they're a  newer company and are concentrating on gaining reputation and market share with the majority of golfers (right handed players)... Bridgestone I have no idea why... but that's fine. I'll give my money to TaylorMade, Callaway, Srixon, Ping, etc for good super forgiving left handed clubs.


No forger either on Honma website (us) maybe japan...

A dual meaning:  The problem of not having left-handed golf clubs is not a good thing (okay, "sinister" may be a bit strong), but using a word that in/from Latin means "left."

Over 30% of Canadian golfers are left handed (I am Canadian and a left handed golfer).

I love my Mizuno clubs and I am currently playing a 10 year old set of MX-23.

I want to get a new set and the only game enhancement options for me are MP-54 or MP-59.

Both my brothers are lef handed. Makes it hard to give them clubs I no longer need. They are both currently looking for new sets and having trouble finding the right ones because they are left handed. There best options they have found have been ping and Taylor made, just not any players irons. I know one of my brothers was looking at aw hat appeared to be a good deal on some cleveland 588 cb forged irons from a couple years ago. I am not sure what came of it though.

Is that because 100% of Canadian golfers play hockey?

I read an article somewhere once that said something to that effect. It was about baseball, but apparently a larger percentage of Canadians bat left handed than the U.S. because Canadian youths typically play hockey first, where they are taught to place their dominant hand on the end of the stick (left-handed shot). So when they pick up a bat for the first time, they put their right hand on the butt and bat left. I imagine the same occurs in golf.

If you want to play blades, the current manufacturers offering is lacking, but there are a number of good blades available in the pre-owned market that are in like new condition.  Looks like the Apex Muscleback and Miura are the only current offerings.

I really like the feel of these clubs. However, now that I've heard that Miura makes a club for lefties, I might warm up to them someday, but they look a little harder to hit than the APEX MB.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
