In honor of Lihu, Vinsk, and all the other lefties out there (including a friend of mine who is a woman, and a lefty... You guys think you have it bad finding clubs?) feel free to share any quality left handed golf clubs as you become aware of them. I'll start with Mizuno's 2015 line: MP-54 JPX 850 (both forged, and non-forged)

Don't forget @newtogolf ;)

Well of course good ole Ping has it all as well as Callaway (wonder why:-D). It's not near as hard as it used to be with the help of Weir, Mickelson and Watson. But I've always liked the looks of Mizuno clubs....but a no go aside from those listed I guess. Titleist 714 AP1 & 2.....wonderful clubs IMO.

They are a few (5?) years old now, but I still like my MP-52s. I am also pleased with my High Heat Driver and vokey wedges.

Started with Nike then now on second set of TM. Playing TM Rocketbladez Tour irons after much test & debate, Muzino, AP 1/2, and teeing a friends Ping I believe 7i black dot?? It was longer for me. I like the TM Blades the best all around with the stock .355 tour shaft that I have since re shafted with a Tour 90 down to the 9i. TM Bladez PW-AW with TT Spinner+. Heavier more spin weight. Clevland and Calloway 56-64 wedges. I also changed length and lie due to needed leg repair & adjustment. So they are quite fit able as are the others. Considering one more iron change at the start of next season.

I do like the MP54, but have a set of MP-52 already. My son and I have: TM burner Callaway X22 Cleveland CG Tour Mizuno MP32, MP52 Ping I20 Titleist Not enough variety, the JPX850 forged don't feel as nice as the MP-54. There's not enough lefties who like Mizuno I guess. The Callaway Apex-MB feel exactly like my MP-32, and might end up in my son's bag?

I can understand a company not mass-producing a product that has a limited market... However, once the club is designed for the right hander, I don't imagine it would be that expensive to create a left handed mold, and at a minimum offer them as a custom/to order option

Lefty's make up about 10% of the market and probably only 3% that purchases muscle back / blades so I can understand why Mizuno and others have opted to minimally support that market segment.  Mizuno usually rotates their players irons, there were lefty MP-68's and MP-59's so it's possible since the current generation of those lines didn't offer a lefty option the next generation will.

That's kind of what I observed. Hope soon. . .

They make up about 6%, based on the people I've talked to, and that is for all of North America including Canada which skews it higher.

Many left-handed people will play golf right-handed.

6%?? And of them, how many might want blades? That might only make up 1% of the demand....No wonder.

Unfortunately, it's probably less than 0.6% of the golfing public. Guessing only 0.1%, but that's still 55,000 of us out of the 55 million golfer market? Plus, I doubt any Mizuno golf club is made in big volumes anyway. . .

Maybe one of us could injure Luke Donald in such a way that he can only hit left handed? :-D

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
