The shafts may not be suitable.

Yeah, that's what my pro said, got lucky and he happened to text me while I was at the store, said shafts were too stiff. Just wanted to feel what the heads were like.

Got a better idea of what I'm looking for, less GI, less bighead, more cavity/muscle back but not blade, thinner top-line, how the head is designed, w/regards to aesthetics, doesn't matter as much.

Life is short. Got MP-53s, 4-PW, will get fitting info from instructor and bring to Pete's to get fitted. Hopefully get some time in with them with in the remaining summer. I really never liked the big heads of the Titleist AP2s.

Will see how it goes with regard to driver.

Just read this whole thread. For a guy who hates shopping, you sure are doing a lot of shopping! But you know I think you've made a great decision and I think your way of going about it is also very instructive. The MP 53's are beautiful and  should suit you well for a long time. Best, -Marv

DRIVER: Cleveland 588 Altitude ( Matrix Radix Sv Graphite, A) IRONS: Mizuno JPX-800 HD Irons & 3,4,5 JPX Fli-Hi (Grafalloy Prolaunch Blue Graphite, R); WEDGES: (Carried as needed) Artisan Golf 46, 50, 53, 56 low bounce, 56 high bounce; PUTTER: Mizuno TP Mills 9

My intention was to do a lot more, demo a lot more clubs, at least dozen different sets, but I said screw it. I went to the same store to demo clubs twice, it's more research online into what's out there in terms of heads, shafts, and setup, I'll just learn along the way I guess.

      Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want.

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??

      I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
