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

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.

    • Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.
    • So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon 
    • It is a known technique, similar to the armed forces box technique. They use a 4x4 , in through the nose and out through the mouth. I use it to go to sleep fairly often. It works for me
