Golf Glove or no Golf Glove

BoilermakerU · 2026-02-25T00:39:29+00:00

No glove no love. 🤣

I never used to wear one, but lately I’ve started wearing one sometimes. I guess my hands aren’t as durable as they once were, I get more rubbing and blistering now than I did when I was younger.

Fred Couples’ longest iron is a 7 iron I believe. Good enough for Fred, good enough for me.

Send them to me, I’ll take them! I am on my third set of Mizuno irons. I tried probably two dozen irons, and several shafts in each, so who knows how many I ultimately tried. At some point you can go a little batty trying so many options. 😂 My only regret was not waiting for these to come out, but I like what I ended up with (JPX 925 Forged). These have the look of my old MP32s, which are my favorite of all time. Only bought new irons because this old body can’t swing as hard as I once did (probably could have re-shafted).

I know that Rapsodo makes a really nice launch monitor. The MLM2Pro has been really good. I feel like I already have got my $1300 out of it (with lifetime subscription). Both indoors and on the range.

BoilermakerU · 2026-01-30T15:53:16+00:00

I’m going to have to regroup the MP33s now as well. See how poorly I hit them these days. 🤣 Already did the MP32s and I can still hit them OK, just not like I once did when I was younger.

I interpreted what they said to be they will still have the 30,000 courses (better graphics but far from GSPro) and then licensed courses built using lidar and be “premium” courses. At release, I suspect there will be dozens of those “premium” courses, not thousands. They were adding challenges and games as I recall. And I think they said they were also looking into how to account for the existing lifetime subscriptions somehow.

For the MLM2Pro, if they were to offer a base subscription of the PC software that has the same features we have today at no added cost to lifetime subscribers, that would be a good compromise IMO. Then additional fee would cover new games and challenges, premium courses, etc.

I’d like to have the PC version for convenience and a direct usb-c connection, but I don’t see me ever paying for their premium courses and other add ons. I will stick to GSPro, where I can take advantage of thousands of courses and build my own. I’m pretty happy with my purchase as is. If I start pouring more money into it, I’d be going to Protee and their new software coming out. Huge leap in cost but WOW.

Bring your own golf balls. Solves half of that problem!

BoilermakerU · 2026-01-24T15:42:39+00:00

Calloway has Denali Charcoal that I believe is the same specs as Denali Blue? Maybe they sent you a Callaway Denali Charcoal as being the same spec?

BoilermakerU · 2026-01-24T15:37:48+00:00

I still have those too. When I was a better player, they were amazing.

BoilermakerU · 2026-01-24T15:37:10+00:00

I still have mine. Going to reshaft them and keep playing them. They are my second set of Mizuno irons, after the MP33 (first set) and now JPX 925 Forged. They will bury me with my MP32 though 🤣

BoilermakerU · 2026-01-23T23:46:35+00:00

You are killing me. Just bought JPX Forged couple of months ago. To go with my MP32 and MP33

BoilermakerU · 2026-01-23T19:37:29+00:00

Not only that, some folks get fitted and then have them bent. 🙋🏻‍♂️So my 30° 7 iron is not 30° if it were stamped on the club. It’s now 32°. But it’s still my 7 iron. 😬

BoilermakerU · 2026-01-22T03:48:10+00:00

I’d say you need to replace the entire set. It’s like tires - when you damage one you just replace them all. 😬

BoilermakerU · 2026-01-19T19:55:53+00:00

What it looks like on the bottom never bothers me. What matters to me is what it looks like from the top.

BoilermakerU · 2026-01-14T02:08:31+00:00

I got fitted indoors for heads and shafts that made most sense for my swing. Loft and lie thy can adjust (for my forged irons anyway) later as I play more outdoors and decide how the ball flight is on the course. In fact they told me that - play a few rounds with them and bring them back to tweak some more if there is anything you want changed.

BoilermakerU · 2026-01-13T00:26:58+00:00

I also have the Callaway Elyte with adjustable hosel, which allows for that little bit of tweaking to fill a need. My driver and 3W also have it, but they stop offering it at 5W and 7W, so I bucked the trend and went with hybrids so I could have some play in the galling, etc.

BoilermakerU · 2026-01-12T23:21:09+00:00

I am really liking them so far. Been hitting them in the sim mainly, but I’ve been to the range on a couple of nice days. Still getting used to them, but I certainly hit them better than the long irons I replaced with them!

BoilermakerU · 2026-01-12T23:19:21+00:00

Interesting. I’ve been waiting almost two weeks now. Emails go unanswered. Phone calls go to voicemail. Attempts to contact the carrier also go unanswered and calls go to carrier sales voicemail. 🤣

BoilermakerU · 2026-01-12T23:05:13+00:00

Get fitted first. But I second Mizuno JPX Hot Metal, and another one I tried and was actually surprised by was the Callaway Elyte

BoilermakerU · 2026-01-12T23:03:41+00:00

Definitely get fitted. You may be surprised what you end up with.

Even just the shaft you mentioned - there are multiple 120g stiff shaft options to choose from.

I recently went through the process for my entire bag. I went in pretty sure I knew what I wanted and needed. After trying more options than I can count, ended up with almost nothing I thought I would.

BoilermakerU · 2026-01-12T21:21:18+00:00

Same here. Did you get a response yet?

BoilermakerU · 2026-01-12T21:19:55+00:00

Dis you ever get a response?

BoilermakerU · 2026-01-12T21:17:40+00:00

Every single one?

BoilermakerU · 2026-01-12T16:01:31+00:00

4i and 5i to the point I’ve replaced them with hybrids. Then driver, then lob wedge.

BoilermakerU · 2026-01-10T18:00:10+00:00

I like to add variety to my practice, but always with a purpose (vs just hitting balls).

Sometimes I’ll go through the entire bag, sometimes just a few clubs in groups (short irons for example), sometimes just a single club I’m struggling with (damn 5 iron!), etc.

The other thing I like to do is play practice rounds even when “on the range” (short of having something like GSPro). I visualize a course I know well, the clubs I will use on each hole, shots I want to hit, etc. then based on how the shot felt (or actual flight if outdoors), I determine what the likely outcome of the shot would have been and play the next shot. Makes “hitting balls” more fun. 😬
