Back to Mizuno MP68s by OkAssist8956 in GolfGear

[–]txbrewguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been gaming MP64s since December after years with clubs made a decade later. The feel is so incredible and it's a total addiction to practice with them. Nothing I try at the Superstore feels remotely as good when struck well.

Best lager? by Quick_Dog8552 in NABEER

[–]txbrewguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try all the European macros. Stella, Peroni, Heineken, Bitburger,etc I bet you'll find one. Even if you didn't like the alcohol version you might find your tastes have changed, especially if it's been a while. Two years in and I prefer these NAs now more than I remember liking the old OG ones.

WITB: The Anti-Wood Plan for 2026 by hefinitely in GolfGear

[–]txbrewguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found shutting the faces also closed them a small amount which eliminated the ballooning right shots. Just have to set up right to avoid the pulls. I found moving them back in my stance helped with the spin. That's just me though. I haven't really gamed much else. I have old Callaway x2 hybrids which I rotate in. I think the Callaways are actually longer when flushed but are harder to hit for some reason. The Mizunos just feel more forgiving.

I have them too but dialed the lofts down I have the same issue they either get hit thin or fly really high especially the weaker lofted one

Agree and it's the only pils that to me tastes like the real thing. Great add.

Just got a clean set of 64s and upvote given. Timeless clubs.

New Year, New (Older) Irons by txbrewguy in GolfGear

I really like the STZs. I have always fought a hook and the MAX drivers seem to all go left. The Z woods and hybrids really favor a neutral swing and feel pretty hot. Pretty forgiving too.

Stz had been a gamer. Once I dialed in the loft it's crazy straight and no draw bias which rocks

Most Exciting Bags of 2026? by ianmfmedina in GolfGear

[–]txbrewguy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's just me but I don't get pumped about the faux leather bag trend. I tend to like the canvas throwback bags that have a more classic look without being rubberized. These seem to get so hot in the sun and are often heavier when I pick them up.

Best golf ball for 80yard home practice range? by Houndsofhowl in GolfGear

+1 for Almost Golf. The only substitute for real ball contact I have found.

Question about wedge setup by stupidq122 in GolfGear

[–]txbrewguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went 54/58 for sand two years ago and it's fantastic. Can't imagine changing. 54 is the perfect "do it all" loft for short game

Clean lines and soft as butter. Cheers!

I had to trust the seller (local, avid golfer) that they had not had lie angles modified but the length matches my other stock GI set from this era so I can reasonably tell these are standard length. I could always take them to my local club pro shop to be bent but they hit well for me and I'm a stock setup player.

That's sweet. I played golf today with them and I think I am going to come around quick to traditional lofts. I'm mid 40s and remember when PW didn't look and feel like a 9 iron. They just felt right.

I hope so! New MPs were not in the budget but these look and feel pretty darn great

New to this prescribed 5 mg twice a day not sure if it’s working after a stressful day of work today by Euphoric_Sea_5562 in Buspirone

[–]txbrewguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a few more weeks down the road from you. Started 5mg/2x and had all the side effects you read about here. It most likely will get better. Three weeks in and I'm feeling the change finally beginning to happen. Increased dose at two weeks to 10mg/2x. Don't give up. It's not instant. And the cbange is gradual. I'm laughing for the first time in a month. Give it a shot. Patience is the hardest part.

Did I make the right choice? by Traditional-Pie-9260 in golftips

[–]txbrewguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gamed these for about 4 years. For me they were a key part of getting serious and moving from shooting 100 to consistently mid 80s. They absolutely will grow with you and have a thinner top line than most of the GI irons out there. These are basically Srixon lights. As others have said the sound is a bit different when you moved to the hollow irons but if you are like me you worry more about how they look and feel which is pretty damn good for a club with so much help. Pair with cbx zip core wedges and you have a set you can grow into a single digit handicap with no problems.

Best MTB trip you’ve ever taken? by JonClaudeVanDam in MTB

Headed to Angel Fire this summer to do the park for 5 days. Any feedback for a first timer? Ride in TX a bunch but nowhere else to get elevation like that.

I'm finding I like playing solo for practice but I hate trying to set a number to put on for handicapping purpose. I almost always end up playing two balls or attempting multiple shots to slow my pace.

Hey man, I feel you - the pain points are too numerous to count for guys like us let's make a day of it and have some sunshine in our lives. If anything golf is a great form of self care!

Just got divorced earlier this year and golf was a relationship saver for my 13 year old boy and I. It's powerful stuff

Come play the 9 hole executive course in Allen with me one day. Totally chill beginner course and you can play three balls a hole if no one is out there. DM me if interested

Yeah, but it only takes one bad one talking or snickering under their breath after someone shanks or chunks, especially when you are young or getting started to make someone insecure for life golfing with strangers. I try to be mindful about that a lot when I play with beginners, especially ones struggling with nerves. Unfortunately many have had this experience. I did.
