Jack Bauer's WITB (TaylorMade, PXG, Mizuno, Titleist and Edel)

BIG STU · February 16, 2019

I guess I'm officially a Mizuno fanboy. From what I've read on this site, the MP-32s are in the GOAT conversation so I had to jump on these. Now I have sets of blades, players cavity backs (MP-57s), and game improvementish irons (MP-53s).

The 32s are a timeless design even though personally I liked the 33s better of course turned the other way around for me---- IMHO nothing at all wrong with being as you put it "a Mizuno Fanboy" if that is what you like---

Ugh, I wish I were able to try the 33s. And the 64s, 66s, and 900 Tours ...

Until I find another set of them or unless someone makes me an offer I can't refuse.

Original post updated. I just got this bad boy back from Continental Golf. They repainted the white part to matte black and refinished the carbon part of the crown to matte to mimic the new M5/M6.

I just blasted and reshafted these so we'll see if they kick out my 57s, but I'm really excited to try them out. I'm going to try not to buy another club until the M4 goes down in price next year.

Did you bead blast them? Or send them out? Turned out awesome.

Thanks! I know a guy locally who has a blasting cabinet and he did it for me (I watched). Here's the thread on what we did.

I decided to switch out my wedges and stripped these raw last night.

Quite a few changes recently.

After many years of service, I replaced my M2 2016 with a M5 and also switched out the Tour AD DI for a Tour AD GP. I wanted the ability to play with the weights to manipulate spin and the Tour AD DI was starting to feel a little loose.

I went from 3-wood/5-wood (Big Bertha Alpha 816/Tight Lies 2) to 4-wood/driving iron (M2 2017/0311 XP Gen3), realizing that I used my 5-wood as a security blanket at the expense of learning to hit a 3-wood off the deck consistently. Switched out the Tour AD DI for a Tour AD F Series to get a bit more spin. Just need to ship the new 4-wood to Continental for repainting. I'm keeping my 5-wood just in case though.

Still have my beloved MP-53s but replaced the KBS Tour 120s with Nippon Modus 120s.

Similarly, I replaced my KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 wedge shafts with Nippon 115 Wedge.

I'm nearing my seven-year anniversary with my Edel putter and still have no interest in anything else. But I better not lose this one because I just found out that Edel no longer offers this model.
