Thanks.  
I got them originally as a set in 07 to match my set of MP-67’s , although they went 52,56, and 60 and the 58+60* were more recent ‘bay find replacements with loft tweaks.  I like the flight of them, and they spin moderately compared to my past Vokey’s which would tear up balls. I like the old Tour Action 588’s as well. I find that I like the low bounce wedges best, and these play at 6*, 7* and 6*. Any little pitch shots around the green with 10+* of bounce, and I catch them too thin............ when I played all the time before marriage and kids my ball striking was scratch + but my chipping was 12+, so  it’s definitely me and not the club. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've seen some of your other posts about the 9031s - they look sharp in the bag.

 

Great mix of sticks here.  Thanks for posting.

Yes, I need a low bounce on my 58 degree (lower than the 9 degree I have) for the tight fairways and often hardpan lies I have to deal with here in TX.  I like the shape of the 588s too but have been eyeing the Mizunos that you have on ebay now.  lol.

Nice setup. Ping Pal 2 was the first putter I ever purchased. Picked it up in high school and used it for many years. Last night I found a BeCu Pal 2 on eBay in great condition and priced well, so it’s on its way to me...excited to roll it.

I bought the 58* with 10*, because I knew I was going to bend it to 55* which would put the bounce at 7*
 

I bought a 56* with 14* thinking it would be better from the sand after reading feedback from fellow WRX’ers, but it ends up being a one trick poney for me. 
 

Mizuno made an MP-T the same year as the MP-R...... the shape is different. T= Teardrop.

R= Rounded (egg shaped)

I didn’t even know they made the pal 2 in beryllium copper. 👍

 

This is actually my second one. My first one I got when I started playing golf 92, it was stolen in 93, replaced in 93’ and with me ever since! 
 

I played in a junior event without my Pal 2 after it was stolen. I hit every green in regulation except one, but I got on one of the par fives in two and shot 81, because I had to use my grandfathers putter since I didn’t have one which was in Acushnet Bullseye 🤢.  The kid I played with and kept score for won in the event shooting 71,  and told me if I practiced my putting, I’d be a great player.......... I felt like punching him in the face instead of congratulating him on his win 😝

Great.  Thanks for the info, bro.  Take care.

I made some changes to better gap distances and some other aesthetic appeals 

 

Driver Ping G410 lst 9* at 7.5* . I added a UST Proforce V2 black 65 X-Flex in addition to my trusty  Aldila Xtorsion Copper 60TX. Both are 44.5 inches

 

3 Wood HL (4 Wood) 16.5* Tour Edge CBX119 with a PX Evenflow 85 6.0 at 42 inches with some ugly lead tape added that I don’t see at address so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

 

5 Wood 19*(modern 7 wood)  Adams Tight Lies (Women’s🏌️‍♀️) with a PX Evenflow Black 85 6.0 at 41.5 inches with a Winn Midsize Dri-Tac grip (I love this club) 

 

Drving Iron (2) 18* Adams DHY with a Matrix DEUS HD8 (89g) at 40 inches with a Winn Dr-Tac Midsize grip at D3.5

 

4 iron 20* Cobra King Forged Tec (2016) with a Modus 105s hs/x1 at 39 inches at D3.75 Golf Pride MCC +4 standard grip

 

5-PW Mizuno MP 20 HMB’s with Modus 105s hs/x1 at 1/2 over standard  length at D4.5 

 

Gap Wedge (2006)Mizuno MP-R 52*-7* Bent to 51*-6* with a Modus 105s hs/x1 1/2 over length

 

Sand Wedge (2006) Mizuno MP-R 58*10* bent to 56*-8* with a Dynalite Gold XP s300 8 iron shaft at 35.5 inches which is what I play my 51* at as well so 1/2-3/4 over standard SW playing length

 

Putter Ping Pal 2 since 92’ with a hideous Winn jumbo grip

 

Ball Bridgestone BX 

 

Titleist Hybrid 14 bag (😒 ,club tangle) 

Ghost Magnetic towel (❤️the 👻)

Leather Headcovers (Golfashion-Valem) on e’Bay 👍👍⚾️ 

Muni-Kids Putter cover 🔥 

 

Very happy with my Gapping at the moment. I had a bit of a struggle filling the 4 iron spot, but I love the (2016) King forged Tec. 

At some point I will post my gapping from the TopTracer range, but I haven’t gone through my whole bag there yet. Just some Driver, 3 Wood, 5Wood, (DI) 2iron, 4iron, 4Hybrid, 5 iron and my back up driver that I label under 2 Wood which is a Titleist 905r 9.5* with a UST Proforce v2 75x (bumblebee shaft) from 2006
