Golfers: What's in your bag?
 

Having gone several months without swinging the sticks, I'm needing any kind of golf talk possible.....

So, those of you that play golf, what's in your bag? Any new clubs you've demoed, or would like to demo?

My sticks:

Cleveland Launcher 460 Composition (9.5 degree)

Cleveland Launcher Composition 3 Wood (15 degree)

Titleist 904F 5 Wood (18.5 degree)

Cleveland TA6 Irons

Adams gunmetal wedges (52, 56 and 60 degree)

Guerin Rife Mallet putter

Ball: Usually play Nike One Black. Also play Bridgestone B330 and Callaway HX Tour56.




I'm pretty happy with my driver, but am dying to demo the new Nike Sumo Squared. I'd really like to get some new irons this spring, but haven't even begun to look......

I have a black Ogio cart bag.

Driver: Taylormade R5 Neutral 10.5 degrees

Woods: Adams golf tight lies 3 and 5 woods

Irons: Adams golf tight lies irons 3-LW

Putter: Some crappy Dunlop one that I got accustomed to when I first started playing.

I generally play with Nike Mojos or Callaway HX Hots.

Everything but game.

Let's see...
Last time I checked:

9.5 V-Foil driver (I got pissed at my Callaway and bought this cheap...hit the $hit out of it)
Callaway 3 wood (15 degree)

1-PW Ping Eye 2. Bought new in 1985
Green dot, 1/2 extended
SW I believe is back to the trusty black dot

putter... Ping MyDay from early 80s.
Again...pissed at the TaylorMade

Ball....ProV1 of course.

I have two balls in my bag. The balls aren't dimpled, but the bag is.

a 12 pack

Sasquatch Driver (10.5)

Callaway Steel Head 3 & 5 fairway metals

Callaway Fusion Irons (1" long, 1.5 deg. upright)

Zebra Putter I've used for years and years.

I've played a zillion brands/types of balls. I played the Pro V1 alot last year.

TM R5 with NV

Mizuno MP-32 irons

Nickent Genex Cross 4, 7, 9 wood

Nickent 3DX 5 and 6 Hybrid

Mizuno MP Black Ox Wedges (51, 56 & 60 degree)


Titleist Scotty Cameron Futura putter



At any point I can be carrying 3-PW of my MP 32's or pull out the 3-6 iron and be playing with some combination of those fairway woods and hybrids. Depends on the wind and depends on what I have the most confidence at that given moment. Most people love the hybrids over long irons...I have traditionally prefered long irons but I finally found some hybrids that I like with these Nickents...I had tried everything under the sun and liked several but none better than my long irons. I finished last season really liking that Genex Cross 7 wood. It was my goto club at the end of the year. Three back surgeries over the winter so it is tough to say what will work best after a completely surgically repaired back.

driver - Taylor made r540
3, 5 wood - Callaway Big Bertha Warbird
3-9 iron - Ping Eye 2 - black dot
Wedges - Cleveland Gunmetal 588's, 47, 53 and 60 degree
Putter - Odyssey DFX Two Ball
Ball of choice - Precept U-Tri Tour

Ping TiSI Tech 8.5*

Titleist 980f 17*

Titelist 503h 19*

Titleist 704 CB irons

Cleavland 588 56*

Titleist 60* Vokey Wedge

Titleist Scotty Cameron Red-X

That was my favorite ball before it was discontinued. I actually bought 12 dozen last spring through TGW.com for $8.99/dz.

Ping Zing Brass putter
Cleveland 60,56 sw, 52
Nike Blades 2-PW
Cobra 3w &5w
Titlest 983K 9.5

Of course, depending on the track, 2 clubs have to stay in the trunk. Usually the 2 iron and the 52

I'm still looking for a 3 wood.....any recommendations?

luckily the small locally owned shop here in town has a boatload of these and i think that i'm pretty much the only one that buys them...

everyone else lines up to buy Pro V1's and HX Tour 56's...i like them, but you can find a nice 3 piece for much cheaper...

another one that i liked before it was discontinued was the Callaway HX Blues; i swear, they were almost as soft as the old Titleist Tour Balatas and Tour Professionals...you hit one thin and it's pretty much ruined..I still keep a few of these in my bag for scramble tournament golf, those gunmetal wedges can put some crazy spin on em

I just started playing about a year ago. I'm not any good yet. I normally land right around 100. This year my goal is to get to where I am consistently in the 90s. Mid or low would be great. I really plan on working hard.

I have some Taylor Made irons that I just bought toward the end of last season, I have only played a round or two with them but I really started liking them. Never had fitted irons before. My woods are Callaways that I picked up used - nothing fancy. I might go with Taylor Made ones when I replace them if I keep liking the irons as much as I do so far.
