Here is my bag for the next little bit! I have two drivers because my PXG now has a weird rattle and I am going to have to send it back to fix it. I can post other pictures if anyone is interested in different shots.
Driver - PXG PROTO 9* with LA GOLF TRONO 65TX
Driver - Titleist TSI3 9* with AD DI 6X
3 wood - PXG 0341X 15* with Diamana S+ 70X
2 iron - SIM UDI with Diamana Thump
Irons - 4-PW Miura MB 101 with Project X 7.0
Wedge - 50* Taylormade MG2 black
Wedge - 56* and 60* Taylormade MG2 TW grind
Putter - Scotty Cameron Futura 5W

@donbo
I purchased the 16* 3W, I wasn't sure if it was legit so I called Taylormade Customer Service and they confirmed to me that they are making the clubs "Just like we used to" (reps words not mine) I have played a couple of rounds with it so far and honestly, it is a really solid club. I had a couple of duffs off the tee (user error) and my second shot 50 yards ahead from the tee in the rough was crushed. So far I have been very happy with my purchase.
I am planning writing up an Unofficial Review on the wood also but feel free to ask me any questions

Driver-PXG 0811x
3 wood- Callaway X2hot 15°
Driving iron-Ben Hogan UiHi 18°
Irons- Ben Hogan 4-PW Fort Worth White 
Wedge- Ben Hogan Equalizer 52
Wedge- Callaway Mack Daddy PM grind 58
Putter- Odyssey White Hot 
Ball- Taylormade TP5 Pix
 

They look fantastic! Definitely gonna try one 🙂

^ Nice .. very nice! Glad to hear you and and your 0211s are now friends ☺️

I usually play Z-Star but have played the QST, and the regular Ionomer Q-Star. Its hard to come to a conclusion based on my performance,  but definitely a noticeable difference in consistency across the box between the premium balls, and the budget balls.

This is a confidence shaker in the brand. Be interested to see the results of the other balls from Srixon.

Love the driver, have thought about getting the exs 220 model, but can’t bring myself to take this one out of my bag! Prior to this I had predominantly played Titleist drivers but the Tour Edge Exotics EXS outperformed it. 

That's a fantastic bag, how do you like the driver, I was fitted for it and really liked it, but ended up picking a different model.

Hi everyone since I’m a new member I figured I would do a what’s in the bag too.  Most of my bag was replaced this year for the time in about 10 years.  Here is my current setup:
driver: Titleist TS4 9.5degree 
3 wood: Rocketballz 3 wood 17 degree
hybrid: Titleist TS2 23degree
4-5irons:  Titleist T200
6-PW: Titleist T100S 
wedges:  vokey 50degree sm8, vokey 56degree sm7, vokey 60degree sm6
putter: Ping sigma kinloch C

Shock, horror, amazement .02% - I hit it straight down the middle and overall played ok. Only lost 3 balls of which 2 were ones I found. Mind you we realised after having to wait 15 min on 12 that we should have picked a shorter course, 6500m (7150yds) as by the time we finished we had walk 9.7km. When we got up from the seat on 12 everything had started to stiffen which is not good when you have a 185m/203y par 3 over water - goodbye TP5x I found.
Boy did I feel it when I finished. Sore back, shoulders, feet and absolutely stuffed.
Was great to be out playing again, it was a nice birthday present.
Now we look forward to Saturday.
 

I watched a couple videos on breathing exercises to help with performance anxiety and lower heart rate, and have tried to use some of those on the course. You'd be amazed what having a clear head and good breathing will do to your golf game. I also believe they did a segment on breath control on a TXG video that I enjoyed as well. With so many mechanics and positions to worry about, sometimes the most effective way to play well is to calm down and have fun :)

I makes my ball-flight lower, and it feels strange having weight above my hands. Sometimes I'll choke down for punch shots, with moderate results.

I'm all about the different swing lengths to hit in between distances. If I was to move my hands down, then I need to change my setup to stand closer, which then changes my downswing angle, etc. -- a lot of added variables in a repeatable swing.
I go with the 7:30/9/10:30 swing distances for each club, so then I know what length of swing shows what distance, and play from there.

With irons I only grip down (and play the ball back) to lower the ball flight which does result in less distance for me.  
At the top of the bag I will grip down with the driver and fairway woods to get a little less distance if there is something out there I don't want to reach.

Interesting reading everyone’s strategy. Basically a few ways to control distance - change the length of the club, change the length of the swing, or change the speed using a full swing.

My follow on would be do you control distance with you full swing and distance wedges the same way?

Tomorrow is my first game in over 3 months due to lockdown. Have not even swung a club during that time. So I am on the first tee, here is what I believe are the odds of where I think it will go.
.02% Straight
39% Right - My default is to aim right unconsciously
60.8% Left - Usual bad swing is out to in.
Grabbed a few used balls as the course has lots of water and deep rough.
The good news is that we are not yet allowed to play comps so no pressure, just lots of laughs.
Will let you know.

Old muscle backs are about all I play.  Ram Tour Grinds are largely my thing, though I have a soft spot for MP37s.  They work quite well.  
There's a whole world of clubs out there that can really give you a feel for what golf used to be like.  If you're inclined in that direction, of course.

I'm surprised no one has said " Go with a 300 yard putt".
Sometimes I putt too hard anyway.!😀😀😀😀

I would prefer to never 3 putt. My driver mid to short game are good. my long irons and putting are my weaknesses. That's why I decided not to go pro and stayed amateur when I was in playing in college. My putting has always struggled when I matters not so much when practicing or playing with friends. I was the last group for winning a national title with a par 18 to go I drive the green and 4 putted to lose by one stroke. Most embarrassing moment of my life at that time.
