I absolutely love my Ping 3wood. If my driver is angry with me, as is often the case, I can go to the fairway finder & count on a straight shot nearly every time. Its also so smooth off the deck...probably my favorite club in the bag.

I've had amazing luck with Maxfli Tour and Tour X the past 2 years. 

My absolute favorite ball on the market Maxfli tour x!  I doubt you would be disappointed especially for the price of the 48 pack

Chrome Tour worth a look and Maxfli Tour X

Best:
 
GBB Epic. Not leaving the bag for a while.
 
Srixon 765.
 
ER2/MLA - torn between the two
 
818 H2. Just $$$
 
Treating my dad to pebble for his birthday a few years back.
 
WORST.
 
TOO MANY
 
Taylormade burner 1.0 irons
 
Apex Pro. Good set but nothing better than my 814 AP2
 
TiFi Cero. Not horrible but literally played 2 rounds with it.
 
The 5 drivers I bought in 2014.

Best
1. The Grint with shot tracking. It lets me know my distances accurately and the free stats are really helpful.
2. FootJoys. They look great and I got them for $80 new at a boxing day sale. I can walk multiple rounds in a day and my feet are fine.
3. UnderArmour gloves. I was unsure as I've never bought anything UA before but they're high quality very reasonably priced.
4. Big Bertha Alpha used online. Just bought it this year but it's miles ahead of my old X460.
5. Cleveland 588 CBs. I love hitting them. They offer enough forgiveness and feedback that I know exactly what the problem was after each shot. Plus they feel like butter when striped.
 
Worst
 
1. This is not the products fault but I go through 2 hats per season because they get covered in sweat stains.
2. Lessons with a baaaaad coach. His "range" was indoors at a hockey rink and it was only about 25 yards long. He showed me a video of Adam Scott and told me to be like him. It was horrible. I've never felt so ripped off in my life.
3. I got a set of brush tees for Christmas, and I hated them. It's just not the same.
 
I must be lucky because those are all I have for negatives, but I have around 5 more positives. Then again, I haven't been golfing as long as most of you.

Top 2
 
1. PING G driver
2. PING Anser 2 1966 Karsten
 
 
Bottom 2
 
1. Cobra wedges... they suck

3. TaylorMade M1 460, Project X HZRDUS Black 6.0
4. Cleveland Huntington Beach 1

Worst:
1. All of my other putters, none of which helped me improve
2. Premium golf balls (I could probably do just as well with cheaper balls... yet I still buy Pro V1x's )
3. A $70 handmade leather yardage book cover. (Looks fantastic, but definitely not something I need...)
4. Nike Sleek Modern Plaque belt (broke after only a couple times wearing it)
5. Any other club I bought 'cause I thought it would make me a better player.

Name's Caleb. I'm from Alaska. Most of the playing I get is on a simulator. But I love it and love it even more when I get to play outside. Try to do a week long golf-cation every year and play 36 holes a day. 
 
Currently playing a Taylor Made M4 driver and 3 Wood. Ping i10s for irons, which I'm currently looking to replace. Lots of shopping around. And a set of Cleveland Wedges, which were gifted to me after my amazing set of Pure Spins all took a dump. I miss those wedges still. But the Cleveland's have been great. I am striking a Taylor Made Ghost putter and I love it and don't know that I'll ever swap it. One of those clubs  when you grab it you just know it feels like the right match. 
 
Anyway, that's what's in my bag! Currently made the playoffs in the league I'm in and hoping to take home first place!

Wooden tees..
Most important categories Brand wise… 
Clubs…. MacGregor 
Balls…  Maxfli 

I think DTCs like Haywood, Takomo and Red Rooster are brands that a few years ago were totally unheard of.  All are basically DTC that built their brand through Instagram.
I remember putting these names in my bag and guys would just grab it and ask me all about it.

I'm curious about the i525 irons from Ping. Currently playing Ping G410's and think I may be ready to step up from GI irons. I'm currently about a 15 handicap, but definatly seem to have lost some distance the last couple years. Any advice is appreciated

As a big fan of putters I tend to go to my local play it again every couple weeks to see if they have anything interesting. This time I found a brand new PXG Gen5 0311 Hybrid with a Ventus Blue Velocore shaft for 120 bucks. I had been looking to consolidate my 2 hybrids into one and this fit the bill perfectly so I trade them both in and ended up pay 20 bucks for it. 
 

Why are you playing the ball you are?
I switched balls last year from Srixon ZXV to PV1X, then to PV1. PV1 gives me excellent green side spin, controllable low spin off the tee, and a penetrating ball flight. It's the best ball I've ever played.
What drew you to it in the first place?
I'd received sleeves of them in the past and quickly lost them, but when I did keep them in play, they felt great and had my desired flight. As I've gotten better over the last few years, I've sampled many different balls and found that this ball gives me the most consistency across all facets of my game.
What made you change from your previous ball?
I didn't mind the performance of the ZXV, but I felt like I could probably have a ball that would better suit my game. The PV1 and the PV1X were some of the recommended balls in a ballnamics ball fitting, and so I picked up a dozen of each to donate to the right side of my home course's fairways. I found that the PV1 gave me a tighter dispersion and longer distance off the tee as well as exceptional green side spin. I'm really happy with how dependable and consistent the ball is, and given Titleist's dedication to consistency, I know that every ball I get is going to play exactly the same. I had a hard time shelling out $55 for a dozen until the first full round that I played the PV1. It honestly helps my game that much that I'm willing to throw an extra $17 / dozen over the ZXV. Plus, I don't lose as many any more so it's easier to hide from the wife.
Do you play a different ball depending on the season or weather conditions?
Nope. It's been PV1 and I don't know that I'll look back. I adjust my yardages based on temperature, and the ball performs the same. Occasionally I will play random balls if I can't keep the driver in play.
What/Why would make you change again?
I'd have to find something that gives me the same controllable distance off the tee and the same high spin with my wedges and irons. I love the feel and performance when I strike the ball well (which is getting way more frequent!) and watching the ball hop once or twice and stop. I didn't have that kind of performance with any of the balls I played before, so I'm kinda really happy with what I have.
What ball will you never play, and why?
On the days that my driver is dogsh***, I will reach into my bag and play whatever "shag" balls I pick up off the course. I'll play anything except a Pinnacle - they feel rock hard and play spinny for me, so I just catch and release them back into their natural habitat.

Echoing the sentiments of comments already made by @Josh Parker & @GolfSpy_BEN, slow play, whether it is blatant or ignorant bliss, is by far what irks me the most on the course. It throws me out of a rhythm and annoys me to the point that sometimes I am better off just walking off or strictly treating the remainder of the round as practice. 
Watching a foursome on the green where three who are not putting stand around, then line up their putt only when it is their turn, irritates me to no end!!!

Along this vein, watching a slow-playing foursome in front of you all search for a lost ball. The absolute worst.

Whether it be with mannerisms or course layout or something else that just drives you nuts... What is it?
I'll start, mine is when people aren't ready to hit when it's their turn. I used to golf with one of my father-in-law's friends and every time it was his turn to hit, he would still be in the cart carrying on conversation, finishing a smoke, and just oblivious to everything else going on. Needless to say, I don't golf with him anymore.

I thought I already was... back when I said I had 3 Aces.  🤣

I think we need to ban you from that thread
