1) Most recently the Cobra King F6+ driver, Nike Vapor Flex driver, 2016 edition, Callaway Apex iron set, Callaway Mack Daddy wedges and Cleveland 2135 counterbalanced putters.
2) I have always been an equipment junkie. Since the local big stores do not carry everything that is available, it is hard to be exposed to some equipment that might be best for me but, not on the racks of the local store.
3) research and frequent tuneup lessons have combined to make me a better golfer despite advancing age.
4) Confidence in my purchases has saved me from the eternal search to improve by buying more and more equipment. My choices are remaining in the gamer bag for much longer.
