What equipment are you thinking about?

Recommended Posts

Thinking about new wedges....although have no idea which ones.   I think I may hold off until I read more of the Ping wedge reviews and I go to myrtle beach for my family vacation and see what the PGA Superstore has on sale.  

 

Also thinking about a new putter/  I am keeping my eye out for either a Tad Moore or a TP Mills.  Again don't know which one,  and will just wait until I see one that appeals to my eye.

I just went through the same struggle. Good luck. My wife was about to slap me I kept asking her which wedges, these or those, this one or that one. Finally she got it right and I bought them. Same with the putter. Took me 2 weeks to decide between 4 different things. It's tough to change wedges, they are my magic wands, don't want to mess with it. But they don't make mine anymore, so these better be an upgrade!

Someone quick tell me why I shouldn't buy Bridgestone J15 wedges over Another brand. They're in the cart all I have to do is click submit. Anyone game these things? Talk me out of it, or into it.

I have, my dad has them. Not a fan, too spatula like for my taste. They perform well, just doesn't suit my eye. Ended up getting the Cobra's, hit them last year and liked them.

Thinking about new irons. Looking at Ping and Callaway. After "snowbirds" leave I'll head over to local golf shop and hit a few different clubs. Last 3 months couldn't get near any golf shop.

Just picked up a classic set of forged blades Powerbilt H&B Grand Slams which still had the plastic on the heads. Also picked up a Krank Golf Rage 3 wood and put a Fujikura Fuel shaft in it. Picked up a MIURA 53 degree wedge about a month ago so I'm good for a few years. Same driver in the bag for 3 years now Callaway Tour Authentic Razr Fit 8.5 degree

I also hit the forged JPX 900 tour irons, but the performance wasn't good enough for my misses.

The hot metal, was hands down, superior - it wasn't even close (for me).

 

If you haven't hit those yet - give them a shot.  I hit them with the Project X LZ shafts in them - amazing!!

Need some advice golf spies!

 

I have room for one more club in my bag.

Here's what I've got

 

Driver.... 9.5*....................~240 yards

Fairway wood.... 15.5*.....~225 yards

Hybrid.... 21*....................~200 yards

- - - (4 degrees of difference between irons)

5i...(23*)............~180 yards

6i ~ 170

7i ~ 160

8i ~ 150

9i ~ 135

PW...(45*)..............~115

GW...(50*).............~100

SW...(54*).............~85

LW...(58*).............~75

 

As you can see I've got a 6 degree loft difference between Driver and Fairway wood and a 5 and a half degree difference between Fairway wood and hybrid.

 

I'm thinking either

- 18* club to fit between the hybrid and fairway wood

- 13* club to fit between driver and fairway wood

- 60* wedge

 

What would you choose?

Driver-  Cobra  Aerojet LS
Woods-
Cobra  LTD 3w 15*, 5W 19*,  F9 24* 
Irons- XXIO X (6-A)

Wedges- Callaway Jaws Raw (54/58)

Putter- Bettinardi BB56
Ball- Maxfli Tour X
Buggy- Motocaddy M7 GPS Remote Electric Caddy
Bag- Motocaddy Dry-Series

Proudly testing for 2024:

When I look at that, the gap I see is between the hybrid and the 5 iron. With the longer clubs you don't need the gaps to be so small.

 

Instead of looking at lofts, try writing down the average distances for each stick. Maybe that will identify the needs.

There is no spoon.

Good call... Just got new clubs and only played 3 times with them but updated my post to include approximate yardages.  (+/- 10 yards, usually)

IMHO, my $0.02, and etc. but .. .. unless you're good at hitting your 9i to different distances I'm seeing a gap at 125 yards...

 

Maybe first tweak your lofts to hit all the "scoring" distances?

Started my march to finding replacements for the current equipment in the bag.  Hit a Titleist demo day yesterday.  Kept an open mind and hit almost everything that I could (being a lefty sometimes these demo days are the only times I can demo clubs).  I was leaning towards AP2 for irons, but surprisingly liked the AP1's.  While not as buttery smooth like my Mizuno MP-57's, they didn't have the harsh feel of a cast club, plus they were definitely a club longer than the comparable AP2 (due to the stronger lofts) and my own MP-57's.  Loved the 917 driver/FWW/hybrids but wasn't as excited for the SM6 after hitting them (I currently bag the original SM's).  What really got my attention was the T-MB 2 iron.  It felt awesome and I was able to consistently hit it out there (for me anyways).  So now that's on my ponder list but at ~$200 a club, it would probably place it out of my budget.  Onto next week's demo day that has Mizuno, Cleveland and Srixon and then a few weeks later Callaway, at which point I'll make a decision for a bag redo...
