Stuck in the bag: What won't you update in 2018?

[Golfspy_CG2]

Really Good Question:

 

Answering in GS Dave's format:

 

Driver: Titleist 917D3 (always accepting auditions for this fickle spot)

 

FW: Titleist 917F2 18 Degree-This could be the one, no chance this is going anywhere anytime soon.

 

Hybrid: Titleist 816 H1 21 and 23 degree Same as F2 FW, unless the 818 hybrids are much better somehow.

 

Irons: Mizuno JPX900 Hot Metal, they are in the bag for testing and doing well, but will have to hold off a challenge from the Titleist 718 AP3's and Mizuno MMC/FLi Hi combo when they come out.

 

Wedges: Vokey SM6  They aer the longest running clubs in the bag now. beginning of 2016 season. Like others have said, if they lose out it will be to the new Vokeys in 2018

 

Putter: SC X7M-Right there with Vokey wedges, in the bag since beginning of 2016.  But will get a challenge from Toulon Indianapolis 

 

 

Overall very happy with 95% of my bag right now.

Putter:  But will get a challenge from Toulon Indianapolis 

 

LOVE the look of that putter!

[cnosil]

My bag is pretty much set; unless something better comes along or I go get a complete fitting and there is something that provides a performance improvement.

 

Driver: I have two but the Srixon seems to be treating me well so no reason to replace.

 

Fairway: I like my exotics fairway but it is probably the club I would change on a whim. No real attachment to this club. Works well off the tee and pretty well from the fairway

 

Hybrids: evolving into my favorite clubs in the bag. Both the 816 and 915 are great from the tee and fairway. Only battle will be what shaft stays in the club as I am doing MGS testing on a hybrid shaft. Hopefully the thread on that will start soon.

 

Irons: Least likely to be changed out. I keep irons in the bag for a long time. Last set was 10 years and I am only in year 3 for these

 

Wedges: struggling with the 50 and in pitching so these clubs rotate often and could be replace if I find something better. I do know the problem is me and not the club but I am hoping the threat of being replaced helps them behave

 

Putter: my weak spot. I love trying different putters but I keep going back to my taylormade simply because it is a good fit for my stroke. Always on the lookout for something without an insert and less loft to get a slightly better fit. Scared to change loft on the current putter since I dong want to mess up how the putter sits at address. Just love the craftsmanship and design features associated with putters.

 

 

In the end I hit all my clubs pretty well and don't have a big desire to change.

[Jmikecpa]

J, do you have your ~200 putters on rotation?

Sometimes.  I have a few that are gamers, some that are not and bunch that I just bought because I liked them or thought I liked them.

[hckymeyer]

I don't have any plans to replace anything, but at the same time nothing is safe in the life of a club ho...

 

Driver - SLDR 430 (I've been trying to kick it out of the bag for 4 seasons and haven't been able to yet.  I don't see it changing)

 

No fairway woods 

 

Hybrids - Adams Super LS (love these and don't see them going anywhere unless something else changes and I need to re-gap)

 

Irons - TMaG Speedblades (they work and I'm comfortable with the distances, if something comes along though I'm open)

 

Wedges - Scor (I really like them, but I've been eyeing MIzzy T7 or RTX 3.  Just depends on the deal but my 58 is getting pretty worn)

 

Putter - Played an Evnroll ER5 all season but just bought an Odyssey red 7s and will use it for the first time today.  (This is a revolving door but hopefully the 7s can stay for a while)

[excourse]

No reason to change anything, I'm a happy camper.

There's a lot of folks saying they won't change anything.

 

We need to make sure we revive this thread mid season next year to see who's in denial about being a club ho.

No denial here, the number of clubs I've bought over the last 3 years that haven't made the bag is a large number.

[DFSPFD]

Driver is always on the hotseat...Anyone on here compared 2017 M1 440 head to head with Cobra's offerings? Seems like guys who play cobra absolutely swear by them, curious what it's all about?

[Golfspy_CG2]

LOVE the look of that putter!

Same here.  I commented on it in the Toulon thread when I first saw it at the PGA Show.   Have you seen pictures of Ed Settles' blue he had made in the Garage.  I just about hit the floor when I saw that one,.

Pretty sure everything in my bag is staying put for now. But the spring sales haven't started yet lol. Just never know. One bad hook and a driver ad moments later and who knows what happens.

Sa-weeeeet. That putter looks awesome. Here is my exact quote from the main blog post

 

"I have come back to this post to ogle that putter more times than I can count. I really love the look and design. I am not a mallet guy, but the silver metal part satisfies my blade fetish while the black fin portion looks awesome! Would love to roll that beauty"

 

It's in the same price range as the evnroll. We shall see. I always chicken out of club purchases. I am the opposite of a club ho. 

[chemclub]

Actually it's pretty obvious what I need to do. 

 

Evnroll blade

Indy mallet

 

That way I am covered. Have to be smart about this.

[Berg Ryman]

Driver: Nike SQ460. Easily need an upgrade, but question is whether I want to upgrade. This driver has been my baby for the last 10 years and has been my favorite club for a long time. Tough to retire it, but it Nike out of business and no place to send it for repairs, it just might be time. Perhaps if/when I pass the bar I'll treat myself.

 

FW: Tour Edge CB4 Tour 4 Wood. In the bag, not coming out unless there is a huge overhaul in the set-up, which seems unlikely.

 

Hybrid: None currently, perhaps may make a move for a solid 3 hybrid or...

 

Irons: Cobra F7 One Length, Just bought them this year and no chance of me changing them out, only thing may be an addition of the 4 iron, perhaps in place of the earlier mentioned 3 hybrid, will be an interesting decision.

 

Wedges: WIlson Staff FG Tour. Likely gone, replaced with a Cobra One Length King 60* wedge to match the wedges from the iron set.

 

Putter: Nickent Pipe. It would take something herculean to get this putter out of my bag. Like a putter that guarantees a one putt on every green. Never leaving, as long as I keep on making putts.

[fozcycle]

Well there is not much room for revisions....

 

Driver: Wilson Staff Triton quite probably the best I have ever gamed

 

Fairways: Cobra F6 3/4 and Cobra F6 4-5 Baffler .....nope these aren't going anywhere.

 

Hybrid: currently none in bag BUT I game a Cobra Bio Cell 2-3 when I pull the 3-4 wood out and adjust the Baffler to a 4 wood.

 

Irons: Ben Hogan Ptx 4-PW ...nope, these aren't going anywhere either.

 

Wedges: Ben Hogan Tkt 49/53/57...nope these aren't going anywhere.

 

Putter: currently gaming SC Kombi but am working my Evnroll E6 back into the bag. I lost confidence this summer but know it is the best.

Great thought. A man can never have too many great putters. Especially those two.

 

I can't remember. Are you in the FF league? There is an ER5 up for grabs there for 1st place. Although it's not a blade. But still wouldn't be a bad addition.

Thanks for the heads up. I just don't have time for FF. Plus, I enjoy just watching my team (Packers) on Sundays without worrying about anything else but getting a win. Maybe one day.

[bens197]

Driver 913 D3 Diamana Whiteboard - gets the job done

3w 904F YS-6 - probably replace next year

i5 3-P - Torn between 718mb, iBlade and 900tours

 

(Don't judge, I played 9 for the first time in a month and shot 34. I used to play 962b's and 670's and went to i5 because I acquired a

"golf shop swing")

 

Wedges Mizuno t7 52 and Cleveland 588 58*. - they're new.

 

PING Anser 2 from 1998. I'll never switch this one.

My driver GBB Epic Sub Zero will stay for a while. Irons Nike VRS Forged will likely stay. 3 wood Adams Speedline WILL stay. 3 hybrid Taylormade RBZ likely will stay. Wedges and putter only thing will hopefully make an exit.

The only plans I have right now are giving the KZG's I bought from deejaid several months ago a try. Thought I'd send them off to my fitter to have him reshaft them and set um up for me. They're beautifully forged irons and I'm itching to try them. I just wanted to finish the season with my Wishons. Which by the way have been my best irons ever! They'll be hard to put aside but we'll see.

Other than that nothing else. Well... maybe a new driver in the spring. But, my old 2014 SLDR will have to cave in before that happens.

[tony@CIC]

My putter is the least likely to get updated. The most likely = driver.

The grooves on my wedges and high irons are sadly worn out.  Probably should have been replaced a season or two ago.  Unfortunately I fell victim to the driver shaft death loop and spent a good portion of my golf budget on shafts.  Not to mention I really like my irons and have developed a good relationship with them.  It kind of feels like I'm dumping a really cool girl after many years just because she put on some weight.  Gotta have that spin though   

[Rekklss]

Change the bag, maybe.

When the driver/3 wood face collapses ... change heads. Shafts are all perfectly fit.

[Rekklss]

Hmm. Pix did not post.

Titleist 12° 913 - Diamana white x. Titleist 910F 15° - Diamana white x. Titleist 712U - 2 iron, Titleist 3& 4 with Tru Temper XP s shafts. Titleist 5-PW 681 Blades on KBS Tour C-TAPER s. Miura 53 & 58- KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 S.

Evnroll EV2 putter. All fitted. All sweet. Bag could be lighter.

[Jmikecpa]

So over the weekend I finally decided to give my bag that I got fit for last offseason a shot and actually see how they perform.

 

Driver:  Titleist 917 D3 HZRDUS Yellow 6.5 76g.  Played this on and off this year with some success.  More just need to get comfortable with it but seems safe in the bag.

 

3 wood:  Titleist 917 F2 Diamana Blueboard 83x.  Safe as safe can be for this one.  I hate three woods and this is about as on par as I will ever get with one.

 

Hybrid:  Titleist 816 H1 19* Fuji Speeder Motore 8.8x.  Just there for now, not really liking the head size and would consider and H2 with the same shaft in it.  Looks a bit bulky to my eye.

 

Irons:  Titleist 716 TMB 4 - PW with TTDG AMT S300.  These really never even got a shot this year since I just was not able to use steel shafts due to injury.  Seems that has worked itself out with some therapy and meds so I have been cleared to give these a go.  On the bench are my trusty Adams XTD Forged irons with C Taper 130x shafts that will be going in if the TMBs don't live up to expectations.

 

Wedges:  Vokey SM6 52 and 58, SM5 62.  Not going anywhere anytime soon. 

 

Putter:  I change putters like I change socks.  For now it is back to a blade and have a custom shop Notchback in the bag along with a Circle T Circa 62.  Either should be fine for the next few days at least

[JTexGolfer]

Driver: No driver in the bag in the moment. Need to break down and finally get fit for one.

 

3 Wood: Cobra King LTD is VERY secure. Love this thing off the tee.

 

5 Wood: TaylorMade M1 3HL set to 19*. Like it but may try a hybrid. I have a 3/4 F7 hybrid on order and if I like it I might get a 2/3 as well and kick the 5 wood.

 

Irons: Srixon 565/765 mixed set. Kicking the 4 iron out for a hybrid because of a needed gap but love the irons otherwise.

 

Wedges: Vokey SM6's. LOVE them. Not going anywhere.

 

Putter: Love the roll my ER1 puts on the ball but I am having alignment issues, regardless of putter brand. If they persist I am intrigued by doing a SAM Lab session or an Edel fitting. 

[chemclub]

I might be replacing my 3 wood but not with a new club (I really don't hit 3 wood enough to justify a new club purchase).

 

I have been ballooning the JPX lately and losing some distance. I have an old Titleist 980F that I dropped because it has a really small head and I went looking for something with more forgiveness. But, steel shaft, 15*, it produces the most penetrating ball flight of any fairway wood I have tried. So I'm thinking of pulling a Stenson and putting an oldie but goodie back into play.

[Brian A]

I have to admit I think I finally got my bag right! Dont think I'll get rid of anything this season
