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

My XR16 3+ 14 degree. Absolute monster off the tee, as well as fairway. Going to try the M4, but if it's anything like the current ones, doubt I will like it. I feel like the M2 right now is very closed at address and makes more of a crunch sound at impact vs. a solid "ping" with other three woods. Not a fan.

I agree with the sound on the TaylorMade drivers. It almost sounds like the club is cracking to me when someone stripes one.

HOLY.

 

COW.

 

The difference between the Recoil 95's and the Steelfibers is night and day. Got my AP2's in today and they just came alive with these shafts. Had demoed them with KuroKage graphite (meh) before but wow did they feel great with these.

 

Was hitting them so good on the range that I went out and played a quick 9. Hit 8 greens and the only one I didn't "hit" was a par 5 that I drove it into the water on. Hit a 7 iron to 8 feet on 2 attachicon.gifFirst Iron Shot AP2 12 1 2017.JPG

and a PW to a foot attachicon.gifPW 12 1 2017.JPG on 9 for birdies. I hope work calms down so i can put these through more paces tomorrow!

I really like these irons and hit some really solid 6 and 8 iron practice shots yesterday.

 

And while I certainly have no complaints with the AMT Shafts, I can certainly see a possibke recoil installation in the spring, if they are going to be my long term irons.

No changes. Now I'll probably switch between my two bags for s&g but not buying or trading.

#1 TM R15 dr, Cobra Bio Cell 5w, Cobra Railer H 3~4 hy, Wishon 560 5~Aw, TM wedges 54 & 58, Heavy putter.

#2 TM SLDR dr, fw, 3~4 hy, Speedblades 5~SW, ATV 60, Rife putter

Edit to add: DawgDaddy sure tries to temp me with his "Deal of the day" thread.

I'm pretty happy with the Ping G400 irons. Distance is good as it can be for me but ball height is really good. Their going to be in the bag for awhile.

Everything else can be in jeopardy!

My Titleist 714 AP1 are safe as are the XR Hybrids.

Yes! I have an XR 4H that I'm pretty happy with and is very solidly stuck in the bag. In fact.... got a "backup" one off Callaway Pre-Owned!

 

Also been looking on there for an XR 3H but so far haven't seen one in Regular and in at least "Very Good" condition.

Driver - Cobra F6. I think I'm going to give the W/S C300 a shot.

Fairway - Cobra F6. Same with the FW.

Hybrids - TEE Ex9. May move back to the W/S D100s. They're that solid.

Irons - W/S C200s. Locked in until I can grab the C300 forged for cheap.

Wedges - Cleveland CBX. Not going anywhere.

Putter- Happy Putter. Not going anywhere.

Barring any unforseen events, The only changes I made to this - so far - is that I really did move back to the W/S D100ES's. They are such a forgiving club, they'll be hard pressed to leave the bag (if I keep my sanity).  I've tried the D200's (which performed well), the D300 (hated it), the TEE Ex9's (ok, but not great) ... and I keep coming back to the D100s. I'm going to stay Cobra at the top of the bag for now ... because being the cynic I am, I know the C300 will drop in price sooner rather than later (which is a shame for Wilson Staff). C200's, CBX's and Happy Putter remain locks for now as well.

What's in My Bag?

Driver: Cobra F6

Fairway: Cobra F6 3/4

Hybrids: Wilson Staff D100ES (4 & 5)

Irons: Wilson Staff C200 (6i to GW)

Nothing is ever permanent though I'm probably most happy with my ER2 putter. That will be extremely difficult to knock out of the bag.

I should get fitted for a new driver being that it was free. But I swapped shafts and I haven't found a driver that hits it better. So as of now I'm completely content with the bag. I may switch putters down the road but being a lefty is bs.

Being LH is a challenge. A Golf America store opened up 2 miles from us. Stopped in, looked around one one set of LH clubs and it was a low end set that going to sit there for a long time. They had a couple drivers with stiff staffs, swell for a senior community.
