My 2018 WITB (to start the year anyway!)


Recommended Posts

IMG_4100.JPG

Been a LOT of changes to my bag this year as I picked up the game in earnest again after a long 5-6 year stretch of only playing 1-3 times a year. Trial and error has led me to all of the clubs that I have in the bag now:

Ping G400 Driver 9* loft Ping Tour 65 shaft

Ping G400 3 wood 14.5* loft Ping Tour 75 shaft

Ping G30 19* hybrid Ping Tour 85 shaft (just picked the shaft up off of ebay)

Srixon Z565 4-7 irons with UST Recoil 95 shafts

Srixon Z765 8-PW with UST Recoil 95 shafts and some lead tape to get swing weights in line with the 565's

Cleveland RTX-3 52 and 58 degree raw wedges

IMG_4102.JPG

Edel E-3 Torque Balanced Putter, 34" 72* lie angle. Still searching for the right grip for this one but I LOVE the putter itself

Bushnell Rangefinder and Shotscope V2 have been big additions to my game this year and have really helped me improve.

 

Will be looking to add either a Utility iron or 5 wood to fill the extra spot in my bag. Hoping to get down to scratch this year.

Great setup- gotta love the lead tape- old school! 

 

my setup remains the same- with one potential exception- whether and when I decide to put the MLA into play.  I wasn't too keen on starting out on cold, wet and slow greens,  I want to spend some time on the practice green this spring, comparing it to my Cleveland and seeing which feels better, then making that choice...MTF.

Nice setup, you like the Raw finish in those beautiful wedges! I'm a Cleveland man myself.

 

Have a great season buddy!

Thank you! I really like the raw finish in the wedges. I used to have an old set of Callaway Prototype Raws back in the early 2000s and I had been missing that look and feel. Glad I went back that way.

Santa was really kind to me, starting the year with practically a new bag! G400 3W and irons, 4-UW, along with a EvnRoll ER3. I like the wingback look and it feeled amazing. Hoping to get out this weekend to get my new toys dirty!

Let us know how you like the irons and the differences between old and new. I have a G400 crossover but am drooling over the irons.

I have the same Recoil 95 F4's in the wedges as well. It's been a really good shaft profile for me.

So tinkerers are gonna tinker right? I wasn't able to get the bounces where I wanted them on the RTX wedges and have since went back to some Vokey SM5's in raw black. Also added another wedge so I am now 46PW, 50F, 54M,60L. Added a little custom stamping to the Vokeys and am happy to say i am getting better at it.

G30 hybrid is in time out after an ill timed hook cost me in the Member-Member recently. I am bagging two Srixon ZU45 utility irons now and loving them.

 

Updated my 5-7 irons to matching S765 irons instead of the 565's that I was using. Distance control is better but they are a little harder to elevate.

Putter is still a merry go round. Hoping to find the right dance partner soon. I have ordered a Cure CX1 to throw in the audition rotation.
