POLL! Crowdsourcing Barbajo's Bag for Scotland - Driver/Wedge/Putter

[GolfSpy Barbajo]

So the Srixon Z765's are in the bag, with the '92 vintage Hogan Edge's most likely taking the trip as well (won't commit until I start packing).  Now it's time to fill out the bag...

 

Driver:

 

Mizuno JPX 900 -- been my gamer most of the season. It's a bomber! Been a little wild and erratic with it lately, so it's taking a bit of a time out, but it's been a reliable performer for me all season. 

 

Wilson C300 -- Have gamed it a few times - not a fan of the Fujikura shaft, so I'm not feeling it. With the right shaft, though, it would have a chance. 

 

Cleveland Launcher HB - Even with a HZRDOUS Yellow, it still launches too high for me. It's long and straight, but not sure something that launches that high s a good idea.  Now, if I could get that shaft in the Wilson, we might have something...

 

Nike Vapor Flex 440 -- this one never seems to go away for me. May not be the longest driver in the world, but it's long enough and, what's more, I can hit it straight and low. Seems like it might be the perfect recipe for Scotland.

 

Wedges:

 

Cleveland CBX 49, 54,60 - Not sure about bringing a 60 to Scotland, although we will be playing some more traditional Parkland courses.  These are easy, but I've had the chipping yips with these for some reason.

 

Callaway Mac Daddy PM Grind 56, 60 - Again, not sure about the 60, but these are EASY to get out of the sand, and I do like the grinds for versatility, which might be important over there. 

 

Hogan Riviera 56 - picked this up in the used bin a few weeks ago - it might very well be the best wedge I've ever hit. Grooves are still in decent shape and the thing is freaking HEAVY. But it's a dandy wedge. 

 

Bridgestone Tour B X wedges, 52,56 - Forged, like the Hogan, and pretty crisp. Traditional blade wedge, not a lot of tech, but wonderful feel.

 

Putters;

 

Bettinardi/Hogan Baby Ben - mallet and when the stroke is on, it's a sold feeling putter. Specs are dialed in - 33" and 69* lie angle with an oversized Bettinardi grip.  Distance is spot on, alignment can be an issue at times. 

 

Bettinardi Queen B 8 - my go to putter last year after a fitting at Bettinardi HQ. Struggled with it early, but it's dynamite. 

 

Edel Willamette - first fully fit putter I've ever had, and when my stroke is on this thing is absolute money. 

 

I have some other putters, but these are the three that have been consistent gamers this season. 

 

Lemme know what you think, gang....

Gonna go in reverse to mess you up a little.

Putter I'd say go with the queen B.

Wedges- Bridgestone wedges 52 and 56

Driver- Nike especially since it goes straight

Ok, I voted before reading your description of each.  yep, I put things together then read the instructions...ha

 

So I'll change my driver vote from the C300 to the  Nike Vapo!  I stand by everything else.

I am mostly in agreement with Rob; take the Edel putter and Mac Daddy PM Grind 56  I'd leave the 60s at home

[Wedgie]

I'd take them all and leave the wife.

  Now, if I could get that shaft in the Wilson, we might have something...

 

A torch, shaft puller, and some epoxy you can have the drive of your dreams. The problem is this normally does not work out the way you were dreaming it would.

 

I remember meeting you in Texas to play The Tribute, thinking my old Hogan CFT's and new Scor wedges would be the dream combination. although I had just got the wedges the day before, and I was horrible with them. Note, I didn't say they were horrible. I was the problem. I ended up playing well with this setup for over a year.

 

Therefore, who gives a crap what we think, play what you are most comfortable with.
