Hacker Rod Signing In


Recommended Posts

Greetings, all.  I've been doing a lot of equipment research the last few weeks as I plan to upgrade most of my bag over the next year or two. 

I love golf, but a brutal work schedule combined with Michigan weather only allows me to get out a half dozen or so times a year. I've played just 4 rounds thus far in 2018. If I kept a handicap it would be considered high.  I'm above average in distance, and my irons are probably the strength of my game. It's erratic tee performance and my inconsistent short game that really let me down, and I know I need to play more for the latter to really improve. I'm convinced that with updated equipment and a little more time on the course, I'm capable of breaking 90 occasionally, if not consistently. 

My bag overhaul will begin with new irons and wedges.  My Cobra S2 Max's have served me well over the years, at least I think they have, but my miss is a pull/hook, and the Cobra's generous offset exacerbates that issue. On the short list to replace the Cobras are the JPX 919 Hot Metal and/or Forged, Srixon Z585, Cobra King FTB, and P790's.  I had the AP1 and AP3 on the list, but I'm turned off by the 43-degree wedges.  I also intended to demo the Ben Hogan PTx, but they're currently listed as "out of stock" on the website.  They have not responded to my email, which is a huge turnoff for me.  Right now the CBX is the only model wedge I'm considering. That's where I'm hoping to see the biggest return on my investment.

My current bag:

TE Exotics XCG6 10.5
TM SLDR Mini Driver/3W 14
TE Exotics Trilogy 3W 15
Nickent 4DX IronWood 20
Cobra S2 Max 4-GW (graphite, stiff)
Cleveland 588 RTX 56, 60
Original Rife 2-Bar Putter

Yes, that's 15. I hit the Mini Driver like a driver, so more often than not the XCG6 stays at home.

Feel free to chime in if you think I'm overlooking anything else I should be considering. I have zero prejudices, and zero brand loyalty. As you can see from the mishmash of clubs already in the bag, I'll play whatever helps my score.
