Austin Banks - WITB 2019!

[Austin @austxd]

Hello everyone, I would just like to say, I am very new here and am not sure if this is posted in the right place.  Still learning Forums but, am excited to get into it!

Putter: Odyssey O-Works R-Line

Wedges: Ping Glide 2.0 50°, 52°, 58°. Irons: Cobra King ForgedTec Black PW-5i.

Rescue: Ping G - Regular Shaft (Should Probably Change to stiff). Woods: 5 Wood- Ping G Regular
Shaft (probably should change)

3 Wood - Ping G400 Stiff Shaft.

Driver: Ping G Regular Shaft.  CHANGING TO A COBRA KING F9 TOMORROW!!  Review coming soon after testing.

Spares: 4iron (I simply get better results out of my 4 rescue).  Gapwedge (I prefer my Ping Glide 2.0 50degree).

Welcome to the forums, and you nailed it! Posted in the right place, and most importantly, with pictures.

Nice setup in your bag. I always like asking questions about why certain choices were made. For yours, what stands out is the wedge gapping. Why 50°, 52°, and 58°?

I use the 50° as a replacement as a gap wedge.  In my old set of G400 irons, it didn't have one and I already loved the Ping Glide 2.0's.  I got the 50° on Christmas day not knowing my new set in March would come with one.  I found better consistency in the 50° than the gap wedge that came with my irons so I stuck with it in the bag.  The gap wedge that came with the set was also 50° so I just call the Ping my gap wedge.  I chose the 52° for around 105-yard shots and for more roll on chips.  I didn't want a 56° because I felt it would be too little of a gap and the 58° in my opinion, was the best option for me.  I don't think a 60° would go very well anyway because I already get a lot of height of my balls anyway. 

Hopefully, this answered your question.  Not sure if I made it too clear, but thanks for the guidance!
