High School Varsity Competitive Golfer WITB


Recommended Posts

Hey y’all! My name is Zac Aghdaei, but my friends either just call my Zac or ZAghdaei (pronounced Zag-Die), which is nickname a friend came up with for me a few months ago. I play for a Varsity High School team in the Pacific Northwest, and here’s my WITB:


Driver: TM SIM Max 10.5* w/ UST Mamiya Proforce V2 66 S Flex

3 Wood: Callaway Mavrik Max w/ Project X Evenflow Riptide 60 S Flex 

3 and 4 Hybrid: Ping G410 w/ Alta CB 60 S Flex

5-PW: PXG 0311 Gen 1 Irons w/ KBS C-Taper Lite 110 S Flex (these I purchased on sale when the Gen 2s came out, and they had a deal going online. I ended up buying a 5-PW + GW +SW + LW with custom shafts for under $1600. Which is still expensive. But when you consider the PXG price point the fact that I got custom shafts and got the wedges too, I actually did OK price wise)

50* (GW), 56* (SW), 60* (LW): PXG 0311 Forged Wedges w/ KBS 110 C-Taper Lite Wedge Flex

Putter: Scotty Newport Square-back 1.5

Grips: GolfPride Tour Velvet Full Cord 60, Logo Down with 1 wrap

Glove: Kirkland Full Leather (because I go through gloves like crazy)

Ball: Kirkland 4-Piece (For the same reason 🙂 )

Rangefinder: Caddy Tech 2.0 w/ Slope

Shoes: FootJoy Limited Edition 2018 Ryder Cup Dryjoys Tour Team USA Color, OR Nike TW 71 All Blacks. I usually wear the FJ on flatter courses in the winter/if the course is really wet, and wear the Nike’s all other time.

Bag: Ping Hoofer Monsoon during the rainy Pacific Northwest end of fall/winter/early spring, AND Ping Hoofer Multicam during the mid-late spring/summer/early-mid fall. I also have a Jones original carry bag, which I really only use on weekend if I’m going out with friends and we’re just playing for fun rather than competitively.

Hat: I collect Golf hats everywhere I go and almost always wear a hat on the course.

Head covers: For my hybrids and 3 wood I use the stock head covers, but for my driver I use a special one, it’s a bull from Daphne’s head covers, which symbolizes strength and reminds me to be mentally tough and focused through a competitive round. 
 

Final notes: I have a friend whose trying to buy my SIM Max off of me, which is good as I don’t love it anyway. Any suggestions for a new driver? I’m thinking Callaway Mavrik Max to match the three wood or a Ping G410 SFT? Low spin and distance is not as important to me as forgiveness and fairway finding. My iron game is good enough where I’m comfortable getting to the green as long as I put my drive somewhere in the fairway on a relatively ‘normal’ Par 4. Let me know!

I’ve liked a more “solid” feel to my woods rather than a “hollow” feel. I know some players think more hollow feels hotter and the sound it makes is more sexy.

Another thing I’ve always emphasized is consistency which I can’t stress enough. I see you have all the same irons heads and shafts in your irons, so why not do the same for your woods? 

You should have your driver shaft be the lightest shaft in your bag (for speed) so for you i’d recommend a 55g Evenflow for the quickest fix. 

BUT, your hybrids and 3 wood are pretty out of wack. They are sooooo light compared to your irons. With your 110g iron shafts you’d typically want an 80-90gm shaft in your hybrid and a 70-80 g in your 3wood and a 60-70 g shaft in your driver. 

For example my specs are as follows:

TM M5 Driver 9*: Aldila RIP Phenom NL (70TX) 75g*

TM M5 3 wood 15*: Aldila RIP Phenom NL (80TX) 86g*

Adams Pro mini Hybrid 18*: KBS Tour Prototype Hybrid 95X 

TM 2019 P790 4iron: KBS Tour C-Taper 130x

TM 2013 Tour Preferred 5-9iron: KBS Tour C-Taper 130X

Titleist Vokey SM 7 46* (bent to 45*) KBS Tour C-Taper 130X ( 1 soft step) 

Titleist Vokey SM 7 50* KBS Tour C-Taper 130X (1 soft step) 

Titleist Vokey SM 7 56* (bent to 55*) KBS Tour C-Taper 130X (2soft steps) 

Titleist Vokey SM 7 60* KBS Tour C-Taper 130X (2 soft steps) 

I’ve (obviously 🤪) spent too much time with this, so please lmk any questions you have
