Most Personal Club in Your Bag

[c0ldspark]

How are we defining "Generic, Off-the-rack clubs"? Is it what you would grab off the wall at a big box store from one of the major brands, or are we talking a box set?

Either way, my putter's the choice, I'm just wondering if I'd be getting a club upgrade for the rest of my bag out of the deal.

Everything in my bag, including the bag, is off the rack, and I mean off the budget bin rack!  So I'd really be thrilled with any replacements.

This is close between my M6 driver and 58* Vokey with 4* of bounce. I'm so dialed in with my driver that giving me a club off the shelf would be a disaster off the tee. As for the 58*, I'm just money with it. I can hit any shot needed under 75 yards and really do well. I rarely blade it and it is my go to club unless I really need something esle (62* flop or 52* punch and run).

Driver. No hesitation. For some reason, I am really sensitive to changes in the driver. When friends get new clubs, I have no problems hitting a few shots on the range and striping some iron shots. I routinely switch around putters for fun. I have a favorite but have no statistical data that says I putt any better with it. I've got 2 different 60 degree lob wedges I use. One is 6 bounce and the other is 12 and I'm not sure which one I like better. I've got 2 different gap wedges I'll switch out because I am not sure if I like the set wedge or not. And I have another wedge set where sometimes I play 56/60 and other times 54/58 just to test things out. I don't think it really matters.

But driver. Give me your new shiny club and I will top it, hit wild hooks, low cuts, high slice and pretty much hit every spot on the face except the middle. Give me a driver that I've never hit before on a tee box with pressure and I will consider just hitting the face and advancing the ball more than 150 yards an accomplishment.

my old Odyssey Dual Force 992 putter. It was my first real putter purchase. Bought it new in like 95 or 96 and has been in and out of my bag ever since.

I was going to pick my "old trusty" 3w, just never leaves my bag - never been able to find something to kick it out. It defends itself with a tenacious passion so given that I'm going to say "Wedges" - my Glide 3.0 54* is just such a goto club. It gets me out of trouble and is great for attacking the green with a variety of shots; full, partial, low punch, flops and gives me all the confidence I need in the sand. In all honesty close call between the 54* and 58*.

I tried a few other brands when looking to replace my Vokeys and the Glide 3.0 just kicked ass over the RTX4 and the MD4; both great wedges to be true, but the Ping inspired confidence.

The Pings are going nowhere without a fight.

Wedges, specifically my 47° Cleveland. Inside 120, my confidence in hitting the green expands exponentially. Everything leading up to this is advancement of the ball towards the hole. Driver and woods aren't that vital to my game mentality. Would be hard to part with my Titleist C16 irons, but not my wedges

Definitely, l'd keep the mid/short irons; the others I can eliminate or work-arohnd

My 3 wood. My G410LST 3W has shown me why so many PGA Tour players rarely change their 3W. 
 

Once you find the one you can trust off the tee and the deck you should never let it go.  I have that in the G410LST. Confidence every time I look down at it 

The 3W is the club I’m most worried about going into CC5

I have to agree, my F9 with a Mitsubishi Tensei CK Blue regular flex seems to be the perfect balance for me. Never was any good at hitting a 3 wood off the deck, until now.
