So I finally traded my 5 wood after a year of just no good results and bad juju. A hybrid will be joining the bag, I just need to figure out which one. TE CBX 119 seems the leader in the clubhouse, but will consider other options right now.

I switched my TaylorMade RBZ 5 wood for a Ping G30 hybrid several years ago. I’m really happy with the change. The G30 is the oldest club in my bag and I honestly don’t have a compelling reason to change it.

I dumped my 19 degree Steelhead Hybrid for a higher lofted wedge.  I hadn't seen much of a distance gap between the Hybrid and the 17 degree fairway so I said goodbye.  I came across a second hand Ping 7 wood at a store in Dallas and decided to give it a try in place of my 22 degree hybrid.  So far it appears to be a keeper.  It is easier to hit and and I can control trajectory easier with it than the hybrid.  I've been going back and forth between my 20 year old Ping B60 and my sixties vintage Bullseye.  Might be time to look and more recent technology in the putter realm.

Callaway Driver, 4 and 7 fairways.  Mizuno 923 Hot Metal 6-LW.  A friend told me my swing is as smooth as Tennessee Whiskey.  If so, I often think it may have come out of the barrel to soon.

I've rotated out an ole Adams Idea 3 Hybrid for a TaylorMade Sim Made 3 Hybrid stiff gaining 15 - 20 yards more.  That resulted in a 15 - 20 yard gap between my 5 iron and the new hybrid. I've been working on hitting my 5 iron true to reduce that gap.

I added a Mavrik Pro AW to replace my 50* Vokey SM6. The AW matches my irons set so I get more consistency and a few more yards. Its been one of my best decisions this season, shot my 2 lowest rounds recently, dropped my handicap by about 4!

Since the start of the year I have changed my wedges from the Cobra Kings to Cleveland RTX zipcores. The Cobras were just not spinning the way I wanted and they were set 2* upright which is not good for me now.

A spur of the moment purchase was a Rife Barbados putter as a back up to the Rife two bar Hybrid. The Barbados is in the bag and rolling really well.

As some of you may know I am in the process of looking for new irons. I thought I had found them but thanks to supply chain issues and obviously the demand for them it looks like its not to be (unless I am willing to wait till next year for them). I need to go to stiff shafts again and standard lies thanks to successful hip replacement surgery. I have a fitting day booked for Titleist on the 25th and I'm quite keen on the T100s but we shall see.

My TS3 hybrids, 19 and 21 degree, have come out and been replaced by TaylorMade DHYs!  Other than that, same set up so far, although I continue to investigate re-shafting my irons.  Might postpone that to "offseason" though.

Swapped my TM M3 driver to a Titleist TSi3.  Still need to play around with the new weight in the back its set to neutral.  Switched to new GP MCC Midsize grips.  Put the heaviest SuperSpeed Golf red into my bag for warmups before the round.

Tried adding a less lofted TM FW wood, but gave up on it since it wasn't as consistent as my old Titleist FW.  Will try lowering the loft on the Titleist to get better launch angles.

Lastly, put in an 18" plastic ruler ($7 from Amazon) into my side pocket of my bag to check alignment on the practice green before my round.  Golf.com did an interview with Aaron Baddeley and he got this drill from Butch Harmon.  Using it for 10 ft straight putts with the ball starting in the middle on top of the ruler.  Its been working great for me.  Strokes gained in putting from strokes lost last year.

For style points got a new FW cover and a putter cover from Stitch.  Will have to do the WITB at some point.

Since 2017 I had a Titleist 718 Irons with Callaway Rouge SZ Driver and 3 woods with a Cameron Studio Design Laguna putter. During pandemic I sold all my stuff on ebay and recently acquired a PXG 0211 Irons 5-W, PXG 3 wood and a 19° Hybrid   Callaway MackDaddy Tactical wedges 50°, 56°,60°with Odyssey black #7  putter carried on a PXG fairway black camo stand bag.

What a cool thread to read through.  Good luck to you all on thew changes, I hope everything works out for everyone.  

Changes to my bag this year would be Dust. Haven’t been able to play since early March due to shoulder surgery. 

That said, changes coming will be a new 7 iron Callaway XHOT, 4 iron Callaway XHOT, 1 iron Titleist U15 due to an unfortunate bad fall and these 3 plus my driver shafts breaking. 

Once I get back I’ll have to asses if I want to spend the money on re-shafting the irons or bite the bullet on a complete new set later this summer or early fall and be ready to roll next season. 

Sub 70 949 D 9* HZRUDS 60G 6.5 smoke RDX shaft.

Sub 70 3 utility 19*

Callaway 56 and 58 wedge.

The only changes I made were the shafts in my Honma TR20 Tour P irons, going with Nippon Modus 130 stiff. I’m telling y’all right now, best move I’ve made in three years of changes. 
Coming soon are the wedges with the Vegas (that’s plural, not the city in Nevada) moving out, and the Edel SMS taking their spot. Build started yesterday….. Driver HEAD starts its battle this week!

Driver: Honma TR 460 8.5*, Aldila RIP Alpha 80 S, 45 1/4"; Ping G425 LST, Fujikura Speeder TR 661 S, 45 1/2"

hybrids: Cobra King Tec 17* and 21*, both with Graphite Design Tour AD-DI 105 X

Irons:  Srixon ZX5 4-6, ZX7 7-PW, UST Mamiya Recoil F4, +1”

Wedges: :edel-golf-1: SMS 50D/54V/58D:Nippon:Modus 130 stiff, +1”

Putter:  :edel-golf-1: EAS 1.0

All but putter have Lamkin ST+2 Hybrid Calibrate midsize built to oversize +1

Oofta this was a big year (and a half or so)for changes for me. Irons went from a box set to jpx 921 Forged, Driver went from Nike vaporfly (blue crown) to Sim2 max w/ rogue silver 60x. 
Also, recently picked up some close out Cleveland RTX-4 wedges in 54 and 58 last summer. As well as a new 3 wood last summer- Cobra F9 hzrds black 70x. 
So far loving all the changes. Got fit for the first time for the irons and driver, and it makes such a huge difference!

Oh! Also forgot the newest addition.. the bag itself. Just picked up a Hoofer CL, as I’m going to start walking courses a little more and plan on carrying for the time being!
