You missed the Futura 7 X7M that lasted two full years.  I still think that might be the best putter I've had.  It's close with that and the PING Tyne 4.   

Interesting question on the best of WITB.  I'll have to give that some thought and post it.  Of course it will be just the listed version as many of the actual clubs have moved on

The Vapor is funny.  I had just started my job here at the Golf Course and the Nike rep at the time (he's now the TaylorMade rep) was one of the first ones I met and was showing us the new lineup.  He showed me the price we get for personal use, and I said sign me up

It wasn't the best driver I've ever had, but it got some good comments on the color

 

 

I did indeed! Two years has got to be a record.  Interesting way into the Vapor though.  Great sounding driver and good for an occasional bomb, but definitely not the most forgiving of clubs.  You're spot on about the comments.  That thing is an attention magnet.

I agree completely, I keep waiting for someone on tour to put in a T300 4 iron or something for a long iron, but in reality they'd probably go with a T200 or U505, but I'm sure one of those guys could hit a T300 4 iron probably 270 and as high as Spieths shot went on 17 from that side hill lie

 

I can’t remember off the top of my head who the PGA tour player is, but I know there is one for sure that is using game improvement irons right nowI can’t remember off the top of my head who the PGA tour player is, but I know there is one for sure that is using game improvement irons right now

@Golfspy_CG2 - doesn't look like you have been by the bug of exotic putter shafts yet, have you?

But after a lot of trial and and actually not much error I have arrived at the setup that will take me through the rest of the year. 

If you lived in NH this might be believable

do you count Stroke Lab as an exotic shaft?    I have that in my odyssey OG 7w Otherwise, No not at all.  I’m not really into exotic shafts in any clubs.  Two reasons.  I don’t have the swing speed to make a difference.   Well my putter swing speed is pretty close to tour level speed I think

2nd reason, after speaking to several OEM R&D people, I feel the stock shafts of today are so much better than they were even 3-5 years ago.  So the average golfer—not your forum addicts—-aren’t going to see a huge difference for the price.   I consider myself the Average Golfer—-oh wait that name has been taken, hasn’t it

I knew I really liked Higgs for a reason! 

You know how things go on trends.  It would be crazy but I’ll say not impossible, that if GI irons keep improving their looks like the T300, G425, P79O, RadSpeed and ZX5 to name a few.  You might start seeing more of them pop up on tour in the next 5 years or so. 
 

I’m fully on board with these T300 GI irons.

That good that you don't have an exotic shaft addition, its a tough one. I have a fine taste for high-end putter shafts lol.

I need to get in line for someones cast offs.  Hint hint!  Love the Titleist stuff. Have last years T200 irons, good stuff.

But I'll have fedex truck outside your door when you get tired of them.

Another great showing of them today.  Don’t think they are going anywhere

Great looking bag and awesome thread. Love seeing the evolution of the bag. Mine has transformed quite a bit over the year too. My buddies always ask how long are these irons going to last haha 

[Thin2win]

Going on just over 2 months, is the bag still as pictured? 

Any bets before cg2 responds?
