Shankster’s Build a Bag


Recommended Posts

Well, with the green light from the wife to get an entire new set… my mind has been wandering.  The fact that I’ll be on the pacific coast, and likely playing in some wind, and on some links style courses I have a few ideas rolling through my head.  It is quite possible that it will end up being totally different… and I will be working on lowering my ball flight along the way, and some more pitch and run style shots… which I’m terrible at.

What do you think of Option 1 and 2…? yeah the 3 wood is missing, I hate them, the 14° hybrid should be more than enough. yes I’ll be getting fit for this set.

I'd go bag 2 but, maybe, a blended 223/225 iron set? Well, that was if the 225 were available in LH 🙄

I’d go bag 1, but that is because bag 2 has Mizuno clubs and I don’t hit them wEll.

They both look good, I really like #2, but take it a step further and hit as many different clubs as possible. Something out there may not be on your list but may just be exactly what you are looking for.

Bag 2, but with 225s instead of JPXF and hot metal pro

I came here to say the same thing.  

I've seen your swing over the years on video and I think it's fair to say you'd agree with the 225's.

  • TaylorMade SIM2 3 wood Fujilkura Ventus Blue 7-X
  • Titleist U505 2 Tensei 1K Black 85 X

I wish I could find my swing from the i200 review.  I lost it, it was the best swing I’ve had… it’s in there somewhere, just have to find it.  Currently getting nice push I can’t get to turn over… the season is young.

I will… but I can’t do Callaway…. I don’t know what it is, but I just can’t.  Or PXG… 

so that leaves, TM, PING, Cobra, Titleist and Mizuno…

I understand and have a couple of brands that don't fit my eye. Hopefully you find a set that takes your game to the next level.

Good Luck

Pretty simple, get fit and get what works best with your swing.  Not so simple part, don’t try to make dramatic swing changes once you  get your new set.

True, I should have specified… hopefully through equipment changes to lower flight, (shaft, iron type, etc.) Not super swing change unless I still hit moon balls.  Playing more knock down type shots.

Worth a shot!  They've got an option for everything you're looking for in the iron space and could save a little coin as well.

Is that the same as the Sun Mountain leather stand bag? Wonder what kind of price they have? I will say it is a good looking bag and IMHO will only look better as it ages

Not sure, they do look very similar.  Either way, it beats neon green with lots of unpaid advertising that a lot of bags come with.

That bag is gorgeous! It's a different color than I would have thought I would like, but I could see carrying it. The price is less than I would have expected after looking at the Wilson site.

Srixon, Tour Edge, Sub 70, Wilson, Hogan... why limit yourself?  Granted, the latter may not be available at fitters, but one could be the magic sauce.  You should definitely try the ZX series.  Also, I know you've been dealing with a few chronic injuries and this might be a good opportunity to see if a composite shaft works. As advertised, mine have effectively eliminated my elbow and shoulder pain.
