JoeCool Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Oh yesss! That’s a loaded question you ask! Hope you some loose time. Huge investment for me this year. All my equipment is over 20 years old because I’ve recently started playing again after quitting in 2006 for health reasons. I’ve spent the winter in sunny Mexico and a great deal of leisure time exploring the web for answers. I’ve somewhat started ordering already. As a matter of fact, I’m getting back home tonight (I’m currently in transit at the airport) and Miura PI-401 irons (6-PW) are waiting for me at home. Can’t wait to see them! Other items ordered and already at home are gloves (Red Rooster), balls (Callaway SuperSoft), a famous 69 degree wedge (just for the kicks of trying it!). You may be wondering why I order everything online. Absolutely no selections at home (Gaspé Peninsula in Eastern Canada) ! Next step is trying to get a fitting (10 hour drive from home!) for driver, hybrids, wedges and putter. The latter could be a LAB after trying the different models. As for the wedges, I plan to order a set of 3 Edison wedges after I find out the lie angle that I need. I also have to decide on the best cart bag (I have already selected a few options). I have even ordered polo shirts from RADMOR in Seattle, their are on their way. So as you can see, I will probably have to mortgage the house but you know, what the heck, we only live once right? tdroma98 and Dal 1 1 Quote Cobra woods - Callaway irons - Odyssey putter all soon to be replaced.

in3948 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Well. I need updates on all my golf equipment and clothing. I wonder how much equipment would improve my swing provided getting older and my equipment is from a decade ago. So I need to find a patient fitter than I can spend a couple hours and see if there is enough change to justify the cost. Other than equipment, I could use lighter golf shoes. Feet get tired in these skecher golf shoes. Ideas? tdroma98 1 Quote Cobra AMP 8.5* driver (sometimes swap for Cobra Speedzone driver) Cobra Speedzone 3 WD, 19* hybrid Driving iron 18* Mizuno JPX 900 Forged 4 - PW Cleveland 588 gap wedge 52* Scotty Cameron futura putter (sometimes Ping Zing anniversary edition, or TP mills blade) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badams69 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) Plan is to buy a couple more sets of JDM irons. At least enough until I find one that fits me well. So far this past month I have picked up TourStage TS-202 and Yamaha Inpres XV sets. Each under $120 Next up is finding a set of cb Miura irons new enough to be playable but old enough to make the outlay no big deal. Then adding a bench grinder to start working on the skill or hobby of reconditioning clubs.

bobsarobot Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Just order the new Cleveland Hy-Wood 3+. Plan is to use it off the tee for some holes and as a replacement for my 3/4 wood Cobra. Great deal from Cleveland and Second Swing, they will give you 50% more on trade-in clubs if you buy a Cleveland hybrid or hy-wood. I had plenty of clubs I was no longer using and got almost $200 off the total price. tdroma98 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArizonaLogan Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I need to add an 18-19 degree club, and my Adams 3 wood has a slight draw bias that I believe causes slightly "hooky" shots. So, I'm planning on eventually ending up with full PXG woods (driver, 3 wood, 5 wood/3 hybrid). I'm not planning to, but I anticipate having to replace my golf shoes and golf bag if they continue wearing at their current rates. tdroma98 1 Quote : 0311 Gen5 - Driver : Tight Lies - 3W I need an 18°-19° club. : TS4 - 4-PW : TSW - 50°, 54°,58° : Toulon Design Austin - Putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Safe Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 First is a new iron set. Had a quick fitting last fall that said paradym x. It was only a callaway fitting. I'm thinking about the ai smoke hl but haven't swung them. There's no multi brand stores up here, I'd have to book a fitting with multiple courses to get a variety. I'm planning on walking more this season so a good pair of shoes is on my mind. A push cart for sure. My Mother in-law says she's getting me one from her friend. Not sure what it is yet. I've been eyeing the quad xl cart tho. Since I plan on walking more. I'm thinking an upgrade to the bag would be nice. Something with better pockets for rain gear and such. After the irons, and my wallet recovers, I'll look into some wedges. We're expecting our second child right as the season starts here in the next few weeks, so no idea when this will all happen but I can dream. tdroma98 1 Quote Driver: Paradym X 3-wood: Rouge st Max D Hybrid: Callaway super hybrid 17* Irons: 4-SW Adams RPM Wedge: Calaway A (from the 90s) Putter: Odyssey White Hot 330 Mallet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the lightness and compactness of my Nitron though. Yeah. Balancing the want vs need of making that investment. Trying to sell some things I’ve got lying around to make up for it. Also trying to find a good deal on FB to also try out if it makes THAT much of a difference without dropping serious coin. tdroma98 and Hobert 2 Quote Driver: TSi2 9.0* w/ Tensei blue stiff shaft // 3 Wood: TSi3 15* Tensei white stiff shaft Hybrid: GAPR Hi 3h Irons: T300 4-PW + 48* & 53*w/ KBS tour stiff Wedge: CBX2 58*10 Putter: KS1 Ball: Srixon Z-star // Bag: DLX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty110golf Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Over the winter I bought a Alphard motorized wheel set and their cart with the brackets attached - a Black Friday special. My swing speed has moved into the senior category so looking to replace my Wilson D7 irons with something with more friendly shafts. Fitting scheduled for next week...will then work the top and the bottom of the bag to complement the irons. tdroma98 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OgDan Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 100% is a driver, then irons. After 20 years out of golf an starting again the beginning of last year, I bought some second hand Callaway XR pro irons an woods. Nice clubs but they're not for me! I've upgraded the wedges to Vokey sm9s, the driver shaft to X stiff and my 3 wood is now a Tsr2. tdroma98 1 Quote Callaway, vokey, Scotty Cameron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 3-wheel cart is still mostly functional, the issue I have is the velcro doesn't hold the bag in place anymore like it used to. Was hoping newer models with different style straps would be better... outside of the sagging wheels do you prefer the 4-wheeler over your previous 3 wheeler? tdroma98 1 Quote Driver: Titleist TSR3 9* | H2 track setting | C4 hosel setting | Fujikura Ventus TR Black 6X 3 wood: Titleist TSi3 15* | T track setting | B4 hosel setting | Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 7X 5 wood: Titleist TSR2 18* | C4 hosel setting | Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 8S Hybrid: Titleist TSR2 21* | B1 hosel setting | Fujikura Ventus HB Blue 9X Irons: Titleist T100 Black | 5-P | True Temper AMT Tour White X100 Wedges: Vokey SM9 Jet Black | 50.08F, 54.12D, 58.08M | True Temper AMT Tour White S300 Putter: Scotty Cameron Champions Choice Button Back Newport 2.5+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
