conorgolf22's WITB

[conorgolf22]

I have wanted to do this for a while but never have.

 

I am Conor, 21 years old and I am in my senior year at Lindenwood University in Belleville, Illinois.

 

 

 

Driver: Cobra AMP 10.5* with Graphite Design Tour AD-DI 6 stiff shaft. I got this driver in May and love it. Perfect set-up for me

 

3-Wood: Old Faithful Taylormade V-Steel 15* with a UST Proforce stiff shaft. I have had this club for 7 years now and can't get rid of it

 

2-Iron is a Callaway X-20 Tour with a Project X 6.0 Flighted shaft. It gets very dry in the Midwest in the summer so this will run forever

 

Irons: Titleist 712 CB 4-PW with Graphite Design Tour AD irons shafts in stiff. I just got these a couple weeks ago and really like them. I am a low ball hitter and these shafts are fantastic

 

Wedges: Vokey SM4 in 54*, 58* and 64* with Project X 5.5 shafts My lob wedge ie stamped "OJ" for my girlfriend, my sand wedge is stamped "MK" in memory of my dad and my gap wedge is stamped with my initials "CJK"

 

Putter: Odyssey Metal X #7 33". Putting is my weakness and I have used a belly putter for the last year and a half and have just switched back to the conventional length

[conorgolf22]

After a frustrating day on the greens I went back to the belly putter, which is a Ping Pickemup 41"

Nice setup, nice to see an old faithful in the bag. There seems to be alot of love for the V-steel on these forums.

have noticed that myself, what is it about them...they have me intrigued.

[KyleGD]

Great set up! Super solid.

[DaniTheBearGough]

Love the all over stamping on that 64*!

[mackepa]

Those wedges are pretty awesome.

[mikey96]

That driver grip-shaft-head setup looks so cool.

[xracer4844]

that driver is a great combo - i tested it myself!

[mhammel73]

I've got the same bag for my high school. (different stitching thouhg)

[Low3]

Good set up Conor and i also had that bag last season for college

[emttim1885]

Nice v steel bro

[conorgolf22]

It's been nearly a year, which means a lot of updates in my bag.

First is my Taylormade RBZ driver. I picked this up on ebay for cheap as an experiment and it ended up staying. The high loft has helped my game greatly and this is a great stick.

Next is my Titleist 913 FD 3-wood. This beauty has a UST VTS shaft in it and it a beautiful club.

I finally gave in, put the long irons away and put this Titleist 909 hybrid it. It looks nice and is easy to hit. It came with an Aldila Voodoo NV shaft
[attachment=2004819:hybrid 1.JPG][attachment=2004821:hybrid 3.JPG][attachment=2004823:hybrid 4.JPG]

I still have the same Titleist 712 CB irons and they are great

I switched my wedges around a little bit and replaced my 54* and 58* with my old 52* and 56* but the lob wedge is still the same 64* vokey

I still have my Odyssey Metal-X #7. I have switched to the claw putting grip and it has really helped my game

[Tommyj57]

loving that bag and those headcovers especially. Great setup!! Thinking of getting some 712/714CBs for my short irons this year.

[llamont]

How's your trajectory with the 712 CB/Tour AD 65i combo? In regards to your HL driver, I had really good results after going from a 9* (that I hit well) to a 12* (that I hit even better). Great bag and way to pay homage to your father.

[conorgolf22]

The iron/shaft combo is perfect for me. I am a low ball hitter and these shafts give me a "normal" trajectory

[conorgolf22]

It has come to that time of year to update my WITB. There has been quite a few changes since last year.

I was fitted for a new driver in October and it has improved my driving accuracy big time. I got the Callaway Big Bertha V series. 13.5 degrees of loft and a Fujikura Speeder 661 shaft. This is as awesome combo for me.
[attachment=2566467:driver 1.JPG][attachment=2566469:driver 2.JPG][attachment=2566471:driver 3.JPG]

I have just got the new Titleist 915f within the last month, so I have not got to hit it very much but it is solid. 16.5 with the Aldila Rogue White
[attachment=2566477:fairway 1.JPG][attachment=2566479:fairway 2.JPG][attachment=2566485:fairway 3.JPG]

I still have the same trusty Titleist 909h in the bag. I may try out the new 915 once spring hits.
[attachment=2566489:hybrid 1.JPG][attachment=2566491:hybrid 2.JPG][attachment=2566495:hybrid 3.JPG]

The Titleist 712 CBs are still in the bag. 4-P with the Tour AD65i shafts
[attachment=2566497:iron 2.JPG][attachment=2566499:iron 1.JPG][attachment=2566501:wedge 2.JPG]

I have updated my wedges. I still have the 52,56,64 set up but have gone to the SM5 wedges in the 52 and 56 and have converted to the Tour AD65i shafts in my wedges aswell. It has taken some time to adjust to the different weight, but I really like the feel.

I have an Odyssey White Hot Pro #7 putter in the bag with the Superstroke Flatso Ultra grip. This is the best putter grip I have ever had and really promotes a straight-back straight-through stroke. I've got an awesome custom cover from Delila

[mackepa]

I'm digging the wedges. I really like the feel of graphite in irons and wedges but the dispersion isn't there for me.

I love the feel. It would be really difficult for me to switch back

[Joe85]

Nice sticks

[conorgolf22]

Time to update after a long time off.

 

 

I just got the G400 MAX. Drank the koolaid everyone was dishing out on here. I haven't even hit it yet. Might switch the Alta CB out for the NV 2KXV Orange, which is what I had in my old driver.

 

 

I got the G400 5 wood, I play it as a 4 wood, last year and I really like it. Shallow face and a good ball flight

 

 

I got this hybrid right when it came out. I switched from the 909h and it wasn't much of an adjustment. I made my only hole in one with this club.

 

 

The Callaway was a lucky ebay find and is a great club. I got the i200s when they went on closeout and I really like them.

 

 

I have always been a Vokey guy and I am a sucker for the Wedgeworks. MK is in memory of my dad, Ryann is my daughter's name and OJ is for my wife, whose maiden name was Orange.

 

 

The putter is special. I am a big Dufner fan and when I saw him with a blacked out X7M a few years ago, I had to have one. TorreyRat did the work on it and it's great. I am a claw guy, so that is why the FlatCat is on sideways.

 

 

Finally, here is my ball marker and ball mark repair tool

 

[gentles]

Cool to read through from the start - especially the evolution of girlfriend to wife and now dad! Also looks like you finished college and got a decent job with the upgrade in gear! Any plans to try a ping crossover to match your i200s?

Thank you very much. I have thought about it and almost pulled the trigger on one.....but I’m a pretty big fan of the Apex

[conorgolf22]

My experiment with the G400 Max did not last long. I went back to my old RBZ. It’s a HL model with a Black Tie shaft. Strange combo, I know but it works for me......some of the time

[conorgolf22]

Updated pics coming soon.

 

Additions:

 

Callaway Rogue 13.5* Aldila Rogue Elite Blue

 

PXG 0311X 4 iron Aerotech Steelfiber i95

 

Mizuno 919 Forged 5-PW Aerotech Steelfiber i95

 

New Level M-Type 60* bent to 62* Nippon Modus 115

[conorgolf22]

The PXG is still en route, but here are the other additions.

 

Callaway Rogue. Got fitted for this at Club Champion and have had good results with it.

 

 

 

I also got fit for these at Club Champion. I was one of the lucky winners of the GolfWRX giveaway. The weather hasn't been great here, so I have yet to hit them, but this week looks promising.

 

 

 

New Level Wedge. I got this on a bit of a whim. Eric was awesome to deal with. Great looking wedge and I am looking forward to getting it out on the course

 

 

[conorgolf22]

I was finally able to get out on the course after over a month off. I was able to break out the new irons and lob wedge. I played well. Scrambling round. Short game saved me. The irons are solid. Great trajectory and hold their line very well. The lob wedge also performed well. Like a dream out of the bunkers. Almost holed out from 75 yards with it Hopefully the next round will come a little quicker, but it is winter in the Midwest

[conorgolf22]

There have been a few changes to the bag. I liked the New Level Lob Wedge so much that I added a sand wedge. I have been a Vokey guy forever, but I really like to look and feel of these. I also swapped driving irons. I got the PXG Gen 1 0311X 4 iron with the Steelfiber i95.

 

The next move will probably be a New Level gap wedge to complete the wedge set. I am also planning on doing a bit of ball testing if/when the midwest weather decides to cooperate.

[Zach Heusser]

Do you like steel fiber ?

[conorgolf22]

Do you like steel fiber ?

 

I do. I really prefer the feel of graphite (I like a lighter club), but I have gone back and forth. I feel like the Steelfiber is the perfect mix. I had the i110s in a set before this, but I like the i90s better(again, lighter feel). I haven't really tried any of the "competitors" though. I had a Recoil in a TMB 4-iron that was in my bag for about 3 weeks, but that was it.
