So...this is my bag. How awful is it and what can I do to improve it?

[billy batts]

i already got tons of help re: wedges and just ordered a new-to-me 54* and 58* Cleveland RTX 2.0 - the 54* to replace that R7 SW in my bag.

 

i am thinking up next might be looking into a slightly new driver. no idea how old that Burner might be, but i have never been a huge fan.

 

the irons, i have to say, seem decent for me. though i am not sold i am truly a blue dot - maybe closer to black in reality.

 

anyway, thoughts?

Absolutely nothing wrong with that bag now that you have your wedges sorted out. I also wouldn't fret too much about the lie being a degree or less from what you believe to be optimal. Golf is not played on flat ground out on the course.

[daegyu]

Seems like you're missing a few clubs in there lol. The clubs in there seem fine. I'd pick up a fewer more wedges if I were you though. Can't fake the funk with the scoring clubs.

[HiSpeed48]

That's a great collection of clubs right there. Can't go wrong with a Burner or a 2-ball.

[ikarcuaso]

Once the wedges arrive, you s/b set. I've been playing w/13 clubs for years.

 

I also had G15 irons for a few years. Great irons, loved them. I thought I'd play them forever. But then I started l lurking here again.

Nice bag! The new Clevelands will set it off nicely. The only 'problem' I can see with the set up (as in it would be for me but may not be for you) is the lack of a G15 PW. This leaves a 10 degree gap between your 9 and your 50. I would be wanting a 45 degree club of some sort to split the difference.

 

Your driver is fine, but if you are not comfortable with it you might be better off changing it. I have always found Ping drivers to be out in front in terms of quality and forgiveness. I use the G15, but I think any of the G series drivers would serve you well.

 

Enjoy putting your bag together! It's a fun journey.

Completely agree with MM, you need something between your 9 iron and 50 that's too big a gap.

 

The lie angle of pings can be adjusted so get them checked. Look at your divots, are they deeper or longer at any point. The rest of your bag looks solid.

sorry guys the G15 PW is hiding underneath the other clubs somewhere! i have it :)

[morrisminor]

Well in that case you're sorted! :)

[nochct1]

You have a very good bag. No need to change anything.

I like the XCG7 fairway. If you want a different driver, might as well get one, but you don't actually need any replacements if they are a decent fit.

i wish i could say the same. i legitimately cannot hit it. (obviously 100% my fault and not the club)

[sheppy335]

if it works for you then don't change unless you want to change.

[JAMH03]

OP clearly you have wonderful tastes.

 

The Driver doesn't have much swag right now but aside from that.

 

That kit you have is good enough to shoot even par on any tour.

 

So it's presumably good enough to beat all of your friends. Regrip take a lesson or 2 and have at it.

 

 

 

 

[Joelsim]

I wouldn’t worry about whether the clubs fit you. Keegan Bradley seems to do ok with the clubs he got for his 9th birthday.

 

 

[DFinch]

That's a solid bag, including the driver. That said, driver would be next if that was my setup (well, maybe the putter since I'm not a fan of that extremely popular 2-ball).

 

[ian-500]

Awful set/bag. You need to spend at least $3000 immediately to upgrade.

[Davidv]

I would definitely ditch the driver for a M5 or M6.

I was thinking he could sell a little plasma, throw a few HJ's out there, and drop that on a major OEM matching bag, shoes, hat, whatnot..

[kiwihacker]

I wouldn't bat an eyelid if you turned up at my club with that bag of clubs. Very common setup. Not all golfers are WRXers who upgrade to the latest and greatest every season. ?

[azgreg]

Nothing wrong with that bag.

So, no one's noticed that this thread is from 2 years ago? If this guy stuck around here, he's probably been through dozens of clubs since this post.

You sir are most certainly correct.

Oh Billy. A bladed gap wedge to a cavity sand wedge?

...I think we're done here.

Kidding of course! The arrow does not fly withou the archer Sir.

[handyquacks17]

i like the setup. maybe add one more utility club like a cheap 3 iron or hybrid just for versatility. I like options when i am hitting 200 yard plus shots. Keep that tmade burner d stick in there that thing is a monster
