At this point.... I think it's either the driver in my sig or going back to my old Spider Slant S putter. Probably the putter...

FWIW, I've basically replaced everything in my bag in the last 6 months except my SM6 gap wedge... lol

Upgraded a 15 year old sonartec 19* hybrid that I thought was irreplaceable for a callaway apex hybrid 18*. Wow. I also just replaced some 11 year old callaway 2007 x forged irons for the new Mizuno MP18 SC set 4-PW and they are amazing. Since I didn’t get a three iron with the new set I was able to get a Callaway X forged UT 21* and so far I absolutely love it. Won a new 2018 Scotty Newport Select and still learning to use as my previous putter was a mallet Tank 7 but it’s really nice on long putts.

 

So, everything but my driver and wedges changed. It’s been a fun year!!

The only equipment related change I have made this year was to stop buying stuff. I emptied out the garage and narrowed it down to 14 clubs, 9 of which I actually carry.

 

I have really started to realize that the majority of the stuff out there is the same for me.. Its like a chef buying knew knives every two months. The food is coming out exactly the same so why bother. After a decade of club hoeing, the thrill is gone. I'm kind of bored with the game in general.

Replaced my odyssey 1w with Evnroll ER6. It took 4-5 rounds to get used to the speed but it was worth it. It's such a forgiving putter , the mishits on longer putts are closer to the hole. The visual alignment makes the 5 footers very easy to make. According to strokes gained my putting is at the same level as a 4 handicap now, while I am a 13 handicap. Need to get my long game in order to shave some strokes off.

Replaced a G15 3wood with a new TM M3.

 

What a mistake it was waiting as long as I did. The M3 is quite literally 40 yards longer.

My irons. Went with lighter softer shafts and smaller heads and now I'm hitting my irons better than I ever have. Putter too. I've got SO much confidence with this stick now.

Ditching my hybrid for a 5 wood. So much easier to hit it's like cheating. Not sure if it's because Ping or V2 shaft, which I always ignored. Actually, that was the first time I tried a Ping wood. Now I'm switching everything, including a brand new set of I500 after years playing Mizuno blades and driver. I'm in the lookout for a 3 wood on BST.

Tossing out the 15* 3-wood that previously had a permanent spot in my bag, It has been very lightly used, seeing as on some courses it would rarely come into play wither from the tee deck or on the ground.

 

It's allowed me to fill in with a 3-club 5W/2h/3h/4h/4i combination that suits my gapping a bit better on the courses I play most often. I haven't totally gotten rid of the 15* 3W option though, I've merely stopped giving it a guaranteed place in the bag, relegating it to an optional status along with my strong 3W and the other clubs mentioned previously.

Upgraded the G30 for a G400, gained more distance & breaking 80 more often.

 

My G30 with white tie firm flex shaft was replaced by G400 max with red tie stiff shaft.

 

My last two handicap index revisions are the only ones in my lifetime to have just one digit.

 

It may not last, and it took 32 years of play to happen, but it makes the thought of retirement golf even more appealing.
