JTHF's bag for 2020-21– I went on a craigslist binge...

[James the Hogan Fan]

This is my setup for the start of the season. I have some other things that can rotate in and out, but my if you told me I'd be playing a round in 20 minutes, this is what I'd be throwing in the trunk:

Wilson D300 with Prolaunch Axis Red X-flex

Wilson Fybrid I 15° and 18° with Proforce V2 R flex

Tour Edge Exotics 19° XCG5 hybrid

Hogan Apex 2003 4-E, Apex 4

Mizuno MP-t5 56°

Maxfli Revolution 60°

And the MacGregor autograph putter on the left is the gamer, but the nondescript anser clone on the right is a new challenger to its spot.

Welcome aboard!

 

I now have the set 2-E, which I play 4-E except at one of the linksy courses in the area where I can take the roll.

Excited about this new DIY-DI. I got this 22° 4 iron head from a friend who works on a range and saves the stuff people break and don't want. Shafted with an FST 125 x-flex soft-stepped and at 3 iron length. Rocket ship iron, get 220 carry out of it no problems. Saved me 3-4 shots in the club championship

I was honestly pretty happy with my Hogan Irons, but now I have benched them after a craigslist find:

 

 

$200 later... Say hello to an FG62/FG Tour V2 Combo set with Project X 6.5s and an FG Tour F5 4 hybrid to cover me from 4-P. The Hogan E wedge now plays the part of Gap wedge, and the FG Tour knocks its older cousin Fybrid hybrids from the bag. Last few rounds have had some of my better iron play for awhile.

I absolutely love the fact you built a club that you hit well and have confidence to play from a head no one wanted. That is right up my alley

Final round of the club championship, I'm playing for pride anyway. 17th hole 440 yard par 4, I heel a 200 yard worm burner into a ditch and take a drop. I'm in light rough, 225 to the center, flag is back left. Figure what the h*, pull that iron and connect. 

 

We find the ball over the back lf the green on the collar about 15 feet from the flag, estimated total distance 240. Putt from the fringe went to 2 inches, tapped in for a bogey 5 that felt as good as birdie.

 

Not bad for a club that cost me a $10 shaft and a $5 grip...

One issue with being left is rarely finding stuff on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace. Ebay has been pretty good to me, though. As long as it isn't 1 or more other folks wanting it anyway.

While that may be true, I have noticed that the clearance racks at my local shops are always stocked full of lefty at big discounts so long as you are willing to go back 2-3-4-5 cycles. 

And I hear you on Ebay, I am always sifting through LH clubs to get to the stuff I want, especially for woods.
