What has made it into your bag so far in 2019?

[phil6380]

Mizuno JPX919 Forged with UST Recoil shafts. Not sure if it's the club or shaft but night and day difference in my iron play. I also had terrible wrist and elbow pain prior to switching to the recoils. I'll NEVER go back. No pain even after long range sessions.

 

SM7's swapped out for Callaway PM grind 56 and 60 (also with Recoils). Love the bounce, love the high toe. Just great wedges! Not sure if I'd say they're better than Vokeys, but I sure have a lot more confidence with my wedges with these Callaways. Weird looking at first, but I have hit so many good shots with them so consistently, I don't care what they look like.

Lynx VT irons with AXE xcalibur shafts. terrific comobo.

[B.Easy]

I can't believe it, but the Mizuno ST190 with an Atmos Black 6X has dethroned the M1 440 with the AD DI 6x. My spin is still within 100 revs on the LM average, which really surprised me. Just sets up so well for my eye and I think that truly makes a difference for me. I hit every driver I test about the same distance, given the shaft is within reason. This thing just gives me confidence when I look at it. Like I have an idea where the ball is going to end up! Wasn't even looking for a driver, but one of our pros wanted one of my old sets of irons and told me he'd trade a custom fit Mizuno for them. So happy I made the swap. My fail has been in the driving iron department. Bought a Mizzy 2 iron and just couldn't make it work anywhere but the tee. Too low of spin to hit into any firm green. I don't need low laser 250 yard knuckle balls. I don't live in Scotland. The old 915 hybrid went back to her rightful perch in my bag.

Over the last year I went from playing approximately 5-7 times a year to once or twice per week, so of course I had to upgrade every piece of equipment I owned.

Driver: TM 2017 M1 9.5 to Titleist TS3 (actually got fit for once and picked up 17 yards carry avg.)

Fairway: Nike VR Pro Ltd to Tour Edge EXS

Hybrid/Driving Iron: Switch between a TM UDI 18* and a Ping I25 17*

Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo (will never get rid of these) to Srixon Z765

Wedges: A mashup of nike/mizuno wedges to Titleist SM7s

Putter: Scotty Golo 5 replaced by an old friend in a Rife Cayman Brac

 

Handicap went from approximately a 14 to a 6.3 in that time. This of course has nothing to do with my equipment but regularly playing weekly and playing in competition as well. But fresh gear never hurts either!

[MNoonan]

Went from an Odyssey Versa Tank 1 to an Evnroll ER5 and I love it.

[makanui]

I upgraded from Callaway Apex CF16s to the CF16 Pros. I thought I would lose some distance but that really hasn't been the case mainly due to a different shaft in the irons I think (S300s in the CF16 and Project X LZ 5.5s in the CF16 Pros).

 

I also swapped Big Bertha Fusion 3W and 5W for Rogue 3W and 5W. The Fusions were a little more forgiving but the face was too closed for my liking. The Rogue 5W has become my most dependable club outside of my SW.

 

Lastly, I upgraded the Big Bertha Fusion Driver to an Epic Flash Driver. Again the BBF was a little more forgiving but the Epic Flash is definitely longer. I'll always keep the BBF driver as a security blanket if I run into issues with my Driver as it is a fairway finder, just sacrifice some distance when I play with it

 

My entire bag outside of putter is Callaway family, I have a Callaway Pre Owned problem

[shanx]

Took a lesson late spring and my ballstriking has improved. I ditched the Callaway X20 Pros, Cally X Forged '07s, added Mizzy MP15s with C Taper Lites. Not sure if those shafts will work for me in the long run, but I am going to play them for a bit as I am still working on swing changes from the lesson.

 

Rotating three drivers (2 Titleists and a Callaway Epic), thinking about going to get fit for my driver soon..

I suspect I’ll sell the SL and the Exo as I prefer a milled face, find it much more consistent and pleasing to hit. Maybe will replace those two with either a Bettinardi Queen Bee #9 or a Toulon Palm Beach.

 

And as if by magic, a Toulon Palm Beach has been ordered, along with another Winn Dri-Tac Jumbo Lite grip (10g lighter than the Odyssey SL grip the Toulon comes with).

Trying M grind Vokeys for fist time. Find them superior from grass to F but lacking in sand

[JonnyKrasnodar]

The Cobra F9 driver replaced my 2018 M2. I mentioned in the Cobra F9 thread that the F9 simply blew the M2 away. As with all club hos, I promised myself that I'd keep my bag as is for the 19/20 season. Once I saw the driver and the reviews it got I got a demo of it on course for a few weeks to see how it performed in the various conditions we have here. The numbers spoke for themselves but when I saw the results on the course I ordered one immediately.

 

One item that didn't make it into the bag was the F9 Tour with Atmos blue stiff. No matter how well I hit it, I just couldn't find the trajectory that I wanted.

I decided to get rid and ordered the standard head (yellow) with an Oban shaft. Trajectory is perfect, can draw and fade it and the ball pops hot off the face.

Back at Thanksgiving, I switched to TE Exotics CB Pro Tungsten irons, in part to increase ball spin. Good and bad days hitting them, mainly because I can't seem to get my golf playing schedule in regular mode.

Last week...

* I took the Alpha 815 FW (18°) head that I had been playing at 20° as a 7W. Lofted it down to 17°, got slightly open face (stopped draw from becoming hook). Result: I can hit it just as far - and more consistently - as the Alpha 815 (14° head) at 16° (half-inch longer shaft). 17° is my new 4W, and the 21° XRail 7W is going back in bag.

* Got a face-balanced Ping Sigma.G Tyne putter. After first price cut, a sale discount and a trade-in, I got it for $120. I've been using SBST putting stroke, and my Slotline had too many left-right sprays. The Tyne has clean, sleek alignment back - other OEMs Spiders and Ray Cook options look like a distracting pinball machine when trying to line up putt. After some practice sessions, used Tyne in Friday scramble and sank a half-dozen putts for the team.

[nuttinbutapeanut]

Tried Ping LST (copper mamba) and Callaway Rogue SZ (Hzrdus yellow) drivers. Ping has been sold and Rogue is next to be sold. Neither could knock out the old Callaway GBB (lightening bolts on bottom) with Aldila Rogue shaft.

Tried Callaway Rogue (non sz) 13.5* 3 wood with HZRDUS Yellow and Cobra f7 3 wood with Fuji shaft. Both are great and knocked out my Tour Edge xcg7 beta Ti. The Rogue 13.5* is my favorite right now with the F7 a close second.

Still have the P790's........haven't felt the need to try anything else.

Sold all my sm6 wedges and Glide wedges and put in TM milled grinds 50*, 56* and 60*. These are keepers....

Replaced the Tommy Armour Impact series #3 with a Odyssey 2 Ball Fang Stroke Lab.

 

[ldchristopher]

Out: 2016 Cobra King MB/CB irons w/ C-Taper 120 shafts

Out: Titleist 712U 4 iron with KBS 120 stiff shaft

In and Out and Back In but Probably Out Again: Piretti Cottonwood 2 putter

 

In: Mizuno JPX 919 Tour 6-PW w/ Modus 120 shafts

In: Mizuno JPX 919 Forged 4-5 irons w/Modus 120 shafts

 

I hit the Cobras alright but I could feel my spin dropping considerably. The C-Taper 120 is bit too low spin/low launch of a shaft for me and I had enough forgettable rounds in terms of ball striking that it was easy to justify moving on. The JPX 919 Forged were bent one degree strong to blend with the Tours and that also took away some offset. The Tours are just as demanding as the Cobras but the Modus 120's are a better fit for my swing. I also missed having Mizuno irons in my bag. The putter looks great and feels even better but I've got a row of Anser-style putters waiting for their turn.

[chal0072]

Cobra F9 driver and Mizuno JPX fli hi 3h.

[Nixhex524]

Almost the whole current bag at this point... 2017 M2 9.5 has been my favorite addition by far. J15cb have also taken my game up a level... So much good stuff out there, even if you want to go back a few years.

[TServos]

I bought a new Ping putter cover. My old Ping putter cover was showing some wear. I’ll still use the old one when I practice, but I’m definitely “gaming” the new one when I actually play.

 

I don’t think I’ve bought any new clubs in a couple years...and those were just trading out old Titleist wedges for new Ping wedges.

[bogeypro]

I'm a club ho, so I've changed everything. Started the year with MP18 SC, m1 driver and 3 wood, vokey sm6 wedges. I then went to p790, m6 driver, m5 3 wood, hi toe wedges. Now, I'm back to my mlp18 SC. Just put in TS3 driver, TS2 3 wood, and sm7 wedges.

[greyman09]

Taylormade M5 Driver

PXG Gen 2 0311 irons.

[sdandrea]

Cobra F Max driver is a fairway splitting machine......made it in.

Odyssey V Line putter booted the Scotty Fastback.

 

G400 irons keep finding their way back into the bag.

I just wanted to share that I had a similar experience. I'm a fan of Cobra products and I really wanted to fit into the F9, (especially since it's less expensive) but I just couldn't get the numbers I needed - it spun more and didn't launch as optimally as the TS3, which I also preferred the shape and sound of.

 

I'm not sure exactly what it was about the head that didn't jive with me because we didn't do a ton of investigating. With multiple shaft changes it just wasn't doing what I needed it to when the M5 and TS3 were great with several different shafts, so we focused on optimizing those.
