SUMMIT's WITB 2021

[SUMM1T]

I logged 5 rounds last year and have told myself I'll be playing more golf this year. As my game has declined a little, I have decided to go a different route with my equipment. The only clubs set in stone are the irons, wedges and putter(s). Everything else will be fully tested when I receive all the new stuff. 

 

Driver - Ping G410 LST 9 (turned down 1 and flat) w/ Tensei Pro White 60TX at 45.25" w/ Tour Velvet Align Tack

3 Wood - Ping G425 LST 14.5 (turned down 1 and flat) w/ Accra TZ5 75 M5 at 43.25" w/ Tour Velvet Align Tack

2 Hybrid - Honma TR21 18 (turned open and flat) w/ Ventus Black 9TX at 41.50" w/ Tour Velvet Align Tack

UT Iron - Srixon ZX UT 3 (20) w/ Ventus Blue 9X at 40.50" w/ Tour Velvet Align Tack

Irons - Srixon ZX7 4-PW w/ Mitsubishi MMT 105TX (standard length off 38" 5 iron) w/ Tour Velvet Align Tack

Wedges - Cleveland ZipCore 50 (51) and 60 (hand ground to suit my use) w/ Mitsubishi MMT 125S w/ Tour Velvet Align Tack

Putter(s) - Both are Olson putters and play 34". The gamer is the Legacy (Newport 2) and has a black KBS putter shaft and Grip Master perforated leather grip

 

I built the irons to be a slight progressive swingweight. The PW is at D3.5 and the 3 UT is at D3.0. The wedges are at D4.5 and D5.0 and everything else is D2.5. 

 

I will be testing the drivers once I get them all in as well as fairways. The hybrid gets swapped out with either a 2 Iron UT, 5 wood or a 54 wedge depending on the course I'm playing. I'm currently using the TP5X and will most likely switch over to the new TP5X when it comes out. 

 

I designed the bag and had Vessel build it. I don't take the bag out to play golf. I use a Ping Hoofer Lite White Camo. The headcovers were made by Coobs Golf.

Just WOW! I want the same irons, wedges, bag, headcovers....

Crazy nice bag! Good luck and play well!

How stiff do the MMT 105s play?

I love them. I gamed the Fuji i95 Pro X for a little but they felt loose to me. Have been a PX 6.5 player for a while. The MMTs are my favorite shaft of all time. I tried the 125TX but preferred the feel of the 105TX.

Really want to try out the MMT this year.

Everyone should give them a try. It’s been my most successful shaft in the last 6 months with my golfers.

I might opt for an S-Flex then. I do have a relatively deliberate tempo and my transition is not very aggressive. I am around 110 with my driver (at least i was about a year ago) but have always done better with not too stiff shafts 😉 PX 5.5 is a little weak for me, but does okay because of the stiff profile, but if you used the 6.5 and now the 105TX is fine, that is very likely to stiff for me. Thanks for the feedback!

Lovely bag.  I played Srixon irons at a tournament years ago and loved them.  Will surely be considering them when I change my current set.  Love the wedges; I favor the Cleveland head shape as well.   How do you like the Zipcore wedges?  Did you use RTX3/4 earlier and if so, what changes did you see?  Thanks.

Enjoy.

You can always hard step the 105S to get in between the flexes. I would say that don’t feel overly harsh or stiff at the 105 mark. The 125S and TX can get to be a little boardy if you’re on the line.

I gamed Ping Glide 3.0 until I made the switch to these. I tried the MG2s for a while but didn’t get along with them. The ZipCores are great. Probably my favorite shape in a wedge. I can’t compare them to the RTX3s, as I have never hit them.

That vessel bag is awesome!  Nice set up!  I’m curious to see the ping camo bag as well.

[agood3putt]

Love the upgrades to the Olson you made! Hope all is well brotha!

I’ll post some pics of that as well. I am tempted to throw my Mizuno Staff stand bag in play though. It is such a good looking bag and has a ton of pockets.

Yeah, those mizzie staff bags are sweet!

[SUMM1T]

Here are pics of the Ping White Camo and the Mizuno bag. I typically use the Ping Camo bag when I can get out. It has a stain on the bottom that I actually just cleaned off (kids will beat your gear up if you leave them near it). I also got some new toys to test out. Very excited to try both of these. I will be tipping the Ascent 1" and playing it at 46" and then the 1K Pro White I'll tip 0.5" and play it at 45.25". Not sure just quite yet what I'll be testing them in, but I am really enjoying the Srixon ZX7 driver. I do have a soft spot for the Honma TR20 440 though. I should be getting my SIM2 and Mizzy gear shortly. 

 

 

 

[wam78]

Both of those bags are great.  However, that ping bag might be my favorite.

[SUMM1T]

I think I found my gamer driver (at least for now). 

 

Callaway Epic Speed 9 (turned down to 7 and flat with a LH Red Dot Tour Adapter) with a Tensei Pro White 1K 60TX tipped 0.5" playing 45.25"

How heavy is that Mizuno bag? Looks great but also looks quite heavy to carry. Or is it just an optical illusion?

If I remember correctly, they are about 7 pounds. I like how much storage it has, but it’s not as light as the Ping for sure.

Yeah I'm not sure I'd enjoy walking with that on my back all loaded up for a round...

[Callaway96]

The all white look is sweet, do you have to clean the bag frequently?

I don’t use the staff bag when I play. I keep it in my studio for the most part. 

[cleverprimate24]

Best looking bag I've seen on this subforum. Beautiful.

@SUMM1T

Can you share a bit more feedback on the MMT?

Did you go straight in, or hard stepped?

What do they compare to?

What prompted the change?

I actually have the best dispersion with 6.5 but just lack about 4mph and height to maximize their consistency.

[Jwin323]

Like the headcovers. Who makes those?

I had Coobs Golf make them. They did a great job.  They also made me a valuables pouch and a yardage book.

Straight in with the MMT. I don’t play very much and wanted something lighter/easier to swing. All of the steel I tried in the lighter weight didn’t feel great or stable. They don’t really compare to anything in all honesty. They are stable and tight but don’t feel overly stout. The 125TX felt stout to me, and sometimes a little harsh. The PX 6.5 gave me great dispersion, but I struggled to work the ball with them.

Love your set up!!! What shafts were you playing prior to these? If PX 6.5 did you notice a huge difference in weight? I am currently in the PX 6.5 shafts and I am intrigued by going to the 105 TX, but am concerned about the weight difference throwing me off. Thanks in advance!

I built them to my swingweight. It took me a few sessions to get used to the new weight and feel, but I’m thankful for the weight change. As someone who has always preferred a lighter shaft weight but could never find the stability in lightweight steel, these are exactly what I was wanting. 
 

I played PX 6.5 before as well as Modus 125X.
