gh0st64 WITB - the old and the new

[gh0st64]

Used to be a player about a decade and a half ago, spent some time rebuilding my bag over the pandemic. Used the same set of PING i3 Blade heads from age 13 until a few weeks ago, albeit I didn't play much between ages of 19-29.

 

The one piece I refuse to give up is this driver! r7 TP 425 with 75s Fujikura Rombax Reax shaft (I use the 85s in my 3 and 5 wood). I absolutely love hitting these woods.

 

When I came back to the game last year, I discovered that Cleveland 900 wedges are now illegal! Damn... I guess I'll have to settle for these Jet Black Vokeys.

 

Just noticed I still have the plastic on the legs of my bag lol, just arrived recently

Driving Iron: PING g425 Crossover 2 @17* with Mitsubishi Tensei Orange Hybrid Stiff Shaft (cut to 3 iron length)

Nice bag and welcome back to the game!  Your driver and fairway metals were absolute performers in their time!  Hard to let go of what feels great...  That said, if you spend enough time tinkering with some of the more recent offerings in Driver/fairway metal/shaft categories, then you might be surprised at what you find. In any event, those Blueprints look great and it’s hard to miss with Vokey in the scoring clubs. Hit’em well!!

Thanks man! It's good to be back. I'm interested in the TSI4 from Titleist if I was going to change driver, it looks similar at address. I can't get into the 460cc heads, so I like that option! I also like a more classic head and look as you can tell

I hear ya!!  The important thing is that you’re playing again. While many of us on this site are absolute gear junkies the primary focus is about playing and sharing our love for the game. The equipment is just a residual variable that can become addiction. Lol. Your bag is totally legit!

Welcome back to the game.  Nice bag.  Loved the r7 driver I had.  Sold it on eBay and got a TM M3 some years ago and like it; except I felt I could work the r7 much more.  Loved your Ping irons and the wedges.  Enjoy.

I could pick your bag up right now and play. Love the grips man!
