I play Taylormade or Wilson Staff Driver & Fairway woods along with Titleist hybrids.

However always shafted with a Japanese shaft such as Graphite Design, Fujikura Tour Spec or Accra.

TM Tour Issue M6 10.5 GD ADDI 7S
TM The One 13.5 GD Accra TZ
Titleist 818 H1 19 Evenflow 85 S
Onoff 2011 4-Pw Roddio Pentacross I-10 SX flex
Wilson Staff Forged 52, 56 & 60  & Miura KM-350 putter

Game Cally woods/hybrids as I have for a decade just used to looks etc...some GD shafts, some others. 

 

Mizuno drivers have come a long way and if I didn't already have the ecosystem (and trade in/up) would give them a hard look more because they perform vs. country of origin, but that is a bonus I suppose. 🙂

I'm experimenting with Ryoma fairways. If the D1 F2 works out then I'll have to test an F5, and maybe a D1 Maxima.

Been gaming Titleist woods/hybrids for years, probably since the 913 came out.  The look/feel/sound make up for the lack of distance compared to Cally/Ping/TM, although that gap has gotten a lot closer.  

 

Would be very interested in trying out some of the JDM options, but my golfing budget is already large enough. 🙂

Adams or TM, sometimes a Titleist hybrid. Cally x forged ut, ping and Cally wedges are money. Wilson, Dunlop, or Odyssey flat stick. For sure still dialing in the top of the bag. And struggling to let go of putters that find the hole

TM 300 Mini 

Adams Idea Pro Gold Tour Proto 20*

Callaway X-Forged UT @24*

Miura CB-501's; 6-PW

Vokey Spin Milled @51*

Cleveland 588 Rotex @56*

Ping PLD Prime Tyne 4 or Odyssey WH XG #9

Well, it was a Mizuno The Craft 611 driver and an MP-650 Titanium 3 wood... but the driver got booted out by my old faithful - the Adams 9015d with a Diamana ZF 70S in it.

🙃

Tour Edge Exotics C721 3 wood 13* loft, Fujikura Red Ventus R shaft.

Tour Edge Exotics C721 5 wood, 18* loft, Fujikura Red Ventus R shaft.

 

Miura 1957 blades 3 - Pw, Shimada 115gm R shafts.

Miura Giken MB-5000WC 52* wedge, Shimada wedge shaft.

Miura Giken MB-5000WC 56* wedge, Shimada wedge shaft.

 

Note: I've developed a chronic inflammatory condition over the last couple of years, and the Shimada shafts (much as I love them) are now too heavy for me. I'm having the irons re-shafted with Aerotech Steelfibre i80 R flex.
