 Good add, I forgot about poulter in the line up at this time.

Jason Day has an interesting bag now that he’s a FA. He’s been changing a lot. He had mizunos and then went back to his TM irons. He swapped putters and used a 2-ball for a bit and then went back to his spider. His ball was the tour bxs Tiger ball and now switched to the bx. 

 

He’s such a great talent and nice guy, I wish he could stay healthy. If he does turn things around I think Bridgestone picks him up as a sponsor. 

 

[smashdn]

Regarding Day's bag, those TM irons are ugly.  Are those TM woods and if yes what model?  Noticed they have a sole very similar to the V-Steel sole.

All time fav -- Webb Simpson.  Not many big time winners with five headcovers. 😀

 

Also, like the small guys -- Brian Harmon (IZ 5S, Speeder II) and Brian Gay (Z745, etc).

Well, that one even says V-steel on it.

V-steel sole configuration was “reintroduced “with the SIM fairway lineup.

[smashdn]

V-steel sole with the Adams slot thing on the bottom and they may have a winner.  I bought one of the TM blue 3 woods and that sucker was garbage.  I don't recall the model but it is at home in a bag in the garage collecting dust and spiders.  I bought an Adams with the slot thing before the TM takeover.  Sucker is a rocket.  Lots of forgiveness top to bottom.

Langer's 1993 bag, indeed. And the second 1-iron is a 4-iron with a worn sole. 🙂

I'm pretty sure I saw him hit one of those 2 irons off of the tee on 17 at TPC Scottsdale back around the 2005 tournament. It looked quite a bit out of place compared to the other irons I remember and had some old lead tape on it. I didn't really appreciate it back then but it was the only club that stood out to me out of the many bags and shots I saw that day on that tee.

[mat562]

Always fun to look at Langer's bag. Even as far back as the mid '80s, when he was the first official world number one, he was using a bagful of scrag ends with lead tape everywhere that looked like something you'd find loafing in the back of a garden shed.

If you like multiple manufactures and lead tape, Scottie Scheffler's current bag in interesting

What the hell did I just see...

[iBanesto]

Jeev Milkha Singh's high handicapper clubs from 2008/2009.

 

 

DRIVER I use a Callaway FT-3 that says 8.5˚ but has been bent to 6˚. I’ve damaged my wrist so I set up with the club open at address, the 6˚ loft ensures the ball doesn’t go too high.

 

3-WOOD I have a 12˚ Callaway Big Bertha Steelhead with a Diamana x-flex shaft, the same as in my driver. I carry that between 250 and 260 yards.

 

5-WOOD I have a classic 17˚ Callaway Big Bertha that’s great for hitting into par 5s in two and long par 3s.

 

IRONS My Calllaway FT irons have extra stiff UST KB Tour shafts. They have a great feel and I love having a more forgiving head.

 

WEDGES When it comes to my clubs, I’m old school! I use Ping Zing wedges, 56˚ and 58˚. I have to order them specially as Ping don’t make them anymore.

 

PUTTER I use a Scotty Cameron Circa ’62 No.6. I’ve always liked this shape of putter and this has a really soft feel that I like.

 

BALL I’ve used the Titleist Pro V1x for three years. I think it’s particularly good in the wind.

 

SHOES I wear FootJoy DryJoys because my right foot has no arch and these offer great support.

I agree.  A fantastically individual bag. The irons were twenty years old at the time, and the fairway woods were even older, I think. Possibly from the 1940s?

Did not think about it before ( senior moment) those are reverse muscle like the Armour 925s of the early 50s--- Those appear to be remakes of those straight out of the Macgregor Custom Shop. Original 925s from the 50s did not use the Tourney Custom script the used the Tommy Armour script. But with Macgregor's custom department at the time they could be forged and ground to the exact specs and with Johnny's modifications too

[easylittle5wood]

Free agents in particular can be good. 
 

Bags back in the day with Titleist PT fairway metals or some super old Callaway fairway woods were always exciting. Staying power with older clubs of any kind is interesting. 
 

If a club in a tour bag can surprise me that’s always a plus.

@conorgolf22i had to google (because of your "because of the grips" comment w.r.t. Keith Mitchell's WITB ... presumably because Keith uses old-school victory grips? )

paying it forward here ( to save others a google)

I want the Golf Pride Victory cord grips!

[mat562]

Calc rocking a great wedge and the same green Victory Full Cords. 👍

 

If anyone has a stash of them, or Tour Wrap Full Cords or Pro Only All Cords, I have a functioning left kidney I can trade.

 

In fact, who am I kidding? For a big box of All Cords I'll throw in my brain.

 

Edited December 10, 2021 by mat562

[aenemated]

Oh man, old school Victory grips? Can you even buy those anymore? 

 

I'd regrip every single club I own with those OGs in a second. 

[mat562]

As an aside, why don't Golf Pride and Lamkin sell the things? The patterns are in the system. Even if they only sold a limited amout to old gits like me who want them - even at a tenner a pop - they'd surely make a profit.

[T-W]

Jason dufners NCW set up from a couple years ago has to be up there. Also DL3 from the mid 2000s… f305, 503i, prototype irons

They re-issued them about three years ago in the US.  I bought and re-gripped a set with them.  Not that great.  Tour Velvet is better.  The are nostalgic though.

Charl Schwartzel's bag last year.

 That's a rather vulgar golf glove.

[mat562]

Not quite as hammered as his old Tour Grinds from his heyday, but a sobering moment for anyone who looks at their six month-old set of irons and bemoans the fact that they're 'worn out' and hurting their game as a result.
