First Witb


Recommended Posts

First Witb I've done.   Over the last year I've overhauled almost my entire bag,  but as my swing is changing,  it'll likely change more in the future. 

 

Last year,  iron play was incredibly inconsistent for me,  and as a result,  i had to add in a 4i between my 5i and 4h.  I've been working a lot on my striking,  and I'm about ready to lose it as my 5i has gotten much better

In the bag:

😧 SIM2 w/ oban Kyoshi  White X-stiff

4w: SIM Ti 19, 2* flat with 5w shaft stiff

4h: SIM Max w/ hzrdus smoke black stiff

4i: Ping i10 purple dot stiff

5i-9i, pw, gw: Ping i210 orange dot w/ dynamic gold s300

56, 60:  taylormade Milled Grind

putter: Ping Craz-e

 

Driver: SIM2 8.0 w/ Oban Kyoshi 65g05 flex (extra stiff) white

I've gone from the 2016 M2, to a SIM.  I broke the sim,  and TM sent me a brand new SIM2 under warranty.   Love this club.

4ish wood:  SIM Ti 5w, 2 degrees strong with Diamana stiff 75g (5w length).  Shorter length for a bit better control,  stronger loft for a bit more distance.   This club lifts the ball really well, so the flatter loft still launches nicely

4h: SIM Max 4h 22* with Hzrdus Smoke Black.   Love this stick.  Not much more to say about it.

4i: Ping i10 stiff, purple dot.  These were my dads old irons,  i used them for a few years prior to buying the i210.  This is in the bag due to inconsistent iron striking leaving a big gap between the 4h and 5i.  I'm hoping to take this out soon with my iron striking improving considerably.

5i-9i, pw, gw: Ping i210 w/ dynamic gold s300

Bought a set of i210 after a fitting at Golftown.   The fitting was terrible,  but i came away from it knowing i liked how the i210 irons hit.   I found a good deal on blue dots, and recently sent them away to get flattened to orange.  (2* flat) They feel incredible,  and as my ball striking is improving,  they're just incredible

56, 60: Taylormade Milled Grind

My first real wedges.  I always just had old hand me down sand wedges.  A new set of wedges makes a big difference

Putter: Ping Craz-e

By far the oldest club in my bag,  but I've got such a good feel with it.   I have no incentive to change at this point.

Ball: Srixon Z-Star XV

This year I'm trying the XV.  I was hitting tp5x last year,  but the XV has always worked well for me too when i find them.   For the cost,  i think it's worth a try20211227_111906.jpg.2045ae6e79fca76109757942275b1022.jpg

Still playing the M2 myself... What improvements have you seen with the 'update?'

I'm a pretty high spin driver,  with my m2 i was getting upwards of 3500, so the SIM seemed to immediately bring that down. 

 

The SIM2 isn't a huge improvement as far as numbers over the SIM, but it feels different.   So much carbon fibre just works.

 

That,  and I'm a believer in twistface.  My m2 was prone to snaphooks as my bad miss.  Twistface seems to reduce how bad that is.  

 

Having said all that,  the m2 was a great driver.  It still holds up today.
