Molson18's WITB

[MOlson18]

A former competitive junior golfer who is starting to learn how to play the game for fun rather than winning competitions. 

This is the first time I've ever done a WITB so let me know if I'm doing it wrong lol

I've always been a "stick with what works guy" which is why almost everything has been in the bag for 3-4 years old. (other than putter, putter definitely does not stick to this rule lol)

 

Driver: TaylorMade 9* M5 with HZRDUS Smoke 6.5 

Been gaming these since they came out and haven't had a reason to replace them yet

 

3 Wood: TaylorMade 15* M5 with HZRUS Smoke 6.5

Same as driver

 

Driving Iron: Mizuno MP-18 Fli-Hi with Graphite Project X LZ 6.0

Been a go to off the tee for years hoping to be for years to come

 

Irons: Mizuno MP-18 MB(P-8) & SC(7-4) with KBS C-Taper lite 115g

Had Oughtons strip these raw over the winter and added some BB&F ferrules, one of my attempts to have more fun just playing the game rather than competing.

 

Wedges: Mizuno T-20 Raw 52* and 58*

Switched to a two wedge setup from 50-56-60, have really loved it. The 58* works well from the sand as well as open face chip shots. Most of my shots inside 75 yards are with the 58*. 

 

Putter(s): Mizuno TP Mills #9

Bought this at Play it again Sports on a whim and it has won its way into the bag. Loving the feel of the head as well as the weight, as long as it keeps making putts it will remain in the bag.

 

Toulon Las Vegas

Previously owned the spot in the bag for almost two years. Loved the look of the #7 head as well as the feel of the milled head. Flow neck also fit my stroke really well. Added a matte black CT tour shaft and stripped the paint fill from weight as well. Will definitely find its way back into the bag at some point.

 

Mizuno Bettinardi CO-3H

Classic look and feel, don't see myself ever selling this one. Finds its way into the bag a couple times a year.

 

Tour Issue Mizuno Bettinardi

Recently bought this off the bay to try a sight dot Newport. Love the blank sole and the sight dot but it could never beat out the Toulon for a spot in the bag

 

Long Neck Tei3

Its in rough shape but I love the look of it. I've always drooled over Tei3's and finally found one for a decent price. 

 

Black Spider tour

Hasn't seen the bag in a really long time but I've made a decision to never sell a putter I'd consider playing in the future so here it stays.

 

Bag: Camino carry bag

Another addition over the winter and really love the bag, there are flaws but it beats $400+ for a Mac

Great set up. I also have your gamer TP.. also bought at Play it Again sports on a whim. Hasn't made it's way into my bag yet.

 

Love your bag and headcover look too.

Thanks man! Appreciate it!

 Loving the TP Mills right now. Great looking and feeling putter. I’m sure it’ll make it into your bag someday.

Love the set up - similar to my current WITB (which I need to update!).

 

Where do you play your golf? 

 

The Camino bags are interesting. I've been using a Penfold (another Mac copy) for a couple of years, but I've finally given in and ordered a Mac.

Very classy setup…looks awesome!

 

Love the look of the headcovers and those irons look 😍😍‼️

Thanks! Play most of my golf in the eastern North Dakota northern Minnesota area. Long winters lead to a lot of golf purchases lol. 
 

I’ve liked the Camino overall but you can definitely tell it’s not top of the line. Quality in my experience isn’t quiet there.

Thanks! Love the simplistic look of it, a blank sole and sight dot has always been something I've drooled over. I just wish it would hole a few more putts for me lol.

Putter carousel continues. Nothing this year has stood out above the rest.

The TP Mills ran for a while but I think it may have just been a honeymoon phase.

The Toulon remains old faithful but I don't love the weighting of it. I prefer a lighter head which makes the Toulon feel like a hammer in my hands.

That brings me to the most recent pickup. Found this tour issue Bettinardi at 2nd Swing and knew I would kick myself for leaving it there. So far I'm loving the look and feel of it, but we'll see how it does on the course.
