What are you buying next season?

[captwilks67]

Figured it would be fun to make a post like this. With all the new gear being announced, it’s fun to think about what you would want to change for next year. I’ll go first:

 

driver: Ping G430 Max w/ Tensai 1k black 70 Stiff 

woods: Ping G430 Max 3 wood w/ ventus blue 70 Stiff 

hybrids: Ping G430 Max 3 and 4 w/ ventus blue 80 stiff 

irons : Srixon ZX7/ZX5 combo w/ KBS Tour Stiff shafts 

wedges: Edel Wedges 50, 56, 60 w/ DG wedge shafts or Tour V wedge shafts 

 

not sure on the wedge spacing. Would either get rid of a club somewhere else and add a wedge or maybe go 50 54 60 

[J_Tizzle]

G430 LST for sure.  And the wedges are due for an upgrade, but thats probably about it.

 

Oh and one of those new Vessel-looking Sun Mountain bags and some Winston Collection headcovers.  Maybe those new Puma shoes...

[ChadL]

Titleist TSR 3

Driving iron of some sort.

Maybe new irons.

What is a "season"?

Something you put on food to make it taste better, I think. 🙂

[Briggs2158]

I have a serious problem with buying golf equipment I do not need. I literally need nothing. I have some of the newest equipment right now and I’ll still somehow end up buying at least a new iron set. Depends what Callaway replaces the Apex MBs with.

What’s the T stand for in LST? Low Spin…?

[Chappie]

I'm mostly investing in shafts. My speed has returned, I'm in the 112-115 range with my driver right now, and if I stick with it through the winter I think I can get back to 117-119 range I was when I was swinging my best. I'd also like to fuddle around a bit more with the top of my bag. I tried doing 3/4 hybrid with a 3w, but I can't stop myself from hooking the 4h. I think I might have to open up the 3h to 4h loft, and drop the 4h, then go back to the 5w. It's less versatility, but I feel more confident hitting it and not hooking it into the west coast. 

[Springsteennut]

Pretty happy with where I’m at. I did wedges, fairway wood, hybrid , bag and shoes this year so it feels like I should take a break next year.  I know blasphemy.

[golfinbrad]

Everything but hybrid and putted.  Doctor said I need graphite in irons and wedges because of an elbow issue.  Driver and 3 wood was just because I can't help myself.

I always assumed it stood for "Low Spin Technology" or it could mean "Low Spin & Trajectory" 

[Is Golf Fun or Work]

Not certain, but once my fitness allowance is replenished Jan 1, thinking of MAYBE:

 

Odyssey 5K putter

trying an Apex UW

2023 C130 "Patriot" color scheme

[roundersmitty]

What I am thinking “nothing”

 

what will actually happen…..buy one or more of just about every club in the bag, selling what I think is inferior.

Main shaft which interests me is one for my driver. I want to get a maximization fitting for my current EXS driver, and maybe test out some out lighter shafts in my Callaway XR16 Pro (prior big club).

 

If I could pick up 20+ consistent yards on my drives, it would really juice my game.

 

Otherwise, it's largely Year of the Swing 2. My 2022 plan was to exorcise my swing, but three spinal lumbar injections delayed my golf season until last week of June. The 2023 season may largely be swing enhancement.

Technology?

[SDG90]

Probably my grips first. Don't know if these wear faster than others, but my Tour Velvet Cord grips only laster for about 30-40 rounds, before they were useless in rainy conditions. Also, the TV Cords are tearing up my right hand like sand paper. My previous grips (MCC +4) almost held up twice as long. Normal Tour Velvets are too slippery for my taste. Interested to try the CP2 Pro or new CPX grips next season.

[St Jimmy]

I'll try the G430LST and new Stealth driver, but probably won't buy anything unless one blows away the G425LST. 

[Striker Ace]

Pretty much done with my obsessive behavior. 

 

Maybe a new putter.

Have you tried zcords? Ive been using mine for their third year. Great with traction and are firm.

[SagedCrusader]

Driver TSR2

3w TSR2

Irons Mizuno JPX923 hot metal 4 - SW

new cart bag

possibly tsr2 7w and putter

[DoubleBogeyBlues67]

New grips for the 13 tools, I regrip em every year,( putter grip is fine) and thinking about trying a mallet putter out. Haven’t gamed one since my zebra putter in high school, been anser “style” since 1999.. the ping Mundy looks good, so does the Cameron 5 flowback, we’ll see what’s out by march.. 👀 maybe try some different “necks” on some putter as well.

Driver: G430 LST

Fairway: G430 Max 4 and 7 woods or TSr 4 and 7 woods

Irons: NewLevel 902 OS/PD combo or new ZX5/ZX7 combo

Wedges: Hi-Toe 3 58*

Putter: Doubt I'll change this but ya never know

[otto6457]

The age of my current set is as follows:  (newest to oldest)

1. 2010   Titleist 910 D3

2. 2009  Titleist SM7 Vokey's 54/14, 58/10

3. 2008  Seemore X2 putter

4. 2005   Titleist 755's 3-PW  DG X-100's

5. 2003  Nickent 24* hybrid

6. 1998  Taylormade V-Steel 3 and 5 woods

 

I believe the time has come to replace everything except the Seemore.  My wedges are shot and the wear on the 755's is really starting to show.  There's too much good technology out there now and I feel like I'm giving up too much in distance and trajectory.  It's sort of sad to see this set get replaced.  It's been a LONG time since I've played anything else.  (I guess Ping Eye 2's were the previous gamers)

 

This go around I guess I'll go the full monty with a full bag fitting.  I haven't been on a launch monitor since 2010 so I would think I can improve on what I currently have. 

 

[forrester_fire]

I will probably replace my 56, but that's about it.

[phizzy30]

Going to get a Diamana GT here soon and that's the last major change for me for the rest of the year.  I may get the Stealth 2.0 or whatever TM calls it next year even though the Stealth + i have right now is behaving.  Also have a hole in my golf bag where a mutant squirrel was chewing on it to get the food inside so my bag is due for a change.  Also will have to replace grips as well sometime early next year.

Should is the operative word.

Hi toe 3s are interesting me a lot. I love my new levels. Sold my ZX5s after my first range day with them. 

[Nelson.br.1515]

Just put in an order for a LAB MEZZ.1 MAX. Been goofing around with the regular MEZZ at the local PGA store and have been impressed with the results. 

[sloansav62]

ProV1 Left dots (maybe)

Vokey LBK grind raw 

Stealth 2? 😀
