MattC555’s 2023 Bag

[MattC555]

At the range today and took

some photos.  Figured I’d share them.  
 

Bag:  Mizuno BR-D4

Just got this bag and so far I’m impressed.  Works well carrying or in a cart. 

Driver:  G410 Plus Big Minus setting, Ventus Black 6X no tipping.

 

This setup has been very reliable for me.  I keep trying to kick it out of the bag, but I haven’t found anything better.  I turn it down to open the face, and counter with the weight in the draw position.  
 

3 Wood: Sim 2 Max Ventus Blue 6S HL

 

This is, no joke, the second 3 wood I’ve bought in 25 years.  Hahaha.  Love this setup.  Considering picking up the standard loft version as a back up for windy days.
 

7 Wood: Stealth Ventus Black 7X

 

Still on the fence with this one.  Considering some kind of 3 iron to complement it.  ZX5 maybe?  

Irons: Mizuno MP20 MB 4-PW Project X IO 6.0 standard length 2 deg flat

 

Love, love this setup.  Turf interaction, launch, feel, just wow.  I’ll play them till the grooves are dead.  
 

Wedges:  SM9 50/12F, 56/12D, 60/04T S200 2 deg flat

 

I’m in New England where bounce is generally your friend except when it isn’t.  Pairing the two high bounce with the low bounce T has been a great combo.  When I’m on Bermuda I just favor the 60 more.   I like using the stick shaft as it allows me to try different grinds more easily 

Putter:  Odyssey White Hot Rossie 

 

33” Superstroke grip.  It’s been my only gamer since I bought it in the early 2000s.  Love it, will probably play it for 20 more years.  
 

Ball: Pro V1

The ball marks on the 4 iron and driver says "playa"! Curious about the stiff in the 3w and the x-stiff in the driver and 5w.  Just works in that head?

It affects me that you put the wedges in the top compartments and the driver/woods in the bottom one 😄 but cool gear nonetheless.

Yeah, that stiff shaft just works better.  I've tried the x flex, but prefer how the stiff loads in the 3 wood.  I need the 7X black in the 7 wood to keep my launch down a bit.

Haha.  It's setup that way because I was playing out of a cart over the weekend and hate digging past my woods to get to the irons.  I typically switch it back to the "normal" arrangement when I carry.

Glad you aren't forgetting to bring a towel!
