My driver is the new King Cobra L4V F. This driver has been a huge improvement to my game. This club has taken 3 strokes off my handicap. I have never had a club do that for me. I have watched the commercials and laughed that a single club could help your handicap. I am not sure that a specific club does that for everyone, but this one has for me. The shaft is a Diamana stock Regular shaft.

 

 

 

My 3 wood is an older King Cobra Comp I bought on a golf trip 2 years ago. It has worked well for me. The shaft is a Graphite Design YS5.1 Stiff shaft.

 

 

 

I carry 3 hybrids. I used to carry a 2 iron. I dropped that for a hybrid 2 iron and quickly realized that the hit the hybrids high and they can land soft on the green. My 3 iron before would need need to land 5 yards in front of the green to stop. I like these Cleveland hybrids and they are available for a great price now.

 

 

 

My irons are TaylorMade RAC CB irons. I was told when I bought them they were forged by Muira which before I joined this forum meant nothing to me. I am not sure if they are. I am seriously considering to upgrade with new irons but I have decided which irons to buy. The shafts are Rifle Precision.

 

 

 

I love my Vokey wedges. I have alot of bounce on both because I have read the Utley chipping method and he suggests wedges with lots of bounce. I have a 54 and 58.

 

 

 

My putter has a very long story that involves a Justin Leonard putter, it is too long for this post. It is a 33 inch Studio Stainless putter in black pearl with snow. I had it refinished by the Scotty studio about 2 years ago and had him put my initials on it. It is a great putter

 

 

 

 

My ball is the very underrated Bridgestone B330S. I recently switched from the Pro-V1. I had used the Pro-V1 since it came out, this was a good ball to replace it.

 

 

 

Thanks for looking!

Nice bag! Your putter is very cool.

Awesome bag, love that putter (I say tell us the story!) and the irons. :yes:

Well the story is not that interesting actually. A few years ago I was an avid Cameron collector. I was not in the league of most of the really good collectors but I had about 10 Camerons. My problem was I liked to play them too much and they really need to be kept in perfect condition to hold their value. One of my purchases was a putter designed for Justin Leonard. It was a great putter and I gave up 3 to get it. It was previously owned by Bob Vokey who is the ultimate Cameron collector. So much so that he wrote a book on the history of Cameron putters. It used to be for sale on the Cameron website, and it is a pretty good read. He sent a signed copy of book along with the putter. He is a really nice guy. The JL putter truly was a collectors item. I was not the right person to own it, because I wanted to use it. I later found this guy with a store in Southern California who collected Camerons and put them on display at his store. I think he sells some and has a museum for Cameron putters. He was the right guy to own this putter.

 

I traded that JL putter for the current putter I have. I probably lost money in the deal but it was the right thing to do.

I would tend to agree with the "right thing to do" idea. Some of the putters honestly look too good to putt with. But I can't see me owning one with no intention of gaming it either. It was a nice gesture of your part.
