How many WRX have $1k bags

[Peoples Golf]

this is not a good topic... i hate counting that high.

[Milo]

Have had quite a few expensive bags on my way to finding what works best for me and that I enjoy playing. The gear below in my gamer bag cost by far the least of any of the other gear. Most of it is pretty old and I bought it from the BST here on WRX.

The only outlay I foresee soon is a new set of wedges and a possible reshaft of all the irons.

[racolon]

Current Bag: (3rd set this year)

R7 Limited $170
Rescue 09 TP $199
Rescue 09 TP $199
TP Irons $899
Z TP Wedge $120
Z TP Wedge $120
Z TP Wedge $120
Scotty Fastback 1 $300
TMX T2 $329

On the way:
R9 460 TP Matrix HD6 $300

Box of 12 Dozens DT Carry with name: $240
6 Dozens of ProV1X $240
2 Dozens of Burner TP with LDP $45
3 Dozens of ProV1 $120

Mizuno Gloves (2) $20
Adidas Gloves (2) $30
Taylormade Gloves (2) $38

Not counting apparel thats where I spend a lot, so far this forum has made me aware of what I am spending on golf...
Well guess I wont ho for 2010 and stay with this bag for a while....

[mattsam]

I'll go by what its worth, because everyone knows its only worth what you can get for it

New classic head $300 Matrix F6m2 $200
3 wood head $150 fujikura $125
5 wood head $125 fujikura $100
4 and 5 hybrid heads $60 total, shafts maybe $100 total
6-pw (these are high dollar, shafted for the whole set I own 2-pw) $1500
wedges these are expensive $500-
Putter to replicate used $250 (its priceless for me)

What is that: WOW $3310 is about right
But most of that is in three major items, the irons wedge set and drive. And the wedges are hit 2 rounds and the driver is NEW

Its just about what you like to do with your free time and an income level. Most of my stuff is older items that I purchased when they were at a low price point. I can probably play all year long and not see one other person with one of the clubs I own. Who really cares right?

I probably fork out $1000k a year on new golf items, like this year the wedges and the classic driver (s) were the big expense. I just try to upgrade a better performing club when I can but that's not expensive. Say you have a superquad TP driver nice stick. You can get $250 for it. On BST there are some R9 heads that are $250-300. So all you do now is come out of pocket the shaft cost $100- $400 typically
Thats the way to build a bag.

I agree..

[marrigo]

First the gross costs:

Superquad $75, Rombax 6Z08 Free
Hyper-X Tour Free, Fubuki $70
TEE CB2 $90, Blueboard $80
ProGolds (2) $150, Rombax 8D07HB (2) $75
Srixon i701 tours w/Steelfiber shafts $225
Yururi Wedge $45
Scratch Wedge $35
8802 $45

Total Gross cost= $890


Now if you take what I sold after I got these the costs looks like this:

Superquad $75, sold Blueboard in it for $75; [b]net cost $0[/b]
Hyper-X Tour Free, Fubuki $70; [b]net cost $70[/b]
TEE CB2 $90, Blueboard $80; [b]net cost $170[/b]
ProGolds (2) $150, Rombax 8D07HB (2) $75; sold A4 hybrids and shafts for $90; [b]net cost $135[/b]
Srixon i701 tours w/Steelfiber shafts $225; sold Ping i3+ for $225 and PX shafts for $125; [b]net cost -$125[/b]
Yururi Wedge $45
Scratch Wedge $35
8802 $45

Total Net cost= $375

[quote name='gandor' post='2132472' date='Dec 18 2009, 04:01 PM']i would say 90% here carries over 1k. if you have said 3k then maybe you get some challenge.[/quote]


That is what i was thinking , a set of new irons and a putter will run over $1000.

[Qegurezi]

Roughly

$320 9015D & BB73
$300 CB3 & XC75
$180 CB2
$100 XCG Hybrid

$250 Vokey x 2
$300 Squareback

$2000 about

[PGA_09]

I'm lucky in that I only have had to purchase the shafts for my woods as I got the other items through staff deals and whatnot. I also got a PGA PUD on the shafts so it didn't hurt as badly as it could have. As far as value:

Main Bag
Speedline 9032LS Ozik HD8 Black Tie 369+400=769
Speedline Fast 10 3 Wood Ozik HD9 Black Tie 200+400=600
Pro Black Hybrid Ozik Altus Black Tie 200+200=400
Pro Black Irons 3-PW Stock Shafts 1000
Vokey Wedges 120 x 2=250
Odyssey Black Series Tour Design 270

Total for the gamer bag: $3289

Back-Ups
9015D Oban Tour Proto 300+425=725
Speedline Fast 10 Driver Ozik F7M2 300+450=750
Insight BTY Oban Devotion 8 150+170=320
FP4003F Ozik TP7 200+1000=1200
Rossa TP Maranello 300

Total sitting in extra bags: $3295

[minhjn]

Easily over 1k

Driver - 279 new
3 wood - 169 new
3 hybrid - 100 used including new shaft
4 hybrid - 60 used including new shaft
5-PW - 230 used
3 wedges - 99 X 3= 297 new
putter - 299 new
bag - 150 new

$1285 and i thought i did pretty good, considering my irons were used. had i bought brand new irons, i'd be approaching 2k easy

this doesn't include an immediate regrip once i buy a club, or adjusting loft/lie of the irons

[longbal30]

A friend of mine has $6000 invested in his bag, that is not including any extra clubs or anything, just a 14 club bag with the fillings. He is nuts.

[Dizz]

I don't even own a set of golf clubs right now...LOL. But last season my bag was worth well over $1K, fortunately I did not pay for most of it. The only clubs I had to pay for were the wedges which were $225 for 3. Driver, hybrid, irons and putter were free. Bag, balls, glove were free.

[TM golf guy]

I'm sure someone has said this, but the question should be "How many WRX'ers have $1k putters?"

[Clark]

My bag is worth 500 bucks!

:(

 

I've got a used mizuno bag: $15

Donated clubs: free

Pw: $10 ebay

putter $120

driver $250

Shoes + balls

-------------------------

$500

 

But I'll be getting a new set soon! hopefully!

[mauiatheart]

Let's see....OnOff 247 3-PW $2500. Yes, I am over $1K.

Since my backup bag has the same irons....damn I spend too much money on clubs.

At it's most ridiculous, JDM heavy makeup, I calculated the bag to be over $5K, without the bag.

[fenice_69]

Incredible how much money we spend on this game that we love...

Driver: Adams Speedline Classic w/ a GD Tour AD DI = $710
3-wood: Adams 9033HF w/ a GD Tour AD Quattro Tech = $240
2-hybrid: Adams Pro Gold w/ KBS = $140
Irons: Ping WRX Custom S57 w/KBS 5.5 (hard-stepped) = $800
3 Scratch wedges (1 8620 and 2 1018s) w/ KBS shafts = $380
Putter: Mizuno Bettinardi BC-1 (custom finish) = $240
Shoes: Adidas Tour 360 Ltd. = $180
Ball: Taylormade Penta = $50

Equipment total = $2740'ish

[BIRD]

Driver: 325
3 wood: 260
hybrids: 140
irons: 450
wedges: 275
putter: 500
bag: 150

= $2100

+ rocket tours, adidas shoes, pro v1x's, all the gadgets and gloves

and i am probably just the norm

[longoffthetees]

Hmm...

I think I may be under 1k

a4 9015D w/ Cinnamon - after all the shaft swapping I ended up with $220 in it
Launcher 3 wood - $55
Ping G10 Hybrid - $75
Ping s57 4-P w/ KBS - $475
Ping Tour-W wedges - came with iron set
Ping B-61 (old style) - $35
Ping Latitude Bag - $125
Pro V1x - 2 dz on eBay for $30 and used them all last year
Golf Shoes - B-Day present

Yep... just under 1k and a great bag of clubs IMO

At one point last year, I had over 2k in my bag

[golf9596]

This made me think, what have I done to myself???? You ask if I have spent a grand on my bag, PLEASE...I have that in retail putters that I don't use..No "tour" stuff just what works. Back up bag 2k...Just added a new FT tour driver to my gamers and that puts it over 2K..plus back ups and stuff....Time to post a BST add.....LOL

[mshills]

I'm a bit tight with a dollar. Some call me Ebeneezer. I've been accused of having deep pockets and short arms.

I prefer "frugal."

My bag and approximate costs as I remember:

Cleveland Hi Bore XL driver, bought barely used for $125.
Mizuno F-60 4-wood, also barely used, $60.
Bridgestone J33 AirMuscle 2 "ibrid," stole this from the PGA Superstore used rack for a whopping $20.
Ping Eye 2 3-PW, $0. Given to me in ~1992 by someone I caddied for every week for several years.
Cleveland 588 black 56 degree, stole this from the PGA Superstore used rack for another whopping $20.
Titleist Vokey Spin Milled 58 degree. Shocking, this I bought new, I think it was $120.
Hogan Bettinardi Big Ben belly putter, also got this from the PGA Superstore used rack for $40.

Less than $400 in clubs.

Mizuno carry bag was about $150 and I have a $30 Daphne's Scottish Terrier headcover. Surprise, surprise - I get all of my balls from Lostgolfballs.com.

I do splurge on shoes - [i][b]must[/b][/i] take care of the dogs, and I'm a big believer in buying the best quality shoes you can afford.

This leaves plenty of cash for what it's all about - PLAY!

[zblowfish]

Yeah I'm definitely not at 1k, but I buy stuff off ebay

Driver - Tour Burner 9.5 originally bought at 150 dollars

Driver Shaft - Grafalloy ProLaunch Platinum bought and installed for 60 dollars

3 wood - Burner 15 with stock shaft 90 dollars

3 Hybrid - Burner 18 degree with stock shaft, 65 dollars

3-PW - Titleist 755 w/ ProjectX 6.0 + New Era grips - 165

SW - Vokey Spin Milled 56 - 55 dollars

GW - Nike SV 52 - 50 dollars 2 years ago ><

Putter - Ping Anser - 70 dollars

... and the grand total around 700 dollars
