[quote name='parpar41' post='2135114' date='Dec 20 2009, 10:37 AM']Surprised that nobody has chimed in yet with the 2009 equipment innovation that was highly received by a number of golfers on this board : [b]Cleveland Niblick [/b][/quote]

That may be my best purchase for 2010!

SMT DB+ driver - more distance! I always love more distance.

Bridgestone WC LC 52* wedge - hot a bunch of really good shots with that club.

A 60 degree Black Nickel Vokey with KBS shaft and a 2ball center shaft.. I guess blades aren't my thing

[janus]

Best buy was definitely the MP-600 Driver. Swing smooth and carry 250yds consistently and straight - even slightly off centre hits.

Still coming to terms with my new MX-25s (that replaced an old set of Mizuno Faldo-i). Flight is higher (welcome). Slight reduction in length (not a problem... 6 iron now consistently 160yds). But very sensitive to swing coordination. Fast (anxious) arms leads to major hook. Get it right and it feels/sounds wonderful!

Here in UK we have many public courses with small, hard greens (since they must survive loads of play). The MX-25s are the first irons I've had that have a chance of stopping!

I bought Nickent 4DX CBs and I love 'em.

But nothing beats my Niblick.

[Pepperturbo]

909D3 and aftermarket F6M2.

[ProjectX]

Seemore M1, the rifle scope technology forced me to learn how to putt and I dropped 4 putts per round from the switch.

[mrclowny]

Frogger Brush and towel was the best investment i made this year!

[seanindetroit]

my scotty cameron newport also love my titleist sm wedges

[moelndal]

My best buy was a used Adams Idea Pro 20* with an Aldila VS Proto. This baby does not want to go left!

Edit: After thinking it through, maybe it is a toss-up between the hybrid and my Bushnell 1600 Tournament Edition.

This was a big year so I don't know where to start...

1. Nike One Tour D ball...a godsend
2. SkyCaddie SG-5...it did take 5 strokes off my game
3. Titleist AP2's (original)...I didn't know golf could be so much fun
4. Sun Mountain Superlight 3.5...well, it's a christmas present so I haven't officially gotten it yet

It was a good year.

[wrmiller]

Well, until today I would have said my Mizuno MP-68s.

But after my round this morning I would have to say it's my new Bettinardi. Man, I didn't know I could roll a putt this good!

[hayam]

Alot of clearance and great buy this year.

MX 700 Driver
r9 TP FW
pi5 irons.

[ksavy17]

superquad 282!!! I miss that thing so much. Never drove it better than I did with that thing!!!

[flowrider]

9015D from gppgolf.com for only $69.99! Up here in Canada they're still $399!!

[driverhead]

Never Compromise NXT RAY putter.

[jinkim_nc]

new bobby grace sanibel putter for sub $40. it replaced my scotty and i saw a used sanibel on sale for $149!!

[phrantic]

my irons.

[buster74]

Toss-up between TEE CNC's and the 909D2 WB.

Both were amazing upgrades and unbelievable deals.

[gvogel]

I bought a Bushnell V2 and a Leopold GX-1. Both worked out great, and there wasn't more than a yard difference when measuring between the two.

Nice and small, either fit into the top pocket of my carry bag.

The big surprise was that using them inside 80 yards inspired confidence to go right at the flag, which I never had before. Instead of guessing at the length of backswing on a partial shot by eyesight, I gained confidence by knowing exactly what I had left to the pin. Of course, that is not to mention the confidence in choosing the right club from 100 yards to 200 yards.

I nominate both, or either, as the best purchase for 2009.

[tonster]

9015D - cheap even with reshaft and longest driver I've ever hit
Skycaddie SG 2.5 - got this as a bday present and now I can't imagine a round without it

[ph00ny]

FT-9 Tour 8.5* w/ Fubuki 63X, S9-1 Pro 13* fwy, Nike SQ2 13* fwy, and fubuki 83x shaft

[lp36]

TEE XCG hybrids without a doubt.

[gotem]

mizuno mp 60

[puttitin]

The 9015 D and the Ping Redwood Anser

[thelefthander]

Not that I've been able to play much since I got them, due to horrid weather and work commitments, but my Titleist 731PM irons were the best purchase of this year, and it was a complete accident and forgotten bid on eBay that got me them

[laudb1]

Surelly my ZTX Irons !! Sweet ... soft... pure... and.... scoring lower than before with them with more greens in regulation than ever before !!

[dayll]

I'm kinda old and have been I've been A TM guy for many years but on a lark bought the Adams Speedline (2009 model-I liked the paint job on the bottom of the club.) and I REALLY - REALLY hit the ball ten, maybe fifteen, yards further with zero loss of accuracy. Got me thinking of a Speedline 3+ now. Note: I'm one of those strange cases that for whatever reason fare better with OEM shafts than custom. Custom fitting for driver has me at zero for two! and of course out more dollars than I care to say. My Speedline is 8° S. Swingspeed is 98-100. My good ones get in the fairway at about the 270-75 range. My bad ones threaten those on adjacent fairways. -dayll

Bought two Adams tech A4 prototype 9015D heads in 9.5 and 10.5...look at my signature...both are fabulous...I haven't hit the 10.5 with the ATTAS 8"S" enough to say I like it better than the 9.5 with the UST Tour Black X yet...but both are easily game savers for me. tomg1969 introduced them to me which I am eternally grateful...amazing how I've been soo frustrated with drivers for so long...now I have two that are incredible!!!
