You are average at driving which is why you are so focussed on your 2nd shot club but its not quite consistent yet - this is evident by so many long 2nd shot clubs: the 17* sldr 2h and a 2 UDI 2 iron and also the presence of the 4 hybrid.

 

Your need assistance with these long clubs to get your ball close to the green.

 

The MB are interesting, I'd say you like to feel you are can play these blades but I think you are inconsistent with your iron shots. You do not hit down on these muscle backs with the small pin sweet spot. I would guess that you probably going to a more forgiving set of irons would better your game but I think either your ego says "NO" or your foursome says "no".

 

Your wedge selection is interesting. A 54 bent to 53 - I am guessing this is your 100 yard club but you hit it 90 and come out short so you have it bent stronger. Your medium range pitching is OK but not quite consistent. You probably play a mid level ball, like a nxt tour so you probably want the Rotex to work for you to give you the spin to stop. You would get the Spin Mill 6 if you could but you got the Rotext for a bargain price and hey, they work for you...but u would eye the Vokeys if the price is right.

 

Putter....you see the Scotty Cameron Newport 2 as probably the gem in your bag and you probably do better at putting than the irons or the long wedge game.

 

I would say you are probably a mid capper, around 14 and your SS is probably 100-102 and probably hit a 7 iron 150. You probably play the tips because you think you can so those long 2nd shots really hurt you and you need all those clubs.

 

I would say if you get go some more forgiving irons you would benefit your scores and work on your driving, your cap will improve.

 

...but that's my judgement based on your clubs. Tad Harsh but I'll call it as I see it. Now you'll tell me you're scratch but hey, the Internet never lies, lol :golfer:

Judge Me:

Titleist SM6 50, 54, 60 KBS Tour

you like men, but you prefer women. You give your friends whiskey but you help yourself to a flask full of tequila. You are not a drunk. You do not give women Cosby pills. Instead you bring out the big dawg when no one expects you too. You try to put your balls deep but are often met with the very hairy rough. Taylormade is your brand, however occasionally you have been caught holding the Titleist shaft. Lastly, you met Cameron at his studio but he tapped you 2 at Newport.

Some stuff right, others a bit off and I'll explain. The bag is a little bit of a mash up, as nothing was purchased at retail, or even close for that matter. I spent the most on the iron set which was a whole $300 new.

I have had troubles with accuracy with the driver, however since putting the 7m3 in it has done wonders compared to the stock stiff adilla. My 2h is my 3w replacement, as I've always had more success from the deck with a hybrid than a fw. My home course has many, many low hanging trees and that's why I carry the 2UDI for when I end up in the "forest". I can keep the ball very low with that club, and use it off the tee on the couple doglegged short 4's. I do enjoy my MB's, and love the consistency I get from them.I truly believe my ball striking is good enough to play them, but still need to work on consistency in my iron swing, as my natural draw can turn into a big hook sometimes.

 

I bent my 53 to close the yardage gap between the 56. This club is actually my 125-130 club, my 60 is my 100 club. You are on the spot with my inconsistency with my mid-long range pitching. Some days I have the feel down, others I'm all of the place with distances. I stocked up on the TM Penta TP's and Lethals when the went on a very large clearance, however have just switched to the Bridgestone B330 ball.

 

You're darn close guessing a 14, as I fluctuate from a 9 to an 11. My SS w/driver is 108-112, and definitely hit the 7i further than 150. Which in honesty leads me to another flaw in my game, being that I swing way too hard at times. So that's my story, and actually some things you read on the internet are true. :D

[jslane57]

It used to be said that you judge an opponent by their shoes. Now, I don't know, maybe by their 3 wood. Or maybe their gap wedge. My clubs are older but the weights and combos are to where I don't want to replace. I think I may be judged like "eh" on first glance, but judgments flip quickly when people play well with time tested equipment. I know when I see bags full of brand new top price equipment these days, it's not their golf game that first pops into my mind.

[SwingBlues]

Cobbzzor - no worries, it was all fun...now its your turn to pay it forward with analyzing someone else's bag...feel free to use my line about the internet...it's the "FOUR" in this thread, lol.

Wannabe Callaway staffer. JK mate but all jokes aside, You are a young guy who can really go after it. You're good enough to know someone that knows someone that hooked you up with the prototype MB's. Your ball striking is your strength and your know your exact distances with each club. Your short game 100 yards and in is money and you know how to pull off different shots, hence only 2 wedges. The Odyssey #7 tells me you like the forgiveness and roll of the mallet type putters.

You're bag is dialed in to exactly what you want. You play the same course a lot and you have the hybrids because you know when and where you will use them every single time you play. You're bag is is also top heavy as you might not be the longest of hitters, but are good enough to do well from the back tees. You feel extremely comfortable around the greens and your playing partners sometimes call you a short game wizard. You are single digit guy, but tend to be inconsistent and can go low or go high.

Yeah this has gone way off track from the hacker/fanboy bashing thread that was intended.

Yup. At least at the beginning when people posted their bags they were giving a review too. Now it's just "here's my bag (isn't it sick?), judge away!"

[shart6]

What my Sun Mountain Swift X says about me. Its eight years old badly faded but still in excellent condition otherwise. If it could talk it would like to visit every state (42 so far), prefers to be carried, likes tournaments, doesn't like airplanes, would remind me it has pouches I've still never used, take the gloves off the handle and don't replace me for another couple of years.

Those gloves are character (and back ups of the zombie apocalypse were to occur on the back nine).

[hdr_ric]

This does look entertaining ....

 

Ping Anser 10.5 degree with stock ping shaft (stiff), set to neutral

cobra amp cell 3-4 wood (set to 17 degree/4+) with X flex KuroKage shaft (club head is mostly white version)

Ping G15 hybrid (20 degree), +1 inch

Ping Rapture 4i-gw, +2 inches, white dot, stiff

Vokey 54 degree spin mill, +2 inches and I think +2 upright

Vokey 58 degree (one model older than the red spin mill), +2 inches and I think +2 upright

Ping senita B 38 inch CB putter

all in a Sun Mountain C-130 cart bag

ProV1x

I'd be pretty shocked if anyone gets close to me based on the bag.. it kind of a hodgepodge and a few things are overdue to be replaced.

First up, your middle initials are M.K - Matt Kuchar. Dude, you must be as tall and have a very upright swing. Everything is extended but at least you know how to fit yourself with any equipment now but its costly as everything has to be extended or bent...which is probably a reason you don't change equipment too often.

 

You are definitely not like the 99% of this WRX community - equipment hoe. You find what works for you and you keep it. This is evident by the Anser driver, it works well for you and you are pretty straight with it. I don't think you are that fast of a swinger and I will guess you probably hit this 260, may be 270, probably a fade is your natural shot.

 

3 & 4 wood is interesting, you probably got a good deal on these 2 clubs as a pair and it came with the x-flex but hey, you can hit it and its long enough for you.The G15 is overdue but you hit it so well...tough to replace.

 

The Rapture, you really like. Its long enough for you, forgiving. I think you'll keep this till there is a hole in the face and then you'll lash out for another set of Raptures. These are big heads but in your mind & as you hang around here, you care less about the size of the head and can't be pushed to the blade pings like the S series. These raptures work for you and you're happy, end of story.

 

The Senita B at that length is probably putted arm lock style. You got it because you struggle with putting, it was the weakest part of the game so it helps that Ping has a big mallet head and the face grooves which work for you. This is the club that you say to yourself..best thing since slice bread.

 

Ok, I think you are probably shoot at a 9 to 11 cap but you can score, hit it about 260-270 driver. You luv what you have and only change when you really need to like the putter or hang on to it till it dies, G15 hybrid.

Ok, you are one of those really pedantic golfers. If you go into a restroom and the toiler paper isn't rolling over or under, you'll fix it or go to the next cubicle. Your sock cabinet are all neat and organized and your house/condo is spotless pristine. Why on earth would you specify whether you have the correct or pom headcover and ball numbers #1 and 2s...man, if we played in a scramble, you'll freak out if the group decided to play with a Callaway ball or ProV1X with a #3...

 

You are well to do in your job, you like the latest and greatest and proud of it. It is a show bag -but- unlike a poser, you have game. Easily hit 300 with a SS around 110-112 but you sometimes lose it left as evident by swapping out the shaft.

 

KInda surprised you keep the RIP in your 3wd, thought you might swap that out for a Rogue or 757 to match the driver, or put in an AD

 

What is interesting is that you have a He-man driver, yet your 714 irons are a mere S300 and not X100s. You're all out 100% with the driver swing but the irons, you slow down to get control. I would say you're a pretty good wedge player opting for a Vokey 46 instead of the AP2 PW, I don't think you are much of a digger, you like to pick the balls as evident by the low bounce SW and LW.

 

"I also don't wear glove"...ok, note to foursome, bring clorox pack when playing with you. Feel player.

 

Probably a 8 capper, shoot higher or lower depending on how well you hit the driver...and u are eyeing the 917 when it comes out.

[uflorida1]

Hahahahaha amazing

1. I def don't go to the bathroom on the golf course

2. I have baskets separating dress socks from athletic socks

3. I don't lose it left, I lose it right - so the Rogue 60 helps me come around on it better

4. Great idea on matching my 3w shaft - i should check the BST

4b. I have a 915F 3W sitting in my closet BC I duck hooked two OB two weeks ago so cannot bear the idea of ever hitting it again - it's cursed

5. I'm all about iron control and wedge game. King of the 3/4 punch iron approach

6. Hahaha nailed the 8 capper assessment but even more so crushed the fact that I've done more background research on the 917 driver than the FBI did on Hilary's email server

 

Thank you! This is incredible
