*****UPDATE #1*****
Well that didnt take long, lol! After soliciting advice in the equipment forum, I was entertaining the idea of adding a 58* to the bag.

Popped into my local golf shop tonight to have him regrip a club for me(the new ap2 gap wedge I mentioned was coming), and while he was workin, I popped over to the used rack and Ill be darned if he didn't have two beautiful chrome VOKEY SM4 wedges in 8.5/10 condition and 54/58 lofts. ALL USED CLUBS 50% OFF!!! I paid $80 for 2 vokeys that look like they've seen the range a handful of times.

Tried to talk myself out of it, but I knew it was too good a deal to pass up. So now I'm planning to take 4i out of the bag and my wedge set up will be 51(gw), 54(sw), 58(lw).

Talking with Albatross85, decided auditions for the bag will end March 1. Gettin close to fillin her out though!

Yep, good setup, methinks. I don't have the AP2 gap wedge but 50/54/58 works perfectly for me and I have a 23* hybrid to do my 200-210 work for me.

I saw you were contemplating cranking the hybrid up to 22.5 - will you crank the 3 wood up to 16.5 as well if you do that?

[ghabanos]

I'm here to troll. I'm a fellow titleist junkie!!!

The F.d is awesome!!!

yea I'm going to experiment with the 3 wood. it's sitting at stock 15* right now, but I can launch it really high, and land it soft, so we'll see. Gap-wise, 16.5* makes more sense, but if it plays better at a high launching 15* then I may keep it there. Even high launching i think it's probably carrying 235-240 off the deck? So its what I need it to do. Hybrid at 21* plays 220 total (carry+roll) so if I tweak that up a tad, the 3wood might have to follow so I don't have a huge gap there like 215 hybrid and then 245 3wood, though I have those shots really only on Par 5s and long ones at that.

That euphoric feeling nearly made up for the 4 fat and 5 thin shots that I would hit while attempting to execute the flop.

LOL.... Yeah... But once you Master the flop shot.... It becomes the most reliable in the bag..,

[toolman]

Nice looking bag, nice to see other 757 golfers!

[MJisGOAT]

I know what you mean. I got bit by the anser line late 2013, but have managed to remain persistent and not change. Titleist gets me on prestige alone though.

[HoosierHacker89]

awesome set up my man! like the putter alot. Hope it is working well!

Thanks man! I actually am considering getting rid of the putter...we haven't been getting along as of late, and a buddy of mine was a Bettinardi I might give a whirl. Can't decide what I wanna do. It's definitely pretty, but if the ball aint goin in, who cares how it looks.

Yes sir. I am a anser style putter man myself. you gotta find what works. I think your set up is very clean, and could see myself playing pretty much the same set up if i have the cash (have to throw a titleist driver and vokey 58 in, but you get the drift).

Enjoy them. I have gone the retro ways myself, and i am playing cheap set up that is working really well (at the range....been stupid cold here).

Actually waiting on the mail to resume after the holiday before I update my WITB. The Adams Fast 12 still reigns supreme for now, but I have Titleist 910D3 coming with a Fujikura Speeder Tour Spec VC 7.2X flex coming that I am DYINGGGGGGG to hit and see if it can unseat the Fast12 from the throne, and I took my 4iron out as well as the ping 54* and added a 54* and 58* vokey.

So...to answer RBhan12's question...it won't be long before update 2.0. Just waiting on it all to get here and I'll snap some more pics.

Now THATS a beasty 3 wood....

[bryanwmilburn]

Duff!!! The man who convinced me to get the Fast 12 LS driver. Being the 3 wood ho you are, did you happen to try the Super Fairway XTD to go along with your Fast 12? I'm looking for a 3 wood and it's down to either that, TEE CB4, or SLDR.

Hey man I never did try the Super Fwy XTD, but honestly I wouldn't discount the 913Fd. Its unbelievable. So long off the tee and incredibly easy to get up off the deck. I would seriously consider it man.

[Duffner's Waggle]

Keep your eyes peeled, boys. Update 2.0 coming.

910F is gone....replaced by a newer, hotter, higher lofted relative.

The bottom of the bag looks a bit more uniform now as well....little bit of the SM4 variety, if ya smell what I'm cookin.

Also, as fate would have it (and as predicted by many of you) Titleist is trying to make a run at the #1 spot in the bag. A driver(AND SHAFT!!!) that just might have what it takes.


Pics to follow soon.

[Duffner's Waggle]

OK just waiting on some new headcovers and a new putter cover then we will be ready for the next big photoshoot.

Here's a sneak peak:

[b]Subtractions:[/b] 910F gone, 910h gone, Ping wedge gone, Nike wedge gone

[b]BENCHED:[/b] GoLo S and AP2 4i hav been moved to the bench, but remain a part of the team. Will see limited playing time.

[i][u][b]Additions: 913Fd 5w, 913hd 4hyb, Vokey SM4 54*, Vokey SM4 58*, Scotty Cameron Select Newport 2 Notchback [/b][/u][/i]

Awwwwwwwwwww sookie sookie now....this bag is freaking beautiful. Try to withhold your anger about my continued hoing and just appreciate the bag for what it is becoming. Season is almost upon us...then the hoing must stop and the scoring must begin.

As soon as the headcovers from Robert Mark Golf arrive, I will have some new pics to make ya drool.

[Russ757]

I find offense you blame me for your hoish ways..

Great bag... Now just leave it alone

[Duffner's Waggle]

Photobucket is jacked for some reason.

Here's a short sneak preview of what's comin....just arrived!

Tip of the cap and a golf clap for Robert Mark Golf for the headcovers and Albatross85 for the Cameron cover.

Longer, full bag photoshoot comin ASAP.

I think we used to work together at Prestige Staffing...Are you still in Atlanta? If so we should get together for a round of golf!

hey buddy! We sure did. I am actually not in Atlanta anymore. I'm back in Virginia Beach, VA. How you been? Good to hear from ya. I still keep up with TJ Elgin some, and talk golf every once in a while.

Wish I was in ATL to play some golf. Been cold and rainy here for a month. Hardly remember what my clubs look like.

[PeanutsDaddy]

Duff,

Really like the new headcovers. That black/grey colour combo is going to look clean with you bag and set. Looking forward to the bag update.

[Duffner's Waggle]

Alrighty boyyyys! Here we go.....had a few free minutes and didn't wanna leave ya hangin'

 

Here's the bag.....Titleist from Tip to Grip sotospeak.

 

Disclaimer: The HIDEOUS grips on the new SM4 Vokeys were there when I bought them and I haven't had time to swap them out yet. Cut me some slack!

 

New Setup with Additions

 

Driver: Titleist 910D3 8.5* with Fujikura Speeder Tour Spec VC 7.2 X flex tipped 1"

 

3W+: Titleist 913Fd 13.5 with Graphite Design Tour AD GT-8X

 

5W: Titleist 913Fd 18* with Diamana D+ 82 S tipped 3/4"

 

4Hyb: Titleist 913Hd 23* with Diamana D+ 92Hy X Flex

 

Irons: Titleist AP2 712 5-GW with KBS C taper Stiff +3/4" 2* up

 

Wedges: Titleist Vokey SM4 54*/ Titleist Vokey SM4 58*

 

Putter: Titleist Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 Notchback 35"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Would love to hear some thoughts on the new bag setup. You've seen the new head covers. I freaking LOVE them. And I love the Notchback as well. I honestly don't even know what else I could buy to top this bag unless I ended up trying out a 913D head to cap the 913Woods off.

 

If only the weather would take a turn for the better, I might be able to game these babies!

[StarFleetGolfer]

Very nice
All those different grips would drive me nuts though

You have no idea. I have 11 black/whiteout ndmc waiting to be installed. Kills me!

Nice setup! Titleist bag here myself!

[skylargolf]

Nice bag! Looks like this is shaping up to be one of those hoe threads! Not that that's a bad thing. I enjoy reading them!

[rbhan12]

Duff, glad to see you've got it all worked out! How long before you make the switch to the (presumably to be named) 915 series?
