WITB and Off Season Pick Ups

[Big Johnny69]

So just wondering if/how anyone's bag has changed over the length of the season. And what are you looking to pick up in the off season (a particular club or one of the new releases):

As for me, I did pretty good this year. Stayed with my BStone bag for most of the season, but once all the competitons were done the ho in me resurfaced and I've made a few switches. But looking to head into the off season with the bag I have now with the exceptions of a few additions I'd like to try.

Driver: Ping G2 10* w/ Diamana Ion Flowerband Blueboard

Fwy Wd: Ping I3 5wd w/ JZ Cushin Steel

Irons: Ping ISI-S 2-PW w/ Cushin Steel

Wedges: Snake Eyes Forged 600WB 52/56/60 w/ Rifle 5.5

Putter: Guerin Rife 2 Bar Blade


Looking to pick up during the off season:

I'd like to grab two or three matching Ping wedges and possibly a Ping putter to round out the all Ping bag. I've tried pretty much every other all OEM bag, why not a Ping!



Other than that, bag isn't going to change over the off season......but I won't make that promise once the season starts.

[LobWedge]

I'll make you a deal on the putter...

[John]

I've made a few end of season changes....

1. Irons are now Nike Forged Blades 3-PW, Black Gold X.
2. 60 degree is now a Tour Issue Titleist 60-V Grind.
3. Putter is now a big momma Tri Ball SRT White Steel.

well my bag now sets up as such:

Driver - Cally Great Big Bertha 9* with stock
3wood - B'stone J33 15* with Accra SC75 stiff
3-pw - B'stone J33 blades with Black Gold Stiffs
GW - Cally X-tour Vintage with BGold Stiff
SW - Cally X-tour Chrome with broken Spinner 5.5
LW - Cally X-tour Vintage with Spinner 5.5
Putter - Scotty Cameron Studio Stainless Newport 2

Made some changes as of late, happy about the putter, but the driver was just trying to rekindle some old love!! I love my bag in all areas other than the driver and adding a 4/5wood. Not sure on what kind of driver i want, something more of the shallow variety, i know i loved my buddy's Cobra Speed X.

would also like to pick up a new carry bag. other than that i think im good to go for next year... thats if the bordom of winter doesnt get to me first.

[Big Johnny69]

Can't tell, it's still hush hush. The papers haven't been signed yet.

[Mattchew]

Hello kettle, is that black I hear calling????

[Paulio]

Dude, come on.. I have had the same 60 wedge and putter ALL year!

[Mattchew]

60* not much longer hint* hint* geoff!

[Big Johnny69]

60* not much longer hint* hint* geoff!

Well now the joke's on you, Ping is no longer in the scene. I am heading down a new path. What can I say, I'm a club addict.

[Paulio]

I forgot that I just actually changed my putter.

[Mattchew]

go Cleveland! then I can get what I want at half the price in a few weeks!

[Big Johnny69]

Nope, suprisingly it will be a mixed bag. Go figure hunh????

[sillywilly]

I'm pretty set with my bag. I just need to settle on a putter and get some wedges.

I'm def sticking with belly and also I'm def sticking with mallet. I can't decide if I want something with a milled face or a soft insert. Still need to try them and see what I like best

[Marcos]

Started with Ben Hogan Apex pro irons,then got Big Bertha irons,then got an extra set of Titleist DCi,then traded for Tomy Armour Morph irons,and now in the middle of trading on another set of irons,Golfsmith pro blades(wich i was told once belonged to a certain moderator person).Love to hit those blades they are so sweet.I promissed my wife i would not trade anymore this year but.......

[Ginker]

With the exception of the ever revolving door of putters I changed drivers t his year and added a 5 wood and thats it.. Pretty impressive

Only change I forsee for the off season is to pick up a 907D2, maybe a set of blades and of course putters!!!

[BC MIST]

So just wondering if/how anyone's bag has changed over the length of the season.

Went to a Wishon 919 driver head, 7.5*. In the off season the plans are to improve my swing, not change the contents of the golf bag. Boring but practical.

[jeffc]

I added a R7 425 TP which I am looking to reshaft. Other than that, I don't think I have bought any new clubs since the start of the season. I guess there is still time.

[Section Thirty One]

I'm looking to pick up some new irons over the winter. I miss my Titleists!

Aside from that, I might pick up a Ping Rapture as the big stick if the price is right. Wedges, putter and 3-wood are all safe.

[Wilster]

Gonna experiment with a few drivers over winter , but i'm not sure which yet, everything else is set , i might pick up a few alternate clubs , 3 & 5 wd but that's it ......

[jvincent]

I rotated shafts in the drivers as usual and am back (again) to Sabers.

The hybrid experiment has resulted in the #3 and #4 solidly in the bag. The #2 was replaced late in the season with a 4W.

I picked up a new putter that will probably be solidly in the bag.

In the off season I will be FLO'ing the shafts in both sets of irons. Not looking to change anything else unless I win the auction on ebay that I've got my eye on.

[rezadue]

Well,

I am pretty happy with the current lineup, but if the boss gives her permission, I would really like to pick up an all black superquad. And perhaps a 4h TM Burner. Maybe a SunIce rainsuit as well. A TM carry bag...

I know. I am dreaming....

[spackler]

I am going to buy more putters. On the hit list are: a Ping Scottsdale Anser in nickel, a Bettinardi BB-1 or BB-5, a Mills Soft tail, a Byron 007 in oil can beached and/or a C&L same style when they come out with lefty versions early next year. I will also be getting more Scotty Camerons.

[Golfbum]

There is a new TM Super Quad staring at me everytime I walk in the Pro Shop at the course I work at. On top of that the PRO is tempting me with a good price on it. Maybe one more round with the demo and that should be the deciding factor.
Other than that, all I added during the summer was a Vokey Spin Mill 56 to replace my RAC Satin 56.
Bounced back and forth between my YES Tracy II and the Rosa Fontana, the Rosa is solid in the bag right now.
