Early WITB 2008..

[Ginker]

Well its early into the new year but I know lots of you are getting your bags ready for the up comming season.. Here is what I am planning (though I haven't gotten ride of any of the old gear ;-) )..

- Titleist 905R (Same as last year)
- TaylorMade Vsteel 4 wood
- Adams Idea Pro Hybrid #4
- TaylorMade TP MB 4-PW (looking for shafts)
- 50 degree OC Vokey
- 54 degree OC SM Vokey
- 60 degree Cleveland 900 Gunmetal
- Putter.. hmm I have 5 right now so who knows...

Things could change as I am looking at a new set of wedges..


What are you guys planning.. Any changes? Same old?

[jvincent]

Right now I have no changes planned. Notwithstanding a couple of clubs that are in the regular rotation, I don't see this changing.

Driver: Wishon 525 or 915. Both shafted with Saber 75.
Fairway: Wishon 949 4W shafted in a Saber 75
Hybrids: #2 --> #5 Wishon 785HF shafted in ProjectX 5.0. The #2 and #5 are not in the starting lineup.
Irons: 5 --> PW Wishon 550M shafted with PX 5.5 soft stepped twice.
Wedges: Wishon CX Micro 52, 56, 60 shafted with PX (52, 56) and Air Rifle (60)
Putter: Hogan-Bettinardi BHB5.

I'm going with the whole "new" bag baby...

So far i've got
Driver: Nike Ignite 460 Tour Issue/Planning on grabbing Superquad TP
Fairway: Callaway X-Tour 15 Degree/Diamana BB 83X
Hybrids: Taylormade 07 TP Rescue 17 Degree/Tour Only GD 105X
Taylormade 07 TP Rescue 21 Degree/PX 6.5
Irons: Taylormade TP CB 05/Project X 6.5's 5-PW

Putter: Guerin Rife Two Bar Blade

[Indio]

I'm going with the whole "new" bag baby...

Delicious...

BUT, are you changing the shirt colors?

[spackler]

I am thinking that the bag is mostly set.

Nike Sumo 10.5*
TM R7 tp 17.5*
TM Rescue Mid 22* and 25*
Mizuno MX-25s 5-GW
Mizuno MP-R 56* and 60*
The current putter rotation is strong, but I am thinking the Mil-Spec and Mike Weir Newport will be the main gamers.

I also have a 19* Sonartec MD that I will sub in for either the R7 fw or the 22* Rescue Mid, or if I drop the lob wedge. And I'll probably reshaft the R7 fw, it's currently got a r300 in it. I am feeling good about the bag this year, looking for some consistency finally.

[hoolio]

Irons: Taylormade TP CB 05/Project X 6.5's 5-PW

Delicious...

I'm waiting to post until these end up in the BST section... Hopefully alongside their younger brothers (3 & 4).

[Blue]

So far it looks like this will be in my bag....

SMT 455DB 10*
Bridgestone J33 3w
TM Rescue Dual 22* and 19*
TM RAC TP 5-PW with Rifle 6.0
Scratch 56* and 60*
Scotty Red X

Still need one more wedge and I should be set

[MusicMan]

I have actually decided to not change a thing in my bag through 2008. i will be a guitar ho instead through 08. unless something juicy pops up around here.

[davevandyk]

love my bag right now... it has changed a little from last year, and will be the bag for the year:

Driver: Cally FT-5 with Accra SC65 M4 tipped 1/2"
3-wood: B'stone J33 15* with Accra SC75 M4 tipped 1"
2iron: B'stone J33 Airmuscle 18* with Accra Tour HF M4
3iron: B'stone J33 Airmuscle 22* with Accra Tour HF M4
5-pw: B'stone J33B with DG Black Gold Stiff
GW: Cally X-tour 52* Vintage with DG Black Gold Stiff
SW: Titleist 56* Spin Milled Oil Can Spinner 5.5
LW: Cally X-tour 61* Vintage with Spinner 5.5
Putter: Scotty Cameron SS Newport 2
**Putter could possibly be SS Newport 2 "beach" if i get it before i leave for Auz.

That's the bag, unless i can finally get a driver that feels optimal... i tend to hit my 3wood 240ish, driver 250ish doesn't feel right to me.

[Nat Williams]

Ping G5 9.5* - S Flex Rombax
Titleist 904f 15* - S Flex steel shaft / Cobra 4+ (if the shaft ever gets replaced)
Nike Pro Combo 2i
Titleist 731PM's 3,5-PW - Accra 5.5's
Vokey 50, SM 56, SM 60
SC Newport 2.5

pretty much identical to last year's bag. Finally klept away from GT and the BST for a year

p.s. kinda want to try X-Tours, but don't want to spend the $$ .. esp. with all the $$ that went into customizing the 731's.

[The Saint]

Taylormade TP 510, Speeder 757 shaft
Ping G2 w/ Diamana Blue board

Tourstage Z101, w/ Nippon 950GH shafts
Mizuno MP60

Wedges: too many to choose from, but will probaly play the Vokey SM's
Putters: Custom Studio Design 2 from Scotty Custom Studio or Studio Design 2 from Kevin Colbert or one of the other 6 putters.

[LobWedge]

New driver: Adams Insight BTY, Prolaunch Red.

New irons: Orlimar CNC Proto forgings, 4-PW, DG X100.

New ball: Pinnacle Platinum Feel. Always looking for the best combination of value/performance. "Is it soft? Like a pocket full of pudding."

Probably stick with the rest from last year, except maybe the hybrid.

[Nat Williams]

Chris, I'd thought you'd be looking @ a new driver after yesterday

[The Saint]

Update: Driver: I may look for a left handed 2 iron.

[Golfbum]

So far two new Srixon Wedges, the WG-706 Forged model.

Most likely a different driver.
Never know about the irons, I just got the G2's last year so they might make it through another season. It all depends!

[Nat Williams]

Update: Driver: I may look for a left handed 2 iron.

Lefty 2 irons are what dreams are made of .. well maybe not, but they help keep the piggy banks full

[Txxxxxxx]

I switched over to MP-60's late in the year last year after I sold my 67's and I was throwing darts with them. I also figured out something with my swing so that could have contributed to the good iron play. I'm contemplating whether or not to order a new set of irons this year or keep the 60's in the bag.

So this is my current lineup with things to be added in brackets.

Cobra X-Speed Pro D 9.5*(Taylor Made SuperQuad TP 9.5* w/VS-Proto)
Cobra X-Speed 13* w/Fuji Speeder
Taylor Made Rescue TP 19*
Mizuno MP-60's 4-PW(Talotr Made R7 TP's w/Project-X OR Ping i10's w/Project-X)
Callaway X-Tour 52*(Ping Tour-W 52*)
Titleist Vokey Oil Can SM 56*
Titleist Vokey SM 60*
Taylor Made Imola(To be determined)
Taylor Made TMX Stand Bag
Taylor Made TP Red 2008 Version
