Early WITB 2008..

[davevandyk]

yeah they are... but ive always wanted those CG1 BPs since the day they came out

well i have gotten to see the CG1's up close lately and hit them and they def. aren't anything to sneeze at!

[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.

just as i say this is the bag... i have scooped up a Tour Edge Exotics 13* to maybe use instead of a driver, as at least on the sims, i was hitting it just as far as the driver and i know i can hit it straighter and more consistent! Just need to find a killer shaft that's gonna give me a bullet tee ball that RUUUUNS

[Gropper]

Ok so i think i am done, with the exception of a couple shafts for the hybrids!

Nike Sumo 10.5 w/UST V2
Nike SQ 3 wood
Nike Slingshot tour hybrid 18* & 21*
Nike Pro Combo Tours 5-PW
Nike SV Tour wedges 52*, 56* & 60*
Scotty Cameron TeI3 Newport (restored)

[Sakuraba]

I've loaded up a few clubs lately: replaced my 56 & 60 with new spin-milled, added a new 5 wood and a nice hybrid.

I'm now over the 14 club limit, going 4-pw, and I'm unwilling to toss the 4 iron.

I'm leaning towards tossing the 3 wood.

You could just get rid of the putter. I haven't seen you make anything over 3 feet since Martin was the PM.

[Sakuraba]

I was thinking the same thing. In fact, the 3 footers are the problem.

I am going to follow the rule that if you're not hitting a club well, take it out of the bag, thus I shall remove the 3 wood.

The putter is the only exception to that rule.

[Mattchew]

not much changes for me.

Cleveland Hibore XL Vs Proto (same)
Cleveland Launcher Comp. Going to pick up the XLS 19*
Cleveland CG2's ( May go with the cg reds)
Cleveland CG12 52*
Cleveland RTG DSG 58* (NEW)
Scotty Circa #2 (new)
and picked up a new Cleveland "Canadian Flag" stand bag.
also going to get a hibore XLS 19* hybrid

[marcf]

Took me most of 2007 to change the whole bag, so just some tweaks coming...

D - Taylor Made Burner TP 9.5 / Grafalloy Comp Proto Pink X Stiff
3W - Taylor Made R7 Steel 15.0
3H - Adams Idea Pro 20.0 / Aldila Proto by You
4 - Pw Taylor Made R7 TP / DG s300 (Just changed from X100)
52/56/60- Nike SV Tour Black
Putter - Ping G2 Craz-E (Black inserts not the traditional Blue)
Pretty Much a TM guy now. Was a Titleist player for a long time.

[Big Johnny69]

Have done much swapping to end up with the following bag set up to start the season:

Titleist 983K w/ BB Solution 130
Titleist 906F 3 and 5 wd w/ Mercury Performance Plus
Titleist 690.CB 3-PW w/ TTDGS300
Titleist Oil Can Spin Mill 56 and 60 w/ TTDGS300
Teardrop TD19

[jvincent]

Anyone taking bets on this configuration actually being in Geoff's bag when he tees off for his first round?

I can guarantee it, because the golf fund has officially expired. I have a few debts to pay off first, but the only change that might happen before spring is getting a Scotty putter to round out the bag. Other than that, unless I can trade stuff, the bag is set to start the season. Sure I've said this before, but I have big plans for some personal stuff come springtime, so unfortunately I won't be able to amuse my forum friends with all my wheeling and dealings. I know this will disappoint many, but all good things must come to an end at some point. We'll call this a hiatus, if you will.

[jvincent]

Famous last words. My crystal ball sees many trades in your future.

We'll see my friend, we'll see......

I, however, am going to stick with what worked last season...

Driver - Taylor Made 510TP with DGS300 steel shaft at 43.5"
Hybrid - Nickent 3DX 17* with NV65 stiff shaft (this might not last...)
5-wood - The Magic 5-wood
Irons - 3-PW Cleveland TA3 Gunmetal, DGS300
Wedges - Cleveland CG10 Black Chrome 54* and 60*
Putter - A Chipshot Golf.com Rossie copy (this is probably safe now that Indio has bought Big Easy's Red X, which was very tempting... Thanks Indio! .

I should also mention that I did pick up a set of Japanese issue Mizuno S-30s yesterday so you never know...

Same model maybe, not the same putter.

[jeffc]

I have just added an Odyssey Black #2 to the mix.

I also added a 905R (Fuji Fit On) this winter and a new set of irons, MX23's (Nippon)late last fall along with a TM200 3 wood (Fuji Rombax).

I have options going into next year with putters, Drivers and 3-woods. I would like to say I am set but you never know!

Sure, now everyone is coming out of the woodwork claiming they have a 905R....where were you guys a few weeks ago when I was looking for a Titleist driver????
