Post your season starting line-up

[1972Apex]

Well... it's almost Spring. I would guess most OGers are like me at this time of year. I've been spending the past few weeks picking up some addtions to the bag (well, in my case bags... ), doing some tweaking and hitting the dome occassionally to try out new sticks.
Let's see what's going to be in everyone's bags to start the season. I'll start. This is what I will be hitting the courses with to start the year:

The '08 be all end all bag... This is my main bag used for weekends and serious rounds.

Driver - Taylor Made R510TP, DGS300, 43.5"
3-wood - Callaway 07 Big Bertha 16*, Uniflex steel shaft
Fairway wood - The Magic 5-wood (an old 200cc Acer Warbird copy that I've had forever)
Irons - 3-PW Cleveland TA3 GunMetal DGS300 shafts
Wedges - Cleveland CG10 Black Chrome 54* and 60*
Putter - Scotty Cameron Studio Design 1, 35".
Tour Edge Cooler Cart bag

The trunk bag... this one stays in the car for after work range sessions and practice rounds.

Driver - Big Bang 450cc, Fuji VP90 stiff shaft 44" (or a test driver if I happen to have a new challenger for the A bag)
3-wood - whatever I am testing out that particular day LOL!
5-wood - The Magic 5 wood (yes I have two of them, in fact I have a third in my basement in case I ever break or lose one...)
3-PW - Cleveland TA3 Chrome, DGS300 (same as the Gunmetals, but chrome and well played)
Wedges - Cleveland 588 Diadic 53*, Cleveland 900 Low Bounce 60*, both with Cleveland wedge shafts
Putter - whatever backup or new putter I choose to toss in the bag that week
Bag - Bennington Daytripper stand bag

[jvincent]

I can't wait to see the disclaimer Geoff posts with his setup.

For me:

Driver: Wishon 525 11*: Saber 75
4 wood: Wishon 949MC 17*: Saber 75
Hybrids: Wishon 785HF #3 and #4: ProjectX 5.0
Irons: Wishon 550M #5 -> PW: ProjectX 5.5
Wedges: Wishon CX Micro 52, 56, 60: ProjectX5.5
Putter: Hogan-Bettinardi BHB5

For backup I'll be carrying around a Wishon 915CFE driver and a 785HF #2 hybrid in the trunk.

[mpare]

Mine is pretty much the same as last year and for many years before that.

Titleist 983K (10.5) driver
Titleist 985F (13) 3 wood
2, 3, 4 Hogan Hybrids
Wilson Staff FG-51 blades
48 and 52 Callaway wedges
60 Titleist wedge
Callaway blade or Hogan Baby Ben putter
Titleist Pro VI or TaylorMade TP Black

The specs are a mystery to me, although after more than 20 years of banging these blades, I will have their loft and lies checked. It's time.

[spackler]

Nike Sumo 10.5* (07) with a 65g V2 in reg flex
Taylormade R7 TP 17.5* with a Fuji Vista Pro 80 in reg (my first DIY reshaft )
Sonartec MD 19* with a UST Irod in reg
TaylorMade Rescue Mid 25* with a stock graphite shaft in reg
Mizuno MX-25 5-GW with DGSL R300s +1/2"
Mizuno MP-R 56* and 60*
Not sure at putter, but probably a Mil Spec, maybe a Mills Softtail

I think that will be my main set up, but I have a few options depending on how things are going. I've been working on hitting my fairway woods better this offseason, so I may throw a Mizuno F-50 3 and 5 wood in there. I also have a 22* Rescue Mid that I may sub in too. I'm looking for some iron shafts that are slightly stiffer as well, Rifle 5.0s or similar.

Pretty happy with all my clubs, just need to find the right set-up.

[Turd Ferguson]

Here's the line-up....
Cleveland XLS 9.5 Tour

[Big Johnny69]

Are you as devoted to Titleist as you were to Bridgestone?

For now, yes. In case anyone missed it, I did play the Bridgestone stuff all the way into August last year. That's quite impressive for me.

[mpare]

Good luck with the new sticks.

For now, yes. In case anyone missed it, I did play the Bridgestone stuff all the way into August last year. That's quite impressive for me.

[Paulio]

How long did you have your Adams stuff??

[Big Johnny69]

How long did you have your Adams stuff??

Most of the winter. But I sold/traded it to pay for a much more important purchase.

I'm sure if I got a chance to play them they would still be around. Those were some sweet sticks.

[Paulio]

Most of the winter. But I sold/traded it to pay for a much more important purchase.

Yes, I am sure your future wife would say the same.

[hoolio]

Unlike Geoff, I'll put a disclaimer that I have no idea what will be in the bag at the start of the year. Currently this is what I'm thinking.

TM R510 TP 8.5* w/ Mitsubishi Rayon (TP)
Titleist 585H 19* (shaft TBD)
TM 300 Forged 3-PW (X100's or Black Gold X)
TM Black TP Wedges - 52*, 56*, 60*
Cleveland TA Milled (#3)
ClicGear Cart
OGIO Exodus Cart Bag (if I can locate one)

I'm very open to spending putting a ding in my Savings account if I can find something else that tickles me right though.

[Nat Williams]

Ping G5, 9.5 Stiff Fuji Rombax Shaft
Titleist 904F 3W, Stiff Steel Shaft
Nike Pro Combo 2i, Stiff Steel Shaft
Titleist 731PM 3, 5-PW, Accra 5.5 Steel Shafts
Vokey 50*
Vokey SM 54*
Vokey SM 60*
Scotty Newport 2.5

Only changes that happen from time to time is removing the 2i to make room for the 4i, and replacing the 3W w/ a Cobra 4W, but it's course dependant.

No clubs purchases anticipated for the new season ... and if that holds true I will have gone 3yrs w/ only a driver and wedge change

[Indio]

My entire bag is up in the air (including the bag). Just bought a set of Nike's from Hacker but that doesn't mean they will start the season. Also have TM's and Callaways to make a decision on.

I don't even know which Scotty I will use this year, the Red X or the SD5

The Only thing for sure is my old trusty R7... I'm even thinking of dumping all my callaway Stealhead II F/W woods (3,5,7 & 9) possibly for hybrids

I just haven't made up my mind yet
