I'll start.

Driver - Ping G25 8.5 Oban Kiyoshi Purple 55X
3 Wood - Ping Anser 14.5 Oban Kiyoshi Gold 65x
Hybrid - Ping Anser 20 Oban Kiyoshi Purple 105X
Irons - Ping S55 4-PW - SteelFiber 110x

Putter - Ping - forget what it's called!!!

Lol. Maybe you should call it Jordan?

[SGH]

No pics yet, but will get on that at some point:

Driver - 910 D3 with Aldila VooDoo S
3 wood - RBZ Stage 2 15* with stock stiff shaft
Hybrid - 19* RBZ with stock stick shaft
Irons - Callaway RAZR x-forged, with flighted PX 6.0's - these are the new addition for '14
Wedges - Taylormade TP Z 52, 56, 60
Putter(s) - rotate between: Scotty SD5, Scotty Kombi S, Scotty GoLo mid cut to 34", Taylormade Rossa Monte Carlo 7

I don't see many changes for the upcoming year. I'm bouncing around the idea of turning the GoLo into a counterbalanced experiment. Other than that, just looking forward to playing.

JV you still playing with the counterweights in your irons? I've done my entire set with the Tour Lock Pro's to get the swingweights down into a normal range and i'm in love with the difference in feel.

[RaggedyCoyot]

Alright, I may as well join the party...

Driver-RBZ Stage2 10.5
Wood-Cobra AMP Cell 15.5
Irons-McGregor Tourney 4-GW
56 degree SW.

Nope, not counterweighted any more. These irons are shafted with standard weight steel so the weight (total and swingweight) is normal.

[spackler]

Only thing new from last year is the driver, replacing a K15 I'd had in there for the past 3 seasons. I'm not the ho I used to be. Probably will get a new bag at some point though.

Ping G25 10.5* stock S
Ping G20 15* Xcaliber Tour R
Ping G10 18.5* stock R
Titleist 910H 21* (adjusted to 22.5*) Kai'li R
Ping Anser 5-PW PX 5.5
Ping Tour S 50* and 54* with KBS Tour S
Titleist Vokey 58* with an s200 (I'm guessing, 'wedge flex')
Scotty Golo 5

[SGH]

Dave - you're not going to splurge with the $10 USD you recently acquired and buy some new gear?

[spackler]

No, I'm afraid that after seeing Sammy in his 'pajamas', that money will be going straight towards therapy.

[SGH]

I definitely missed on the re-telling of this story, so I don't get the reference. However, I think you're probably right given the few details you've disclosed.

Wow rocking the CTapers in X, you must be in the gym!!

Knowing Geoff that configuration may not last until the snow melts.

I hit them in the sim at GT and a few times at GOM this winter and seemed to be getting my usual distances with tighter dispersion. Now actual ball flight outside may be a different story, but I'll have to wait until June or so to check. LOL

Question. Why are so many guys so brand loyal, I have a very mixed bag and don't change very much because of the level of comfort with most of my clubs, is it a consistency/feel thing from using the same brand across the board or is it more for aesthetics.

My bag:

K15 10.5 with some Aldila X stiff shaft
Burner 3 wd stock stiff shaft
MP67 irons with Rifle Satin Shafts
Vokey 52-56-60
Ping B60 Putter

Its a little of A and a little of B. Especially when it comes to wedges I want them all to be the same with same shafts and grips so they all look similar, and whether or not it is true, all play/feel similar.

[habsfan]

And never been a big fan of Nike Clubs and don't understand how they still make golf equipment as I never see anyone game Nike, but those VR Blades are f'in sweet.
