WITB and Off Season Pick Ups

[Big Johnny69]

LOL! Just be thankful I'm not moving the Gunmetals

Yeah, those would be about the only set I'd consider. Those are some sweet irons indeed. Glad you like them.

[Hacker]

I have a set of Taylor Made TP RAC Combos in the back-up bag.

In terms of the gamer bag I've added a #2, a #3 and a #4 Nickent hybrid. Switched from a TM R7 to a Nike Sq driver, demoted the Cleveland Comp fairway woods to the back-up bag in favour of Nike Sq 4 wood, replaced my callaway x-forged wedges with titleist spin mills and rotate through my 9 Scotty putters..........

Other than that I'm pretty stable

[Section Thirty One]

I'm cleaning house now that my season is more or less over.

The players clubs are out of the bag now that my game is in such sorry shape, and i'll be going game improvement next year. Looking for a set of Rapture or G5 irons, Rapture driver and a yet to be determined 3 wood.

I'm keeping the Spin Milleds and Redwood putter. I also have a secret shaft in store for my new 3-wood. It's the ULTIMATE in bling. Chris St. M has seen it before, as he pulled it from a club before I sold it.

I like the cut of your jib! That's a great setup to start next season, just don't let those clevelands infect your other great clubs. To be safe, get the Spin Milled. take that D1 and have a sweet shaft installed, she'll be long!

I went from titleist...to Cleveland now back to titleist!

[brucestats]

Want to pick up the brand new yonex nanospeed i driver, winner of the best new product award at the european golf awards earlier this month in munich. Shipping in january in north america

Already play the yonex nanospeed, and it is fabulous.

[Big Johnny69]

To recap, bag at the beginning of the year looked like this:

Driver: Bstone J33R 460 10.5 w/ SK Fiber Pure Energy
Fwy Wd: Bstone J33 15* and 18* w/ Matrix Orange Crush
Irons: Bstone J33 Combos w/ TT BG
Wedges: Bstone J33 Black Satin 54 and 58
Putter: Nickent Pipe
Bag: Bstone Carry Bag


I won't even get into the inbetweens, but not nearly as long of a list as the last couple of years. I actually made it through most of the year with one set with the only real changes coming with shafts.

What the bag looks like now:

Driver: Cobra Speed Pro D 10.5 w/ Proto By You (might swap the shaftdepending on performance, perhaps a Grafalloy Axis?)
Fwy Wd: Adams BTY 14.5 w/ PL Red (swapping for a Purple Ice)
Hybrid: Adams Idea Pro 18* w/ Proto By You
Irons: Adams Pro Forged 4-PW w/ TT BG
Wedges: Adams Pro Forged GW, SW, LW w/ TT BG
Putter: Guerin Rife Two Bar Blade
Bag: Adams Thunder


I've got some extras kicking around and some deals in the making, but I don't feel like publishing those right now.

[spackler]

You go right ahead, and I will make it my mission to keep them much longer than any guess anyone would have..... Like I said, my favourite irons of all time. I never should've gotten rid of my other ones. These are in the bag until at least next season.

[Big Johnny69]

Did I say they were gone??? I could have back ups. Everyone is so quick to judge.

[sillywilly]

I wouldn't mind picking up a driver for myself. Haven't had one in two years (a few rounds here and there I had) but I think I'm ready. Got shaft tested and good to go. I think I'm going to go with KZG. They are dirt cheap. HOpefully I can find one with the shaft I want and then just it tipped to whatever I need it to be tipped to. Save myself a ton of cash

[leftylucas]

I have KZG irons and they are top quality and perform as well as any OEM irons I have owned. I heard good things about their drivers. Sounds like a great plan. If I am not mistaken I think their drivers have to be installed by one of their approved dealers, Artidan does it.

[jvincent]

New KZG clubs can only be purchased from an authorized fitter but I imagine they can be picked up on eBay.

That's what I was going to reply as well.

Yes, don will be doing my driver for me I was just thinking of either going with a Gemini head off ebay or going with the Gemini II head from him. I'm torn...

[Golfbum]

No major changes for the clubs in my bag during the winter. I like to try before I buy. Now I have been known to go to a certain golf store and hit balls in the dead of winter off the outdoor mats, so you never know

Really the only change I want to make is in the driver department. That can wait until spring when I can get together with the Pro at the course and have him put me on the computer. If I am buying a new one I want to try to get it right the first time around.

I do have my eye on a new Srixon wedge, but I need to have one ordered in with a higher bounce to play out of the soft sand. So again that can wait.

From now until spring I touch and feel but rarely buy equipment. Lord knows I do not need hats etc, I have about 50 of them now My wife has also informed me that I do not need any new golf shirts. I can abide by that ruling too, since I just bagged up 30 for storage and still have 10 in the closet

A good deal on some shoes might tempt me.

[jeffc]

let's see:

added a TM 200 3 wood. Also reshafted my 425 TP with an Aldila Proto. Oh, and I changed my irons to Mizuno MX23's with Nippon shafts. Looking to add a new putter as well.

You haven't updated your WITB icon though.

[jeffc]

I figured I would update it when I am done....but then again, I will never actually be done.

Are any of us?

[davevandyk]

Are any of us?

me!! I will have the full stable either done or at my clubfitter tomorrow at 11ish. The bag will set-up like this:

Cally FT-5 w Accra SC65 M4 untipped
B'stone J33 15* w Accra SC75 M4
B'stone Airmuscle 18* w Accra Tour HF M4
B'stone Airmuscle 21* w Accra Tour HF M4
B'stone J33B's 4-pw w DG Black Gold Stiff
Cally X-tour 53* w Spinner 5.5
Titty SM 57* w Spinner 5.5
Cally X-tour 61* w Spinner 5.5
Scotty Cammy SS Newport 2/ SS Newport 2 "beach"

I am actually shocked that 8 of my clubs were in the bag starting the year (3wood and irons)!!

[leftylucas]

Well here is my confessional:

Driver: The TP460 is gone and the Launcher Ti is in tryouts right now. In the bullpen is the Alpha C830.2 and of course with the following shaft options; Accuflex VS339, UST V2, Grafalloy Proto.

Irons:The KZG forged CBII will stay in the bag after an impressive start late in the season. I will bring the full arsenal to Don at Artisan for him to tweek then its off to Pinehurst for the true test in March.

Putter:Undecided on putters right now, Yes Marylin or TM Turismo AGSI attempting to knock the 2 bar out of the bag. Heck, the only thing left in the bag from this past season will be the TM Rescue Mids, they are too sweet to tinker with.

[Golfbum]

I just got home from FGO and now have two new wedges in the bag. Srixon WG-706, a 52 and 56 degree. Sweet looking wedges and they feel great.

I saved my wife a trip to the store to buy my Christmas gifts

[seekay]

since the season ended...i have gotten:

TaylorMade R5 driver + 5 wood
Ping G5 22* Hybrid
Callaway X-Tour Wedges 52*, 58*
Ping G5i Zing Putter

i think i'm done...my set is complete...for now

[hoolio]

I don't really have any need for new clubs, doesn't mean I won't buy something if a good deal comes my way, but as of now there is no plan.

I am however planning on picking up a couple pairs of FJ Reelfits, and I was having trouble coming up with gifts I wanted for Xmas, so I asked for a Clicgear 3 wheel cart to replace my current one. Nothing really wrong with the current one, except that it's a little short for me and I feel like I'm always bent over pushing it.

[Gropper]

Well the saga continues.....


New are a Nike Sumo Hybrid 18*
for Kicks a Nike Sumo2 10.5*
And as of today a Scotty Cameron TeI3 Newport from my new best friend Spackler!

[davevandyk]

i need to confess, i did add something to the aforementioned bag above... the woman decided to Christmas, since i will be goin to Australia in February that i need a Scotty "Maple Leaf" headcover, so that's my xmas present!!!!!

[spackler]

And as of today a Scotty Cameron TeI3 Newport from my new best friend Spackler!

A real friend wouldn't have let me sell that one!

[Gropper]

A real friend wouldn't have let me sell that one!

I said NEW.....i'm there for your next time!

[Sakuraba]

I don't think I changed anything this season, other than early in the year. I'll probably do some ebay-ing after christmas. Oh: almost forgot, I reclaimed my pride from hoolio's over-stuffed staff bag (no wonder he's going through 3-wheelers & shoes pushing that monster around)
Thinking about a d2 and some titleist fairways once the newer models are out.
