PGA show next week which means many of the big manufacturers have had their major releases. Callaway with the Epic Flash and Apex refresh... Taylormade with the M5 and M6. Titleist was earlier with the T2 and T3. Srixon updated their irons and drivers in the middle of last year, and lots more.

Hopefully, the weather starts to cooperate a little and we all can start testing these things outdoors. I feel good about my driver and irons and putter. But I need to figure out what to do with my wedges and woods going forward.

My current bag:

Driver:
Rogue SZ 9* w/ Handcrafted EvenFlow Blue 75G 6.0 tipped 1"

3W: Rogue SZ 15* same shaft as above but 85G

3H: TM M2 19* w/ stock shaft stiff

3i-PW: Miura CB57 w/ Nippon Modus3 Tour120 Stiff and UTX Lamkin grips

50*/54*/60*: Callaway MD4 w/ DG Tour S200

Putter: 34" Bettinardi BB0 DASS w/ FitFace and 4* loft

Ball: Bridgestone TourB X


I realize this is one club extra. Depending on the course and conditions, I'll pull my 3W, 3H, or 3i. Or if I feel like I need all 3, I'll pull the 50* and 54* for a 52*. But I rarely do that because I use my 54* more than any other club besides the putter.

I’ve got a pretty shitbag right now. Just started playing again last fall, probably 15 rounds since then, but I forgot how much I love this game. Gonna join my local course when it warms now that I’ve got a group to play with.

Picked an Epic up on sale last fall that I love. Sticking with Odyssey blade putter since I’m pretty good with it.

About to buy a rogue 3w and 5w, get fitted for new irons (really liking what I’ve read about the i210s, and the 919F, but open to what’s best), and gonna finish with RTX4s. I’ve hit the woods and wedges. Last round I played was an 84, but if I clean up the short game my scores will improve. The touch shots have been the hardest to get back.

I built them to my current specs. I haven't had them long, but will get them adjusted once I've played 10-20 rounds.

My short length driver worked so well that I am buying a used F8 Tour Length off Golfwrx classifieds to build to 44/44.5 or so. Pretty excited about this build.

I just got fully fitted so no more blaming the arrows...it's all on me now.

Driver- Callaway Rogue 9° SZ Graphie Design Tour AD-BB6X

3w- Callaway Rogue 13.5° Graphite Design Tour AD-BB7X

17, 21, & 25° Hybrids(adjusted the 19 & 23 up 2° for gaps) Titleist 818 HL2 KBS Tour Hybrid stiff

5-pw-Taylor Made P790(black finish) Project X 6.0 120g

50, 54, & 58°- Titleist Vokey SM7

Putter- 35" Scotty Cameron Newport 2.5 4.5° loft

I'll drop the 58 if I want to carry the 25° hybrid and my 5 iron at the same time.

Interesting. I'd be lost without a 58*.

I've been lost as hell the past few months, because I cant hit a 58 out of the slop with any consistency.

As if the slop isn't tough enough, I start thinking about my failure before I even fail.
