Whats in the golf bag: 2016 Edition

Anybody making changes yet in preparation to make 2016 a successful year winning many bragging rights and skins off the baws?
I've made a couple tweaks at 3 wood and with the flat stick already.
Driver - Mizuno JPX 850 Driver Motore Speeder 6.3 TS Stiff Shaft. Its long. Demoed a 915 D3 with a the Aldila Rogue 70 last year that was longer but this was half the price.
3 Wood - Callaway XR 3 Deep 14 degree Projext X LZ Red 70 6.0 Stiff Shaft. Ordered on Callaway preowned on sale to get something I might hit lower and draw more easily than my 14 degree SLDR S Minidriver. Still have the Mini as a fail safe
Utility Iron - 18 degree Mizuno T Zoid Fli Hi. Should eventually replace with something like a MP H5 2 iron. Thing is old.
Irons - Mizuno MP H4 4-PW KBS Stiff C Taper Lite. Forgiving and feel like butter. Staying for years.
Wedges - Mizuno JPX 50 Callaway Mack Daddy 2 56 and 60. Great wedges. MD2 grooves bring lots of spin. Have the U grind on the lob. Its really versatile.
Putter - Taylormade Ghost TM 880 Heel shafted mallet. Superstroke 1.0 grip. Always prefer this type of putter. THis has a 3 line alignment compared to the one on the odysessy Ive been using and the 1.0 is a smaller grip than Ive played lately. Have an old cleveland heel shafted blade and a TM center shafted mallet as back ups.
Got a nice 14 way sun mountain stand bag last year Im using.

Got the new vapor flys on the way.
Will be selling my vapor pros soon. Only been used about 50 times if someone is in the market.

Nice lineup - I'll get a picture of my setup tomorrow - no major changes for 2016.
I may get a Vokey wedge to replace my set PW.
He is an older pic - nothing has changed yet:

This club is pretty much making my SLDR driver a dust collector.

Same thing that was in there in 2011

I think everybody should post their handicap as well as what's in the bag.
Ping G30 driver
Old taylormade 3 wood and 3 hybrid that I need to change the grips on
Mizuno MP4 irons- +1" 2° upright with Project X 6.0 shafts (the star of the bag. They are beautiful)
Some old callaway jaws 56° and 60° wedges. Pretty sure the grooves are illegal now
Some kind of odyssey putter
11.1 handicap but I play like a 15. Irons are above my skill level but they are so pretty

Everyone should also post their shoe size, how much they bench, pic of wife, and address.

My handicap is off as well. 9.8 but play like a 12-14. If it's a course I'm used to, low 80s. Played Carter Plantation for the first time recently and shot low 90s.

Nice Betti! Bettis are the best.

I bought a new Adams 6 hybrid to go with my 3,4,5. I'm now more deadly from 150/185 than I am from 100/145 . Crazy but true. Shot 78 today in the mud at Copper Mill. Love those hybrids. Only pride getting in my from getting them all....
