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.

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.

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

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.

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....
