For me it's been the Cleveland Halo 2i. I've never been able to hit fairway woods or long irons, these have taken both of those items out of my hands for the most part

My TaylorMade TP 19*. Love that thing. I've learned how to hit it off the tee and it is great from any lie...

Fairways and Greens.

definately the R7 425. First for whatever reason (more confidence at address or something) my drives went dramatically straight, I mean straight, compared to my old driver (R5 Draw bias)which goes either dead right or starts out straight then slices.

Then it came with the Hybrid Rescue Dual. What a club!!! This thing saves me on long par 3's and almost always my second shot club. It goes far and straight even on miss hits.

Scotty cameron newport beach. My drivers, irons, fairway woods, and just about everything come and go with technology, but I'll never get rid of my putter.

Definately my two wedges. The combination of spin-milled technology and a Pro-V1 makes a ball check up in a hurry.... and yes i have had them creep back on me from a strong chip. I just simply love Titleist clubs, great to look at and they always perform.

I still hit mine too high. I bought a 16 I'll try out after I stop liking the 585.H so much.

My favorite purchase is my Red X. It's one of the last clubs I actually purchased, too. Hmmm.

I made the switch from a 60 degree lob to a 58 degree early this year. Helped me out tremendously. But I'd have to say that my best purchase this year has been my r7 460. I'd lost all confidence in the driver, but now it's back, and I'm not afraid to use it when necessary. Sometimes even when I probably shouldn't

I really love my Callaway X Tour 58* wedge. The MD grooves and PM grind are great - love the spin and check I get with it.

I also really miss my old Mil Spec - still don't know why I sold it, can't wait for my new one to arrive from the custom shop.

Am currently bidding on a TeI3 Newport, but it doesn't end until next Wednesday: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...px?id=67428875

If I win it'll go in the cupboard until I can afford to send that one to Scotty to get restored :)

Have to go with my Titleist Vokey Spin Milled 56.10 sand wedge I picked up earlier this year. Love how it looks and has really given me more confidence in my short game. Like it so much I'll probably add the 60.04 to my bag as well.

My old cobra 7 wd. It saves my #*#*# from the rough or as a lay up club on par 5s and as my approach club on 415+ par fours. I trust it more than any club in the bag.

    • Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver. 
    • Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…
    • OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
    • Some thoughts after the 1st 9 holes of the year. The driver was pretty good, nothing crazy. My miss seems to be just a push. The start line is a bit too far right for my taste, but they are drawing back at least. Hitting middle-ish of the face to slightly toe. Part of the right miss is a bit of open face and off the toe slightly.  Irons, some really good strikes, others were not so good. I am feeling a few things, when I am being mindful of the swing I made.  1) Got to get the pause down again, and keep things shorter (as usual). One of the best iron shots was when I tried to mimic Rahm's swing length, lol. I caught a flier and hit an 8-iron like 190 yards into an area of no return for that golf ball. The swing felt great 😉  2) I got to stay taller in transition, feel like I gain tons of space between my hands and my chest. The bad swing is the old swing, bad right elbow, tilt to lower the club. This was too much shallowing, and hitting the ball fat. I just think of it this way, you are bent over, and you can reach the ball at address. So, you can reach the ball at impact by getting your hands down.  3) The final thing is the timing. It might take some time to get some flow into the swing. Timing up hands down and the turn is a bit off. Focusing on the hands down kind of stalls everything for me, at least it feels like my hips do not turn. I end up hitting a decent strike, just feels meh athletically, lol.  Short game was Ok, which means pretty good for not practicing it. Not short, but not round destroying.  Putting, doing much better now that I quickened up my routine. Line up, looking at my target. Glance down at the ball to get into my stance. Glance up at my target spot again, then hit the ball with in like 1-2 seconds after looking back down at the ball. Trying not to get to static over the ball while putting.   
    • Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.
