Ping G15 9 degree with an April’s Serrano R shaft

Taylormade RBZ 3hl fairway wood

Callaway Epic Flash 7 wood adjusted to 20 degrees

Callaway Big Bertha 4i Hybrid adjusted to 23 degrees

Taylormade Tour Preferred CB 5-AW

Cleveland 588 Gunmetal 56 and 60 wedges

Vons SS398 putter at 32 inches (anser style)

 

considering a driver change.  The rest is pretty set.  Debating adding a 5 hybrid and dropping the 5 iron.  But, hitting it to 8 ft today on a par three may end that debate.  Yeah, I sunk the birdie putt.  

Also debating a midsize putter grip too.

I am a single digit handicap getting back into the game after a hiatus.

thoughts?

Being a single digit handicapper it looks and sounds like you know what u need in the bag to play to your game.

If u add a 5h make sure it's adjustable since it might go too far and clutter the top end of the bag.  Midsize putter grip won't hurt you either, just don't go crazy.

I regripped my putter with a Scotty Cameron Matador midsize grip.  I tested three drivers.  Taylormade M6, Ping G410 and Calloway Epic Flash.  Also hit my current driver.  Turns out my Ping G15 was as long as the longest of the three - the M6. No compelling need to change.  May look at new wedges.

Difficult to see many changes needed to that set.  Try out the 5 hybrid against the 5 iron at Club Champion and pick according to your needs.  I guess the criteria would be accuracy, distance and forgiveness.

Not to nitpick, but was the 5 iron you hit today a normal shot or one of those freakishly good shots that comes along once in a round.  I only ask because I have pulled my 3 and 4 irons out of the bag and replaced it with a 4 hybrid.  As I age and play less golf, I struggle to get the clubhead speed necessary to hit lower lofted irons easily 😢

What's in the bag

  • Taylor Made r5 dual Draw 9.5* (stiff)
  • Cobra Baffler 4H (stiff)
  • Taylor Made RAC OS 6-9,P,S (regular)
  • Golden Bear LD5.0 60* (regular)
  • Aidia Z-009 Putter
  • Inesis Tour 900 golf ball

I am pretty consistent with my 5 iron.  But, looking for a little more height for approaches to an elevated green.

Took the new driver and 5i hybrid on the course today.  Bought a Callaway Epic Flash 10.5 with Project X evenflow 55 shaft and a Callaway Big Bertha 5i hybrid.  Both performed well.  Driver was long with improved trajectory and ball flight.  The 5i hybrid went straight with high trajectory and good distance.  Both are excellent upgrades.

917 12 degree driver

917 16.5 degree 4 wood

3-pw Nike forged blades (the old ones)

56 and 60 degree texan wedges

Sam Snead double sided putter.

Learn to hit long irons within a couple of yards. It will pay off.....I think

I've always liked Cobra hybrids and fairway woods.

The Cleveland RTX4 wedges are amazing.  Swapped out the 588 gun metal 56 and 60 for a 56 10 mid and 60 low.

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
