Do you have it yet? If so how is it? It looks to me like it's a bit lighter, has a more up-to-date interface and you can use it for speed training now. 

To answer the original question, the most recent thing is some RCT balls, but that's not particularly interesting. I got myself a Mevo+ in the thanksgiving sale. If I had pulled the trigger already it would have been an exputt RG. Still not 100% sold on it.

I haven't sent my Quad back in yet. Monday.

I know little to nothing about golf equipment, but my uncle recently purchased a new golf bag that I really liked so I ended up picking up a similar one and it just arrived. It's pretty lightweight, has 14 slots which I specifically wanted and looks nice. It's the Ask Echo Lightweight Golf Stand Bag.

I am curious though, I was specifically looking for a bag that had the 14 slots but with the T-lock and iron separator slots (not sure what they're called). However I was only able to find this style on cart bags and not a single one for a carry bag. Wondering why this might be?

I grabbed a bag on Amazon specifically for the cart. Saint Andrew’s collection. And I have another cart only. But it’s not new. Then three carry/ stand bags. Two of  those are outfitted with clubs and balls so I can grab and go depending on weather. The saint Sndrews bag has all my cherished golf  possessions. Yeah I had some time on my hands to attain what I have.

Forgive my lack of knowledge, what are the differences in your clubs you choose based on the weather? Or were you referring to the bag specifically? Water proof bag vs. non?

Shoes and balls to get ready for the year. It snowed two days later. Message received.

Last week I received my new driver after a fitting the week before. Callaway AI Smoke. I have yet to play it though.

I basically. Matched the clubs to the bag to the outing. If that makes sense. I have a set for a scruffy bag for winter golf. And then two relatively good set of clubs to totally acceptable bags for my week or day to day play and finally a really good set brand new for my tournament play.  Which generally means a private course with all the amenities. 

As for weather. I play regardless as long as the temps are over for fifty

Ok I see, thanks for explaining. Does switching to different clubs every so often tend to change your performance?

I dunno. This is the first year I’m trying it. lol. I use mostly cobra and my daily clubs are Tommy armor.  And some pretty good purchases of Taylor made for my 3,5,and hybrids. What is listed as my signature are my tournament clubs. I had the winter bag out but only made it to the simulator with that bag. Now that the full membership is paid I have switched that bag with an everyday bag cobra max set with a mallet putter. No big name putters for me but all mallets.

Picked up a replacement stock shaft for my G400 driver, an Aldila XTorsion in R flex.  Really like it - as the Alta CB seemed almost too whippy.  Some say the XTorsion is too board like, doesn’t seem that way so far.

I also build my own clubs and regrip them. So the feel is pretty consistent

Bought a new driver headcover and a Rhoback crew neck from the golf podcast No Laying Up a few weeks ago and just ordered the FS-01 Members Only shoe/gift set last night.

I am a coach/instructor/teacher, so while there will be fun ahead… it's mostly for work. Which can be fun, too. 😄

I'll likely bring it with me to Ohio. But also… you'll see it here when you visit for a lesson. And… this ends Friday:
