Take out the Vokey I got last summer and the Odyssey that was a going away gift from a previous employer, and there was ~ $90 dollars worth of gear in my bag (a Wilson from Value Village) today. I'm the kind of ho you see after hours on 16th during Stampede week.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

All I can say is God bless those folks that go through new gear faster than sh1t through a goose. They do a great service by allowing me to play around with really nice gear really cheap.
Off of Craigslist I picked up these for $10 a piece:

Here are a couple of SKB cases, the standard was $25 and the staff bag case was $40 (used only once!):

And finally my latest club bought used for $49 from Golfsmith. Probably only hit a dozen times.

So to all you big spenders out there, please keep spending the big bucks, I need a new set of G15's!

the "more money then brains" title would indicate that the guys buying new clubs are stupid...maybe they just love golf, have extra money and prefer to spend it on clubs...i have 2 clubs left in my bag from the begining of 09. does that mean i think the clubs make all the difference? no it means golf clubs are pretty sitting on the shelves, i like to buy new clubs because it makes me happy and because it is my hobby. it doesn't change my life, there is nothing i don't have that i would like to get because I bought new clubs again...maybe the title should have been just "more money". Just a thought.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
