Hello all, Thought I would let you know I've completed my bag/equipment etc... for the season. I've been to the driving range for a few times in last few weeks and finally getting my swing back after absence from the game for a few years. Anyways, how did I do? Driver: Square Two Pilot 10* 460cc Reg Flex 7 Wood: Square Two Pilot Reg Flex Hybrid: Square Two Pilot Reg Flex Iron set: 2-PW, My step-dad's old spalding elite tour balancing system medium flex 94 ish, which I also had regripped with new velvet grips(medallist brand) he does not play anymore so I am going to put them in action again. Putter: Pal Joey, Ping look - a - like Bag: Burton Viper stand bag Balls: Taylormade Burner TP Tees: zero friction shoes: footjoy superlites white/black I'm pretty sure I don't need anything else to actually play on courses again, but if you all can think of anything small let me know thanks. Kyle.

In My Burton Viper Stand Bag :

Eye Black Dot Irons 3-PW / R7 Quad 10.5 Degrees / Square Two Pilot 7 Wood 21 Degrees / Square Two Pilot 4 Hybrid 23 Degrees / XK Hale Irwin Series Blade SW 58 Degree / Rossa Lambeau 7 CGB Putter

Back Up Set - Elite (Tour Balancing System) 2-SW / Shoes - Superlites

What do you have for wedges besides the PW?  What is the loft on the PW?  You have 13 clubs listed, so even if you keep all of them, you can add one more for the 14 club limit.

Also, you may decide to remove the 2 and 3 irons for another hybrid or wood (don't know the lofts of your listed woods), so you could add a couple of wedges to round out the club set.

Getting a sand wedge and or gap wedge may be a good idea for greenside chipping, flops, tight lies when caught short-sided, etc.

A sand wedge would be a good addition. Don't worry about going over the 14 club limit unless you're playing for money, but also don't think you "have to" take them all with you every time.

With the SW, your set-up should be good.  After a few rounds, you will know better if you need to tweak some more (replace the harder to hit long irons with another hybrid).

Man, those irons have that old school look - good luck with them.

Sean,  add this logo to your list:

Yep, after about 5 buckets at the range I can strike them well if I don't slice it lol, they feel really good for such an old iron, are these the cream of the crop for spalding back in the day?

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers. 
    • I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
