I'm not sure how I ended up playing with the following clubs but I haven't changed it for about 3 years.

Woods

1w,3w,5w,7w,9w,11w,13w,15w,

Hybrids

#7,#8,#9

Wedges

56,60

Yes I do play a 13 and a 15 wood as well as the short iron hybrids.I did not set out to eliminate all of my irons

except for the wedges it just kind of happened and I am very happy with my set. The high lofted fairway woods (11,13,15) are my favorite clubs to hit.

Does anyone else play with a lot of woods in their bag?

A few years ago I used to play with all irons.  I didn't even carry a driver.  For the past few years I carried a driver and the rest were iron.  i would experiment with hybrids but never hit them well.  I recently added a 3 wood to the bag and I hit it O.K. but I only use it about once a round.

What are the lofts of your woods and hybrids?  I haven't seen woods or hybrids that high ever.

I will have to answer that when I get home from work.I don't remember all of them and will have to look.There are a lot of people that don't know about these clubs and you won't find them at your local pro shop or Wal-mart.I build my own clubs and found them on different component sites.The good thing about components is that there is so many more clubs to choose from rather than the traditional set.Its been a lot of fun for me!!

If you don't mind when you post the lofts could you also post your distances for your clubs, wedges included?  Thanks

I played in a scramble the other day, and I think the guy that I played with has this exact set up.  I don't think I ever saw him swing a club that didn't have a huge backing on it.  Whether we were 250 out or 50 out.

I am about the exact opposite of you.  I have a Driver, no fairway woods, and 3-PW, 52*, 56*, 60*.  I haven't tried hybrids too much but I love irons, and really hate irons that have large cavity backs.

I play with up to a 9 wood right now.

I also have 11,13, and 15 woods that aren't in the bag right now.

I really want to be a better iron player and get the woods out of my bag.

I start to question myself on this, however.

If I hit a 13 wood (7 iron), 150-160 everytime, why even have a 7 iron?

I get a lot of crap from EVERYONE I have played with, even for having a 7 wood (my 190-200 club).

It's a constant internal battle.....

In the Puma Orange Formation Stand Bag:

Driver: TaylorMade RBZ (10.25)

Fairway Woods: Callaway Diablo Octane (3,5,7,9)

Irons: Mizuno JPX 800 Pro (6-PW) 

Wedges: Mizuno JPX (50, 55, & 60)

Putter: Odyssey Versa #1

Ball: Titleist DT Solo

I play 1,3,5 woods 2 to 5 hybrid and 6 to SW GBGold irons. Works for me. I have a 7 wood part of a set not in the bag along with the other two short shaft 3,5 small head woods. They are almost hybrids (I have them for sale on ebay). And I have 3,4, and 5 long irons on standby as well. I hit the fiver pretty good, but it is out so I can stay at 14 clubs.

In my  bag:

Driver, Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 9.5 stiff

3, 5 woods: Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 15,18 degrees Stiff

2 hybrid: Callaway Diable Edge Tour 18 degrees R (out when the 5 wood is in)

3,6 hybrids: Callaway Diablo Edge 21 S and 30 degrees R

4,5 hybrids: Callaway Razr X HL 24 and 27 degrees Stiff

7-AW irons: Callaway Razr HL graphite R shafts 

SW 54 Callaway X Series Jaws CC Slate Fujikura Graphite Stiff

Putter: Odessey White Ice 1 Blade Putter. 

Ball...looking for any ball that hates water, sand, long grass, and getting lost in the woods. 

I can't find any, so forced to use ones that seem to love all the above.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.
