Now I know you play what works for you, and this set up and the alternates work for me. Just curious as to what ya'll think. Would you recommend any alternatives or change anything to make it even better.

Driver: Taylormade R11 9 degree stock shaft stiff flex. Set to promote a draw

3wood: Taylormade Burner Superfast 2.0 , stock shaft

5 wood: Taylormade R11s set to promote a draw

Hybrid: Taylormade Burner 19 degree

Hybrid: Taylormade Raylor  22 degree

irons: Taylormade Burner 2.0 6-pw

Wedges: Cleveland CG16's 48, 56 degree

Calloway Warbird 52 degree ( want to replace it with another Cleveland once I get some more funds)

Putter: Taylormade Ghost Spider

Alternates that I add in depending on the course.

Hybrids: Adams tight lies:  16 degree (hit is nice but only from the fairway ,where the TM's I can get out of rough too)

Nickent 6DT : 3h (19 degree) 4h (22 degree) use them sometimes but like the adams can not get them out of the rough.

Wedges: Maxfli C3 56 and 60 degree with different bounce on the 56 than the cleveland.

3wood: Tayormade r5 with a smaller head than the Superfast and can hit it better some days.

Seems pretty standard to me. No 5 iron, but you have a 5w and a 3h? Unless you hit them much differently, I'd set the 5w to around 19˚ and give the 19˚ 3h the boot, or vice versa. You could add in another hybrid or iron, though it probably isn't a common yardage. Maybe add a LW if you actually make use of it. Not a fan of the burner irons in general, but it seems like you fill every basic need.

I carried the 5 iron and never used it. I have the 5 wood adjusted down in loft from its 18 degree stock setting. I do have a gap in loft from the Raylor to 6 iron but found this is not an issue on just about every hole. As long as I can get to the 170-150 range from the tee on most par 4's or second shot on par 5's I can reach with the 6 iron on down. But the set up is geared towards my home course and does changed based on the length or conditions of the course. More green side bunkers and add in the lob wedge etc. Thanks for the feed back.

    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
