Driver: Adams Fast 12 LS, 8.5 degree stiff Fubuki. A great head, even set to 7.5 I've been able to hit it nice and high. Could use a new shaft, as I overpower the Fubuki a bit, but I believe this head will last me a couple years. Got it for half the price of a new driver when they released the speedline super LS. I'll be using this one to hit a bunch of 300 yarders this season, once our courses get some roll in the spring. Underrated head, IMO.

3W: 13.5 degree Mizuno MP650, stiff. A very anti left club, hard to get off the deck, still working on finding the right ball position and setup. But off the tee it's got a lot of speed and not too much spin, due to the titanium face. I don't see this replacing my driver on tight tee shots, but it's sure got the firepower to position me on a very difficult line to reach with my hybrid. And it's about as long off the deck as any club I could get on solid hits. Got it for similarly cheap as I did my others for the season. Needs a bit more shaft, especially in terms of weight.

Hybrid: 17 degree Adams super SS, stiff. A great club off the deck and very easy to hit off the tee. Picked it up as they released the new ones and got about half price. I need a bit more shaft to get the flight flattened, but it's pretty straight. Very forgiving, it's a great club for a stress free tee shot.

Irons: I've been accruing a set of Maltby TE irons with soft stepped X flex C tapers in them, and I look to finish my set with the 4, 6, and 8 irons this spring. They are about as good as money can buy, I can get plenty of height from the C tapers and they feel absolutely great. They also seem to keep the ball really straight, even though I feel I'm cutting the ball a lot I hit about a 2-5 yard pull fade with my 7 iron. Very consistent. Hard to tell how the ball will react on greens, but the height would seem to indicate I'll get plenty of check, even on my longer irons. I'll be looking to match the feel of my other clubs to these when I reshaft.

Ball: B330, I've switched from gamers this year and I like the performance around the greens. Haven't seen the flight on my long clubs yet, but I expect to be happy with them as long as I don't lose or shred too many. Perfect off the putter for me.

Hey guys, I know there's a few master threads already, but just wanting to know what everyone has in the bag for 2013...I know mine is in my sig but I'll type it out anyway:

I've been playing a Ping G5 driver (9°, regular flex) for the past few years. I thought that I would upgrade this winter, but as hard as it is to believe, I have won THREE drivers since last October.  First, I won a TaylorMade Burner SuperFast 2.0 (10.5°, regular flex) at a banquet as a door prize. Then I won a TaylorMade R11 (10.5°, regular flex) from a golf website contest. Finally, I won a TaylorMade RocketBallz (9.5°, stiff shaft) at the Pittsburgh Golf Show. When it rains, it pours! I will give each of them a try-out, and then probably give one of them to my golfing buddy who is also looking for a driver.

I actually have four complete sets of golf clubs in my repertoire. One that I use from April to October, and a second that I use from October to April. The other two sets I call "guest bags" for relatives who come into town and don't bring a set of clubs to play.  I do pull those sets out of the basement dungeon once or twice a year, just so they can see the light of day. The basic clubs that I use are in my signature.

I rotate four different putters in and out of the bag that I am using, (Ping B60 and Anser 2, Odyssey XG #9 and White Steel 2-Ball),  and this year I have gone back to a traditional right-hand low style after playing the last 15 years cross-handed (left-hand low). In addition, I put a jumbo putter grip on the Anser 2, and have been trying the "claw" grip, similar to what Phil Mickelson is currently using.  Maybe one day I'll figure it out.

Drivers: Bag 1 - TM R11 (10.5°); Bag 2 - Ping G5 (9°),
Fairway woods: #1 - TM RBZ Tour (14.5°) & TM System 2 Raylor (17°); #2 - TM Burner (15°) & TM V-Steel (18°)
Hybrid: #1 - TM Rocketballz (19°); #2 - Ping G5 (19°)
Irons: #1 - Ping i3+; #2 - Hogan Edge  (both 4-pw, +1" shaft)
Wedges: #1 - Ping i3+ U wedge (52°) & Ping Eye 2+ BeCu (60°); #2 - Ping ISI Sand BeCu (52°) & Cleveland CG11 lob (60°)
Putters: Ping B60i & Anser 2, Odyssey White Steel 2-Ball & White Hot XG #9, Lamkim Jumbp grips
Golf Balls: Titleist Pro V1, Bridgestone B330, Callaway SR1, Slazenger Grips: Lamkin Crossline
Golf Shoes: Footjoy & Adidas; Golf Glove: Footjoy StaSof®; Golf Bag: Ping Hoofer
I love this game! :-D

I like the AMP so far. I have 7 rounds with it this season, and am getting around the same distance as was with my 2.0 (maybe 5 yards less, both are 9.5*). However, I am a little more accurate with the AMP. I basically traded a little distance for a little accuracy. I have the stock stiff shaft in both clubs, 55g RIP in the AMP, REAX 4.8 in the 2.0. Compared to the AMP the 2.0 feels a little whippy. I think the 2.0 is an inch longer so that could be a factor. The AMP is adjuatable (closed, neutral, open) where the 2.0 is not. I set the AMP to closed which could be behind the increased accuaracy I have seen vs the 2.0. Hope this helped.

See my sig-same for last two years. I know-except for the hybrids it looks like it came from a bad garage sale. I might get a new wedge this year and may start out putting with an old Anser 2 I have been practicing with.

Also I am thinking my core less expensive ball this year might be the Titleist DT SOLO. At least I am gonna try a dozen to start and will continue to use Bridgestones and the occasional sleeve of PRO V1's for "serious" events--well as serious as I get anyway.

Also I guess outside the bag, but I really want to walk more and try some True or Ecco shoes this year.

    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
