Been playing with a costco set for years but just bought all new clubs and getting more serious about golfing my bag now looks like. Bag boy bag Taylormade tour preferred cavity back 4-aw set + the tour preferred 56* and *60 wedges. Callaway diablo octane 9.5* Callaway x hot pro tour 13.5* wood Callaway x hot pro 16* hybrid Adams speedline lp 20* wood Odyssey tank 2-ball versa I've never actually kept track enough to get a handicap but I will this summer and hope to improve it a good amount.

Ah, I was watching Mark Crossfields review of the CB irons this morning and was intrigued by the short irons not being cavity backs. Is that right? If so, does that mean they are forged irons (the short irons) and if they are how do you find them? Regards Mailman

Sort of.. the 3-7 are cavity backs with polymer. The 8-AW have the same style head without the polymer insert. I believe they have a cast head welded to a forged face. The 56 and 60 tour preffered are just s one pieve design.

Nice bag full of clubs you have there.

But I'm not really picky about the ball I use.

I'm not on the PGA tour lol

Tour or not, if you are planning on setting a handicap no score will be valid with more than 14 clubs. However, you might find that you don't need one of them after playing a bit to get the feel for the gaps between clubs anyway. Definitely a nice looking bag and clubs though, grats on the purchase and hope they play well for you.

KICK THE FLIP!!

FWIW:

I sometimes carry up to 16 clubs. No big deal, right?

If I was to play in some kind of official tournament I'll eliminate one or two clubs and get compliant.

.

Driver

3 wood

5 wood

3 hybrid

4 hybrid

5-PW irons

50 gap

54 wedge

60 lob

Putter

Sometimes I may include a 2 hybrid. And some days I'll omit 2-hybrid, 5 wood and gap

The problem is, if you use a bag with extra clubs that means your score isn't valid so you can't use it for handicap purpose. Other than that it isn't a big deal.

Oh...ok.

No big deal.

It's not like I pick-up after a quadruple because "my handicap won't allow it".

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
