Off season equipment changes?

[jajwrigh]

How do you like the X2 Hot? I love mine.

My kids are "giving" it to me for Christmas, so I am not permitted to open it yet.  I had it cut down 1/2" too, so I am eager to see how it all goes!

While I won't do any of this till march.. I plan on shortening my irons, and re gripping them.... And will probably shorten my driver shafts too

I was tempted to re grip clubs yesterday but winter is right aroundb the corner and it would be foolish just to let them sit

selling off all my 2014 clubs,( course are closed here right now, although I still see green grass) making room for 2015s

I do this every year

Wow, I thought people doing this was just a myth like people replacing their new car every year.   More power to you ... I am green with envy.

God bless those people. I might even buy some of their gear.

As I said I do it every year, new fitted irons 5-PW (plus 1/2, 1.5 deg up right, stiff 90-100 gram kbs tour, midsize grip), usually 2 hybrids #3 set higher and a #5 set on standard, #4 tour fairway wood  and a new driver.  Sometimes I'll get wedges 54-and 58 every year and half. This year they too will be replaced with my custom specs, 1/2 longer, standard lie with a slightly fatter grip down low- Im right handed.  Putter I am keeping it was bought new last year, a 43 inch belly, shortened to 41 inch- but I don't belly it when I putt. Putting was the most single largest improvement to my game last year. This putter was the reason. it rolled the ball like no putter I had ever used. Including camerons, bettenardi high end odysseys and pings etc.

It may appear that I am complicated or picky but once the season starts, I tinker with nothing and I am set to go. I come right out of the gate knowing my distances, based on shaft length and loft. I do notice the spin degradation thru the course of a years play (7-8 months  season) with my irons and wedges.

I like playing with new clubs every year.

Got to hit the new BB Alpha 815 hybrids last week and really liked them. I think they come out around the PGA Show. Will probably be putting the 18 and 20 degrees in the bag, adjust the 20 to 21.

Dropped a titleist 906f4 3w for a X2 hot 4w.  The 60* wedge was an older cleveland and the 19* hybrid was a TM Dual rescue.  Better now?

My apology..  I kinda read the post wrong, but that doesn't excuse my comment.  It was wrong.

No worries man!

That's not what I thought of immediately.   My immediate thoughts were 1) you must be filthy (no offense) rich, and 2) I wish I was in your shoes.

I am going through my 1st custom fit clubs after 5 years of golf,  except for wedges & putter (not enough money, too many clubs to custom fit).   I think I should at least re-groove my wedges.

Every year I have spent the off season replacing something in hopes that it aides my game in the slightest.

This year I vowed to replace nothing. My game is improving, my yardage and accuracy is approving.

I am going to stick with what I have.

That is unless I find a good deal on a 3 hybrid. In that case I am swapping out my 5 wood for a much needed 3 hybrid!
