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

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!
