Taylormade R15 driver, and Benross irons. My favourite clubs are two very cheap Dunlop hybrids.

In my bag (Motocaddy Light)

Taylormade Burner driver, Taylormade 4 wood, 3 x Ping Karsten Hybrids, 6-SW Ping Karsten irons with reg flex graphite shafts. Odyssey putter, 20 Bridgestone e6 balls, 2 water balls for the 5th hole, loads of tees, 2 golf gloves, a couple of hand warmers, cleaning towel, 5 ball markers, 2 pitch mark repairers, some aspirin, 3 hats, set of waterproofs, an umbrella, a pair of gaiters, 2 pairs of glasses. Christ, it's amazing I can pick the bloody thing up !!

TM RBZ stage 2 driver, stiff stock shaft and 9,5 ° club head. easy to play.

irons are titleist ap2 2012 with DG300S shafts 4 to PW. hard to play well. took them out of a closet this winter to change from my mizuno mx25 nippon reg shafts. (easy to play but a bit soft shaft on longer irons, they bend hard when off plane).

Two years ago I bought a new RBZ stage 2 driver, regular shaft and 10.5. It just didn't work for me so I sold it and bought a Cobra Flyz adjustable with a stiff shaft. Much sweeter

Driver: Callaway XR

3 Wood: Titleist 913F

4 Hybrid: Taylormade RBZ Stage 2

Irons: Nike VR Forged Pro Combo 4i-9i

Wedges: Cleveland 588 (52º, 56º, 60º.  All "2 dot" bounce)

I need to figure out my bag between 3 wood and 5 iron.  I don't like my hybrid (I tend to hook it off the planet), and I'm not 100% confident in my 4 iron (though it is nice to have if I need to punch out under trees).  I'm starting to think along the lines of a something like a Callaway Apex hybrid, or possibly the Ping Crossover.  Really looking for something less draw-biased, and also something that has a more consistent distance.  I feel like the RBZ hybrid is just made to hit the ball as far as possible, which isn't what I'm looking for in that club.

I play the Adams DHY hybrid.  It is not for everyone but it is not a hook machine!

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
