So for the past few years I have played on the Golfweek Michigan West Amatuer Golf Tour.  Next year I would like to be a little more competitive.  Currently I have a TaylorMade Rocketballz driver, and Speedblade irons.  I would like new irons and driver for next year and would like some feed back as to why you like the setup that you have.

A couple of suggestions...

First, playing on the Golfweek circuit costs a little bit of money, and it means you're getting more involved in the game. With this commitment, have you had any lessons recently? If you could find  a good instructor, possibly some swing changes and adjustments could help you become more competitive.

Second, after a couple of lessons and some stabilization work, get a fitting. This will help you find what you need in clubs: shaft type, clubheads and lie angle, grip thickness, etc.  A fitter can help you more if you have somewhat stable (not necessarily perfect) swing.

Go to upcoming demo days and test out different drivers and irons. Then, make a short list of ones you liked and share it with a fitter.

As for my set-up, it works for me but might not work for you. It took me about two years of tweaks and testing to get my current mix.

For clubs, most everyone uses putter, driver, irons and wedges. One critical area in rebuilding your bag is the bridge clubs: 3W or 4W? Hybrids or high-loft FWs? What is the longest numbered iron you can hit with good results?

Focus, connect and follow through!
