Clubs You're Most Likely to Replace Before Next Season?

[ChetlovesMer]

I was just thinking that I've subbed out my 4-iron, with a cross over, then switched to a hybrid, then back to a 4-iron, then back to the cross over, then back to the hybrid.

I've also played 2 different drivers this season. 

On the other hand I've been playing the same irons 5-PW for almost 10 years. 

In my entire golf life of 25 years I've only had 3 putters for any substantial amount of time. My last switched actually occurred when my current putter broke (the bag fell off the cart.)

I replaced my wedges but that was just going to a newer Titleist Vokey. As my previous wedges were 6 years old. 

I'm always tinkering with the top of the bag, but almost never change the bottom of the bag.... hmmm? I don't know what that means but it's interesting. … well, at least to me.

My clubs are all only a year old or less, so I don’t anticipate any changes. That said, I may pick up individual clubs if I see a good deal. Maybe a wedge or hybrid. But nothing planned.

My Driver and 3W might be on the chopping block. If I can find something with newer technology that can outperform them I will probably replace them. Looking for improvements on both distance and left/right dispersion. All my other clubs are less than a year old.

I carry one of two sand wedges, a 54 and a 58, depending on what I expect to encounter.  I'm thinking about building a 56 and using it year-round.  As I get older I wax nostalgically about days gone by...when (true or not) there didn't seem to be so many choices to make.

I need a new lob wedge for sure. The treads on mine are pretty bald.

Just got new irons/wedges earlier this season and just picked up a taylormade m1 to replace my old Nike VR driver earlier this week.  Gonna miss the old VR Driver though because i hit it very well. BUT......i need to find a good 3 iron. Currently have a Nike VR Pro that i just never have hit very well. looking at the taylormade p790 and really leaning towards that club lately.

I don't see a reason to replace anything at the moment.

I am already into my "next season". Unless something drastically goes wrong with my bag of sticks, like some sort of damage, I have no plans to replace anything. Maybe some grips, but that's about it.

Right now I am playing with a combo mix of my newest set, and the set it replaced. Newer clubs won't help out my game that much.

I voted never replace, but I am joking. I have been through the whole bag in the past 12 months, and I am really satisfied and set for a few years. The only thing I am toying with is trying a 58* wedge with a higher bounce--likely an SM7 D grind. If I did this, I might drop my 56 and 60 and put the 4 iron in the bag. This would tighten up my gap on the top end between my 5 iron and 21* hybrid, and should work ok because I have a 53* gap wedge in my set. I have spent a lot of time with only one specialty wedge, and it works for me. The gap at the top is not too bad though, and I might be better off with more options on the bottom end. Probably, I am just manufacturing an excuse to try that D grind wedge.

Being retired, I took a teaching job during the bad Michigan weather to buy new clubs!  

[DrvFrShow]

Actually I'm seriously considering getting a chipper because my short game is such rubbish. That would take the place of one wedge.

I've been toying with the same idea.

[CarlSpackler]

None of the options apply. I won’t be replacing any clubs this year, yet I don’t have hickory shafted clubs.

I don't need anything, but if I ever get my behind to Erie, I will get an Edel wedge fitting. It has been just too busy this fall. I'm playing used ones I picked up at Golf Galaxy. Not sure why the previous owner ditched them.

[Bucki1968]

I might replace hybrids. Keep going back and forth between them and irons. I like how easy it is to hit them but just can't seem to find the right one. I think it's more of shaft issue. 

[DaveP043]

If I replace anything, it will be my driver.  The Titleist 910 D2 has been with me for 7 or 8 years now.  I'm considering doing a fitting, to try different clubheads and shafts, and see if I can improve a bit.  I know there's a fitter at Mid South in Pinehurst who uses Trackman, on an open range, with ProV1 range balls, who has most or maybe all of the major manufacturers' heads and lots of shafts.  I'm not sure how much improvement I'll need to see to convince me to spend the money, but I'm at least thinking about it.

[mcanadiens]

Barring a surprise inflow of cash, I'm not buying anything new, but the putter in the bag can always be subject to a change out.

I've got two in reserve, so the flat stick is always a bad two or three rounds from getting benched.

My sand wedge. The SW with my iron set doesn’t have enough bouncenfor green side bunkers. I carry an extra 56 to chip with. Need one club to do both and hit a short approach.
