I play with whatever works, and have a mixed bag.
- Driver, 3W, 5W, and 4H are cheap GigaGolf clubs
- 6-PW are Cobra F8 irons
- Wedges are Cleveland
- Scotty Cameron putter
I took a few years off from playing golf after I moved, and sold everything golf related. When I decided to play again in 2015, I didn't want to spend a lot of money because I didn't know how serious I would get, so I bought everything from GigaGolf. The full set cost me under $600.
Didn't really like the irons, so I sent them back and bought some used Mizunos. The woods seemed to be fine, but the more I practiced with the driver, the wilder I got. I went to a clubfitter, and the shaft on the driver was a really bad match for me. He put in a new shaft for me at $200-300, and I have been hitting it ever since. 3 years now.
I've been getting more and more serious, so this summer I did a full bag fitting at a local Club Champion facility. They put me in new irons and wedges, but nothing could really beat out my GigaGolf woods and hybrid. I consistently carried that GigaGolf driver 300-305 on the TrackMan, which is about what I get on the course. We tried several different shaft/head combos, and nothing really blew away the GigaGolf driver. And that's 3 year old technology against all of the new stuff from Ping, TaylorMade, etc.
Same with the woods and hybrid. Nothing really beats them by enough to warrant spending a crap ton of money on the latest and greatest. Unfortunately, I just noticed a small crack in the bottom of my driver this morning, so I guess I'm going to have to get something new. Hoping I can just pop a newer model GigaGolf head on that shaft and keep rolling with it. They don't made the head I have now any longer.
