What’s in my bag?


Over the past couple of years I have switched out my clubs several times, but finally have a combination I enjoy playing with. I will echo what all professionals say and advise anyone buying new clubs to get fitted. If you go by a local golf store, like Roger Dunn you can typically get fitted for free. The fitting usually comprises of hitting a few balls on an inside range. They can then tell your swing speed and other dynamics through the computers and sensors affixed to the range. Just because you get fitted at the store does not mean that you are obliged to purchase the clubs from that store.

I purchased almost all of my clubs on eBay. I have found not only a tremendous selection, but also great prices; often ½ off store prices. I also know co-workers who have picked up clubs at thrift stores and Craigslist. The most noticeable purchase was Callaway RAZR irons (brand new) for $3 each.
My current clubs are;
Driver:                   Titleist 910 D2
3 Wood:                TaylorMade Burner HT
3 Hybrid:               Adams Idea V3
Irons 4-GW:          TaylorMade Burner HT
56 & 60 wedge:    Adams Tom Watson – players grind
Putter:                   Nike Method MC-3i
I am really happy with these clubs. The only change I may make in the near future is to replace my 56 and 60 wedges with Titleist Vokey’s. My bag is a Titleist midsize staff bag. I love it and it is the perfect size – not too big.
I have recently just transferred from using TaylorMade balls to Bridgestone e6. I selected the e6 as I discovered I have a pretty slow swing speed and these balls are best suited to that.

In addition to upcoming course reviews I will post periodically about various golf gadgets and equipment which I use.

Update: June 2013

During a random visit to Roger Dunn I noticed the Ping G25 irons. I liked the color and look. In the subsequent days following I did some research and found amazing reviews for the clubs. I went to the store and tried some out. They felt fantastic and according to the launch monitor each club was going about 20 yards longer than my TaylorMade Burners. I got custom fitted and found a great deal online. Long story short now they are in my bag.

Ping produces a quality product and customize for free.  When I was a teenager I remember admiring Ping clubs at the local golf store. Now I guess I have fulfilled a childhood dream.

I also upgraded my Adams wedges to a single Scratch Golf 56* wedge. I found previously with having a 56* and 60* it gave me too many options. For know I am sticking with one wedge to use around the green and will work on mastering different shots with that. Then further down the road, I will eventually get a lob wedge.

In the upcoming months I will post more detailed reviews about the clubs as I gain more experience using them. Now my bag looks like…

Driver:                   Titleist 910 D2
3 Wood:                TaylorMade Burner HT
3 Hybrid:               Adams Idea V3
Irons 4-GW:          Ping G25
56* wedge:           Scratch 8620
Putter:                   Ping Scottsdale TR ZB S

  3. Thanks for the positive feedback. I didn't do anything to get on Yahoo News, so unsure how I got on there. My blog and I were featured on the front page of a newspaper a few months back – may be that is what got me on the news section??
