2012 projected kit changes

[Ferrins]

Do you have thoughts about a new direction with your clubs and kit? Are you going for chunky irons or maybe a different ball,shoes etc.

[Jarro]

I want an adjustable driver with a Nunchuk in it 8)

[Croydo]

I'll be getting a new bag shortly, I sold my R11 T2 cart bag to a mate, so I'm back using my old ogio grom for the time being, I'm thinking about getting a Ping Pioneer bag in black with inferno red or an ogio grom xx. I also need to speak to Virge about the R11 3 wood that arrived just before i went away, we need to put a decent shaft in it, apart from that for the first time in a long while I'm pretty well settled and happy with everything in my bag.

[Grunt]

New Bag would be the most likely but minimal changes on the horizon. I would have to be able to swing and at the moment that is just crap.

[simmsy]

Drivers.

[davepuppies]

Maybe a new bag.........

Possibly the 712 AP2s if i see them cheap in the states next year....

[simmsy]

Maybe looking at the SunMountain Hybrid bag down the track.

[Jarro]

I actually will need a new bag soon too ... forgot about that :roll:

[Iain]

More Nike clubs....

[yoyo]

PlusFours

[timah!]

Only thing will be a serious hunt for wedges.
And accessories... :D

[backintheswing]

Only thing for me I hope is a Ping tour-s 50* wedge and spinner shafts. I have my j36 blades I am using now and a spare set of Srixon ZT-X irons to play around with as well. And I have an Airmuscle on the way too.

Will also be getting rid of all the extras.

[backintheswing]

Don't do it Jarro. It f&&ks with your brain. I had one and sold it and went to a FT Tour.

[Peppas]

Probably a 3 wood, and a multitude of putters only to come back to the same one I started the year with.

[Daves]

Don't do it Jarro. It f&&ks with your brain. I had one and sold it and went to a FT Tour.

Wimp, Chuk works perfectly well. If I can swing one well, anyone can I reckon.:wink:

[Captain Nemo]

Nothin!
I'm actually going to sell all the stuff I'm not using and by some lessons, seriously:smt087

[Flavzz]

Realistically I'll have a new -
Driver
3 wood
Irons
Wedges
Cart
Bag

Maybe still have the same-
Hybrid
Putter (until the new scottys come down in price)

Hey at least I'm realistic.

[dave1]

Nothin!
I'm actually going to sell all the stuff I'm not using and by some lessons, seriously:smt087

how many putters you got these days?

Im going to change as little as possible

new driver in a week will arrive and newish gap wedge also.

Irons are staying, mizuno mp wedges I love, putter is behaving itself plus Im saving for trip to Tassie (yes golf)

[Yossarian]

You say that about every club you hit dave. I am predicting a change in about 2 months.

[dave1]

I know Im bad for that, please remind me if I consider buying anything

also you can sign the whitness box on my divorce papers also :D

Im saving cash for tassie trip in October so (to play lost farm and Barnbougle)

[popper81]

DG spinners :)

[live4golf]

No comment (yes, I know that is a comment)

[dave1]

they are too light (I think not 100% sure this point though)

Not sure what specs are but will more than likely buy some DSG wedge flax shafts

Im using the 60 and 54 mp t-11's and lovem. That said I do like the feel of them around the green because they feel easy to on open faced shots. I have an mp t-10 50* coming with a DG wedge flax shaft so I will be able to compare it to that

but dam it no more equipment changes OK!! :D

[Jarro]

Don't do it Jarro. It f&&ks with your brain. I had one and sold it and went to a FT Tour.

I'm afraid the lure of this one is too strong mate .... i need to be 'chuked !!

[timah!]

I'm afraid the lure of this one is too strong mate .... i need to be 'chuked !!

Get chuked in a fairway then instead of driver.

[Jarro]

Yeah i'll probably chuk the fairway as well.

Gonna be a real chuk-a-thon this new year :)

[dc68]

I see an adjustable white driver in my future. No 'chuk!!

[TheNuclearOne]

I see an RBZ Tour 3 wood being trialed and an RBZ Tour driver trying to sneak in the bag. Wouldn't mind trialing the JPX-800 and G20 drivers too.

[TheNuclearOne]

Did i forget the i20 as well?

[KristianJ]

If my swing counts as a kit change, then let it be so.

Otherwise (and I know I have said this before), I'm rather satisfied with what I have right now.

[Yossarian]

ROFL!!!!!!!!

[Courty]

I'm rather satisfied with what I have right now.

Careful, that's a ban-worthy comment. No-one on this forum is ever satisfied with their setup. ;)

[Ferrins]

I'll have your irons when you make a change Courtstar.

[KristianJ]

I have at least 1 2012 golfing trip to save precious pennies for.

[Courty]

I'll keep it in mind if my experiment fails.

[timah!]

I have at least 1 2012 golfing trip to save precious pennies for.

With matching outfit?

[Ferrins]

Are they engraved?

[KristianJ]

With matching outfit?

You mean matching with whatever Courty is wearing?

[Courty]

Are they engraved?

Not yet.

[perci]

I'll be on the look out for a Driver that doesn't have the yip's and I may cut and shut another Scotty since the centre shaft Delmar is still working a treat!

[Ferrins]

Why don't you and your boiler maker mate bring out a range of putters.

[live4golf]

Apologies for my late reply, I needed to shoot down to the hospital to get stitched up...I fell off my chair when I read your comment.

To coin a famous movie line 'Tell him he's dreamin'' :)

[KristianJ]

At least I had the guts to not hide behind a "no comment". ;)

[meh]

Got a 910 fd fairway coming.
Odyssey white ice #7 coming (thanks croydo)
I20 driver looks good.
If Adam Scott is right and they make a centre shaft kombi I will definitely get one.

[live4golf]

At least I had the guts to not hide behind a "no comment". ;)

I know my limitations. There is a strong chance I will change my kit this year still :) I mean seriously, I have CG16 Tours coming and am striping the R9 TP's so clearly I have issues, we all know I have issues so....no comment

[KristianJ]

In the next 5 and a half hours?? Hehe.

And yes, I do remember I will be trialling a SFTP 2.0 some time next month...

[braddles]

712 MBs or AP2s with either PX or KBS C-Taper.

Vokey SM4 wedges.

I am hitting my 15* 910Fd with DI-8x around 240m from the tee, but will probably have an RBZ 3 wood before long.

I have given up on the driver!

[Madone45]

New irons on the horizon, looking around at present and like the look of

Nike VR Pro Cavity
Wilson Ci11
Cleveland CG16 tours
Mizuno JPX800 Pro

Now to spend some time tracking down a pro shop which stocks these brands and where I can have hit on a range, get fitted etc.

After the irons a new bag.

Cheers
Dave.

[jaybam]

Nothing for me :)

[ricktobin86]

A driver and new shoes sometime.

[FoxGolf]

Not sure if I like the Adams hybrids and have no love for my 3 wood so theres probably a couple of changes to be made.

Have never hit a Chuk, so don't know what all the fuss is about with them. Probably a good thing as I won't be going down that path anytime soon.

[Jarro]

A new, good umbrella :mrgreen:

[AlexMc]

Driver, Irons, Wedges and Putter are all set. Fairway wood seems to be behaving. No real change required - but never say never...

[Flavzz]

A new, good umbrella :mrgreen: +1. Which ones are best?

[TheTrueReview]

Nothing. Pretty happy with it all. Depending on how my improvement goes, I might look at shaft changes later in the year ... perhaps.

[dhills2]

Realistically I'll have a new -
Driver
3 wood
Irons
Wedges
Cart
Bag

Maybe still have the same-
Hybrid
Putter (until the new scottys come down in price)

Hey at least I'm realistic.

Ditto... except I'll probably have a new putter as well & try out the Penta as well once I can justify spending a little more on pills.

[TheNuclearOne]

.

[Captain Nemo]

Some new ferrule's!

[idgolfguy]

Change of shafts from DGS300 to original Rifle 6s Flighted for my current gamers.

[Pinglauncher]

Hybrids, wedges and putter are safe. Driver is :roll:

Looking for some more forgiving irons and also chasing a different fairway wood. Distance off the tee of Launcher FL but high and easy off the deck like TEE Trilogy.

[braddles]

I have a set of Rifle 6.0s you can have for $80 plus post.

[Gomer]

Just bought a scotty laguna 1.5 so will either keep my current cleveland as my gamer or make the switch. Will also be loking for another pair of shoes, umbrella and maybe a cart bag.

New years resolution was to do less impulsive buys and actually save some money!

[yoyo]

Well it would seem the new year has brought with it a complete inability to hit my 3 & 4 irons, so that opens up the need for at least one new hybrid. Might use the extra club to add in a gap wedge.

[Dotty]

How about sourcing a TEE Trilogy 3 wood, with Tour AD 62g regular low-mid kick shaft?

There's a couple of holes around my course, where I sometimes need more than a Trilogy 5 wood. ;)


As for me. Bag pretty set, but seeing Dr Virge for back-to-basics swing advice and an optimised driver.

[spanner039]

Everything - need (not want)
new irons, driver, shoes, clothes and then some balls should be a good year !!

[KristianJ]

Careful, that's a ban-worthy comment. No-one on this forum is ever satisfied with their setup. ;)

I applaud you for supporting your argument with a rate of 1 major purchase per day so far this year! :smt038

It's gonna be hard work keeping that up. :shock:

I reckon I'll find myself divorced & out on the street if I keep going for too long. :neutral:

[Courty]

The site owner disagrees.

Pffft.

[Yossarian]

I might source a 10.5* 9064LS head.

A new lob wedge.

[simmsy]

I might know of one for sale.

[Yossarian]

My finger is itchy.

[simmsy]

Make me a real offer and I'll consider.

[virge666]

I am getting the AP2 feeling again...

What's Leon doing with the 710 AP2 he had ?

Hmmmm....

[johl]

in my last round my left shoe fell apart on the 7th. "its okay it was just the tread insert i can still play on." then on the 11th the sole on my right completely comes off on my follow through on the tee. so as you do, i walk the rest of the round with just a sole on my left and just the top of the shoe on my right.... time for new shoes

[Leon Phelps]

I am getting the AP2 feeling again...What's Leon doing with the 710 AP2 he had ?Hmmmm.... Ahhh, it's you hey!!!

[Leon Phelps]

New putter, maybe towards the end of the year new irons, if I reach my target handicap

[simmsy]

I think a Kari-Pimping is in order.

[virge666]

Ahhh, it's you hey!!!

Threatening... like the idea of proj x flighted.

[Leon Phelps]

Threatening... like the idea of proj x flighted. That's what I had planned

[990B Luva]

I'll reshaft my driver, regrip everything, and possibly pull the trigger on some Nike TW Blades..... Wedges need re evaluating too.

[PeteyD]

Nothing planned I will just go with the flow as per normal.

[johl]

i bought my first new set of clubs yesterday with no intention of doing so when i walked into the shop. bought a set of callaway diablo. i just did a blind test of everything in store suited for a c grade golfer. the bloke that worked there just taped up 6 different 6 irons and i just kept hitting them until i narrowed it down to my favourite. now i just need to get a new driver and my set is good to go

[dave1]

I said no changes

does changing shafts count?

Adams super hybrid will take out the voodoo and put V2 hybrid shaft in (BTW does anyone know thw the tip size of the adams super hybrid)

will also bend the Mizuno 50 deg wedge to 48

welcome to the addiction of buying new gear

I'm sure you'll you hit em well

[timinsa]

I'm going to pull the PX flighted5.5s out of the Orlimar tours I have sitting here & chuck in the kbs c tapers Leon was kind enough to sell me. Might hit them Sunday for my birthday slog.

happy birthday

do you reshaft and regrip your own clubs and part B to all of that: Did it take much to learn how to do those things?

[timinsa]

Yep I do all my own work. I used to own a golf range in partnership with a PGA pro. We had a large workshop & specialized in custom club fitting & assembly.

[Dotty]

Dave, you have a few old clubs lying about town, so give it a try. I do minor work at home (learning by trial and error), from what I've read on this site.

One is grip replacement, via cut and double-sided tape/turps. (Air compressor method is better and allows grips to be re-used, but would need some cash outlay and garage space.)
The other is steel shaft swap-over, with a heat gun and araldite. (Graphite needs a linear-pull extractor of some type.) Ferrules can be a problem, so either buy spares, leave off or sit club in boiled water and slide old ferrule up shaft, before heating the clubhead.

Search this site or youtube for demos. And the below is handy, to know what size shafts are in the various OEM heads ...

[dave1]

thanks lads

I enjoy the hobby side of the game and what man doesnt enjoy a shed with tools and doing stuff in the shed

youtube sounds the go, I have an air compresser I use for cleaning so all it needs is the right adpator - correct?

[yoyo]

Johl dont get the diablo woods they are shite!

[johl]

thanks mate, i didnt plan to. currently have a callaway x series 3 wood and a adams gt363 9* driver. the driver will be next for an update as i hate the shaft. really happy with the irons though. every club went really high with a slight draw. which is what i like

[990B Luva]

Considering a Nike Victory Red Tour 9.5° with a Project X 6.0....

[johl]

Can anyone tell me why Scotty Cameron's are so expensive? I don't understand. Honest question

[timah!]

Can anyone tell me why Scotty Cameron's are so expensive? I don't understand. Honest question

Same reason porsche's cost more than a Toyota.

[johl]

Really? They that good?

[timah!]

Really? They that good?

Always depends on the user.
Having said that, you use a putter around 30times a round.
Driver maybe 8-10. Which would you spend more on?

[Ferrins]

Same reason porsche's cost more than a Toyota.

You got to be kidding!

Better comparison would be a white hanky with a Versace logo on it and a white hanky.

[timah!]

Pfft, there's no comparison there! :p

[Iain]

Because people are willing to pay that much.

[Peppas]

My bag is staying the same this year!

[Dotty]

My bag is staying the same this year!
Just the bag, or does that include the contents?

[Peppas]

Just the bag, or does that include the contents?

Nice pickup! I think I will stop trawling for bargains this year and just keep the bag as is and work on the handicap. I've got plenty of spare stuff... :)

[IanO]

The only changes I am making in 2012 are already made 8) I have changed my bag for one my kids gave me and i have changed the shafts on my fairway wood and hybrid to Nunchucks.

* QUESTION: does it count if I swap gear in and out of the bag for things I have in storage?

[rubin]

assuming no breakages - nothing. bag is sweet. driver is working. couldn't ask for a better set of irons. Putter is good.

does a new swing count as a "kit" change?

[Pinglauncher]

I have just gone back to my G10 12* head with an "A" flex Matrix Radix 4 shaft tipped 1/2" to play just under reg. this will hopefully force me to swing a little smoother to protect back problems.

Looking to match a lower profile fairway wood head with a Radix 5 reg shaft.

Hybrids are fine and looking at some higher launching irons with a little more forgiveness but finding a playable fairway wood is much more important.

Wedges are sweet and loving the Kombi S

[Captain Nemo]

May go down the "chuck" road for my 4.wood?

[timinsa]

Looks like after only 4 days in play the MacGregor tourney iron heads are going back on the bench. Too much offset in the long irons. Wilson Staff combo heads next up. See my WITB later for pics.

[AP81]

Very tempted by the RAZR Fit. Removeable hosel + adjustable swingweight screws = big win.

Will do my best to fight the temptation. Wish they'd get rid of the .350 hosel though.

[td42t]

Only changes I will be making are new shafts in the 9 and PW.
They had a little accident with my putter on the weekend.

[TheAwesom1]

What are Nunchucks worth

Looking for a Driver Shaft and 3 wood Shaft and a 2 hybrid shaft
