Afternoon all
With lots of recent posts about new gear I'd be interested to find out what kit forumers are currently using, how long they've had each item and then if they're thinking of changing anything.

I'll kick it off

Driver: PING Rapture V2, 20 months, no plans to change

Fairway: PING Rapture V2, 15 months, no plans to change

Hybrid: Adams Idea Pro Black, 4 weeks, A cast off from staff writer Paul - still assesing

Irons: PING S57, 20 months, about to switch to S56s

Wedges: PING Tour W, 3 years, about to switch to PING Tour-S

Putter: TaylorMade Rossa Fontana Ghost, 1 week - very much in honeymoon phase, switched from a Scotty Cameron Newport 2 that I had in for nearly 5 years.
 
Driver - Taylor made R7, 3 years, no plans to change

3 wood - Nike sasquatch (regular shape), 15 months, no plans to change

Irons - Taylor made rac lt (2002 model), 6 years, no plans to change

Wedges - Nike sv 52 and 60, 3 months, no plans to change

Putter - Yes Callie 32", 5 months, no plans to change
 
Driver - Benny um, 12 months on and off
3W - Nicklaus 24 months
3H - Taylormade 18 months
Irons - Yonex 12 months
Wedge - Mizuno 8 months
Putter - Odyssey 6 months

No plans to change anything apart from maybe finding a 48 degree wedge from somewhere.
 
Driver: Callaway Hyper X, about 3 years, keep trying other things but can't hit anything better despite this not doing that well for Callaway

3-wood: TaylorMade r9, a year or so, love it - no plans to change

Hybrid: Makser AS40, a couple of years, one I kept from my old equipment editor days - love the head size and haven't really found anything I like better

Irons: Mizuno MP-60, 3 years, occasionally switch to and from MP-57 but not really looking for anything else

Wedges: Mizuno MP Series 56 and Snake Eyes 600W 52, about two years, sand wedge needs replacing as face is worn out - just found a Cleveland Tour Action 56 at my local amenity tip shop for £1 so will try that out after refurbing it!

Putter: Kramski - about 3 months, found it lurking in the shed and some of the finish has come off thanks to a damp headcover but confidence has been restored on the greens, no plans to change until three-footers start going astray regularly
 
Driver. Ping i15. Picked up last Thursday from Ping HQ Gainsborough, initial impressions are good. Looks like it's in the bag to stay.

3&5 woods. Ping G10's. Had them about a year. Getting on well with my 5 wood, but the 3 is playing up a bit. It might be up for a change if I sell my old G10 Driver along with it and replace with a new i15.

Hybrid. Ping i15 17 degree. Owned since April. Hate the poxy thing

Irons. Ping i15's. Had 'em since April this year. Love 'em. If I'm playing well they are the best clubs I've owned. If I'm playing badly they're shite. But I won't be changing them.

Wedge. Had it since April this year. Ping Tour-W 56 degree. Love it. No change.

Putter. Yes Tracy. Had it about 18 months. Love it. No change.
 
Driver Taylormade R9 2 months no plans to change

3w Titleist 909 6 months planning on switching to a R9 or a shaft change

19 degree 909 hybrid 4months no plans to change

Titleist 695cb 3 years no plans to change

Titleist Vokey52,56,60 3 years will change to 50,54,58 Vokey soon

Driver: Taylor Made Superquad, 4 years old, would like to replace it with R9 Supertri but can't afford to.

Fairway: Taylor Made R7 CGB Max, 2 years old, no plans ro change.

Hybrid: Taylor Made R7 CGB Max #3 & #4 2 years old, no plans to change.

Irons: Taylor Made 09 Burners, 1 year old, no plans to change yet, but could be tempted by some Ping i15's

Wedges: Taylor Made Z TP's 52, 56, 60, 1 year old, no plans to change.

Putter: Odyssey 2 ball, 7 years old, looking out for Scotty square back.
 
Driver - Titleist D2 - A year old - no plans to change

3 Wood - Nike SQ - 3 years old - no plans to change

Hybrid - Cobra baffler - 3 years old - Love it, would only think about changing it as its only 1 degree stronger than my 4 iron, so if I cant get the loft altered, I 'may' get something a little stronger.

Irons - Taylor Made burner 09 4-PW - 1 year old - no plans to change

Wedges - MD 54 degree and Callaway X-tour 60 degree - both 2 years old - no plans to change, although may change the MD for a 50ish degree wedge as my PW is 45 degree.

Putter - Ping Anser IN V2 - couple of weeks old - no plans of changing
 
TM Burner09 Driver - Purchased start of the year, replaced my G2

TM burner 09 3w/5w purchased start of the year at a price i couldnt resisnt - replaced my supersteel woods which id owned for 5 years,

TM rescue - purchased about 8 weeks ago off here, just wanted to try a rescue.

TM 09 burner irons, purchased about 4 months ago, replaced my super steels id had for about 5 years

Yes amy putter, replaced my rossa inza a few weeks back. purchased because it was named after my ex and she was a "good girl" ;)
 
TM Tour Burner - approx 10mths (Will look to change for an R9 supertri)

Nike VR 3wood - 5mths (Love it no change)

Cobra Baffler - 18mths+ (Love it no change)

Mizuno MP60s - About 3years (Love them no change)

Vokey SM 50, 54 & 60 - (Love them, will change for same when worn out)

Yes Tracy II - (Love it no change)
 
My stuff is listed below, woods and irons are recently acquired second hand of course. Putter is new very recently. Vokey wedges are wearing out a bit and are 2 years old. The progen 50 wedge has been a revelation, bought this year for pennies and a perfect weight for me.
Enjoying it all but may change the Titleist 3 wood, it's kind of pro-level small headed and a bit unforgiving, shaft seems a bit dead to me too.
For the Nike haters among you, the driver is a beast. :rolleyes:
 
Driver; Mizuno MP600 had it about a year, when I can afford it might change for the new MP630.

3 Wood; Mizuno MP630 13.5 had it about 2 months very happy with it goes about as far as the driver but am able to hit a bit of a fade with it if req. Replacement for F50.

Hybrid; Mizuno CLK 17 had that about 3 months of ebay very happy with it as didn’t have a hybrid before. Replacement for hi fi 2iron.

Irons; MP 57 but recently got a of MP32 blades for the winter but been using those instead. Love both sets just can’t make up my mind which ones I prefer.

Wedges; Mizuno 51,56, great but getting a bit worn but no plans to change.

Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport Select 2.7. Love it, improved my putting no end. No plans to change.

As you can see i like a bit of Mizuno kit, but not the putters
 
Driver: TaylorMade R580XD 10.5 degree. no plans to change, owned for 2 years

Fairway: TaylorMade Burner 15 degree, no plans to change, owned for 6 months

Hybrid: TaylorMade TP 19 degree, owned for 2 seasons, no plans to change

Irons: Mizuno CT - owned since 2002, on order are a set of MP58's

Wedges: Titleist Vokey 52* and 58*

Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Mid Slant - new in April, its excellent.
 
Driver - Ping i15 , nearly 2 months , no change

3w - Mizuno f60 , 19 months , hate it defo going to change as soon as I can work out what woods would suit me better

17* Mizuno mx700 hybrid thingy - 19 months , will be changed along with the 3w this Autumn

Irons Mizuno mp57's - 3-pw , 20 months , love them to bits and they are staying

Wedges Mizzy mp series 51* and 56* - 20 months , no plans to change but could be tempted if I see something outstanding

Putter Original Odyssey 2 ball - since 2001 , keep looking but I love this club sooo much it wont be going anywhere until I die
 
Titleist 909 - one year, will change in two years for Titleist or Ping

Taylor Made Raylor Reissue - 10 years, no plans to change. I had the old Raylor for 10 years before this one.

Ping G2 irons - 4 years. Will change soon for Ping i15 or S57.

Cleveland wedges - one is 12 years old, the other four. No plans to change.

Scotty Del Mar 3.5 - 3 years. Will never change, it took me a long time to source a black finish from ebay.

I might buy a Ping i15 hybrid sometime.

Full club details in signature below.
 
Driver - TM Burner 2008. OKish. Could be persuaded though.
3 wood - Hawkeye VFT. Rarely used in anger.
7 wood - Hawkeye VFT. Love it to bits.
4 Hybrid - Callaway x series. Would consider changing.
Irons - Yonex ADX 100. Bought 2nd hand 14 years ago. Work better for me than my X14's. Would definitely consider changing if asked by GM to test drive something more modern ;) ;)
Putter - Oddessy Tour #5. Won 2 years ago. Gets the ball in the hole (eventually). Staying with it but might revert to my Pal 5 in the winter.

Would definately consider changing 3 wood, 7 wood and 4 hybrid to something more matching and more even spread of distances. Problem is, being a leftie, finding gear from a range of manufacturers to test drive is a huge problem.
 
Re: Forum gear survey. What's in your bag and how long have you owned

Driver: Currently an ageing Callaway Deuce WarBird - Steel shaft that ive had for years in the garage. Purely cos I'm too erratice with both my G5 & Titleist 905R. Might try the Drivers again sometime, but no plans for new, just plans to find the fairway more often hopefully with the Deuce.

4Wood: Another ageing WarBird with Steel shaft - hugely powerful club - no plans to change.

Irons: Titleist CB's, in the bag since March this year, love them, not the most forgiving irons perhaps, but inspiring, and look the dogz.

Wedges: Vokey SpinMilled 54 & 60* - 2nd season with them - no plans to change, apart from maybe to the Black Nickel versions !

Putter. - currently a Yes Marilyn, bought 2nd hand in June, and although I love its look, I can still leave putts well short with it. 2Ball still hovering in the garage.
 
Good question Mike

Driver/3-wood/5-wood - Cobra - stiff shafts - custom-fit in 2007 (driver updated to legal version 2009). No plans to change. 7-wood - Callaway from 2001. Can top it better than any other club I've ever had so no plans to change.

Irons - Srixon 302 5 through Wedge - custom-fit in 2007 - no plans to change

Wedges - Srixon 302 Gap Wedge 52 degrees. Sand-wedge 56 degrees - Lob wedge 64 degrees. All individually purchased in 2007 - no plans to change.

Putter - Two-ball Odyssey White. No plans to change as the previous one ended up on the BBQ and if I changed putters each time I had a bad day on the greens, I wouldn't be able to afford to play.
 
Ping G5 Driver - Dug this out and hitting it better than all the new ones I tried. 2 Years

Fairways, Titleist 906 F2 3&5. 2 Years.

Irons, Titleist 775 3-PW, Had these 2 1/2 years, going to treat myself after xmas to some new ones.

Wedges, Mizuno T-Series Raw Haze, 51/56/60, 3 Years, About to be replaced as they are worn out.

Putter - There is a sore point. I cant find it. Im sure I lent it to someone when I jacked due to the injury but no-one is fessing up. So I am putterless and in the market for one.
