Re: Forum gear survey. What's in your bag and how long have you owned

Driver- Titleist 909 D2 Comp - 9 months
3 wood- Titleist 906 15 deg - 1.5 years
Hybrid- Titleist 909 19 deg - 8 months
irons - Titleist 695 CB 4-PW - 3 years
wedges - Vokey 52,56,60 - 6 weeks
no plans to change any of above

putter - Odessey Black series #3- great putter ,but always looking to complete the set.
 
As the only Benross whore on the forum, I think they should be looking to find me a nice 4h and 52* wedge ( about the only things I need )

I'm also due a new Ping driver when I can eventually get it sorted, and I'm really looking to compare that with the cheapy cheapy Benross.

All aquired over the last 9 months, and very happy with it. I would happily look at more expensive alternatives if the numbers came in, but no reason to otherwise.

Driver - Benross VeloCT 10*

4W - Benross VT Xtreme 17*

3h - Benross VeloCT 20*

4h - Nickent somethingorother 23*

Irons 5-SW - Benross V6

Putter - Smiffy's old MD Superstrong Aladdin ( Cut down to 34" with a 'Yes' grip added )

Total cost - £270 for the Benross + £20 for the Nickent + I still owe Smiffy a pint for the putter ( even tho he refuses to play with me )

Now tell me the Mizunos and TM etc are worth the extra hundreds of £££.

:p

I know what Craphacker feels like with his Benross equipment, I feel something similar with my John Letters stuff.

I only used to play a dozen or so times a year and used to use my old father set of Red Eye Pings (yes I still have them in the loft) but I wanted to change as they were getting worn out. Because I wasn't playing a lot I couldn't justify spending loads so I bought the following from DG

3+5 John Letters T series Fairway Woods
(i dont use a driver any way) about 2 years

3-SW irons John Letters T9 about 2 years

Mizuno Flix hybrid about 3 years

Mizuno Bettinardi BC3 putter (bought at a GM sale at HO) about 16 mouths ago.

Since I bought the JL stuff I joined my first club about 18 months ago. I am quite happy with my gear but I will be looking to change in about a years time, except for the putter, I know many people dont like this putter but I love it.
 
Driver: Nike SQ Dymo 9.5 Stiff - 4 months - no plans to change

3 Wood: Adams Tight Lies 2 - 6 years - might change in the next year or so.

Irons (3-DW): Lynx Black Cat - 12 years - no plans to change until I get to a handicap of 10.

Lob: Nike SV 60/10 - 4 months - will stay in the bag until the grooves go.

Putter: Borrowed early 90's Wilson - 4 months - changing at Christmas (but only because I have to give it back!)
 
For club details see sig'.
In terms of age, and how long they will be kept:
Driver: approx 3 yrs old.
3 wood & resuce: approx 4 yrs old.
Irons: approx 4 yrs old.
Wedges: 1yr old.
Putter: 1yr old.

Currently all the clubs are good & work well (any problems are down to me & not the clubs).
Therefore I plan on keeping all of the clubs until they are worn out, lost or stolen, whichever comes first.
 
Taylor Made 510TP - 7 Years (Waiting for my Nike VR Tour to be re-shafted - 4 months)

Callaway Steelhead 4+ - 9 Years (Swap with my PT 3 wood when re-shafted - 15 years)

Mizuno MP68 3-PW - 10 Months

Titleist 52deg GW - 5 Years (Waiting for my newer one to be re-shafted)

Mizuno TP 9 SW - 15 Years

Titleist 60deg LW - 8 months

Taylor Made 2 Rescue 16 degrees - 4 years - No plans to change

Ping G2 irons - Bought second-hand about 4 years ago - Would like to change over the winter ready for next season

Cleveland Tour Action 588 wedges - 4-5 years old (maybe older!) - Would probably look at the wedges when changing irons

Ping CU5 putter - 15 odd years old - Temporarily replaced with a Yes Natalie for a couple of years but now back in the bag. No plans to change.
 
Driver: Callaway FT3i, 6 years+, no plans to change

3&5 Fairway: PING G5, 5 years+, no plans to change

Hybrid: Mizuno Fly Hi, 3.5 years, no plans to change

Irons: Mizuno MX25, 20 months, no plans to change

Gap Wedge: Cleveland 52°, 4 months, no plans to change

SW: Mizuno MP 56°, 3.5 years, may change to match the Cleveland wedge

Putter: TaylorMade Rossa Monza Corsa, 5 years, no plans to change

I am perfectly happy with all my kit, but may look to replace the SW with the Cleveland equivalent with less bounce, but no hurry.

My golf dollars are lined up for a GPS, a new bag, and possibly a electric trolley.
