I have replaced everything in my bag and the bag itself.

Driver I got for xmas is going well the 12 degree is leaving me quite a bit short at the moment.

3 & 5 woods replace the Callaway steel shafts I could never get to grips with.

Irons replaced some cheap Hippo os4 ones as I am committed to golf now and needed something more solid.

52 Gap wedge replaced by Srixon WG701 52, the feel and control I get is great, and I use the SW as a lob rather than spend more.

Putter replaced courtesy of GM and seems to be going well.

At the moment I am just getting used to them all, some have their off days and other don't.

I have not changed anything.

My G10 10.5 degree is a revalation, and I shall be sticking with it.

The Taylormade V-Steel 3 wood is going okay, any bad shots are down to me, not the club!

My trusty MX-25's are doing the job, so they will also stay.

My Srixon wedges 56 and 60 are beginning to work for me.

My trusty Odysey White Steel mallet has been in the bag since I started, and I couldn't part with it.

Only addition is a Yonnex 4hybrid, which is great.

I could be in the market for a 50 degree wedge, but would need to trial a few beforte deciding. Any suggestions welcome!

My plan of action is to book a course of 4/5 lessons and possibly a playing lesson.

Just joined West Malling, which is only 5 mins from home, so should get in some summer evening practice.

I feel ready for the coming challenges, and am looking forward to the new season!

Hoping for a more settled bag this year as am happy with most of what I have. Just changed my 3 wood to a Tayloremade Burner as wanted something that I felt more comfortable with off the fairway (new course does not require a 3 wood off the tee).

The only likely change is on the recommendation of my pro to try using a 10.5 degree driver again. Am looking around the options at the moment but yet to make a decision. Liked the Wilson Staff Spine Driver, tempted to have a go with a square headed driver or may just go back to the clubfitter who built my driver and have a lower loft head put on.

GB72, I would heartily recommend the Callaway Ft-i, it has really helped me, my driving is now one of the most consistent parts of my game. Stats from my 8 games this year show that driving accuracy is equivalent to a scratch golfer (I play of 11).

Will be using my R7 TP irons "in anger" this season, they are very, very good.
Also using the TM Burner rescue, which is excellent too.

Really feel like my game is coming together, my new equipment has definitely helped.

Irons where due to arrive 3 weeks ago still no sign of them, Mizuno blame the courier and the courier says they have not picked them up yet :mad: :mad: :mad: Will most likely cancel them as the season starts on Saturday.

ping g10 3 and 5 woods. they are really easy to hit from the deck. am finding the 3 wood a real good alternative to the driver when the drivings a bit off. about 250 from the tee

Count me out of any long drive contests next week, but after reading a post on here a couple of weeks ago, I think brendy may just force you to part with some hard earned cash for a new big stick, clubchamp07.

BTW cc07, have you heard anymore from scott, is he still ok for playing

Recently bought a Odyssey Dual Force 2 putter has made a difference to my putting-the ball just rolls across the green.

Happy enough with the rest of the clubs.

Forgot to mention my new equipment.

Awaiting delivery(hopefully tomorrow) of my new Odyssey White Hot XG No. 5 C/S putter and with it renewed hope that maybe I can lower the putts per round average, and who knows brendy, you and the other Irish guys may be the first to suffer from my new wand :). Or probably not :(

Its not all about distance matey, if you can reliably hit a ball straight and putt like a demon, the longer hitters will start to feel nervous in your presence.
