Non-standard bag set ups.

[MartynB]

Not that there is a standard, but thought it would be interesting to see what unusual/eccentric set ups people have. I‘ll go first, 13 clubs in total…

standard bit-
Callaway XR 3 & 4 hybrids, Ping G25 5 to SW including UW, Odyssey O works putter.

non-standard bit-
Callaway XR/X Hot 3 Wood Deep as my tee club. Close to admitting I can’t hit driver and this often goes further and always goes straighter than driver. It’s the one with the deep face they developed with Lefty I think, no longer made but I have 3 of them ?. Hit 81 gross on Sunday so all good.

Callaway XR 4 wood. Easier to hit than 3, goes further than 5.

Aware that gap is small at one end of bag but works for me. What say you?

 

[Orikoru]

Well, if you count the PW as a wedge* then technically I only have three irons in my bag, but five wedges. That probably isn't standard.

*I don't though, since it's part of the iron set, so it's more like four of each in my mind.

 

[nickjdavis]

I have a 5 wood of loft 19 degrees and a heaven (7) wood with a loft of 20 degrees.

Carry distance is pretty much the same but the ball flights are utterly different. The 5 being lower, more penetrating with roll, whilst the heaven wood is all about instant high launch (due to the longer shaft than a traditional 7 wood) and drop and stop performance.

I don't know what's classed as standard or otherwise

 

[sweaty sock]

Ive got no hybrids and no woods of more than 12 degrees...

I put a chipper in my bag the other day as I was playing with a mate at his club and I knew the club would offend him.
Despite the fact that I chipped terribly with it, I made sure to use it whenever the chance arose.

Apart from that, all my clubs are seen as weird by many people.

 

[Wildboy370]

Ping G425 driver.
Cobra Radspeed 3 wood.
Callaway epic flash 5,7,9 wood
Taylormade M4 6 to Gap wedge.

I have the Callaway Rogue HW, 20 degrees of loft and a 4 wood shaft. It goes exactly as you describe, 100% carry zero roll. I love it.

 

[Sats]

I'm looking at a hybrid that sits around the 20-22º mark which sits with the utility I have but I use the utility off the tee, low shots and off the fairway - but I want the hybrid for the more rubbish lies.

 

[GreiginFife]

I like to load my bag upside down on the trolley. Certainly an unusual set up ?

Not in 1957 they wouldn't be

 

[Voyager EMH]

Cobra f-speed 10.5

However, next Tuesday it will be,

1978 Confidence 1, 3, 4 woods
1966 Dunlop Peter Thomson Mark 5, 3 to 10 irons
1976 Dunlop Maxfli SW
1976 Petron Impala putter

..which is far more "standard", I believe.

i say if you’re shooting an 81 gross, you’re in play and enjoying it then crack on!

Spend time on the wedges / putting and you’ll make up that 20 yards off the tee in no time at all.

My yardage gaps are conventional but I carry Driver then 5w , 3 crossover , 4 hybrid ( under review) 5-PW , 52, 56 , 60 ( occasionally) and putter

My carry bag has increased from my half set .. dunno they all crept back in , need to boot them all out again!
Driver , 3 crossover, 6,8,PW , 56, putter ( so I have managed to fill the iron gaps back in by adding back 5,7,9)

[Imurg]

I haven't really hit a driver with any sort of consistency since I broke my ankle in 04..
Didn't play for over a year and when I did come back the driver was a disaster..
Dabbled with many since, nothing stayed for long..
I've used 4 woods, 3 woods, Mini Drivers, strong 3s...
Bit of a Stenson thing going on...3 wood works better than driver 9 times out of 10.
Currently using a Mizuno STz 3 wood turned down to 13 and a bit..goes like a rocket.
5 wood next, which goes well over 200
19 and 23 hybrids
5 to PW
50,54 and 58 wedges.
Best 2 rounds this year of +3 & +5 both without a driver.....
They're overrated in my book..
