The last of my new shinies arrived yesterday. Over the winter I have added to my Orka irons with 2 Kii hybrids, and GS5 3 wood and driver. I changed because each one offered improved distance and accuracy over my old clubs. It is also nice to nearly have a bag full of one make again but I am a bit sad like that. I will be getting the wedges looked at in a couple of months as I have a bit of a mish mash of ones that I have bought over the years. i have also been using a low bounce lob wedge that was great in the heavy sand that used to be in our bunkers. That has changed now and it is little use in the new sand.

New driver, irons, hybrid and putter for me. Only club I have from last year is an old Tm3 wood. Why? Because I came into some money after leaving the navy and decided to treat myself to an upgrade from my donnay clubs. So got cobra S3 driver, S3 max irons, a NZ9 hybrid and a Scotty Cameron putter. Just need some wedges and a 3 hybrid now.

I bought my Cobra Cell irons, hybrid and fairway about 5 weeks ago and doubt this will count but a used Cobra ZL Encore driver from eBay.

Why did I buy them wanted to improve even more than I had with my Nike Ignite 3's, Adams Speedline Fast 10 Driver and John Letters 3 hybrid.

So glad I did as well, hit my best 2 scores at my 2 favourite courses and my confidence level is sky high at the moment.
