Haven't played much in the last year, so I need one or two upgrades. But I'm no longer the equipment junkie (small time) that I was a few years ago.
Driver: Titleist 975D with Rifle Graphite shaft (soon to be upgraded to likely a Cobra 460);
Fairway woods: Orlimar Trimetal Plus. I have them in 16, 20, 22, and 26, and carry depending on the course. All have EI-70 shafts. I absolutely love these clubs, especially the 16. I drive with this club when it absolutely positively has to be in the fairway.
Irons: Mizuno MP-33, 2-PW, though I don't carry the 2 much. All have Rifle 5.5 shafts. Don't let the blades fool you. I'm not exactly scratch, but these clubs aren't that punishing and feel great when hit well. I would rather improve with clubs that force a good swing than ones that mask a bad swing. Right now my iron play isn't my weakness.
Wedges: Titleist Vokeys, 52 chrome, 56 and 60 oil can finish. PERFECT swingweight off the shelf (for me). I have stuggled with my short game, so I've gone through many wedges. I like both the feel of the vokeys when swinging and when hitting the ball. Even though they are not forged clubs, they feel forged. The chrome is a mild exception, but I don't carry that one often and will probably replace it with the oil can if I decide I need the 52. Have even thought about getting the 48 to replace the Mizuno PW.
Putter: Scotty Cameron Laguna 2.5. Like Tiger (I think he uses another Cameron model -- maybe a Newport), I have no plans to change putters regardless of what endorsement contracts I pick up. Right now, that's not exactly a huge concern. I do need to change the grip back to the original. I swapped it for a full cord, which I use on all my other clubs, but for some reason, I don't like the cord on the putter. The rubber is much better.
Ball: Titleist Pro-V1. Since I still lose a couple a round on a tight course, I go with the practice balls. About half the price, but still a great ball.
Bag: Miller compartment. I'm a organization nut when it comes to equipment. I also have a Nike Sunday bag for par 3 courses.
Like I said, no equipment junkie anymore, but I'm always interested in what guys are carrying.
Incidentally, I have some Wilson Staff FG-17 blades going real cheap if anyone wants a set. Perfect for the 8-9 year old taking up the sport -- just reshaft them.
