Current WITB:
Driver: Callaway Epic 440c head @9.5 degrees. Fujikura Speeder 661 68g X flex @44.5 inches with a half inch tip.
3 wood: Taylormade RBZ stage 2 @ 14.5 degrees, Oban Kiyoshi White 75g 05 flex (X) with a half inch tip.
2 iron: Taylormade P790 UDI with a KBS Tour-V 120g X shaft.
4i-PW PXI 0311T Gen2. Black KBS C-Taper X 130g (once hardstepped).
51, 55 degree Callaway Mack Daddys with a 120g X flex KBS tour-v shaft.
60 degree: Callaway Mack Daddy (8 deg bounce) with a KBS C-Taper X 130g.
Putter: Titleist Scotty Cameron Newport @34 inches that I bought in High School in 2001.
Ball: Titleist Pro V1
Things I'm tempted to replace in 2019: Everything except my PXG irons. I was kind of luke warm on them when I bought them last summer, but it was mostly because my swing was so crappy I couldn't find the sweet spot with my irons for a stretch. Absolutely love them now. They're incredibly forgiving on mi****s, but still have great feel, and the control I'd want out of a player's iron. Not quite as soft as the miuras I had for 7 years before, but the extra forgiveness is a good trade off.
Driver I hit reasonably well still, just always tempted to try the latest and greatest. Going to 44.5 inches last year was a great choice. Just feel so comfortable with the club in my hands relative to a 45 inch stock length. Much easier to find the sweet spot.
3 wood is still super solid, since the thing is just so hot. That old RBZ head is ridiculous. New heads are just a bit more forgiving in general though, and this one can get a little spinny, especially on mi****s.
I'm torn on the 2 iron. On some courses I do miss playing a hybrid for second shots on par 5s... but especially in tournaments, it's nice to have an iron to hit on tighter holes. The biggest issue I have with it is the shaft is a bit weak for me, so it can get a little spinny. Might just get it tipped a half inch and see if that makes it feel better before I scrap it. I was actually shocked how much I liked the PXG hybrids... tempted to get an 19 degree or so from them with something super stiff in the shaft.
Will likely get a new 51/55 (or 50/54) at some point this season. Will get c-tapers in them, and hopefully make the swing weight a bit higher. The callaways feel very light to me relative to my other clubs, which isn't something I want in my wedges.
Replaced 13 of the 14 clubs, and the 1 that remains I'm drafting up a competitor for.
Driver: Callaway Epic Speed Triple Diamond LS 9.0 @9.0, Project X Hazardous Smoke Green 70TX @44.75 inches
3w: Sim2 rocket 13.5 @13.5, Tensei White 80TX tipped 1.5 inches @42 inches
2 iron: Sim UDI 2 iron with KBS tour-v 120x... have a titleist driving iron (3i) getting a tensei white 100TX tipped 2inches getting thrown together now.
4-PW: Miura TC-201. 4-8iron True Temper X Seven shafts, 9/PW have KBS tour-v 130g tour x shafts. I will probably be replacing 4-8 with them. Accidentally broke my 9 iron and the guy that helps me with my clubs couldn't get x7s, so I just replaced the 9/PW to try, and the Tour-Vs are just so smooth/stable. They also oddly spin almost 6-700 less than the X7s, which surprised me.
The Miura TC201s are soooo pure
50/54 degree SM8s, with KBS tour-v 130g tour X.
60 deg Callaway Jaws 8 degree C grind with a KBS c-taper 130x. Found it in my basement and just have supreme comfort with it after a year of using the vokey 60s.
Putter: Swapping around a ton, but using my 2020 Scotty Newport 2 @34 inches lately.
edit: Done a lot of tinkering with the ball, but just using the 2021 ProV1 in tournaments so far. Was playing the left dash, but just has no grip on shots < 80 yards.
