WITB 2022 - What's in the bag for 2022?

    See these types of posts and threads elsewhere, so why not here?

    Here's mine:


    Driver: TSi 9.0 Stock settings, HZRDUS Black RDX stiff 6.0.

    3 Wood: Cobra Speedzone, Tensai blue av 65 stiff.

    4 Hybrid: Mizuno CLK @ 20 deg. Speeder stiff shaft.

    4 Iron: Cobra Utility with stock setting, Catalyst 80g stiff.

    5-PW Irons: Mizuno PX 921 Forged, Nippon ns pro 950gh stiff.

    Gap Wedge: Callaway JAWS MD5 50/12W, True Temper Gold.

    Sand Wedge: Callaway JAWS Full Toe 54/12, True Temper Spinner.

    Lob Wedge: Callaway JAWS Full Toe 54/10, True Temper Spinner.

    Putter: Odyssey ProType Black 2-ball 33".

    Balls: Seed Pro1 Yellow. Also, I use distance balls from Decathlon and Srixon in casual rounds.

    Two of my favourite clubs are the putter and hybrid which I picked up 2nd hand through adverts for small money (4i also). The rest were acquired through the year and I won't be in a hurry to make any changes as I'm broke now.

    Thoughts on the irons? Mizuno irons always look unreal. Getting fitted in a few weeks toss up between them and the srixon zx7s.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,717 ✭✭✭coillcam


    Huge fan here. I had a set of 919 forged which I bought on adverts. I always said I'd get fitted if my HC went down below 15 WHS and it finally did. I tested all the heads possible and it actually came down to the zx7s and 921 forged. I was just more consistent on the Mizunos. Didn't think I'd end up with them before I started the process tbh. I was thinking I'd end with something stronger lofted. The hot metal pro and Callaway apex irons for example were rocket launchers but there was the odd jumper that went 10 yards further just didn't suit me.

    The other thing to come out of the fitting process was that my old shafts were too low flighted for me. The new ones have a much higher flight. Much more noticeable on 5-7i. They're a bit lighter and I just find it easier to be consistent with them. Go in with an open mind, you could easily find that P770s or even Cobra irons end up more suited for you. It's actually a very enjoyable process.

  • Registered Users Posts: 5,275 ✭✭✭slingerz


    Can I ask where you got fitted? I got a fitting previously but it was all Mizuno/Cobra with them. I like the look of Taylormade P790s



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,717 ✭✭✭coillcam


    No problem, it was Mullingar Golf Academy. James Quinlivan is the guy who fitted for me (he's the owner and also the pro in Mullingar GC).

    This will change quite a bit in the next few months, as i'm getting myself a new putter this month, and new irons and 5W/rescue in March/April, but currently its as below.

    • Driver - Sim Max
    • Woods - Sim Max 3W
    • Irons - 4I-PW TaylorMade Aero Burner
    • Wedges - Vokey SM7's (48, 54, 58)
    • Putter - Ping Piper H




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,449 ✭✭✭Ivefoundgod


    Expecting a bit of change this year as I'm going to get fitted for irons and possibly upgrade some of the rest of the bag.


    Driver Sim - Ventus Blue Stiff

    3W - Mavrik Sub Zero - Even Flow Stiff

    Irons - 4-PW - TM Speedbladez Reg

    Wedges - 50, 54, 58 SM8s

    Putter - Toulon Design Las Vegas


    Only got back into golf last year and joined a club, handicap at 10.3 and think the irons are holding me back from my goal this year to get to single digits. Never been fitted before for anything so should be interesting. Not sure where to go though, Mount Juliet seems like a good option as nearby to me but they don't do Titleist or Mizuno irons which are what I have my eye on.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,966 ✭✭✭RoadRunner


    Driver tm sim diamana (blueboard) xstiff 

    3w tm m2 xstiff 

    3hybrid cobra king tec xstiff

    2i mizuno mp-h5 xstiff

    4-pw calaway apex pro 2016 dg x100

    50 & 54 calaway wedge md4

    58 cleveland rtx4

    tm spider putter


    That's 15 clubs, the hybrid is new and means I've to take out one of either the 3w, hybrid, 2i or 4i before I start the round. I'm still trying to figure out if I like having a hybrid.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,590 ✭✭✭blue note


    The guy I went to in Tramore does Mizuno and I was very impressed with him. He doesn't do all the brands, but does them, Srixon, Wilson and some of the less common brands like Muira, Orka, Gimar.


    My bag for the year


    Cobra Speedzone - 9 degree, stiff shaft

    Ping G10 3 & 5 woods, reg shafts

    Srixon 4 utility - some 80g regular graphite shaft

    Srixon zx7 5-PW - some 90g regular graphite shaft

    Taylor Made R11 AW, SW

    Callaway Jaws LW

    Taylor Made Rossa Daytona putter (or something like that, could me monte carlo).


    I'll probably try to swap out the two Taylor made wedges - they are from my old set.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,449 ✭✭✭Ivefoundgod


    Srixons are the others I like the look of. I'd just be a bit worried if I didn't like the feel of them would my options be limited by going there? Foregolf gets great recommendations but its a long spin for me here in Carlow. Carton house seems a good middle ground but again I'd probably be looking at a half day off work if not longer unless I can get a weekend spot. Foregolf seems completely booked solid.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 353 ✭✭Tom Ghostwood



    Back playing in 2021 after a 10 year sabbatical so did a bit of a bag refresh. Wedges, hybrid & putter still the same as 2011. New driver and Irons. Newish 3w.

    Ping G410 LST Driver 9.5 degree set in neutral with a 65 gram stiff shaft

    Ping G410 5 wood set a degree down to 16.5 stiff 65 gram shaft

    All seems to be working okay although I don't love the Ping clubs we have a working relationship, keeping it together for the good of the child (handicap). I plan to get new wedges this year and am always playing around with the putter. 22 could finally be the year of the Scotty

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,958 ✭✭✭✭FixdePitchmark


    From looking around at peoples bags lately - my equipment is a disgrace - way too old and to be honest actually worn out. (all my gear a good 6/7 years old)

    I need a full new set up - but - I have massive expenses this year - So it could be another year looking a bit rough, I need to zip up the head cover to hide my gear to be honest.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,717 ✭✭✭coillcam


    Huge value to be had in the next couple of months on the last couple of years gear. Either discounted new or used. As soon as people start picking up the new releases, there will be plenty of value to be had.

  • Registered Users Posts: 38 scotty_golf9


    If anyone is looking to buy a new club and dont want to spend huge money, i got my M4 3 wood and Mizuno 3i off golf bidder. There second hand clubs but they rate the club head, shaft and grip out of 10. If you get 7 or over, I think its worth getting, even if you have to throw on a new grip yourself. I couldnt complain with my clubs that came. It worth having a look

    Driver : Ping G30

    Hybrids: Ping G Series 18 and 22

    Irons: Taylormade Burner OS (11 years old and needs replacing)

    Wedges: Vokey SM7 50 F grind (hate this clud), Vokey Sm6 54 S Grind, Texan wedge 60 (for bunkers, actually cant use it not in bunker)

    Putter: Oddysey 2 ball with alignment lines

    Nearly everything except hybrids and putter could be replaced this year. Only thing stopping me I just paid 127k deposit on a gaff. Slight optimism on mortgage size

    Ping G 9° set to 9.75° stuff stock alta 55 shaft (adverts and a good solid driver)

    Cobra Speedzone F9 14.5° (bought new McGuirks, don't love it)

    Callaway Apex 19 3H 20° (bought cheap new as older model)

    Callaway Apex 19 4H 23° (adverts for almost the same price as the new one 🤪, having both regripped with Midsize plus 4s)

    Titleist 718 AP3 5/6-PW (adverts, had half an inch added and regripped with jumbo grips)

    Vokey Sm4 48° (Halpenny new at the time on sale, currently having half an inch added and regripped with midsize plus4)

    Pron 52°, 56°, and 60° (new from Amazon with midsize grips as standard, surprisingly good, would prefer vokeys but can't afford to pay for the marketing 😅)

    Scotty Cameron Newport 2 (bought new in 2008 and will probably never use anything else although maybe I should 😬)

    Would love to get fit for the entire bag, but not too likely anytime soon, so will continue dumpster diving and adverts lurking, alongside getting the pro to tweak things.

    Have found the changing of grips revelatory and not something I ever thought of previously. Had been suffering with tendon issues on and off for years through grip pressure and poor technique. Fitting the midsize on the woods/hybrids and jumbo on the irons has helped hugely. Would recommend anyone looking into it who hasn't thought of it before.

    TaylorMade rbz 5 wood, stiff shaft

    Cobra fly z hybrid set at 21 degree, stiff shaft

    Titleist 712 Ap2 irons 4-PW, dynamic gold superlite x100 shafts

    Cleveland 588 wedges in 52 & 58

    Odyssey 2 Ball putter

    Currently using Seed Balls


    Nearly everything in bag is up for replacement. Driver and putter am happy with. Everything else is fine but I haven't bought clubs with years bar the driver second hand last year so would like to upgrade a bit

    On irons maybe something more strong lofted but still appealing to look down at , more what's called " players distance irons" category. Old irons were foregolf built

    Better gapping with wedges needed too I think, feels like big gap between pw going about 125 yards and 52 around 100 yards

    Used Seed balls last year but price isn't looking as good this year so might try something else



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,073 ✭✭✭MarcusP12


    I had a similar experience very recently.....was fitted to the JPX 921 forged...went in interested in the TM P790s but found them too strong. Didn't try too many to be honest as found the forged very consistent and they just felt right.....what can out for me from the fitting is an issue with a closed face at impact (fitter reckons it was partly a set up issue) and whatever way the JPX 921 forged lined up for me, i seemed to set up better with it and my misses weren't as bad....



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 813 ✭✭✭SEORG


    Driver: Ping G400 - Aldila RIP 55g Stiff shaft

    Fairway: Taylormade Rocketballz 3HL - 61g Miyazaki Stiff Shaft (in the bag the longest)

    Hybrid: Cobra King F7 3-4 Hybrid set to 20.5° - 75g Stock Stiff shaft 

    3 iron: Mizuno MP-18 MMC FliHi 3 iron KBS C-Taper lite stiff shaft

    Irons: Mizuno JPX-921 Pro 4 - PW Project X 5.5 shafts

    Wedges: 50° & 54° Taylormade MG 3 Black Steel, 58° Cleveland RTX4

    Putter: Odyssey Stokelab 7s 33"

    TP5 x ball.

    I swap between the hybrid and 3 iron but mainly the hybrid is in the bag.

    The 7s has been my "go-to" putter for a few years but I have a few & change it out quite a bit, for casual rounds.

    The driver is most likely next to get changed, really interested in the new Callaway Rogue ST. I hit one today indoors and I'll be bringing the demo out on the course this weekend. I don't like the stretched look of some drivers behind the ball and it has an impact on how I swing the club (ridiculous, I know!) but I haven't tested anything that beats the G400 performance and forgiveness yet.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,073 ✭✭✭MarcusP12


    Trying this bag set up for the "new season":

    TM Sim Max 9 degree driver, stiff shaft

    TM Sim Max 3w 15 degree, stiff shaft

    Cobra f9 7w reg shaft

    TM M4 5h stiff shaft

    Mizuno JPX 921 Forged 6-PW

    Mizuno T22 50, Vokey SM7 54, Vokey SM8 58, 62

    TM Spider X (or Evnroll ER5 TBC)

    Gonna give that a go for a few rounds anyway. Decided to see how an extra wedge goes as find i don't use much on the long end of the bag and most approaches are from 7/8i up and i stuggle with non-full shots. Options to change to include 3w to a cobra F9 5w, maybe dropping the 7w for a cobra 4 utility, 5h for set 5i or drop one of the wedges for a long club.....did a review of my stats and figure my proposed arrangement might make better use of my 14 clubs....



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,396 ✭✭✭AyeGer


    The reg 7 wood seems an odd fit in that set up Marcus, does it work well for you.



  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users Posts: 1,073 ✭✭✭MarcusP12


    Ha, yeah I knew that would be picked up on alright! I previously carried a 4h but was struggling a bit with it and read a few things about how 7w was becoming popular due to height and distance combo so came across this cheap on adverts. Been hitting it very well, getting 220-230 odd out of it…it’s very easy to hit….not enough gap to 5w so decided to see how 3w goes….the reg shaft could be an issue if I play more and get my swing speed up…currently around 95 according to my LM so probably already too high for a reg shaft…..will be keeping an eye on it….



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,396 ✭✭✭AyeGer


    If its working stay with it as thats all that matters at the end of the day. A 7 wood is a club i am interested in myself so i might go testing a few. I put a regular shaft into my 4 wood this week and am liking it at the min.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,449 ✭✭✭Ivefoundgod


    7 Woods very popular at the moment, would love to give one a go but not many options in the 2nd hand market and don't want to buy new in case I don't like it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,073 ✭✭✭MarcusP12


    Yeah they are impossible to come by alright, especially in regular or stiff…I suppose traditionally they’d have been used by slow swing speed players who prefer woods to irons so usually in light/senior flex when the odd one does come up….I got lucky, saw the F9 (in the nicer IMO white and black Matt crown version) in perfect condition with regular shaft for a bargain so snapped it up…I just wanted something easier to hit that I could have a cut at par 5s where 2nd shot is low risk and I need to hit maybe 210/220…I usually lay up to a full lob wedge if not within range or high risk…working out well so far anyway…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,396 ✭✭✭AyeGer


    Lots of 2nd hand ladies 7 woods for sale. I’m not sure if the headweight is different or could you put a still or regular shaft in yourself. Most of the heads now you can just screw off.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,781 ✭✭✭Motivator


    Just a question, I’ve seen multiple posts with people using multiple shafts on their clubs. Is there that much of a difference in the different shafts? I have stock stiff shafts on my woods and whatever shafts the chap gave me when I got fitted for my irons there wasn’t a conversation had on different shafts.

    Just wondering is it a gimmicky type thing or do all these different shafts actually make a difference to the average golfer? I played with a guy over the summer who was about 14 handicap but had different shafts on all his woods and irons claiming they were “game changers”. I had a quick look at his handicap just there and he’s now 16 so they’ve been game changers for him clearly, just changing the wrong way.

    For tour players absolutely I can see why they do it but then again tour players are playing a different game to the rest of the world.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,449 ✭✭✭Ivefoundgod


    Its a sort of a how long is a piece of string question IMO. If you haven't been fitted for clubs but know your swing speed you can of course just buy a stock stiff shaft which I'd imagine is what many golfers do. But there are huge variances in what a 'stiff' shaft is with different manufacturers and shaft types designed to produce different outcomes. Only a proper fitting session by ForeGolf or somewhere like that is going to be able to tell what type of shaft your swing suits. So yes you might be stiff or regular but a heavier or lighter shaft might suit your swing style.

    Getting fit into the right shafts isn't going to make you lose 2 shots off your handicap but it does mean you can be confident that the clubs you are using are the right ones for you. A fitting is good for pretty much all handicaps IMO but if you're only heading out once a week and not practicing your not likely to improve any aspect of your game just by being fit. But they can be a game changer if you are using the wrong type of shaft for your game, someone playing stiff shafts when they should be playing regular or vice versa will notice a big difference, it won't fix a bad swing though.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,788 ✭✭✭Ottoman_1000


    All depends really, my handicap is 7.4 currently and would definitely tell a difference to some extent.

    I have Tensie CK Pro Blue x-stiff shafts in my driver and 3wood, Nippon NS Pro Stiff in my Irons and stock shafts in my wedges.

    I played 2 rounds of golf over in Spain last November with hired clubs on both occasion and although I could pick x-stiff, stiff etc for the clubs they were all Callaway stock standard shafts. I noticed the feel with the driver in particular was a lot different, that would have been mainly down to the difference in weight between the shafts. I could never really get fully confident to let rip with it over the 2 rounds.

    The irons, especially the short irons I could make work but again wasn’t 100% confident as I would be normally. 



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,449 ✭✭✭Ivefoundgod


    I don't think there's many fairway woods with interchangeable shafts unfortunately, plenty of drivers allright but I use a Mavrik fairway and the shaft isn't changeable without a pro or a shop doing it. Same with all Callaway and TM fairways as far as I know. Cobra seem to be the only ones with that option but if you found a ladies 7w and then had to try find a cobra tipped shaft to fit it you'd be there or thereabouts at the price of a new one I'd say.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 403 ✭✭bmay529


    I might have thought the same BUT playing 9 hole comp with 3 clubs + putter had 21 pts ... and that was not the best, by far, ... The whole bag is now going on Adverts ... I don't need it. I jest, I don't have the B***s, but only goes to show.

    Current bag.

    Ping G400 Max driver, 9*, Alta CB 65 @ 45"

    I would be very interested in how you came about having the Diamana Blue stiff shaft (an older shaft I used in 915D and liked) in the "new" TS3 head



  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,396 ✭✭✭AyeGer


    I can’t remember exactly where I got it I’ve had it for a few years I had the 917 and now the TS3. I have the hzrdus smoke 6 that came along with the TS3. I used to buy shafts on eBay before brexit. I have spare driver, fairway and hybrid shafts.

    just a matter of screwing off the heads and changing the shaft so long as the correct adaptor is on the shaft.

    It’s on the subs bench currently, I’ve a bettinardi BB8 in the bag at the moment. I think when the weather clears up a bit I’ll go back to it. It’s a lovely putter to be fair, I just like experimenting a bit in winter.

    Good picking, the BB8 is a lovely putter too.

    Yeah I’m loving it so far. I think the face balanced Toulon might not suit me. I see there is a slant neck version of the Las Vegas but I think I might go for the x5.5 instead if I do decide to move on the double bend I have.

    Currently for 2022:

    Driver: Taylermade M2 (2016), Tensei CK Blue, stiff.

    3W & 5W: Taylormade SIM2 Max, stock stiff shafts.

    22 degree hybrid: Ping G400, stock Alta stiff.

    Irons: 5-PW Mizuno JPX921 Hot Metal, DG105 stiff.

    Wedges: Vokey SM7 50 degree, Callaway Jaws 56 degree (raw), Vokey SM7 60 degree.

    Putter: Odyssey White Hot OG #7.


    Driver might get upgraded this year if there's a performance benefit. Irons are also potentially "up for eviction" as they say - lovely set but just a bit too chunky. Main problem with changing is finding a decent replacement set, being a lefty doesn't help with the choices, so they might stay !

    The 60 degree wedge might also go - its rarely ever used and isn't really necessary with a 56 in the bag.

    Driver: Srixon Z785 10.5° with stiff Miyazaki 5S shaft.

    3w: An old hand-me-down Slazenger that rarely gets any use.

    3 Hybrid: Taylormade Jetspeed

    Irons: 4 - PW. Mizuno MP15 with Project X 6.0 rifle shafts

    Wedges: 52° 56° 60° Vokeys

    Putter: Odyssey White Hot OG #7 with Stroke Lab shaft.

    Ball: Usually whatever is cheapest or whatever I find! Although I am looking at picking a ball and sticking with it. Considering AD333 at the moment.

    I'm pretty new to golf so I'll be sticking with this setup for a while. The 3w will get changed at some stage and I'm actively trying to sell/swap the driver for something else as I'm not overly keen on it. Apart from that, the bag will stay the same for quite some time.
