Have just upgraded most of the bag.. picked up a new brand new set of fitted Srixon ZX5 irons and a Taylormade spider putter in the last week. The irons feel amazing, so much more confident standing over a 4 iron. Just need to get a consistent swing

decided to regrip 3 clubs.
2 of the wedges, one is over 10years old, another is probably 7yrs old and a one length gap wedge that i havent had in the bag for a very long time.
the 2 wedges were in great need of being done, hopefully that may help them behave themselves :lol:

grabbed a MGI X4 electric buggy from Drummond for $899 on sale for $999 but i had a $100 prize voucher.
is it lazy golf or just smart to upgrade into one of these?

If it's time to regrip a wedge, then it's time for a new wedge!

Wandered out to a local driving range with a mate yesterday. He’d gotten himself a new/second hand Driver. I had a few swings with it, and hit it reasonably well.

All my clubs are 25+ years old. Which means I was in my early 30’s when I got them. I also played a lot more golf back then. All my clubs have stiff shafts.

My mates driver is 10.5 degree which is to lofted for me, but had a regular shaft in it.

So I was able to get a real good feel for what the standard shaft provided to me, as opposed to the stiff shaft in mine. 25 years on plus another 20 odd KG’s I’m not as flexible and don’t generate the club head speed I once did.

Think it’s time to jump on the sim at Drummo’s and most likely change the shaft in my driver. It felt so much easier to get the club through the ball and back to square with the regular flex.

The standard flex shaft in my old driver has made a bit of difference, but I’m still all over the shop.

I’ve been having a look at the latest drivers etc at my local Drummo’s. Considering a purchase here.

Not hit any of them yet… but reckon I will in the coming weeks. I’ve always liked Taylor Made in Drivers…. There are plenty to choose from.

What do you guys here use, and why?

Get fitted mate, best advice i'll give anyone.

When i got my new ones, I had my eye on a few clubs i wanted, but they weren't 'right' for me, went through a few of them in store and found the right ones for me (ended up with Ping's)

Yeah I went and had a look thru the store last week and they said they would get me fitted when ready, I presume there is no extra cost for this?

The other thing I found is that drivers and most clubs, the technology doesn't improve greatly from year to year.
10yrs is probably a good time to upgrade. I know when looking at drivers I spent hours reading and watching reviews etc
I'm contemplating taking my baffler and hybrid in to a drummond to see whether a different shaft would work.
