Forum Thread of the Day: “What clubs in your bag are SAFE?”
Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from Millhill88 who like most WRXers, loves to tinker with his bag set-up. However, Millhill88 does have some clubs in his bag that he won’t be taking out before the end of the year, and he asks fellow members which clubs are currently safe and won’t be removed from their bags any time soon.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire thread and have your say at the link below.
- sbjinx: “Spider X. I’m putting so well with this thing I stopped checking the putter forum lol”
- eddiebigeddie: “I have several that have been safe for some time. My putter Odyssey Metal X Milled Versa #9Ht has been my club since it came out. My F6 Baffler has been automatic since it came out too when I pull the club I know exactly what’s about to happen. And so far my F9 I got this year has been the driver for me. Finally not struggling to get off the tee.”
- philly2kuk: “Pretty much all of them currently. Sure I’m off to try a Scotty today, but I’ve putted lights out with my anser, my vokeys are safe, driver is safe, hybrid is 14 years old yet still in the bag, five wood is safe. The only question mark is my irons as they’re coming up on six years in the bag. I’m wondering if I’m leaving something on the table.”
- mwink822: “Most of my bag is safe but for wedges. I may be adding either Cleveland RTX4 wedges or Vokeys in the near future. Not that the Mizunos have been bad, but they’re getting to that point in their life where replacement may be wise.”
- shanx: “I have had the same pair of wedges forever (TM RAC Raw tour grooves copper). I got them off the infamous BSG back in the day, don’t see any reason to change them, other than the grooves are probably illegal. Everything else is subject to change.”

Inside Collin Morikawa’s recent golf ball, driver, 3-wood, and “Proto” iron changes
As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.
The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.
On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.
Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.
At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.
“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.
Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.
“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.
“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.”
In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.
Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.
On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.
According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.
“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”

Nothing really that safe in my bag. I like to switch it up a lot and see what is working for me at the moment.

Got some special P750s that were built in the early stages that say Proto on the badge instead of P750 they’re a gem that won’t be leaving the bag anytime soon.

My putter is driving me nuts! Just replaced my Bettinardi QB6 with an Odyssey White Hot XG8 w/Rosemark 1.52 grip (put same grip on QB6). If that doesn’t work I have 6 more putters waiting for their chance to win some skins!

SIK Jo putter. Got it from Kenny Knox 7 years ago. It’s gnarled and bumped and scratches all over it but it’s the ideal putter for me.

My 712 AP2’s are safe forever. My Rife (Evenroll) putter is safe even longer. New Vokeys to replace old Vokeys. TM Driver, fairway and hybrids…not so much.
