What do you think my bag says about me?

It says I find what I like and don't look much further because I know what I like and what works. Your multiple brands of clubs says that you do not care about what brand you play; you just care that you find "that" club(s) for each part of your game. For you, it is all about feel. You've tried several different wedge sets, but always go back to the vokeys. You've had a history with vokey wedges and know what they do, so you upgraded to the sm4s and like their clean look. Your wedge spacing is just right for you, but you find that the 50* is used sparingly comparatively. You prefer a "smooth" feel to a club (Kusala, Pershing, Pxs), which allows you to release the club consistently and not get too quick on your transition. You loved your 910 the minute you demoed it and brought it home, but you've swapped out a few shafts until setting on the Kusala, which you found out about by demoing a Cleveland classic 10* driver. You will keep it in the bag for a while, but won't think twice about going to the 913 or Titleist's newest model at some point down the line. You know your way around a golf course by playing strategically, but it has taken years for you to commit to this style (laying up and taking your medicine on errant shots). Fortunately, it has made you a better player. A once mid-teen handicap, you have most recently gotten down to a high single; most noted due to your improved putting (the ss grip has made a difference for you). You try to play golf at least twice a week. Anything less is a disappointment. You have aspirations to go lower someday, but work has you bogged down mostly and you realize just to shave 2-3 strokes off your game will require you working 60+ hrs/wk (between work and golf). When you cannot play golf, you're chipping in your backyard and playing games. You do not like to buy golf balls, but are able to locate bridgestones and/or prov1s because it is what the majority of people play at your local course(s)!

Fairly accurate?

It is very accurate, most of my clubs were bought on this forum for very cheap as of this year I have been playing like a high single digit handicap I have been playing since I was 10, but didn't really get the chance to buy proline clubs until I started working last summer I am now 19 and hopefully one day I can become a plus handicap I am a college student so I only work about 30 hours a week so that was a lot of fun to read thanks for posting.

Everytime when some 15yr olds play white driver i start judging.

lol..

me too. its bad but i usually jusdge the guy with an all taylormade bag, addidas shirt shoes hat and looks like hes dressed for a sunday major at the driving range. then watch him hit and wonders why his r11 isnt going 300yrds. it unfortunate for the actual players taht are going and belive in the TM products. but the rest of the bandwagon give thema bad rep to apoint where i wont buy TM so i am not looked at like that.

i admit i like to lok good ont he course with golf fashion persay but i do judge a little and anyone who says they dont i think is lying a little.

I like all the new stuff but i usually have a mixed bag. i am gaming amp cell pro flow set rions 5-pw, tour extoics XCG6 3 wood and 3 hyvrid, Admas DHY hybrid driving iron 4 hybrid, amp cell pro LE driver rip phenom shaft, Adasm Yes belly putter.

[mr.lysgaard]

Im thinking of getting my TM r11s spray painted neon pink, what does that make me? And maybe I will put a stiff steel shaft in  my rocketballz tour 3 wood

[Kirasdad]

Can't sleep so I'm up at 1:00am, reading golf sites, getting psyched for Merion.

Have a field day with this.

Woods (and I mean this literally)
Driver MacGregor with dynamic steel shaft R flex
4 wood Macgregor same shaft as above
The Macs are persimmon
7 wood Hogan #3 apex shaft, the head is laminated
Irons
Macgregor 985, 4-10, or as it says on the club head "The 985" dynamic stiff (the heads are so heavy the shaft plays more like a firm)
SW Macgregor FCW 12 Classic 56 degrees
Putter Ping Zing 2 with a Winn Lite Jumbo grip because I use a claw grip ( the grip and putter is my one nod to modernity, although the putter is hardly a new design)
My bag is a PING Sunday bag which is good for me for I only carry 12 clubs, and almost never ride.
Ball Callaway Hex Chrome

I love reading golfwrx, but as you can see I'm sort of anti golfwrx in style.

Lest you think you've figured this out I will say I hit my driver 250, I guess that's a hint.

Knock yourself out.

Hmmm...this is interesting:

Bag: Ping Hoofer Breast Cancer Awareness (bright pink)
Driver: Adams 9064LS 8.5* w/ RIP 60s
3wood: TaylorMade V-Steel 15* w/ Diamana 73s
Hybrid: Adams A12 Pro 20* w/ RIP'd Proto
Irons: Adams Tour Issue Pro Gold PVD 4-PW w/ OG Rifle 6.5
Wedges: 52/56/60 Vokey TVD
Putter: Rife 2-Bar Black

All woods/hybrids have non-OEM headcovers.

I like older stuff!  Been gaming the driver for over three years and she is about to blow up.  Been dying to find a 3-iron to match the set as I'm not a big fan of hybrids.

Very high handicap, more then likely a beginner trying to fit in with his golfing buddies.

Lets see if anyone can guess my handicap

Driver: Cleveland Classic 290 9.0 w/UST V2 Stiff flex

FWY Wood: Adams Speedline XTD 18.0 w/Fubuki Alpha Stiff

Hybrid: Taylormade Rescue11 21.0 w/Aldila RIP

Wedges: 54 and 58 Vokey

Putter: Odyssey white hot 2 ball center shaft

I would guess that you are a mid handicapper.. maybe around a 10-15. I would guess the strong point of your game is putting since you have kept the Top Flite putter around.

I'm guessing mid 20's.  Possibly wearing a flat bill and a bit flashy.  Naturally a high ball hitter.  Anyone gaming a V-steel Diamana combo makes me think today could get challenging.

I would not play you for money without seeing a little more and especially now that I'm fighting the "shank" demons!  This is a strange game.

My guess would be that you are a pretty good player. I'd say in the 4-6 range. Everything in your bag is quality. The V-Steel is one of the holy grail fairway woods and the Pro Gold irons are preferred by a lot of good players. Plus Vokey TVD's aren't exactly cheap or well-known so that doesn't really point to a beginner trying to fit in either. Four a side is generous though.. I might take that bet.

[Str8Shot]

I never judge but always wonder if I am being judged. I play at private clubs so everyone is dressed nice but I wear all Nike TW collection ( it fits me awesome) from neck down. I switch up hats. My bag looks like a staff members bag ....sometimes if I go out by myself with a cart ( I usually walk though), I have 2 bags with 2 full sets of irons, different wedge combo's and woods and multiple drivers..etc and even a few shafts to change around. I do this when new equipment is released and I am trying out all my new stuff. I am sure others have judged me on this before thinking 1. I am crazy weird 2. I am extremely good and maybe some type of staff player 3. Snotty or stuck up or 4. Why does he not just try all those clubs out on the range ( well I do but real course conditions is nothing like a range). Reality of it all is I am just out there looking spiffy and matching head to toe...while being extremely comfortable in my featherweight clothing and comfy shoes. My appearance goes over well with the club as one of the best dressed but it is naturally me, and so is my bag with 14 covers on each club ( irons included for all the haters on the iron covers).

I am just out their doing me. I see other popping their collars and know what they want to appear to be, but I still do not technically judge. I may wonder if their game is as good as they make themselves out to be with the way they carry themselves, but never judge on or off the golf course as I would not it done to myself!
