This is my first WITB post as I'm pretty new to the site.  I just got my new bag to kick the 2013 season off. I had an Ogio Chamber bag and recently sold it and picked up the new Sun Mountain C-130 in Lime/Pine/Black.  Kinda into the green this year I think.

So here is my bag set up:
Ping G20 Driver 9.5
RBZ Hybrid 3 19*
Taylormade rescue 5 23.5*
Ping G15 Irons 4-U
Adams 56*
Cleveland 60*
Scotty Cameron Newport Select 1.5
Titleist Pro V1 and 1x balls
Iomic Sticky 2.3 and 1.8 Grips (No1 grip on the RBZ, gonna switch it out soon)
Nikon Octane range finder

I have some Masda Golf Slick Fit grips on the way from japan that I'm going to test out on the RBZ and the Hybrid.  If I like them better than the Iomc I'm gonna switch them all out. I have seen some old posts about the Masda grips but not much. Ill put up some pics and review when I get them.

I love my gear for this year. The only thing else I'm going to change out is my beat up Cleve 60* and the Adams 56*. One was a prize and the other a hand me down. I've ordered some Vokey 56* and 60* to replace them.



Grip up


















I just got 6 dozen Pro V1's from the 2012 Players Championship practice, for the price of 2 doz......


I work from home so this is my office practice spec

your new bag looks sharp!

How do you like the grip on your rbz fairway. How does it compare to say a tour velvet?

I liked the feel of the No1 grip out of the box. It is the 48 Series from No1 and I had a 50 Series on my driver.
There is a pretty good right up on golfwrx (ill find it later) about the No1 Grip from someone who has had the Iomic as well.

I didnt like the 50 series as it was too "squishy".  The grooves are a little deeper than the 48. But even the 48 feels a little "squishy". I think I like the smoother feel of the Iomcs a little better.  The No1 is a very sticky feeling grip but I cant give you a comparison to the tour velvet as I have not used them. I'm going to do an update when I get the Masda, should be a week or so.

Also you can see in this pic that the No1 is starting to wear at the point where my left thumb sits under my right palm.

Great bag. Seems like you like to change the feel in your grips depending on the club you're using.

Nice bag. I really like your hat collection as well.

I'm kind of a gadget/accessory nerd. So last year when I stopped playing adult (old man) baseball and wanted to focus on golf as my outdoor competitive hobby.  I hadn't really touched my golf set up in years as I only played a hand full of times per year before then. I played my old old Ping clubs that I had bought used more than 10 years ago. The I tried a combo set of Adams MB2 and A12 pro that were given to me but my skill didn't match those very well.  I had gripped them with Iomic at the time and then when I switched to the G15's I continued with the Iomics.  While searching around in my nerdness, I came across the No1's and only tried them on my woods.  They are good but I like the smooth feel of the Iomic. Now I'm going to try the Masda Slick Fit.  Based on that I will either switch to them on all clubs or stay with and add Iomics to the rest of my clubs so they all match.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one to catch the hats. I like them as well! The Ping hat is calling me

UA did a good job with that hat. The material is pretty sick. I think I'm going to get a couple other colors in it.  I don't normally like the "flex type fit" hats as even the large size seems small. I wear a 7 1/2 - 7 5/8 and the Ping fits and feels great.

Wow that's a crazy colorway, I really like it.  I picked up a c130 last year and love it.  That white and green hat is sweet too, where'd you get that?  Agree completely the no1 is a little squishy, I have one on a hybrid.  All my grips wear in that spot the most, even the multi compounds.  I have the same problem with hats too, until recently the l/Xl flex fits were always too small.  I'm hoping more of my buddies stop the adult baseball and softball to focus on golf too, I play both but might stick to just golf this year as I enjoy it more.  Getting weird so ill stop with the similarities, must be my brother from another mother.

No way, thats sweet!  Nice cars, take a lot of $$$ to keep running unfortunately.  I could have kept going too, I also work from home and have the same bookcase in black with my clubs leaning against them right now, crazy!  Thanks for the PM, that guy has a TON of stuff.
