Bridgestone J33R 8.5* with an Accuflex Creation 80

First off, I have not yet seen this club's equal when it comes to looks. I'm sure anyone who has hit a J33 will agree. Just a fantastic, simple design. This thing launches low, spins very little, and goes a very long way. The creation feels stiff, but then it kicks a bit through impact. It brings up the launch just enough, but still doesn't spin. Long, medium trajectory, flat bombs. This is 10-15 yards longer than ANY other combo I have hit. The only drawback is that this club is not very forgiving at all. Misshits are 20 yards shorter, which is still pretty long. When I'm hitting it well, I get 10 yard draws, when I'm not, I get the occasional block and big, nasty hooks. All in all, a great club, but not forgiving.

Ping doc 15

First thought was that this thing won't fit into my sunday bag. It does, barely. I love the headcover, the magnetic closure is great. At only 33" this putter felt really light to me, so I added a bunch of tape until it felt right. And then I putted worse with it. I have no distance control at all. However, finding the correct line is not a problem. I can't tell you how many birdie putts would have dropped if they had gone 3 more revolutions in my last few rounds. I'll still hang onto this, but the TP Mills will probably see more time in the bag.

Taylormade r7 ht 9.5* with my fav. shaft, the Stulz Nano

This club has an open face, by my bad eyesight. It launches higher than the tp 9.5 I have hit, but lower than the regular r7 I've hit. Does anyone know why? Whatever, I can hit a cut with it.
Looks great, more forgiving than the Bridgestone, and can hit a cut. Good in my book. I was complaining yesterday that the clubmaker installed this a bit crooked, but it plays great.

Taylormade Burner tp 14.5* with an Accuflex Evolution

Another taylormade with an open face. But I hook this one. A lot. No idea why. Today I may have fixed it, but obviously that is no guarantee it will work tomorrow. Love the shaft, love the club, don't love the ballflight. But it's staying in the bag, because if I hook this, I'll hook anything.

Srixon wg 504 60* bent to 58*

I got this from Eracer, and it was a very good trade, for me. Low bounce, still quite floppable, and I think it will be perfect for chipping off the hardpan we get around here in the summer. It feels very soft, and pitches bite very well. On full shots I need to try to control the spin if I'm using a 3 piece ball though. Great wedge, I love the black finish.

If anybody wants some pics, I'll get some up in a bit.
