What are your top equipment or other changes this season?

I am sure that I told a buddy that I was really happy with my bag early in the year and not making any changes. As my golf season is coming to a close it is time for some year end reviewing.

I have made a bunch of changes and want to know what your top moves were this summer?


My best moves were taking a few early lessons and getting the Creation shaft.

TP Hybrid and Vokey wedges. Those made the biggest differnence in scoring potential.

Other than equipment? Spending time analyzing my golf swing and the golf swing... AKA Hogan's 5 lessons. I feel I've seen a "glimpse" or 2... I've got a destination and a road map, that's a start.

I overhauled most of my bag this year but I'd have to say my P2 irons and my putter. I also love the P2 wedges as well, they have been money around the greens and from < 60-75 yds. out. I'm just coming to grips with all the club changes but am happy with everything in the bag now.

The putter has dropped my putts per round by about 4 strokes.

Well, after hitting the superquad, I think that the most important change in equipment for me in years will be finally admitting that I could use a slightly closed face driver. I just need the help with the big dog. Viagra is next, me thinks.

Cally Heavenwood 14* with SK Fiber Tour Trac 100 in S
The Apollo Steel shafts for my Revolution irons.
My 2 Riviera Wedges.

i finally feel really good about my bag and for once am more intent on actually playing and improving than changing clubs.

if one club has made the biggest difference. its the Heavy Putter, no doubt my best purchase of the year.

The 906F2, the Nike Sumo (although have a new driver en route), and going back finally now to my SC (but cut down to 33.5")

other than that, still same wedges and irons, wont be changing wedges for a year or two (but will replace with same wedges), and unless i get a deal on CG1s, dont see me changing irons anytime soon.

I'm sure moving up to the womens tees didnt hurt either.

The Cameron putter is my new favorite club. I am making alot more putts this year. I also ground the sole of my 60* wedge and I have been great from 75 yards and in. The 19* hybrid has been a real surprise, I never thought I would like it, but I hit it great and use it often.

It appears we have the same putter. I love mine too, but have been betrayed by putters before. It is my 4th best addition. The counter weights are ahead of it.
