@ajlohmanThis is my current setup. It’s a mix of fitting decisions, a few experiments, and some ongoing tweaks as I try to dial in consistency across the bag. I’m not chasing distance as much as I used to. The focus right now is control, predictable ball flight, and having clubs I trust when I’m standing over the ball. My stock shot is a slight fade, and my miss tends to be left, so a lot of these choices are built around managing that. I picked up the Tour Edge E725 driver after seeing it perform well on MyGolfSpy. I swapped out the stock Denali Black 60X for a Graphite Design Tour AD GC-6 X shaft that I was fit into previously, and I’ve got the weight set in the fade position. It’s doing exactly what I hoped it would. I’m hitting more fairways and keeping the ball in play, but I’ve definitely given up some distance, which lines up pretty closely with what I read going in. I decided to try out Sub70 Golf fairways and went with the 959X line. The 4 wood is turned down to about 14.5°, which opens the face a bit. I really like the look at address, but I don’t rely on it much. When it comes out, it’s usually off the tee. The 7 wood has been the surprise. I’ve never gamed one before, but it’s been really solid so far. Easy launch, lands soft, and fills a nice spot in the bag. Both are paired with the Project X Denali Blue 70 6.5 shaft. For a stock option, it’s been impressive. High launch, plenty of carry. I may look for something a bit lower launching in the 4 wood down the line. This is the one club I’m still questioning. It’s a 5 hybrid from the same 959X line, added to try to bridge the gap between the 5 iron and 7 wood. I didn’t get fit for it, and it shows a bit. My typical miss is left, so I’ve got it set 4° open, which helps, but I’m still not convinced it earns a permanent spot in the bag. This is where things really came together. I started with the Sub70 699 Pro V3 with MMT 105 S shafts, but the high launch and strong lofts didn’t suit my game. That led me into a full fitting where I tested a few different heads, including a Srixon ZXi7 irons / Srixon ZXi5 irons combo, Sub70 659 CB, and 669 TC. I ultimately decided on the Sub70 669 TC irons. The head was a big part of that decision. They have a really clean shape at address and a puttery soft feel that stood out right away. Paired with the LA Golf A-Series Low 105i X shaft, the whole setup gives me a much more controlled launch window, tighter dispersion, and a more consistent feel throughout the set. This is the most confident I’ve felt with my irons. I went with the Sub70 287 wedges in 52°, 56°, and 60°, all bent 1° weak. These have been as solid as anything in the bag. Really versatile, easy to control, and they handle pretty much any shot I need around the greens. No complaints here. I rotate putters more than anything else, and right now I’m gaming the BGT Paradox mallet putter based on a recommendation. This is still a work in progress. My miss tends to be right, and I’ve noticed I’m forward pressing more than usual with this putter to try and start the ball on line. Still figuring it out. Still evolving, but this setup is getting closer to what I want. More control, fewer big misses, and better scoring opportunities.
@coleturfPretty much everything in the bag is Sub70 at this point. Driver, woods, hybrids, irons, wedges, even the putter. I’ve just had really good experiences with their stuff, so I kept leaning into it. The top of the bag is solid and easy to hit. The woods and hybrids give me a lot of options depending on the shot, and I like having both hybrids in there for gapping. Irons feel great and are really consistent. Nothing crazy, just clubs I trust and know what I’m going to get out of them. Wedges are simple and cover what I need around the greens. Same idea as the rest of the bag. Putter is the Sycamore 010 and it’s been great so far. I've always played a center shafted putter. Ball is Tour Soft. Nothing too complicated, just a full Sub70 setup that’s been working.
Nothing too special here, just a setup I’ve stuck with for a while. I’ve been playing most of these clubs for years and never felt a strong reason to change anything. Up top, the Cobra driver, fairway, and hybrid have been solid. They do what I expect and give me a consistent ball flight, so I’ve just kept them in the bag. Everything is still on stock shafts, nothing complicated. The AP1 irons have been really dependable. They’re easy to hit, distances are predictable, and they’ve just always worked for me. Same story with the wedges. The Vokeys cover what I need around the greens without overthinking it. Putter is a Scotty Cameron Red X that I’ve had for a long time. It’s one of those clubs I don’t really think about anymore, I just trust it. Ball is Pro V1x and has been for a while. Overall, it’s a simple bag. Nothing dialed to the extreme, just clubs I’m comfortable with and know how they’re going to perform.
Went with Sub70 after a recommendation from my son and it’s worked out really well. As I’ve gotten a little older, I was looking for something that would help with launch and consistency. The 699 Pros with the MMT shafts have definitely helped get the ball up a bit more, and I’ve noticed the same thing with the wedges. Up top, I’ve kept it simple with the Ping G400 driver and a set of Cobra Baffler hybrids. The hybrids give me a lot of options and are just easier for me to hit consistently than long irons. All lefty clubs, which can make things a little more limited, but this setup has come together nicely. The rest of the bag is pretty straightforward. Nothing too complicated, just clubs that are easy to hit and do what I expect. Putter is a Newport 2 that I’ve had for a while and still trust. Overall, it’s a mixed setup that’s been working well and makes the game a little easier.
