I can honestly say that every club in my bag is there as the result of MGS input.

EthanSterlingPrice

I’m still using a set of Ben Hogan PTx irons from a forum test a few years back. Still love them and haven’t seen anything to change that.#N#Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Nothing from testing. I think I was one of the guys Rev was speaking of about the Exotics fwy metals. I’ve been using them for about 8 years, I’ve replace a broken XCG5 3 wood (my fault), with an XCG6 3 wood, I have a 5 wood that I use occasionally, a 22 hybrid and 19 hybrid, that I use as well.

My Driver (LST) and Hogan Ft. Worth irons, HI irons and wedges are all a result of MGS.

Longest thing I had from a review was the Precision Pro NX7 from a few years ago... until I left it attached to the side of a cart that got returned at the end of last season

Lacassem

Have had 1 testing so far and while I did not keep them (G710 irons) my dad has them now @Placasse61 and I think they’ll be in his bag for a long time. Pretty sure he’s becoming a PING advocate as he has now purchased several other PINGS (410 driver and glide wedges)

B.Boston

Hmmm well I wouldn’t usually flip through clubs as quickly as I did last year, but I changed putters to the ER2B technically as the year began because of the reviews here and interesting face tech story. And then was chosen for #CCC4, so yeah....

There are strong similarities in the top of the even bag between different ability levels.

Where The Differences Exists

Despite having 14 spots in the bag to fill, the biggest difference between high and low handicap bag composition is found in the three clubs between the longest fairway wood and the 5-iron. Those are slots invariably filled by some combination of fairway woods, hybrids, and long irons.

The Next Frontier?

The survey data we collected hints that a slow, but not unexpected, migration from the 4-Iron to the 4-hybrid underway, but what about higher lofted hybrids?

The Specialty Wedge

We offered survey respondents the opportunity to select specialty wedges along with the standard gap, sand, lob options. Here’s what we learned from those responses.

Other Observations

Among the individual groups surveyed, the 11 to 15 and 16 to 20 handicap ranges are the most similar.

Make It Simple

Don’t let your clubs get organized too, this can make it extremely frustrating when you are out playing and you can’t find the club you want.

Some Tips

Golf head sleeves, I owned these for a while. Until I lost half of them, then I threw the rest away because my bag looked kinda silly.

Funny Thoughts

Now that I’m writing about golf club arrangement, I’m wondering if anyone arranges their bag completely unorganized?

The Next Frontier?

  • The survey data we collected hints that a slow, but not unexpected, migration from the 4-Iron to the 4-hybrid underway, but what about higher lofted hybrids? 7-hybrid use appears minimal. It’s just over 5% among 30+ handicap golfers, with no other group above 2%. 5 and 6 hybrid usage is a bit more revealing. 1. Data suggests iron use still dwarfs hybrid use at 5 & 6 iron equivalents, bu…

The Specialty Wedge

  • We offered survey respondents the opportunity to select specialty wedges along with the standard gap, sand, lob options. Here’s what we learned from those responses. 1. Only 91% of golfers with handicaps of 3 and under-reported carrying a PW – by far lowest in the survey. 2. That’s odd until you consider that roughly 9% within that same group report carrying either a 46° …

Other Observations

  1. Among the individual groups surveyed, the 11 to 15 and 16 to 20 handicap ranges are the most similar.
  2. Not surprisingly given what we’ve learned about where bag composition differs, the greatest differences between those two groups are found in usage rates between 4-hybrid/4-iron and 5-hybrid/ 5-iron.
