favorite wedge - you can only pick ONE!
Chikara V1's Illegal grooves but lots of fun shredding balls with it... I use the 52 Gap a lot from full pitches to short chips around the green. very forgiving yet has that solid feel on impact.

Honma at PGA Tour Superstore
I watched the ad for the G1X and learned that the loft lie adjustments don't require a shaft rotation - this should be how all adjustable sleeves function! Why stay away from this? Poorly made?

A-GRIND UT PROTO
I love the original A-Grind UT with the smaller head, looks like those Adams Pro hybrids but more forgiving a much more beautiful. Have been using bigger hyrids in the past and while it was great off the deck the bigger heads are not as easy to hit out of thick rough, which the original A-Grind UT had no issue with. I think the original A-Grind UT is a great replacement for long irons for all lies, while the A-Grind UT Proto with the bigger head may be better for replacing a FW for use off the tee/deck.

name your gamer driver heads .
Honma TW717 430 (summer) Kamui KP-X (winter) Honma is very satisfying and has a noting flight but the Kamui is way more fun to hit.

bstnyc's 2016 bag~
Driver and bag looks awesome! Is that a "speed slot" in the 3w?

Irons - forgiveness & length
At some point I might opt to replace my 3 iron with the Yamaha UD+2. Tested a 7i (27* lol) which is my regular 5i but carried longer and higher with better stopping power. It's very easy to hit and very hot off the face.

The RomaRo Ray UT launches mid-high with a penetrating flight, even with a low launch shaft like D+ 92x. It's perfect for the wet / cold conditions I'm playing in right now when balls don't carry as far and feels like rocks (5-10*c). Compared to other USD hybrids I've gamed (TM R9/R11s/RBZ2 3W and Adams Super LS) the Ray UT isn't that big at all. I think in summer conditions this UT will carry as far as my 3w, as the titanium cup face is very hot even in cold conditions. I hit a lot of shots into strong head wind and it only carried 5-10 yards shortwe than my normal UT. The 3w, on the other hand, is very long on flushed shots but misses are punishing short. It's a bit demanding at 3w length so I might grip down and play it like 2UT

MOI Matching!!! many of you are missing out on this technology
There is a series of profiles for different golfers.of course I can't share it but it seems to be based on math + traditional fitting parameters More info Http://bit.ly/1LGZTkm

Softest stickiest grips???
Pure pro
-
Urgent... Best wet weather grips bar none are??..
PURE pro for me. Smooth feeling, gets tackier when wet. If you like cord feel Pure DTX - really rough feeling!

Wedge shafts, what do you use and why..
My Chikara wedges have S400, Kasco has X100. Both are heavy but works for me as i need accuracy not distance. I have tried as light as KBS tour-v (110g) and while they were easy to hit it was too light an I have tendency to pull my shots.

MOI Matching!!! many of you are missing out on this technology
I also once did an online fitting using True Length Technology (TLT) Using math to calculate ideal lengths bases on my measurements and postures. I never built a set based on this because I was too much risk with expensive shafts. Here were my recommended lengths Club / Length / Lie 1 39.67 55 Hybrid @ 57 2 39.20 56 Hybrid @ 58 3 38.75 57 Hybrid @ 59 4 38.32 58 Hybrid @ 60 5 37.92 59 Hybrid @ 61 6 37.53 60 7 37.16 61 8 36.82 62 9 36.48 63 P 36.17 64 (including G/S/L)

MOI Matching!!! many of you are missing out on this technology
Both my bags are set so I don't want to mess with them.. But I do have a set of component iron / wedge heads and parallel shafts which I could experiment with. If I use .375 gaps in my irons/wedges will I be able to approximate close to MOI matching? I don't want to buy an MOI machine. I also vaguely remember MOI matching starts with your favorite iron, for me that's the 8 iron. The component heads I have have about 7 to 8 g gaps... standard i guess. anything else I need?

wedges!
SEVEN is a TSG house brand, it's not sold in retail. Titleist Forged wedges are only sold in Japan, so not you won't be able to test those either. You'll just have to buy one and test it, if now sell it on BST here =)

A grind driver and Fw would be a nice backup to have.... but a man can only have so many clubs (that gets gamed)

Neova's WITB 2015
Thanks! I can easily bag the a-grind fw and driver, but my honma / fourteen works so not going to mess with it =)

Neova's WITB 2015
I thought long about the a grind hybrid because I didn't hit any iron shaped utility very well in the past. However my wood based hybrids roll too much so it was hard to hold the green on approach. The a grind launches very easy and gave me the stop and drop ball flight i never had before with a hybrid. The yardage template is my own - i did a lot of indoor club testing with HD Golf then exported the raw data into Excel, and made the chart. Took me a couple seasons to really verify the numbers as I had changed swings and equipment so much. I'm done hoing for now which is why I decided to finally do a WITB. ...

Neova's WITB 2015
See my signature for details Summer Bag (warm weather) Minimal offset and smaller heads for workability and feedback. I use this set almost exclusively in summer months except for travel and league play. The PX 6.0 4-Pw were soft stepped once to help with feel as the combination of PX and MB is a bit harsh. The Pxi 6.0 in the 3 iron really launches high and the Tour Issue S400 in the PW really keeps the ball low with good spin. I kinda made my own version of flighted shafts without the silly descending weight like the OEM PX Flighted. I also decided to try the same shafts in PW, GW and LW as an experiment which I'm liking so far. No more changes for this bag! Winter (cool weather) + Travel Bag (Updated February 9, 2016) Added: Honma TW717 455 9.5* Driver | Honma TW717P 3-4, TW717V 5-10 | Honma Tour Stand BagI needed a more versatile setup during inclement weather or when I travel so heads with a touch more offset and more durable (non-black) face was the choice. The hybrid and woods are slightly larger size in volume to those in the summer bag but have a shallower face with shafts that are a tad higher launch. The irons are combo player's Pocket Cavity (3-4) and Cavity Back (5-10) and are all shod with Modus 3 120 straight in which are lighter (114g) than my PX 6.0 (120g) but will be welcomed in colder conditions when I can't effectively load the 6.0 shafts. The wedges have a custom grind (by myself) to give it a bit more heel relief as it was too difficult to play off tight lies in the original grind.
