Been a constant on the WRX WITB but never posted. Really happy with my setup right now so thought I would throw it out there. It's a little messy but everything serves a purpose.

-Titleist GT280. Tensei Blue 70TX(subject to change). Standard length. GP TV cord with 2 wraps.

-Ping G430 19° hybrid. TT DG x100. Heaviest weight available from Ping (think 24g). GP TV plus 4 mid-size.

-Titleist U505 4 utility. Aerotech Steelfiber i110 X. 1 Long 4 up. GP TV cord with 2 wraps.

-Srixon ZX5 5-9. KBS C- Taper 130x. 1 long 4 up. GP TV plus 4 mid.

What do you think of the oversized Bettinardi grip on the Antidote putter?  The shop by me has the Antidote putter but they all have the small Lamkin deep etched putter grip.

I really like it. It's a Lamkin sink fit straight so there's no taper. Not as tacky as a superstroke. I've changed a lot of putter grips looking for the perfect combo but not this one.

What’s the story with the g430 hybrid ? Feel like there must be some history to end up in that setup

The Bettinardi Jumbo grips are nice, but more of a round shape if that’s what you like.

Thanks. The g430 was the first hybrid that could replace my Titleist 585H. Loved that club. Also had a DG X100 shaft. Felt like when I installed the DG in the Ping that the balance was thrown off and could not feel the head. Added more weight to the head. Works well. Super heavy so its keeps my backswing short. Comes off low and penetrating.

Swapped out the SB2 for my LAB Df 2.1 a few weeks ago. The Betti is solid but 1 bad day and you know how it goes. Been rolling the lab really well. Thanks for the comment. Cheers

Couple mid season changes to the bag. I've had my best season in a while but can't help myself. You know how it is. Lol.

 

-Titleist mini driver now has a Fuji Ventus blue TR 8x shaft. Inevitable. The Ventus TR is the best wood shaft out there IMO.

-Ping hybrid now has a Nippon GOST shaft. Stock weight and a little lead tape on the toe. Took a little adjustment but digging it now.

-LAB DF 2.1 back in the bag. Just love this putter. Always wind up going back to it.

-Cheers fellas!

Did you do any weight adjustments when going with a shorter driver shaft?

I did not change the driver weight
