Help me with my next purchases!!

irvtrain · January 18, 2011

So I have a limited budget and I am looking to turnover all my clubs except putter throughout the year.

Current Driver is Adams 9015D: I would prefer a driver head that has the possibility of changing out shafts like the Superdeep or even the Evolver. I would like to try a couple different shafts along with my current shafts. But if there is a driver out there that is low spin and hot off the face than I would be willing to sacrifice the interchangeable shafts. I may even consider just sticking with the 9015D.

Current Fairways are Adams 5050 13* and 16*: I love both and change out each one with the type of course I am playing. I would prefer a 14* or 15* head as the 13* is nice off the tee but unreliable off the deck and the 16* is great off the deck but the yardage is too close to my 18* hybrid. Looking at TEE CBs, and Adams but open to anything.

Current hybrid is Sonartec MD 18*: Ok hybrid, but I need something that lands a little softer. Looking at Adams Pro Black but open to just about any Adams or players hybrid.

Current gamer irons are MP-37s and MP-60s are my backups: 60s used to be gamers but realized I am just a better ball striker with blades. So looking at MP-68s but I am open to any blade that is a quality forging, has a thin sole, and C of C grooves.

Current wedges are Vokey SM: Looking at Mizuno MP-T 11, Vokey, and Cleveland DSG. Would love to go with Scratch but budget is pretty limited.

Putter is YES! Donna and stays.

Thanks for all your help guys.

Look at the mizuno mp titanium fairway woods. They have the same face technology as the tee's and are really long.

As for hybrids, if you can find one, the adams pnt2 are amazing. The rounded sole is more playable to me than most adams hybrids. Stupid easy to hit high and long.

Check out the Callaway DET. Very nice feel and hot as ****! My carry distance is 30 yards longer than the 909f3 I have lol...

Mizuno sounds interesting. Is the Adams Pnt 2 tour issue? I heard the retail version tended to hook. Both sound like winners and definitely will check them out.

I didn't even think of the DET. How does it perform off the tee? How does it perform off the deck? I want a 3 wood that will be good off the tee but also has the ability to stop fairly quickly off the deck to hold some greens. My Adams 13* is impossible to control distance off the deck, but the 16* is reliable. I am looking for the right mix so to speak.

Yes, the pnt2 is tour issue. YOu can sometimes find them on the bst here, I got mine for about 120 with 904hb shaft. It is totally different from the original idea pro, which I hooked badly. The pnt2 does not go left for me.
