Ball:
I've changed balls thanks to Jeff Hull and his connections at Bridgestone. I'm playing the B330. They also sent me a Tour bag, which I call my NASCAR bag, because you can't find another possible location for a logo. So, I'll be on ball, bag, glove, and hat staff.

Irons:
I'm playing the 5-PW in the Mizuno MP 53's, the newer version of the irons I played last year. The irons are amazing, and the new model is much better in the longer irons, where the cavity has been improved.

Wedges:
I had to change to the MP T-11, 52, 56, and 60. It's the new version of what I played last year. The only difference is the legal grooves, to comply with the rule change.

Fairway Woods and Hybrid:
I feel like a kid at Christmas. I have my tracking number for my new woods to be delivered tomorrow by UPS. I'll be playing the new Mizuno JPX 800 15 degree 3 wood, 18 degree 5 wood, and 19 degree hybrid. My rep. came to my place last week and let me hit the new product. I was impressed to say the least. Mizuno has been hot and cold with their woods. As a result, I played the Tour Edge Exotic CB2 fairway woods for a long time. The new Mizuno woods are the best I've seen. There was no question that they were going in the bag, and the Tour Edge were Ebay'ed.

Putter:
I'll be buried with my custom Bettinardi. It's 33 1/2 inches long, 74 degrees (4 up), and 395 grams. It was a custom belly putter head made for J.B. Holmes. But, I use the head on a short putter shaft. I wanted the weight, top and back lines, the upright lie, the face grooves, and the face balancing. And, he made it precisely like I wanted.
Driver:
My only question is which driver will be in play. I've been sent a Taylor Made R11 9 degree with a Diamana 'ahina, stiff shaft. I've used it, and it's very good. My other option is the Mizuno JPX 800 9 degree with a Grafalloy Axis, stiff shaft. The demo felt great but the shaft didn't match my loading. So, we're trying the Axis. I've been offered $1000 to play one of them, but the money doesn't matter. If one is better than the other, it will be in the bag.
