Let’s take a look at the gear I currently have in my bag. What’s important to note is that average golfers don’t need the latest and greatest clubs. They cost a lot of money and I can almost guarantee you that they won’t improve your game that much.
I generally recommend buying clubs that are 1-3 years old if you want to get a good value for your dollar. If I have a club that’s working for me, I’ll just keep it in my bag. Here is what the current lineup is like.
Callaway ST Max Driver
This club came out in 2022 and has been in my bag for a full season. It’s been the best driver I’ve ever hit, by far. It has the standard stiff shaft that it came with. I shortened it by 0.5 inches, which has straightened my shots out big time.

Callaway ST Max Fairway Wood
This club came out in 2022 and is still a great option for the price. I play a 5 wood because I find it much easier to hit than a 3 wood. Butch Harmon said most golfers should do the same. Just like my driver, I cut this down by 0.5 inches. I noticed my shots going a lot straighter.

Taylormade M4 Hybrid
This club came out in 2021 and is still super popular, for a good reason. I have both the 4 and 5 version and love them both. You can pick these up for a pretty solid price, so highly recommended.

Taylormade M4 Irons
These clubs came out in 2021 and still stack up to a lot of the newer clubs. If you’re looking for a game-improvement iron set that won’t break the bank, this could be it. Long and straight is what most golfers should be looking for.

Stix Wedge Set
These wedges are from a fairly new company and are marketed toward average golfers. They aren’t the most forgiving wedges on the market and they don’t spin the most, but what you get for the price is pretty tough to beat. They’re pretty similar to the Kirkland wedges but they come with graphite shafts.

Ping ChipR
I also have a chipper club in the bag, and the best option by far is the Ping ChipR. It’s designed to hit bump-and-run shots around the green. It’s got the same loft as a 9 iron and the shaft is as long as a putter. Think half wedge half putter. I’d highly recommend trying one of these clubs if you haven’t.

Wilson Infinite Putter
If you’re looking for a solid putter that isn’t that expensive, this could be the one for you. I’ve tried more expensive putters in the past and I don’t see much of a difference. The only thing might be the way it feels at impact. There are several different head shapes to pick from, so you should find what you’re looking for.

Wilson Triad Balls
If I’m looking to get a bit more spin on my wedge shots, I’ll usually switch to these. I love these balls as well because they fly long and straight. They’re going to cost more money compared to the Velocity, but they’ll bite the greens a little better. Plus, they’re still cheaper than premium balls.

RevCore Cart Bag
If I’m using a cart (push or power), this is the bag I’m using. It’s got way more room than I need and has a premium look and feel with its synthetic leather and 14x full-length club dividers.

Sunday Golf El Camino Bag
Whenever I’m walking the course (without push cart), this is the bag I’m using. It’s from a newer company that makes a range of different sizes. They have traditional Sunday bags (6 clubs), midsize bags (10 clubs), and a full-size bag. It’s not the highest-end bag out there, but with our discount, it’s an awesome value.

Claw Gloves
If you don’t like changing gloves every month or two, I might recommend giving these a try. The palm is a silicone material so it’s not going to dry out and crack. I’ve been able to use the same glove for an entire year (you can wash them). They don’t grip the club as well when they’re wet, but in most cases, they’re pretty comfortable.

Shot Scope V3 GPS
To play better golf, you need to know your distances. Having a device to tell you how far you are from the green or a hazard is super important. You have a couple of options, a laser rangefinder, a golf watch, or a handheld GPS. I normally use a GPS watch because it’s convenient. This one tells you distances and also tracks club stats.
