What’s in the Bag – 2025 Edition (Golf Shop Online)
The head professional at The Golf Shop Online shares his 2025 golf bag setup, prioritizing forgiveness, distance, and playability. Here’s a breakdown of his clubs and gear:
🏌️♂️ Irons: Srixon ZX4
- Game-improvement irons (most forgiving in the ZX lineup).
- Stronger lofts for extra distance.
- Great blend of looks and feel for a balance of performance and playability.
- Setup: Pitching wedge – 6-iron (stops at 6-iron).
🌲 Long Game: Hybrid & Fairway Woods
- Srixon ZX Hybrid (22°)
- Go-to long iron replacement (hits between 180-230 yards).
- Neutral, dark design for a confidence-inspiring look.
- Adjustable hosel, but kept at standard loft.
- Srixon ZX Fairway Wood (15°)
- Replaces his Cleveland HiBore Launch after years.
- Adjustable (can lower to 14°) for more control.
- Covers a range of 220-260 yards depending on the strike.
🛠️ Wedges: Cleveland RTX & CBX4
- Cleveland RTX 50° & 58°
- Sleek players’ wedge with a thin top line.
- Cleveland CBX4 (alternative choice)
- Cavity-back design for extra forgiveness.
- Still deciding between CBX4 vs. RTX for the season.
🏌️♂️ Putter: Cleveland HB Soft 2
- Black finish (preferred look).
- Rounded, oversized head for stability.
- Hole in the middle to pick up the ball easily.
- Deep face milling for soft feel and consistent roll.
⛳ Golf Ball: Srixon Z-Star XV
- Tour-level ball with great feel and performance.
- Cheaper alternative to premium brands like Titleist Pro V1.
- Z-Star Divide version also a favorite for its visual alignment aid.
🏎️ Driver: Srixon ZX5 Mk II Max
- Most forgiving option in the ZX lineup.
- Loft: 9°, but adjusted to 7.5° for lower spin and more distance.
- 50g shaft (lighter than standard 60g) for increased swing speed and faster ball speed.
🏌️ Key Takeaways
✅ Maximizing forgiveness & playability → Game-improvement irons, hybrid, Max driver.
✅ Optimizing distance & speed → Lower lofted driver, 50g shaft, strong lofted irons.
✅ Testing wedges → Torn between RTX (players’ wedge) & CBX4 (forgiveness).
✅ Loyal to Srixon & Cleveland → Complete bag setup from these two brands.
Would you go for a max-forgiveness setup like this, or do you prefer a more traditional players’ bag? ⛳🚀
