Driver: Ping G430 Max, adjusted to 11 degrees flat. Wrote about this in the other thread. Absolute fairway finder.
3W - Callaway X FWY. 15 degrees. Had for more than 10 years. Rarely use it, hence no inclination to upgrade. Mostly use a 2H for long second shots.
2H - Ping G430. 17 degrees. Good strikes gets it over 200m, sometimes over 210. Even misses seem to roll out near 180m, which is why I prefer to the 3W.
4H - Ping G430. 22 degree.
5I -> PW, AW - Callaway Rogue X - Had since 2018. Still doing the job. Lofts are on the strong side, but I only swing the irons a little beyond three quarters, so distances are fine. I do hit my irons high, so they land soft and the short irons get decents spin.
Wedges, 54, 58 - Vokey SM9. Bought late last year, best wedges I have ever hit.
Putter - Taylormade Spider Tour Red with the white alignment line on top. Probably four years old. I have had three putters in thirty years, so I'm not one to change often.
Bag - Titleist carry bag. Had for more than six years. Really durable, I use to turn over carry bags every two years, the lightweight ones fall apart so easily.
Ball - Titeist Pro V1. New ball out of the box every comp round. Only use an old ball for social rounds or playing the Old at the National!
Rangefinder - Bushnell Tour V5 Shift. Actually belongs to my brother, but he never used it, so I kept borrowing and he told me to keep in my bag. Win!
GPS - Garmin Fenix 6X. Not a specific golf watch, so the golf app is not as full featured as the Approach series, but gives me the basics are a glance, and I use the rangefinder for specific information.

Great post. 2 interesting things caught my attention in your set
A: that you've got the Callaway 3Wood in there amongst the Ping Driver & Hybrids.
B: that you're rapt with the SM9 wedges. I've seen a few favourable reviews of them and I'm trying to snap up some late model vokeys on marketplace. Did you have SM4/6/7/8's before you went into the SM9's? Any noticeable differences in the models?

Epic set peternorth.
I've got the same irons, the Mizuno JPX 921 HMP. Have got Project X LZ 6.0 shafts in them which I think are the real stars of the show.
But your putter, wedges and woods are the big show. All on my wish list.
I use to have all Callaway at the top end of the bag. I just don't use the 3W enough to justify the cost of upgrading. I hit the 2H about 10 / 15 meters shorter, but five times more accurate, so it is my go to for anything 200 or above.
The SM9s are the first Vokeys I have owned. I'm pretty sure the upgrade from the SM8 to 9 was pretty minimal, bit like driver upgrades. Year to year it is negligible, but if you compare models 5 years apart you can see the difference.

Driver - Ping G400 Max
3W - Ping G400
3H & 4H - Ping G400
I'm not playing enough to justify an upgrade from the G400's at Retail Prices but I've got an eye on marketplace for a good condition Ping G425 Max or Titleist TSi if I can find a bargain.
Irons are 3i-PW in Mizuno JPX-921 Hot Metal Pro with Project X LZ 6.0 shafts.
Previously played 12 years with Mizuno MP-64's which were pure butter but had the wrong shafts for me (too soft).
Wedges are Mizuno MP-T11 in 50*, 56*, 60*
Putter is a Ping SigmaG B60. Great feel.
Bag is a Ping Hoofer camo-print.
Ball is ever changing. I want to dislike the Titleist ProV's as they're a monopoly but they really do play well. I've been relatively happy with Taylormade TP5 and Bridgestone B XS for stretches of time but haven't stuck with one of them.
Vintage: will forever keep my set of Ping Eye2 Beryllium Copper irons 2i-SW. Play them 1-2 times per year. An absolute classic.

You would get very good money for the full set in decent nick. Legendary clubs.

New club update.
About a month ago I went to Qld for the International Pairs finals. No luck on course, but won the raffle, a brand new Odyssey 2-Ball OG with a stroke lab shaft.
Never used a 2-Ball back in the day, I was a Ping Anser man for 20 years.
I wasn't looking for a new putter, still happy with the Spider, but always like a new toy. Unfortunately the return to the Marsh coincided with the green maintenance, so you could be using a axe handle on cored greens and it wouldn't make a difference. However, on Saturday greens were smooth and true, albeit still slower than normal. Rolled in four putts between 12 - 18 feet, and sunk a bunch of 3 - 5 foot second putts. Only one three putt, and 32 overall. So far, so good, really love the feel and feel I have better distance control over long putts.
Spider still in the car boot, but not inclined to switch back yet.
Have they come in yet? Would love to hear how they are going. They might be the best looking irons on the market right now.
I just purchased online sight unseen a Wilson D9 3 Hybrid 19 degrees.
It was like $140 on Golfbox on clearance and I used a $20 VISA giftcard, so only cost me $120.
I have room in my bag for a 3H, so hopefully this becomes my new club off the tee or on 2nd shots on long holes, while I learn to play a driver. If it can give me 5-10 more metres than my current 22 degree 4H then I'll be happy.
