My swing's pretty repetitive, so just need to get the exact distances down.
FT-3 Driver, 3 wood, 5 wood, 3-utility (had a distance gap between my old 3-iron/5 wood and one of Ledbetter's teaching pros that was at a clinic I was at suggested I go with the utility to cover it). EXTRA STIFF shafts on all and driver angled for a slight draw (natural swing path's for a power fade). X-18 irons, kept the Ping putter w/insert (like it and wouldn't trade for anything) and kept the old sand wedge (old Carbite, but it works good enought that I'd rather hit out of sand than chip, so it's staying too).
I have a combo box of the HX tour and HX tour 56's that I'll use once I get the rust off my swing (which is starting Monday). Haven't played those balls yet, but what I'm used to playing are Titleists (been using those since high school golf team... just upgrading to the new ones when they come out with them).
Can't stand Slazenger balls... one of my buddies loves them, I can't hit them for anything. I did however try the Bridgestone's last year and those weren't bad... but still like Titleists better.

I played with the old X-14's when they first came out. They were solid, but I just prefer the feel of forged irons (Playing with the Titleist 735 CM's right now.) I switched drivers for the first time in 6 years a couple months ago. I got the new Callaway Hyper-X driver. I love it, but I am still having a hard time adjusting to the closed clubface. I'm really regretting not getting the Tour version.
Again, I highly recommend the new Tour ix, and I never thought I would play anything other than Titleist.
