This week, we’re shining the spotlight on another MyGolfSpy Forum member, Bill Howard, whose bag features a mix of modern performance and classic reliability. Bill’s journey in golf has been a long one, dating back to his childhood, and his current setup reflects both his dedication to the game and the adjustments he’s made over the years to continue enjoying it.
Let’s take a look at what’s in Bill Howard’s bag:
Driver: TaylorMade Sim2
About the club: Bill recently upgraded to the Sim2 from his old R9 driver. The new driver has delivered a consistent shot shape off the tee, along with some added yardage—exactly what he was looking for. It has a Fujikura Ventus 5-R shaft installed.
3-Wood: TaylorMade R9
About the club: Despite upgrading his driver, Bill has held onto his trusty R9 3-wood. The familiar feel and performance of this club keep it in his bag, providing reliable distance and accuracy when needed. It includes a Fujikura Motore 70 Regular flex shaft.
5-Wood: TaylorMade R540 XD
About the club: Another classic club, the R540 XD 5-wood has been a reliable option for Bill for years. The soft tip shaft helps him with higher, softer landings on approach shots from longer distances. This club has a TaylorMade regular flex, SS M.A.S.2, Mid Torque Soft Tip shaft.
