Okay, so today I want to talk about my Fujikita WITB experience. It all started last week when I saw this post online about a pro golfer, Wesley Bryan, using a mixed set of Takomo irons. I thought, “Hmm, that’s interesting.” I’ve been looking to upgrade my irons for a while, and this got me thinking about mixing and matching.
I did some digging and found out that Bryan’s setup includes a Takomo 101U 4-iron, a 101T 5-iron, and 301 CB irons from 6-iron to 9-iron. The guy also uses True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts. Sounds fancy, right? I don’t really know a lot about shafts and stuff, but it seemed like a good combination of forgiveness and, you know, that ability to shape shots like the pros do.
Then I stumbled upon this website, *. It’s like a database for golf gear nerds. You can see what clubs all the top PGA Tour players are using. I spent hours on there, just browsing through different players’ bags. It’s kinda addictive, you know?
I also found this forum thread where a guy was talking about his new bag and how he loved it, even in the wind and rain. There was another post about some guy named Logan McAllister and his WITB for the 2024 US Open. I even watched a cool video about Rocco Mediate’s WITB. Talk about a blast from the past! The point is, I was consuming all this WITB content, getting more and more inspired.
There was this one story about a golfer who used to take his new clubs apart and rebuild them just to check all the parts and weighting. That’s a bit extreme for me, but it shows the level of detail some people go into.
Then I came across this article about Daniel Berger and his WITB. Apparently, he’s using a set of nine-year-old irons! That’s crazy, right? It just goes to show that you don’t always need the latest and greatest gear to play well. I also read about this other pro golfer, Jon Rahm, and his winning WITB from the 2018 Hero World Challenge. Then I read about Nick Taylor’s WITB, another pro golfer. It had some interesting details about his equipment. There was another article about Tom Kim’s WITB. I think he uses Titleist clubs.
So, after all this research, I decided to create my own Fujikita WITB. It might not be as fancy as the pros, but it’s customized for me. I went to my local golf shop and started testing out different irons. After trying out a bunch of different clubs, I finally settled on a combination that felt good.
Here’s what I ended up with:
- Driver: I stuck with my old driver for now. It’s a bit beat up, but it still works.
- 3-wood: I got a used one from a friend. It’s a couple of years old, but it’s in pretty good shape.
- Irons: This is where it gets interesting. I went with a mixed set, just like Wesley Bryan.
- 4-iron: I found a used Takomo 101U.
- 5-iron: I got a Takomo 101T to match.
- 6-9 irons: I picked up a set of used Fujikita 301 CB irons. They feel amazing!
- Wedges: I’m still using my old wedges. They’re a bit worn, but they get the job done.
- Putter: I splurged a little and got a new putter. It’s a blade style, and I love the feel of it.
I took my new setup to the driving range, and I was hitting the ball pretty well. I’m not gonna lie. It felt great to have a set of clubs that felt right for me. I even played a round with them last weekend, and I shot one of my best scores of the year. It was a bit windy and rainy, but the new irons performed great.
So, that’s my Fujikita WITB story. It was a fun journey of discovery, and I’m really happy with the results. It just goes to show that you don’t need to spend a fortune to get a great set of clubs. Sometimes, a little research and customization can go a long way. Who knows, maybe I’ll even take them apart and rebuild them someday, just for fun.
