About The 2016 Hot List
A recent survey by golf-industry-researcher Golf Datatech showed that the average serious golfer spends nearly $900 a year on equipment. And a third of those spend more than $1,000. With that kind of money at stake, your search should have a guide.

Have a look if you're average and serious.

Those Mizuno S5 Wedges are intriguing.

below average a nd proud of it

I predict Edel golf will sell a few of "The Brick" putters this year.

The only I would be interested this year is a driver and I have not bought a new OEM driver Since back in the '90's when Callaway came out with their new Big Bertha Ti driver. So what ever is new this year I might purchase off Ebay in a couple years. I am average for an old guy, but I certainly don't spend $1,000 each year on equipment.

At the current state of my game, nothing on the market will make a meaningful difference.
I had also passed the show and tell stage of my life.
When I go out on the golf course these days, I just want to have a good time instead of grinding to get lower.

Joke is, I used to stand on each tee box thinking of birdie then perhaps changed my strategy after the tee shots; now I really don't care much in that regards, a par is fine, a birdie does not excite me much, and a bogie will not take away my appreciation of being able to play golf.

So not much excitement could be generated in getting new equipment for this golfer. Bought a "new" driver several years ago 15 months after it's introduction. It's as good as any of the newer driver these days.

I still tinker with shafts and swing weights and..... but again, not as often as I used to. Looking at the stuffs in the garage, I may let them go some days.

There might be some things on this year's list that I'd consider in a couple of years. While I buy far too much equipment, any OEM stuff is usually at least 2-3 years old -- once in a while something a little newer from RBG or one of the other liquidators. I'll buy new components far more readily. I'm going to try to stick with what I have this year -- we'll see how that goes.

I would sure like a new driver this year, but like others here, it would be a model a year or two old.
I think I have 3 sets of irons I can rotate in and out of the bag and a set of iron heads I could shaft up, so am OK there - plus I have at least 15 wedges that all work about the same for me -hit or miss.

Can't feel the heat from the hot list........ burnt out from too many and too soon.

Although, I did find out I could not play a set of irons with regular flex graphite shaft. I got a set of new "old stock" super game improvement irons after my injury, and yest it did helped somewhat in the first 10 months after the surgery but, I don't have any short games with it, just too whippy.

I don't know if I should sell it or wait until I'm 70 to try it again.

    One of the best super game improvement iron set in it's time.
    MacTec NVG 2 MID. Tungsten, 360 cup face, Triple Action Dual Kick Point graphite, 65 gm, 3.4 torque.
    I have it in 3-PW
    Got it 6 months ago and played a handful of times. It's great when I was recovering, now it's a bit soft than I like.
    Came brand new with plastic wraps on the grips and heads.

    It's longer than the Rifle 6.0 or the Apex 4 I had. I have to close the club face at address in order not to leave it open at impact but, hook it sometimes because of it.
