How this 2-handicap found the greatest 5-iron ever | Fully Fit 2026

Welcome to Fully Fit 2026, GOLF’s new platform for providing you with real-golfer insights into what 2026 gear might be best suited for your game. To this end, we assembled six GOLF content creators of varying abilities and ran them through the gauntlet of six full-bag fittings (driver to putter!) at six major club manufacturers in Phoenix and Carlsbad, Calif. Our hope: that you might see shades of your own game in one of our panelists’ and take some learnings and inspiration from their fitting experiences. In this installment (below), GOLF Associate Equipment Editor Jack Hirsh runs you through his new bag. You may browse our other panelists’ 2026 dream bags here:

About my game

I’ve been playing golf pretty much my whole life, but my best years were coming out of college when I got down to a +1 handicap from late 2020 to 2021, when I was living in Oregon. That was when I qualified for my only state amateur — the 2021 Oregon Amateur at Bandon Trails — and finished second-to-last (ouch!). Ever since, I’d like to get back to that level. Where I’m at now is a frustratingly consistently inconsistent .7 to 2.0 index, where I far too often turn E through 14 into 75 or +2 through 14 into 78 or 79. Most of those poor finishes come from a lack of trust and loss of attention.

While I’m fortunate to have plenty of speed (around 115 mph clubhead speed), that only came into my game in college, and I learned to get the ball in the hole around the greens. But having recently moved from Philadelphia to Boston and spent much of the fall either wrapping up a three-year stint coaching or moving, my hands have lost a little touch. Still, I like to think there isn’t a shot around the green that I can’t hit with a wedge, 8-iron, hybrid, mini driver!

When it comes to my ball striking, I play a draw, but I deathly hate a left miss. That may seem counterintuitive, but it’s mostly about start line for me. I usually hit the ball with an inside-out path, so I know it will usually move right-to-left. When it starts left is when I get into trouble and worse because I start to play with fear of that left miss. Putting has been an interesting experiment lately, as I only got my first true putter fitting this year and I totally switched styles of putters I was using. As of the beginning of Fully Fit, I was going to test using a low-torque putter for six months before going back to a traditional face-balanced blade.

My golf goals for 2026

Heading into Fully Fit 2026, my goals for next year are simple. I’d like to get back to a plus-handicap for the first time in five years, and I’d like to play in and make the cut at a state mid-amateur and I’d like to play in the 2026 U.S. Mid-Amateur at Sand Valley’s Lido. That last one is lofty, but I feel like if I play without fear of a left miss and regain my touch around the greens, it’s not outside of the realm of possibilities.

What I learned from 6 fittings in 9 days!

The biggest thing I learned from all six of my fittings during Fully Fit 2026 was to expect the unexpected and not be resistant to change. While my bag shook out largely how I expected it to before we started the week, there were many elements that I would have been hesitant to embrace several years ago.

For starters, the two obvious best performers for me with putters were low-torque putters. Even if you had asked me six months ago, I would have never considered using a low-torque putter and I wouldn’t have been able to fully commit to it. Now I know that my stroke works really well with onset putters and because of that, I’ve found myself making a lot more putts!

The second example is with shafts. Every shaft in my bag with the exception of my mini driver and hybrid — which were my two favorite clubs coming into the week — are different. I had played Project X 6.5 shafts in my irons since college and no one had ever seriously offered me another option until both Brandon Dooley at TaylorMade and Andrew Lusty at Cobra pulled out the Nippon Modus 120 X for me to hit. The Modus shafts did two key things for me: They have a higher balance point, which took my half-inch long irons from D5 swingweight to a more standard D3 and probably not unrelated, they took a lot of my left miss out and had a more right start line. I was hesitant to get away from a the only shaft I’ve known my adult life, but I think my game is really going to see the benefits. I had a similar example with my driver shaft because the TaylorMade driver fitting by Chandler Carr was the only one that put me in a different shaft from the TR Blue I had been playing.

Lastly, I was fit into the Vokey V grind last year and loved it because I knew it helped steeper players like me, but when I went to get fit for my new set of Vokey SM11s, Louis Raynard fit me into the M grind, something I never imagined I would play. I actually thought I fought with him a little bit until I got comfortable with the idea and really started to allow myself to like the grind and the way it was interacting with the turf. The spin around the greens instantly ticked up, something that had been a struggle for me previously when I needed.

The 1 club I can’t live without

I was very happy with my set of irons coming into Fully Fit as I had just been fit into them this past summer and used them to finish runner-up in my club championship. But I came into this experiment thinking the Cobra 3DP MB irons were going to make a run at them and boy was I right.

What really sets these 3DP MBs apart for me was just how effortlessly they launch up in the air. I never have had a problem getting a ball into the air, but not feeling like I will ever have to “lift” the ball at impact seemed to really help me stay down and through the ball. Where I really noticed it is down at the 5-iron, which in my previous was where I switched to a larger, more forgiving model. With the 3DP MB 5-iron, I effortlessly launch the ball through whatever window I want and have no trouble hitting my ball speed, even on misshits.

Now to the rest of my bag!

Golf ball

Titleist 2025 Pro V1 with Enhanced Alignment

Titleist Pro V1 Aim Enhanced Golf Balls

Along with all the same performance benefits as 2025 Pro V1, Pro V1 AIM Enhanced golf balls feature a premium, extended alignment sidestamp for more precise aim and accuracy. The elongated sidestamp provides a built-in visual aid measuring over 65% longer than the Titleist standard sidestamp. Why Play Pro V1? Pro V1 is recommended to players who are looking for mid-trajectory flight, very low long game spin and maximum short game spin, with softer feel. Comparison to Pro V1x Due to its unique dimple pattern, Pro V1 has a lower flight than Pro V1x. A softer gradient core produces a softer feel and slightly less spin than Pro V1x.

Why it’s in my bag: The only thing I could have wanted more out of my golf ball was a little more spin around the greens, but I got that by going to a different grind for my lob wedge around the greens. I hit the ball high and spin it plenty, so using a ball that keeps my spin and peak height in check, but still spins enough for when I need to get a ball to stop, is all I need. Plus, I love the feel, and that’s usually the first eliminator for me.

This year, I’m also going to start using Titleist’s AIM Enhanced alignment side stamp. I always putt with a Sharpie line and a dot on my golf ball. I’m still going to do that, but in toying around with Enhanced Alignment, I found the thicker line to start gives me a better idea of where I’m lining up.

Why it’s in my bag: Let me preface this by explaining I have played a TaylorMade driver since the M3 in 2018. I actually struggled a good bit during my TaylorMade fitting when it came to the driver, so much so that we had to stop and come back to it later. Due to my own bias, I was probably trying to make things work, despite knowing the driver was going to be super competitive this year.

The Qi4D was the only head I struggled with the Fujikura Ventus TR Blue in, the same shaft I fit into with every other head. But finally, my fitter, Chandler Carr, pulled out the Whiteboard, a shaft I’ve really never used much before, and we started getting the right ball flight and tight draw I’ve been looking for. Interestingly enough, I am a “Low Rotation” player according to TaylorMade’s new fitting ideology, but the Whiteboard 73 X is listed a “High Rotation” shaft. Mitsubishi shafts run slightly softer than others, which is why Chandler pulled the TX flex, which, despite being the same shaft, acts like a “Low Rotation” shaft at my speeds.

Putting some of the weight in the toe also helped me with getting my desired ball flight. There are just so many ways to fit this driver to what you need.

So far in playing this driver, the speed has been everything I could want and removing the fear of left has made it so much easier to work the ball both ways off the tee. That’s something I feel like I need to do to play my best golf.

1 key data point: ±165 rpm spin standard deviation on 8 shots. Even when I don’t hit this driver well, I’m amazed to see that the spin almost never drops below 2100 and almost never climbs above 2900. That’s really crucial if I’m ever trying to hit a fade, I can be confident that I won’t spin on up into the wind, and I can be sure my toe misshits won’t dive out of the air. This is all tied to TaylorMade’s new tighter roll radius on the Qi4D. The number above takes out two balls where I came out of the swing and didn’t finish it (a common thing I do in simulators), hitting it off the bottom of the face. Those balls didn’t get above 3000 rpm.

Mini Driver

Head: TaylorMade r7 Quad Mini
Shaft: Fujikura OG Ventus TR Blue 7-X
Loft: 13.5˚ @ 12.75˚
FCT setting: 1 Click Lower (2.0˚ sleeve)

TaylorMade R7 Quad Custom Mini Driver

PERFORMANCE FOR THE MODERN PLAYER Inspired by one of the most iconic models in TaylorMade history, the R7 Quad Mini Driver pays homage to what’s come before, while creating its own modern identity in the same breath. It’s that very modern design that incorporates proven TaylorMade technologies to give golfers versatility and playability. R7 QUAD WEIGHTING SYSTEM The new quad weighting system features four movable weights (13g x2, 4g x2) that provide the ultimate in spin management and shot shape control. Forward CG creates a penetrating flight best suited for maximizing distance whereas rear CG helps prioritize control and ease of use from the deck. Shot shape can also be fine-tuned helping create the most optimal flight. Additional weights can be purchased for a wider range of adjustability. INFINITY CARBON CROWN A new satin Infinity Carbon Crown has been added to the R7 Quad Mini Driver chassis creating a stunning look while saving weight for better mass optimization. The cosmetic package is clean, elegant, and confidence-inspiring.

Why it’s in my bag: This was my gamer coming in and it was going to be tough to leave the bag. I can draw it, I can fade it, I can hit it off the deck or from the tee. I have a couple of 3-woods I could go to if I ever played a course where I felt like I might need one, but I rarely find myself needing one anymore. I keep the weight back in my R7, which allows me to have that off-the-deck performance.

1 key data point: 3288 RPM spin rate (Off tee and deck). I actually spin this a good bit more than my previous 3-wood (~2600), which actually makes it fly shorter, but that works out better for my gapping as the 3-wood was going too far and forcing me to either back off or take less club.

Hybrid

Head: Ping G440 3H
Shaft: Nppon N.S. Pro Modus3 GOST Hybrid TX
Loft: 20 @ 19
Trajectory Tuning 2.0 Setting: Flat –
Length: 40.25″ EOG

PING G440 Custom Hybrid

The G440 hybrids appeal to a variety of skill levels, each engineered to deliver different ball- flight characteristics – from the slightly fade-biased 2 hybrid for off-the-tee performance to the draw-inducing 5, 6 and 7 hybrids that help optimize gapping. They all share a new, shallower and thinner face design, which improves face contact for more ball speed and higher-launching shots that hit and hold the green.  FLIES HIGH LANDS SOFT Optimized launch and spin ensure distance with stopping power.  FREE-HOSEL DESIGN Saves weight to lower CG, optimize launch/spin and increase forgiveness.  ROUNDED SOLE  Ensures pleasing face angle in all hosel settings  CARBONFLY WRAP  Lightweight carbon crown saves weight to increase MOI, lower CG.

Why it’s in my bag: I was struggling to find an option after my 3-wood for a long time until I got fit for this hybrid last year at the Proving Grounds. Surprisingly, during Fully Fit 2026, I walked away with three other really good options for this spot in the bag, including a 21-degree Callaway UW, an 18-degree Cobra OPTM hybrid, and a 19-degree TaylorMade Qi4D hybrid. But honestly, the G440 has such an advantage with a year of playing with it already in my back pocket.

I’m stoked to have four great options here, so while I’m happy with the Ping right now, I wouldn’t be shocked if I make a change when I start playing more regularly again in the spring. I do have some lead tape on the toe just to guard against that left miss, but for the most part, it keeps me on the right side of the golf course. This thing also explodes off the face.

1 key data point: 254 to 224 yards carry distance. That big of a carry dispersion is usually not considered a good thing, but the fact that I’m able to dial up a 250-plus carry out of club that fills my 240 gap is super advantageous when I’m far away from the green. While I’m rarely hitting the mini off the deck, knowing if I’m just inside a comfortable yardage, I can still get pretty close to the target and even chase it up with the hybrid is awesome. That shot is pretty low spin, but when I’m trying to close the gap between my Mini driver and 4-iron, versatility is key.

Why it’s in my bag: If I’m going to play a utility iron, then I want it to actually be a utility club and not a one-trick pony. Yes, hitting it high is almost never an issue for me, but the shots I can hit with the U505 are just silly. I can hit as high as all of my other irons, and I can hit down below 70 feet when I need to hit a frozen rope into the wind. I really just didn’t hit anything that has come close to it. I got fit for this club when the 2025 T-Series was launched and it took about three swings.

1 key data point: 157 mph ball speed. This was the fastest ball speed number I’ve recorded with this 3-iron. I was trying to get this number, but I’m more typically in the lower 150s. Just to be able to have that kind of speed with an iron tells me I can hit it off the tee and not have to worry about leaving myself way far back.

Cobra 3DP MB Custom Irons

The 3DP MB iron combines the looks and feel of a traditional forged muscle back with the forgiveness of a cavity back iron. The most forgiving blade on the market, the MB has captivated Tour players by checking all the boxes and exceeding expectations with its exceptional stability and feel. FORGIVING MUSCLE BACK BLADE SHAPE A slightly revised shape from the KING MB inspired by feedback from PGA Tour player Max Homa, the MB features a thinned topline and enhanced offset. The internal 3D printed lattice and heel, toe and hosel tungsten increases MOI for stability, and positions the CG perfectly centered and lower than the KING MB to promote higher launch. EXTREME FORGIVENESS MEETS SOFT FEEL The 3D printed internal lattice structure not only optimizes weight savings, but also provides the stiffness and strength to support the face and fine-tune the acoustics of each iron to produce the most appealing impact sound and feel. TUNGSTEN WEIGHTING The discretionary weight savings from the 3D printed lattice allowed for up to 55g of tungsten to be positioned low in the heel, toe and hosel resulting in the perfect blend of a compact blade shape with a low CG and high MOI that mirrors a game improvement iron.

Why they’re in my bag: If you had asked me if I would have expected to come out of this project with a set of muscle back irons, I would have said yes, only because I knew these 3DP MBs would be those muscle backs. The 3DP MB will actually be the first set of blades I’ve ever owned, but these are obviously not your ordinary blades. Because they are as compact as a typical blade, I almost experience a similar phenomenon to when I started playing a mini driver. It doesn’t look like I can hit these things solid and up in the air, but it sure is easy to do anyway.

I really love the process I went through with Cobra fitter Andrew Lusty here, as we changed shafts to the Modus 120 X (As mentioned above) to eliminate my right miss and gain consistency. I also benefit that Cobra’s standard lie angle is 62˚ on the 7-iron, so going the maximum two degrees flat really gets my start line in a good spot. The last thing we did was hit stock builds of each head through the set to figure out where we would jump to the 3DP Tour. Shockingly, it only took me two swings to commit to a 3DP MB 5-iron, but that’s where the magic ran out because I couldn’t hit my target ball speed with the 4-iron. When we switched to a 3DP Tour head, it was easy again.

1 key data point: 3.7 yards carry yardage standard deviation. I could give you my numbers with a 9-iron here or a 7-iron or even a 6-iron, but that 3.7 number I showed you was produced over 8 balls with a 5-iron with an average carry of 204.5 yards. This basically makes my 5-iron play like an 8-iron and as someone who occasionally forgets how to hit a long-/mid-iron, that’s a huge advantage.

Titleist Vokey SM11 Raw Custom Wedge

A Grind For Every Player For every player, there’s a set of grinds fit for clean contact. SM11 provides a leading combination of lofts, bounces, and grinds to promote solid contact (between grooves 2-5), predictable performance, and the confidence to take on whatever the shot demands. Grind Comparison Consistent CG Location For a given loft, SM11 features the same CG location in all grinds, resulting in a controlled, consistent launch angle. No matter which sole design fits your swing or course conditions, your launch window is locked in—leaving you free to choose the lofts and grinds that work for you. A Smarter Way To Spin The new Vokey Spin System combines an angled face texture, shot-specific groove shapes, and deeper spin milled grooves to deliver the right amount of spin from any lie, in all conditions

Why they’re in my bag: The new Vokey SM11 switch from my previous set of SM10s was the easiest test I have made over this whole project. What really makes the transition so easy is the process and great lengths Vokey fittings go through. I got to work with TPI’s Louis Raynard, who put me through the blind grind test to figure out the grind of my lob wedge. We hit shots with each of the six options, listening for strike, watching the launch window and then the spin on the green. Neither he nor I knew which one we were hitting at the time.

By the end, we revealed the M-Grind as my favorite, which was surprising as I’d previously played the higher bounce D- or V-Grinds. But the more I think about it, the more I realize the work I’ve done to shallow my attack angle is working and the M-Grind was producing much more spin.

I stuck with the 54.14F sand wedge bent to 55˚ to contrast that mid-bounce lobber. I’m also sticking with the 46˚ specialty pitching wedge because of the higher bounce on the sole and getting the Vokey grooves out of the rough. Another big change I made with this set was switching from my wedge shafts (previously the DG S400) to my iron shafts, which brought more control with clubs, that are full-swing clubs, even if I don’t always hit them “full.” The other thing was switching from the DG S400 to the Project X wedge shaft. Even though I’m leaving the standard Project X shafts in my irons, the wedge part gives me the ability to flight the ball down without trying to force it, something I’ve always struggled with.

Putter

Head: Scotty Cameron Studio Style ’25 Fastback OC
Length: 35″ EOG
Loft: 3˚
Lie: 70˚
Hosel: Onset Center
Shaft lean: 1˚
Swingweight: F6.5
Grip: Golf Pride Reverse Taper Medium Pistol

Scotty Cameron Studio Style Fastback OC Putter

As an extension of the popular Studio Style Fastback design, the Studio Style Fastback OC is a low-torque model featuring the same ring-weighted, high-alignment, multi-material design of the other Fastback models, but with Scotty’s tour-validated OC technology package. Featuring onset center shaft placement behind the putter face’s leading edge, the straight shaft is precisely positioned in line with the putter head’s CG location and leans 1° forward. This allows for low-torque performance and face alignment that stays square to the path. STUDIO CARBON STEEL (SCS) FACE INSERT The Studio Style Fastback OC includes a chain-link milled Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) insert for soft sound and feel, treated with an electroless nickel plating for enhanced durability with aerospace-inspired vibration damping for tuned sound, feel and performance. CUSTOM BLACK SHAFT Custom made for the new OC putters, each model includes a special black KBS x Scotty Cameron shaft with optimal flex, unimpeded alignment and precise feel. CUSTOM MATADOR GRIP With a debossed chain-link texture built-in, each new OC putter includes a custom 11-inch mid-size Matador grip in black with racy red and cool gray accents.

Why it’s in my bag: This was honestly not a putter I ever thought would end up in my bag full-time. I came into this trip with two putters. A Scotty Cameron Studio Style Catalina, a face-balanced blade, and this Fastback OC. I thought I was doing an experiment to see what it would be like to try low-torque for the winter months and then switch back to see if it could improve my putting. But two experiences during Fully Fit really sold me that low torque might be a long-term decision for me. The first was at TaylorMade when I scored a 0.1˚ face angle score with the Spider ZT. This wasn’t a fluke either. I was constantly returning the face square every time. It was eye-opening because I didn’t feel like I was doing anything different.

The second was back at TPI, where, when running through the Scotty Cameron matrix, there was no putter I rolled better than the Fastback OC I came with. Every putt was end-over-end, the 360˚ line the Scotty Cameron fitters were using on the golf balls locked in place.

It’s no surprise the Fastback and the Spider ZT were the two low-torque options I liked the most as they both have a soft feel, minimal shaft lean and minimal onset. I love the super soft feel of the new SCS Chain-link inserts and so given I’ve already had a few months of playing with the Fastback, it’s going to be in the bag for now. But the Spider ZT Black I got has a good chance of giving me a serious putter controversy later on.
