One of You and Starting a new Chapter in bag makeup

A fault of mine the past 35 years has always been a loyalty to one brand, I have done that with Ping, Cally, Titleist and on.
That loyalty went from the Driver to the Bag to the balls.
I use to be able to pull that off easily when I was younger, I could hit a broomstick 250 yds.
Now I am starting a new chapter of trying to measure each club on its own merit and what it contributes to me game.
Going forward my bag with be :
Driver - Ping G425, 10.5, GD DI6 shaft stiff
4 Wood _ Tour Edge Exotics C721, 16.5, Fuji Ventus Red 75
Hybrid - Ping G425, 22* & 24*, Ping Tour Shaft
Irons - Srixon Z5, 6-GW, KBS Tour 105 Stiff
Wedges - Vokey SM*, 54* & 58*, DGS Black, S400 shafts
Putter - Evnroll ER5, Satin, Centershaft
Ball - Snell MTB - X
Bag Ping Hoofer, ST. Jude Edition
* There are drivers that I might hit a few yards further that the G425, but none straighter.
* G425 Hybrids, best qualities are that these don't hook on me and they are solid, but I will test others going forward to make sure.
* Switching from G425 irons, after a lot of playing with them, My honest opinion is that they are not as good as the Ping Ping I210 for my game. But it is impossible to custom order a set of Ping I210's right now with Covid in Vietnam.
* I had the Srixon X5's Irons before but with the Recoil shafts which was all wrong for me feel wise and distance. The Nippon Modus 105 shafts will fit me much better for sure. I should get the Srixons by 11/1 since they were custom ordered by length and lie.
Here we go....

Based on the rate at which you buy clubs, I think loyalty is far from the problem

Rummy, I can't bring myself to visit the Taylor Made Darkside...

I liked my M5 driver far better than any of the SIM or SIM 2 line. I haven't hit any of their new model irons but damn I miss my P760s sometimes

All of the gambling, alcoholics, pot head addictions have nothing on you and buying clubs

I was once a Taylormade homer... then Ping.
I now play a bastardized bag and have the clubs that I can put a repeatable swing on in the bag. This current bag has lasted the longest in many years because I play consistent golf with em.
Ping driver, TM fw, Mizuno hybrid, Srixon irons, Scor wedges, Edel putter, Snell MTB-x/Black

I've been on mizuno irons for about 10 years now although the zx5s are tempting me
Love my sim 2 max driver

I hit the X5's and the Mizuno 921 HM Pro's in the net and the X5's had better distance and overall numbers.
Same shafts were used.

A lot of people have noticed shorter 921. Me thinks the tinkered too much for current shaft pairings
