Golf Putters Ben Hogan

Welcome to Sandtraps-on5 - Everything About Golf

How's my bag? Is an upgrade needed?

I'm a fifteen year old male who is attempting to make the golf team in a very competitive high school. I play 3 to 5 times a week and shoot low 80's to high 70's. I was wondering if my bags okay to compete in high school golf or if I need to upgrade to have an edge during tryouts. Tell me what you think and if you have any tips:

Burner '09 Driver and 3 wood (245 and 220 yards respectively)
Ben Hogan 3 hybrid (old, around 200 yards)
Nike Ignite Irons 4 through PW (105-185 yards) half an inch to a full inch too short
Cleveland 56* SW (Very old, worn out grooves 75 yards)
Snake Eyes 60* LW (New, 55 yards, great around the greens)
Scotty Cameron Putter (Old, bought off of craigslist)

How's it look? Any advice helps, thanks. Tryouts are in about 3 weeks.
Got new grips about a month ago...I added some tape underneath (a pro helped me out) for better feel

As a high school player myself, here's my evaluation:

1. Driver and 3 wood are fine. After about 2-3 years, their technology may become obsolete (along with every other driver after 2-3 years).
2. My dad has an old Hogan hybrid he used for 3 years and he loved it. It's a matter of preference, but if you want an upgrade, check out Nickent hybrids (they're out of business now, but it's not because of their hybrids. They were solid. I owned one for two years.) or Tour Edge (titanium is a softer metal, which helps feel and distance. Tour Edge has titanium cup faces on all of their woods and hybrids)
3. Ball striking is very, very important in high school golf, where one bad hole can ruin an entire round. Get fitted for iron shafts (steel for control, graphite for distance) and have them installed in your Ignites (if you want to upgrade, check out the Titleist AP1's or the PING i15's).
4. Worn out grooves aren't good, especially on wedges, and it's important to have matching wedges so the feel is consistent with each one, so get the same Snake Eyes wedge you have in 56*)
5. putting is all feel. Whatever gets the ball in the hole is what you should use. Scotty's are great (I use one), I also like Rife putters and SeeMore putters aren't bad either.
6. Make sure you use a good ball. I won't recommend any to you, you should get fitted for one.

Good luck this year.
