Anybody play at the same course often enough they'd be willing to play a round with their "best set", followed by their back-up clubs? I'd be interested to see what the scores were like comparing the two, three, four, etc different sets.

My set #1 I'll be trying:
Driver Cobra HS9
2, 3, 4 TM Rescue Dual
5-PW Mizuno MP 60
51*, 57*, 60* Cleveland 588*
Putter Odyssey 2 Ball
Ping Bag

Set #2:
Driver Titleist 905R
5W Cobra F Speed
3-PW Mizuno MX-17
52*, 56*, 60* Titleist Vokey
Putter Scotty Cameron Studio Newport 2.5 (yes, it's my back up)
Cleveland Bag

Set #3:
Driver TaylorMade 540 (tough decision but I had to choose it)
3W Lynx
5W Lynx
3-PW Golfsmith Forged Blades (another tough decision)
52*, 56*, Lynx/Pure Spin
Putter TaylorMade Rossa Daytona I CGB
TaylorMade Bag (broken stand)

I haven't determined the other couple sets yet, but some notables that didn't make the rotation yet:
Tommy Armour 845 Irons
KZG 3W
Odyssey Dual Force Rossie II Putter
MacGregor Irons
Vokey Wedges (terrible shape kept them out of #3 set)
Junior golf bag, 3 cart bags (I may use the junior just so I don't have to carry to many cart bags lol)

Have enough to make at least 6 complete sets of clubs (all 14 included), trying to get at least the top 3 or 4 out of the way before summer's over at my local course where I have a membership. By the 5th or 6th set I'll begging to have forgiveness again :laugh:
 
Somewhere, my future wife would be seriously pissed off at me if I had all those golf clubs...:laugh:
 
Ho and stow,

Ive got backup iron, ie I can't bear to sell them. The Hogan Apex + blades will allow me to score the same as Hogan CFTs if my swing is on. Otherwise CFTs are 3-4 strokes better.
 
No way. Unless it's part of my rotation, I don't use any clubs I wouldn't see myself using in a tournament. I try and form intimate bonds with my clubs, not going and...hoing on them
 
I rotate in a 5 wood in and out with my 60 degree wedge, depending on how hard and fast the greens are. If they're soft and we've just had a drought-busting rain, I'll drop the 60 and use the 56 for lob shots, but if it's like it's been now, I keep the 60 in because nothing else will stay on the green, anyway.

The only changes in the pipeline are steel-shafted driver and 3 wood for winter play. I don't want the graphite shafts to shatter.
