Does anyone own two identical sets of clubs? That isn't sponsored by a club manufacturer.

Just curious if anyone keeps two sets of the same for travel, or one at course and home or any other reasons....

I do.

One set of Hogan BH-5 at home -- I usually take those to the range. (I play Apex Plus irons.)

One set at my family's place out in CA for trips out there. That way I don't have to travel with the clubs ever.

I picked the sets up new, but Hogan had been swallowed up by Callaway, so I got them on the cheap (about $180 per set, I think).

Both sets are 3-PW.  I don't think I'll ever do that again, but it's kind of nice right now.

I owned 2 sets of Adams A4R irons for a while. Finally sold 1 set when I realized i was going to continue to try different stuff. Still have 1 set, but have replaced the other with 7 different sets.

I will, as soon as I can find a reasonably priced set of Mizuno MP-32's.

Once you find your 'forever irons', why not?

I guess one could argue that it wouldn't be smart, as new irons could come along and make your 2 sets obsolete, etc.

I have a set of Ping g5 irons I am keeping around. I bought them new last year and now friends use them after I played one season and found out Black Dot are not for me. I now carry g2 orange dot irons. The g5 will probably end up in Tulsa at my moms house. It's cheaper to fly round trip to Tulsa from Dallas than it is to drive now ways...

Same driver. Different 3-wood.  60 wedge in CA, 58 in OK.
Putters are different too.

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
    • Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
