What's your "backup set". You do have one right?

[sean_miller]

I picked up a partial set of Parallax irons yesterday - 4, 6-9 for $2.99 at Value Village - they have brand new Golf Pride full cords. I was going to give them to my brother, but after I cleaned them up, I had an epiphany. This would make an interesting backup set.

Here's the other stuff I threw together in an old bag.
Driver: 9* BB Warbird
2H: 4dx 17*
5 wood: Eagle 21*
4, 6-9 irons: Parallax
50* Wedge: Tom Watson
56*: VIP
64* wedge
Putter: Ray Cook mallet

This is clearly not the set I'll use every day, but I'm look forward to taking them out on an easy course - for kicks.

No back up set here.

I have an old set of Tommy Armour 855s's that I have a sentimental attachment to, as my backup set.

[Zeph]

I don't have a backup set, but I've got my old set.

3-wood: Pro Select
4-PW: Olyo P2
Hybrid: Olyo 19º and 23º
Wedges: Olyo 52º, Cleveland CG12 56º, 60º, 64º
Putter: ProFound Dark Ace

Decent set of clubs except for the 3 wood, which is a really cheap club. The irons are game improvement big cavities, I don't like the weight of them, too heavy. The hybrids are decent, square head, very easy to hit. Wedges obviously good, got the 64º mostly for fun to fool around with. The putter is nice, but I decided to change to a blade putter, which I like better. The set can be used by friends or family.

just the set i was born with...oh...wait

i have my old irons, ping isi-k's...cobra speed pro-d driver, callaway warbird 3,5,7 woods, cleveland wedges and an older odyssey dualforce blade putter...in my vintage patent leather bright red spalding bag with white zippers...yea i said it...lol

[delav]

I've got an old set of Titleist DCI 962 irons... which I still think feel great for old cast cavity backs. Also kicking around the garage is a set of adams assault irons (circa 1990?), the original Ping TiSi driver, TM R580XD, a Titleist 975D, Callaway GBB 9.5, Callaway Steelhead 3, a few 2 irons, and a handful of old vokey and cleveland wedges.

Come to think of it... I should have a garage sale.

Not sure why someone who plays once or twice a week needs a"backup" set.
Backup set = a set of clubs that never gets used.

[clubchamp]

I have enough clubs in the basement for 2 extra sets...

Callaway BB 460
Callaway X 3 wood
nickent 3dx hybrid
Mizuno mx-23 4-pw
cleveland cg 12 52, 56, 60
Scotty newport 2 or 1996 ram zebra

This would be the back up I would use if needed

I've been playing the same set of irons off and on for many years, so there's no concern of them wearing out - more likely they'd get stolen by accident if someone boosts my car. None of my iron sets is really a true backup set, they're just other sets I use. I even leave an old set at my parent's place because you never know.

BTW, did you notice the quotation marks around "backup set" in the title? Believe it or not, some people shoot approximatel the same score with any set of irons, and since variety is the spice of life, wtf, eh?

[golfro]

I'm still recovering from getting my car broken into and getting my entire set stolen. No money for a back up anytime soon.

I'd love to have my old Titleist DCI990 set and Mizuno TZoid Pro set back to use as a back up.

[WUTiger]

I don't have a backup set. My old set had stiff shafts, and I switched out for regular flex last summer.

I have kept my two previous sets of golf clubs for sentimental and historical reasons.

[Titleist_ProV1x]

Yep, I have a backup set of the same clubs in my bag now, I play tournaments and don't usually have time to get clubs fixed in between, So it's nice to have them

[PutterMcGavin]

I haven't changed clubs in a while but since I'm getting back into the game more again (I had ACL surgery last summer) I might pull out my KZG forged blades. GREAT clubs when I was playing a ton a few years ago but I'm not ready to play with them quite yet.

[GaijinGolfer]

I dont really have a backup set. Ive got some clubs lying around (set of Titleist DCI 981s, a Ping Anser and an old Mizuno putter) but not enough to make a full set.

[Bullitt5339]

I have a spare set that I use when people come to visit and haven't brought their clubs. My son uses them when I can get him on the course, and my cousin is using them right now when I can talk him into playing.

It consists of:

Cleveland Hibore XLS driver
cheap Ping G10 copy 3 and 5 wood
3 and 4 hybrids MaxFli BlackMax
5-PW of some Turbo Power R9TP look-a-likes
Acuity 56 degree Wedge
Top-Flite putter

Not really a backup set, more like a cheaper set of nice hitting clubs for people who come into town.

[max power]

My signature shows enough clubs to make up two full sets-the backup is whichever ones I decide to leave in the garage on the day I go to the course.

Just the driver and surviving irons (4,6,7,8,9,PW) from my starter set and the TaylorMade Burner 6I I got from their promotion. They're in a cardboard box in my closet since I only have one bag. Actually I've been carrying the Burner iron around in case I needed to hit off a terrible lie or something, but after picking up a couple wedges and a 3W this afternoon, I'm actually at 14 clubs I mean to use, so I guess I'll pull that out of the bag...

[Sherlockian]

I have two back-up/spare sets of Titleist 990s; set up just like the set in my bag. No backup for woods or wedges though.
