Now I know you play what works for you, and this set up and the alternates work for me. Just curious as to what ya'll think. Would you recommend any alternatives or change anything to make it even better.

Driver: Taylormade R11 9 degree stock shaft stiff flex. Set to promote a draw

3wood: Taylormade Burner Superfast 2.0 , stock shaft

5 wood: Taylormade R11s set to promote a draw

Hybrid: Taylormade Burner 19 degree

Hybrid: Taylormade Raylor  22 degree

irons: Taylormade Burner 2.0 6-pw

Wedges: Cleveland CG16's 48, 56 degree

Calloway Warbird 52 degree ( want to replace it with another Cleveland once I get some more funds)

Putter: Taylormade Ghost Spider

Alternates that I add in depending on the course.

Hybrids: Adams tight lies:  16 degree (hit is nice but only from the fairway ,where the TM's I can get out of rough too)

Nickent 6DT : 3h (19 degree) 4h (22 degree) use them sometimes but like the adams can not get them out of the rough.

Wedges: Maxfli C3 56 and 60 degree with different bounce on the 56 than the cleveland.

3wood: Tayormade r5 with a smaller head than the Superfast and can hit it better some days.

Seems pretty standard to me. No 5 iron, but you have a 5w and a 3h? Unless you hit them much differently, I'd set the 5w to around 19˚ and give the 19˚ 3h the boot, or vice versa. You could add in another hybrid or iron, though it probably isn't a common yardage. Maybe add a LW if you actually make use of it. Not a fan of the burner irons in general, but it seems like you fill every basic need.

I carried the 5 iron and never used it. I have the 5 wood adjusted down in loft from its 18 degree stock setting. I do have a gap in loft from the Raylor to 6 iron but found this is not an issue on just about every hole. As long as I can get to the 170-150 range from the tee on most par 4's or second shot on par 5's I can reach with the 6 iron on down. But the set up is geared towards my home course and does changed based on the length or conditions of the course. More green side bunkers and add in the lob wedge etc. Thanks for the feed back.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
