All, I recently bought a new Sun Mountain bag, Adams Speedline 3 wood, the Adams RPM3 irons (4-9 Pitch and Gap wedges) and a Mizuno 56°/10° sand wedge. I already had the Adams Speedline driver and an old Upswing® 5 wood (27°) that I hit really really well, and a old Ram 2 iron for WHEN i drop it in the woods. My putter is an old Odessey white steel I like and gets the job done. That makes 13 clubs, and I do pretty well with them (shot a 90 on a very soggy course with no rollout just today). I'm 59 years old, 5'9" 160 lbs and in pretty good shape for my age, been away from the game for 27 years until my buds took me out 3 years ago, and now I'm hooked, again. I like the limber shafts in these Adams clubs, and can occasional get 260 with a drive, but my 3 wood shots sometimes carry farther off the deck than my tee shot. (?) My short game is my strong point, and I'm wondering if a 60° wedge might be a good idea, or maybe I should look for a 5 wood? The new clubs, after I got used to how much more spin, control and distance they offered, have helped me take at least 10 stokes off a round. I think that with a little more play that number might increase a little more. I'm also thinking of real lessons instead of my buds telling me to "keep my head down". I know that! Tell me how to execute, not my faults! My question is what do y'all think should be that 14th club in my new bag? Should I even fret about that 14th club? I've already made the wife wonder about the bank balance this spring/summer, so I'm not looking to put a lot more cash into any one club at this point. I paid $140 for the Mizuno wedge and could swing that again, but not a lot more. thx, Roger EDIT typos

Unless I'm missing something, you already have 14 clubs.

8 = RPM3 irons and wedges

1 3W

1 SW

1 Driver

1 5W

1 Putter

1 2i

Any money you have might be best spent on lessons. You're making progress, but a pro could help you get a consistent swing you could build on.

Focus, connect and follow through!

Pt By god I've learned to count! :-P I've looked at my bag for nearly a month now thinking about this and have never just laid them all out like above. Man how silly I feel! In my part of the world instruction is a gamble, at best. I really don't want 3 different coaches/instructors, and I don't need the beginner routine. (I need a math teacher) Anyway, like Rosanna Rosanna Danna said, "Never mind." Roger
