switching clubs mid season - Good or bad idea?

["Richard"]

I have a set of g2 irons and I do like them but I just tried my friends callaway 2004 BB's and they are so much better (for me). I love those clubs. I've tried his clubs about 3-4 times and everytime I've seriously thought about switching to them. Question is, I've really made a lot of progress this year (shot a 43 on 9 at glen mar from the tips today) and went low a few times with the g2s but these BB's have a huge cavity and its so easy to get the ball in the air, it lands so soft on the green. Does it make sense to switch from one set to another this late in the season? What are the pros and cons to be considered here? I can't really thing of anything other than the clubs are lofted differently and it might mess up my wedges and even my utility clubs if they end up over lapping

The biggest change is the difference in distances. If you hit the other irons that much better, just switch to them and spend some time at the range or on the course figuring out your distances and you'll be fine.

I switched to Cleveland TA5's mid year and I have no regrets. I spent probabley 4-5 hours at the range before I went out and played with them. The weight of the clubs were very different from what I had been playing but, once I got used to them I started shooting much more consistent.

I think I'm going to do it. I just need to find a set of Callaway BB 04's now

Switching clubs mid-season is fine. So is switching them monthly, weekly, daily, or at the turn if things are going really badly...

Here, here to that Mr. Masson. Us club junkies have to stick together.

You guys are just desprate for the majic stick and have yet to find it.

[Big Johnny69]

Yes, yes I am. But unlike Reid I don't have 5 sets to choose from to try and find that magic stick.

Actually, I think Reid found his magic sticks a long, long time ago. He just refuses to believe it could have been that easy! It can't possibly be the first ones...

Tigger is right... I'm just on a desperate search to replace a set of 1972 Hogan Apex blades that are rapidly wearing out. 5 years and 100 or so iron sets later I am still looking LOL!

Isn't there a saying that variety is the spice of life. I could never have a monogamous realtionship with my irons. I feel so cheap...

Yes, yes I am. But unlike Reid I don't have 5 sets to choose from to try and find that magic stick.

Hmmm. How would you like to have 4 "tour" bags full of clubs from which to choose. And that is after giving a gazillion clubs to a local high school.

Changing clubs at any time should not be a problem, however, it does take a little while to get used to the different feel of a club, and to get to know what its tendencies are and what you can do with it/them. If you find a club(s) that you really like, stay with them, as the more you get to know them, the more solid the friendship becomes.
