Do you believe in seasonal iron sets? I have apparently have too many seasons...

[TheKid718]

Do you believe in having multiple iron sets for the different seasons? When I was working at my clubs and completely immersed in the game I had 5 sets in the rotation. A summer, fall, winter, spring, and Tournament set. Now I know, most people would say thats crazy. But this is golfWRX and I know a few of you are just as "crazy" as I am. But if you think about it it makes sense.

 

Tournament; Callaway X Protos with Satin PX 6.5

Summer; Adams Pro Black MBs with Black Nickel KBS X

Fall; Mizuno MP33 with S300

Winter; Callaway X-Forged (07) with TT Black Gold S

Spring; Ping S59 with Satin PX 7.0

 

Each seasons shaft and head combo were strategically put together. I lived on Long Island and we were open all year. Depending if it was a course on the water or inland, wind or trees.

 

Thoughts. Most people's arguments are "how can you get a feel for one set. That's too much change" but it really wasn't. I loved it.

 

Let me know if you think I was/am crazy or if you agree with me.

Haha...you're nuts, no question!

I don't think it's wrong to want to switch some things out though, especially if you're talking about playing in 90+ degree weather in the summer and then sub-40 degree weather in the winter.

I've thought about switching things up for the winter season down here. Even though you get plenty of days below 50 degrees, I just can't seem to stop playing regularly. When the grass goes dormant and the ground firms up here, I know switching irons can have a profound effect.

Haha, I didn't say it was an amazing thing I did, just crazy.

I have one set for the warm season and zero for the cold weather!!!! Ha Ha!!! But you have the seasons all covered!!!!

Dude you are totally not maximizing your potential. What about early spring? Late summer? Summer solstice? autumnal [color="#000000"]equinox? uhh.... A Labor day set! Kidding of course, but I like how you think. I do have a high and low driver. Well.... Ok, I have multiples of those too. Seriously though I'll change out hybrids for long irons depending on playing conditions. Low lofted drivers or high ones when I want to maximize for soft conditions. I use a belly putter on courses I know have slow greens. You are not alone in your madness my friend.[/color]

The first step towards recovery is admitting you have a problem. But..... when you rationalize out the thought behind each set, it sort of makes sense, in a crazy sort of way! haha. I know i am not alone, i was just hoping for more encouragement and agreement. Someone else has to have 5 sets at one point. I know they are out there. Come on and admit it!

I am not in your league but I am a card carrying member. The spring up here is cold wet and windy so I start out with TM r7 TP, the wider soles help with the soggy turf. As things warm up I switch to MP 53 and then mid summer is hot and dry so out come the MP 32. I will switch out the MP 32 for the MP 53 at the drop of a hat if I need the extra forgivness, read sucking with ball striking

MP-32s are a fantastic summer set. One of the best sets Mizuno ever made. 33s were my favorite. Awesome to know that others rotate iron sets too!

[golfware]

Sorry. Not here. Always thought about that but never did it. I stick with one set mostly.

[play18now]

Nah we only have a rainy season here in Seattle, so I play one set year round. Naturally to combat the wet, cold and soft conditions its a set of thin-soled blades

Yea I do love the MP 32, much easier to hit than you would think. I have other sets as well but they only come out on the odd occasion when I am feeling like a change. Hogan Apex Plus and Apex Edge Pro, I am a bit of a forged addict.

I only change my top end of the bag in between season. I only have summer or winter setup. In Houston it's either hot or cold/windy.I don't play much in the rain. I hate getting wet.

The Hogan Apex line of irons are fantastic forged clubs. Both as gamers and wall pieces. Just an awesome looking and playing club.!
