Default Dilemma - Good???... Bad???
Here's the story. Last January I bought a new set of Titleist AP-2 irons. I'd been using my King Cobras for more than 6 years and they were getting tired and I was tired of them. As it turned out, my swing wasn't up to the new sticks, so I had to return to the old Cobras. I was still using them about 3 weeks ago, when I decided to go and try some of the current models. I really liked the Callaway X22's so I ordered a set through the pro shop at the course where I work. Then for some reason, I put the Titleist irons back in the bag. Some swing changes I made during the season seem to have made a difference. Now out of nowhere I'm hitting the AP-2's well, better than I ever hit the Cobras even when they were new.

My problem is that now the new Callaways are in the pro shop waiting for Callaway to send the invoice, and then I'll have to take receipt of them. As things now stand, they will just go into the garage and sit until the AP-2's wear out or fail me. I'm just feeling kind of stupid for jumping the gun on the new irons without trying the ones I already had first.

Anybody ever had this problem before?

I used to have the problem when I was younger. I had friends who had wealthy families so they were always getting new equipment. I went through an entire summer just borrowing iron sets until the ones I had on order arrived. It seemed like every time I would switch a set I would play good for a while.

I would think it would be a good thing. I am guessing that you play a few times a week? If you ever find yourself in a funk you could just switch clubs. Sometimes all it takes to find your swing is to swing something different. New club disease, honeymoon period, whatever you want to call it, sometimes it works.

Or you could just try and sell one of them and get some money back.

If you read our article on Machine Putters, Dave Billings talks about this very thing.

Its not a good thing that you shelled out money for a set of clubs that you now think you don't need. But its a good thing that you have a GREAT back-up set that can "come out of the bullpen" when the AP2's need a rest. Not a bad situation at all!

I bought a set of TM R7's that I hit really good in the store. I got them on the course and just hated them. I kept them a month, but also got on eBay and found a set of TA Forged Silver Scot Blades and bought them. I fell in love and the R7's ended up in the garage. I got lucky and when I tried to take them back to trade them on anything else, they gave me credit less 15% from the original price since I had only played 3 rounds with them.
