Nice thing about have so many golf bags filled with so many golf clubs around the house (mostly old clubs given to me) is that adding another club or two (or three, or...) goes unnoticed, as long as I retrieve the delivery box off the porch before my wife notices it.
I play a set of Taylormade RAC LT's with graphite shafts I picked up a couple years ago on eBay. Loving the clubs and afraid I might one day need to replace one, I've been picking up identical individual replacement clubs one at a time (mainly off eBay).
The original set had 4-9, plus PW, AW, SW. There wasn't a LW made in the series. However, I came across a graphite shaft Taylormade 300 LW and have loved playing it, especially out of bunkers. No more taking an open stance with the club face open and pointed at the target. I just step up, take a normal shot with an early wrist set and making sure to follow through with my torso for easy outs.
Anyway, my original full set still has the original Taylormade grips (which get a little slippery when wet).
The new clubs I've been having regripped as acquired with a nice, sticky Golf Pride grip.
Anyway, to complete my original set I picked up another graphite Taylormade 300 LW last night off eBay.
Btw, I've come to play my Frankenstined set exclusively now that the set is complete. Most of the shafts are identical to my originals (regular flex) but a couple are stiff flex. With my handicap, I don't notice any difference; and hopefully, I can wear out this pieced-together set; then upon retirement switch to the originals.
That is if I don't lose any (ala into a pond, across a tree or knee, etc). And, this way I always have a set in my car and a full back-up set at home to practice those indoor chip shots off the hanging pictures and lamps with.
