I hope that I haven't posted this already.
My memory isn't what it once was.
Set configuration is a favorite topic of mine. From experience, I don't configure a set in linear progression from driver to putter.
I bag ten fairway clubs chosen in coordination with each other to work as a set. These can vary, but presently they're...
4- or 5-wood
7-wood
5-9 irons
48, 53, 58º wedges.
I bag four shot-specific utilities chosen individually without regard to each other or the other ten. These are always the same.
driver (or strong fairway wood used as driver)
driving iron
sand wedge
putter.
If the driving iron has a loft overlap with a fairway wood, no problem.
If the specialized sand wedge has a loft overlap with a grass wedge, no problem.
Each club has its own job.
When I looked at the complete set as a whole, I couldn't get down to fourteen clubs.
When I divided the set into two parts, I could then choose the fourteen most useful clubs for my game.
