I struggle enough with each individual club as it is. Two of one in the bag would be even worse!!

I knew a Yipper who used a Right Handed ('normal') putter for long putts but a left-handed one for Yip length putt. Now gone fully left-handed - I did offer him a Bullseye style that he could use for either!

I carry to 8 irons. One for using off the tee / fairway and an old Wilson blade which i much prefer for chipping in and around the greens.

If you've got room in your bag and you play better with 2 or 3 of the same club then go for it. Who is anyone else to say you should or shouldn't have them in your bag?
I have 2 '3' woods in the bag at times - one very strong lofted (13*) and one thats weak (16*). You could say they are both 3 woods but the use and purpose is different.

I carry 2 drivers. nothing to do with shaping or anything. One is a regular 10.5 degree and the other is a 13.5 degree which I use as a strong 3 wood off the tee. My thinking was that I found it so much easier to hit a 460cc club off the tee over a standard 3 wood and as I don't usually hit a 3 wood off the turf, preferring my 5 wood, I may as well have a "big headed 3 wood" in the bag.
I have used this configuration for a couple of years now and it works well. It is surprising how straight the 13.5 degree is and I always seem to hit it 210 yards. Probably means I should use it more, but of course like most of us, I usually get the big dog out.

Surely it depends on what the club actually does as opposed to the number on the bottom?? I knew a guy who carried 2 drivers but one was 12deg loft and really was a strong 3 wood. I do think that 2 putters is a risk though. Wont that bugger up your feel???

I have both of them in the bag, but with the extra weight in the head, my hybrid plays 10-15 yards longer.
I see the 5 hybrid, as my 4 iron really.

No chance.
Driver - I can't and don't want to shape shots. If I could do this, surely I could do it with just one club??
Putter - An even bigger no. Get used to one putter and practice, practice, practice.

alternatively you could just accept that one club is a strong 3 wood and the other a long shafted 4 wood and use them as you see fit!
I read Fish's original post as 2 of fundamentally the same club but set up differently - to me this would be a pair of SLDR drivers one set slight draw, one set slight fade, possibly set to different lofts as well.
Putters are different, by the nature of their design, fundamentally designed to do the same outcome rather than the above differences designed to produce a different outcome from the same shot! You might therefore have different ones - or two the same with different head weights!

For a couple of weeks a few years ago I had two drivers. One for normal drives and the other for wide open wild ones.
But if a waste of time but I enjoyed it.
Can't do it now with all my wedges. Lol sorry bob 😂

I've heard the same about the Oddy Tank I've just brought (.... And been delivered today :thup
If I feel that I'm struggling with lagging the ball close, I'll simply practice lagging more often. Once I get used to the feel of the putter, I don't see it being different TBH.
It has the same insert as my current putter so hopefully the 'feel' will be the same and won't take overly long to get used to the heavier feel.

I carried two drivers for a while and I didn't see a problem with it (other than I'm a crap golfer and 10 drivers wouldn't have made me a better one).

Ive carried my 2 iron and my 19° hybrid. Use my 2 iron off the tee on certain holes. Good for keeping it under the wind.rescue flys alot higher and is easier to hit off the turf. Play like 2 totally different clubs

Fish..... You could just improve your iron and wedge play do you have no massive putts.
.... Alternatively if you like the putter have s putting lesson, my theory is surely if it's good from inside 10 ft which is a more makeable putt, the lag putting can only be a technique issue

Not saying it is in Fish's case but is seeing & reading slopes/banks/nap/pace over long distances actually a technique that a putting lesson would address?
Why is everyone saying "I should" or "I could" do this or that, its a general question, not something I am actually considering myself, it was born out of 2 things.
1, that I had read after reading many reviews on my DLL putter than a lot of people were struggling with it on distance puts so it begged the question.
2, with all the drivers I've tested over the last 2-days, it came across to me, and I knew Big Phil had carried 2 in the past, that with manufacturers preferred launch angles and ball flight to suit the technology within the club, would it be out the question to carry 2 drivers because 1 may be easy or set-up to fade and the other a draw or 1 may have a much higher trajectory to fly on the wind and another a more lower penetrating flight, it was just a question, that's all?

Ok on that basis fish...... "If" and that's s big if I had space in the bag for a spare club, the only copy club Id bag would be a stock pw around 47/48*
Our course has around 10-12 dry hazard ditches some of which come into play more than others. Although dry the water/drainage is fed to these meaning erosion has brought Flint/stone to the surface. 99% of people drop from the hazards meaning dropping areas can be hit or miss to the lie you get, a beaten wedge would get you 80/100 yards closer to the hole for your next shot instead of a drop shot to a sketchy lie, but I would only bag it around my home course
