YankeeJim .... EXCELLENT IDEA !!!!!
And to respond to Gitthe's poll .... thats a no- brainer. Give me my Raptures from the white tees.
I was never in the Pro tier ... when WGT went from 2 tiers to 4, I was bumped straight to Master ... but, back then, amatuers played from the white tees ( today's Pro tees). All I ever used back then were tha basic starters ... all there was TO use. Upgraded ( 5 yrds/club) to the Tour Starters when they were released as a full set. Those took me through the US Open at Bethpage from the waaaayyy back tees. Bought the Raptures a few weeks before the Ryder Cup matches started ( qualified with the Tour starters) and the R9 Master about a week b4 the RC.
I can tell you this, though ... I shot MUCH more consistently from the white ( Pro) tees with the Tour Starters than I do now from the blue tees with the big driver.
The gist of the OP was whether pro clubs from the pro tees have an advantage over master clubs from master tees ... short answer is absolutely yes. The 20-30 extra yards with a master drive barely equals out the difference in tee boxes, whether they be pro, amateur, or hack. And, with the lack of forgiveness, many times they won't even do that well. Those extra yards are lost if you're playing your next shot from 40-50 rough.
