Another set of coated shaft irons and putter that I should have talked myself out of. :oops:

The more variety in my putters I can play the more fun I have.

It's been said many times before but the ball "rollback" won't impact most golfers as most existing balls are already compliant with the proposed changes anyway. It's just the top end balls like the ProV1 etc that would need tweaking, and only to a small degree that wouldn't effect most golfers...

This is the key advantage of having lots of sets of clubs, I know I'll be changing out the whole bag the next week so I can just blame that week's clubs and look forward to the next week and a different set. It even works the other way, if I'm playing well I know that I'll be swapping...

There were a few companies offering similar in the 70s or 80s, maybe even 90s. A trolley where the clubs are positioned heads down, usually has a seat as well and some pockets. They look funky but take up a lot more space than a normal bag and trolley and unless you put the clubs in the correct...

Welcome to my world. :) (But 30 or 40 yards behind is probably closer to the truth)

If you believe that changing shafts will make a great difference to your swing then I agree that there is no alternative to trying them out for yourself and checking results. I recently did a VERY scientific study on how shaft flexes have "evolved", which also shows the variation to be found...

Many years ago there was a push for professionals to play with less clubs, a competition was even held with a reduced number of clubs. Some really liked it, but they were different days and professionalism wasn't as dominant as it is now. And I can imagine the manufacturers making a huge fuss...

The fall began when PepsiCo bought it in 1970. The Finnish company (Amer Sports) began the revival of the brand when they acquired it circa 1989.

I don't see a "too many bags" problem here, rather a "not enough clubs" issue. I have an embarrassing number of bags and they're all stuffed to the gunwales with clubs. To add to the embarrassment, there are still a "significant number" of clubs not in bags.

Graphite shafts? Makes them even rarer I'd guess.

Or it's yet more AI generated crap.
