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.

You can be quick or you can be slow when filming a video. The larger channels have a team go round with them, usually at least a couple of camera/drone operators. It's going to take time to get everybody in place. As a one man set up I can be very quick, my camera is fixed to my trolley so no...

I did a very short piece on the rise of Mizuno in one of the first videos I ever made. You sum up the failings of many British manufacturers pretty well, but there was still a lot of innovation still going on. One of the factors against British makers was the lack of scale, they made some...

Good question! I'd say that up until the 1970s brand image wasn't much of a thing. Sure advertising influenced choices but in the UK American clubs were a rarity. Lots of UK manufacturers produced clubs that stated "American Model" or similar but to actually find the real article was...

Wear white clothes.

Don't think I've ever played with anyone better than scratch, and even then only a couple of times. Never played with anyone famous either.

Just make wedge the new name for irons and drop the word iron completely.

Fossilised Victory green grips, the work of the devil.

I've not watched it, was it a genuine call out or a set up to bring a bit of drama to the final?
