Change rather than fix?

It appears to me reading through the forum that if people have a problem with a certain aspect of their game, that the first thing they do is look to change their equipment.

I'm a great believer in fix. My kit has mostly been custom fitted so poor play is my fault, not the sticks. Hence why I have a lesson every month.
 
Maybe it's cos I'm a tight Yorkshireman,...

That might be it

My irons are shite and about 800 years old, a set sold recently on eBay for £8.49, inculding a 2-iron

In the past 18months I have bought a new driver (Callaway FT-iQ) some wedges (Ping Tour-W) a putter (Taylormade Rossa) a 3 wood (Titleist 980f) and 5 wood (Titleist 980f), apart from that I haven't changed anything.... apart from the bag :) :D :D
 
I think there is certainly an argument if a set of irons are over 5-7 years old for looking to upgrade to make the most of the advances that have been made but to be honest there hasn't been huge leaps forward in iron technology and so to a degree its about aesthetics as it is about performance.

I use to be a real sucker for the latest shiny answer to my problems especially where putters were concerned but since I started going to my teaching pro and getting all areas of the game tightened if not totally fixed then I'm getting to a point where I can only blame the fool holding the club. I think in most cases, the average golfer would benefit from a lesson at least every now and again even if its only to check the basic fundamentals.
