How long before a set of clubs is starting to get past its best?

And as its relatively simple to get a shaft replaced, a set of clubs should last 10-20 years before "needing" to be replaced.
Unless you're playing every day like the Pros are, in which case you'll get through a set a year.

You wonld need to hitting 1000 balls a day with each club to need to change every year!!!!!!!!IMO

5 Years now, I've had my ping S59's, thought about changing them last year and was told by my pro that I wouldn't be getting anything different.
I am hitting them aswell now as I've ever hit them. They will be staying for at least another year anyway.
My youngest son has the same set as mine so he is well happy he's playing with PINGS.
I've only put new grips on twice in 5 years, and I play alot of golf.

Had my S59s about that long and I won't be changing for many years yet.

I doubt there is a club on the market that I will like more than I like the S59s and there certainly aren't any that will make be a better golfer.

Club fitters will tell you 3 to 4 years cause they make money out of selling golf clubs but in reality I suspect the technology that went into the S59 is more than I'll ever need and I doubt I'll notice a bit of wear to the grooves.

Sounds like a normal range session for me then

Surely, with technology improving all the time, clubs become outdated (in that newer ones will perform better) much faster than they physically wear out.

Our pro suggested that an average player would notice an improvement every 2nd new release. So, on the basis that most manufacturers bring out a new model every 2 years, then the suggestion is to replace every 4 years to be able to notice a significant improvement.
