Richie3Jack Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 16 clubs I don't think would help me. I pretty much played the entire year with Driver, 3-wood, 3-hybrid, 4-PW, GW, SW, and LW setup and never had an issue once. It would be interesting if there was an unlimited rule. You could get on Trackman and gap yourself by 5-7 yard increments and never really be in-between clubs. 3JACK Quote Author of Pro Golf Synopsis.

MmmmmmBuddy Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I played a speed golf tournament this summer. I carried a 7 iron, a 50* wedge an putter. We played 36 holes on a par 54 golf course, and I managed to shoot 14 over for 36 in 60 min and 14 sec. My normal scores on that course are in the 2-3 over for 18 range. However, most of my lost shots came on the green. Not taking time to line putts up. Most players can shoot the same score with 1/2 as many clubs. The only time more is better in golf is when you are counting up bets at the 19th hole.

My grandfather was a teaching pro, he also threw snap pops at me a coughed during my swing and threw tees at me! I need to get back to playing more as my distances are fine(pin high almost all the time) but my direction now that I have kids is sorely lacking!

SunsetBeachCustomPutters Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Food for thought though...why not though have a club that performs its actual distance and therefore not have to adapt your swing for each club as much to change distance. And also how do you think 16 club rule could actually hurt golf? Why stop at 16 then. If the reasoning is to never have to change your swing why not clubs with a two yard gap through the set and have 30 clubs. "I have 165 yards, do I hit my 166 or my 164 club here?" I don't think it hurts except those learning the game, phil mickelson did not become a short game god because he learned with 6 wedges, he became one because of imagination and learning different shots with different clubs in all places around a green. this has carried over into his long game. No matter how many clubs you have in your bag at some point in a round you will HAVE to adapt your swing for some reason. Going under a tree, or wind or something else. If you don't learn to hit different shots how are you going to learn to hit a low slinging cut 6 iron from the trees? silver & black 1 Quote Chris Jordan Sunset Beach Custom Putters Email me Driver: Adams Fast 10 w/ Matrix Ozik TP6HD 3 Wood: Nickent 3dx Tour 3+ w/ UST Mamiya Black 5 Wood: Bridgestone J38 / Motore F1 Hybrid: TM Rescue TP 22* w/ UST Mamiya Black 4-PW: Bridgestone J38 Dual Pocket Cavity w/ Project X 52* and 58* - J38 Black Oxide w/ Project X Putter - SSB Ocracoke in Oil-Rubbed Bronze Ball - Srixon Z-Star Tour Diamond or Bridgestone B-330S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Saternus Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 For me, I'm perfectly happy with 14. If I could carry more, I probably would, but I don't know that it would help me. If I had the chance, I'd like to add a 64* wedge and possibly a thriver (13* driver) for days when the big stick is out of control.

NiftyNiblick Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Why stop at 16 then. If the reasoning is to never have to change your swing why not clubs with a two yard gap through the set and have 30 clubs. "I have 165 yards, do I hit my 166 or my 164 club here?" But here's the thing. Fourteen, maybe even 12 clubs are plenty if you get to choose the clubs that you want. But the player doesn't. Modern GI irons aren't simple blades and modern woods aren't wooden. Consequently, a mainstream OEM can't make clubs to order with the buyer's exact specs. The clubs are much too complex to offer that kind of customization. I could be happy with 12 clubs if they were the EXACT clubs that I wanted--with gaps wide enough to stretch the whole set into just twelve clubs. Since they're not, trying to configure a set that's fun to play with even fourteen clubs can be very difficult if possible at all for some people. I'd say 18 is about right. It might also get some of those walkers who make me feel guilty onto carts as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthanSterlingPrice Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I don't know about this one. Disclaimer: half the fellas at my home course have their own carts and play two bags of equipment so I've seen the extreme side of no limit. I think changing this one wouldn't make any sort of performance difference for your average mid to high handicap player because they rarely play the hole bag anyways. How many high handicappers do you normally see debating between hitting a firm 3iron or smooth 4iron or Lord forbid a 2iron... the only instance I can see it affecting is the wedges and I still see a lot of fellas in that higher bracket who are too intimidated to use any loft higher than 56 or 60 degrees. I know there are exceptions but this is what I hear a lot of. It really doesn't help that much with filling in gaps either if you look deep enough. My clubs are set up as follows: Driver. 9.5 degrees 3wood. 15 degrees Hybrid. 18 degrees 4. 22 degrees 5. 26 degrees 6. 30 degrees 7. 34 degrees 8. 38 degrees 9. 42 degrees Pw 46 degrees 50 degree wedge 54 degree wedge 58 degree wedge Putter With 14 clubs in the bag I've got 4 degree increments top to bottom excluding driver so in theory there's really no gaps to fill unless I was wanting like a 62 or 64 degree wedge but I get the same effect with opening my 58 and if you get the proper sole grind it'll allow the leading edge to stay flush with the ground like a 62 anyways. These companies stamping pw on 9iron lofted clubs isn't helping anyone either, soon people are gonna have to figure out what to do when their 3Iron has the same loft as their 3wood then everyone's screwed. Just don't see a reason for more clubs in the bag.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy It would let one overlap lofted wood and strong iron lofts. . Lofted woods and strong irons are not really interchangeable, but with a fourteen club limit, one must choose. Also makes room for one-trick-pony clubs like dedicated sand and driving irons, high loft, keel-soled recovery woods, bump-n-run irons, fade/draw driver sets, and stuff like that. (Good, old-fashioned cheating, in other words.) Now there are hybrids in the mix as well, although I personally haven't played them since Cleveland Halos...

Extra wedge and hybrid in the bag maybe...could it hurt the game or help the game? To get back to X's original post, I'm shocked an industry that tries to make money by selling golf clubs thinks we should be carrying more golf clubs. "Help tremendously for rec golfers" ??? I doubt it. If a rec golf really needs an extra wedge (which is a skill club and requires practice) or hybrid, they should think about dropping that 22* 4 iron form the bag. ...also be a stimulus package for the industry as well. I see no down sides to it for the recreational golfer. I think this would be nothing more than a "stimulus package" rule for OEMs, and I'm not sure why that would be a good thing.

NiftyNiblick Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I think this would be nothing more than a "stimulus package" rule for OEMs, and I'm not sure why that would be a good thing. Nobody is required to bag even the current fourteen clubs. Some people would indeed add clubs just because they can, and I suppose the OEMs would benefit from that. I, on the other hand, specifically like having the option of hitting a lofted wood or a long iron. That requires overlapping lofts, and that in turn requires more than fourteen clubs.. It should be noted that hybrid users don't bag either long irons or lofted woods, so the fourteen club rule is less of an impediment to them.

golfinnut Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Yeah, I got the idea from my buddy. He said either play odd or even numbered clubs. It's worked really well. People might just be surprised that they don't NEED 14 clubs. This was the way sets were made back when I was growing up in the late 70's & early 80's. I played the odd numbered clubs for the longest time as a kid. Driver, 3-wood, 3, 5, 7, 9 & wedge, putter. It taught me to manufacture shots. To the OP's original question, I think adding it to 16 clubs wouldn't be the best idea. Just would create more confusion if you ask me. 98% of the people I play with haven't the slightest idea how far they hit their clubs, especially their wedges. Adding another one in there to "fill the gap" really isn't the answer. One of those wedges in that series I'm sure you don't play that often to constitute carrying it ... like many that carry a 60 or 64* wedge. How often do you hit that club? Can't you open a 56* to obtain the same shot? GB13 1 Quote WITB: Do I like Titleist or what?

NiftyNiblick Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Can't you open a 56* to obtain the same shot? Not really. Opening a 56 adds bounce to a club that often has a lot already. My lob wedges have very little bounce so that I can play high, soft little shots from forward in my stance when I short-side myself . Bounce destroys that shot.

RoverRick Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I wouldn't mind seeing the rule go the other way: 10 to 12 clubs max. Rounds at one's local course may actually go faster: lighter bag for those who walk, fewer clubs to choose from - and therefore, less mental agonizing - when deciding how to approach a shot. In addition, aren't most golfers not very precise in reality? Do we really need to have loft increments of 3 or 4 degrees? Don't the majority of us probably need 5 deg. increments between clubs in order to get 10 to 15 yard differences. Some may call that crazy, but I know for a fact that Ryan Moore, who recently signed on with Scratch Golf, is currently playing with clubs at 5 deg. increments. Venerated Ping even made an iron set not so long ago that had 5 deg loft differences - the G2 EZ. Fewer clubs, I say ... not more! Poppycock! If you want a lighter bag and 10 clubs or even 4 clubs, (I have played a 4 club including putter round before and it was fun) no one is saying you have to carry 14. They are simply saying carry no more than 14. As for speeding up the round, I call BS again. If someone stands over the bag and debates for more than a few seconds whether to hit an 8 or 9 iron, then chances are they are spending much more time chopping away 5 times to cover 200 yards or out digging in the weeds for a lost ball. Certainly there are sometimes when even the best and fastest golfer are caught between clubs, and they enter into an internal, or aloud, debate on which club to hit, but that does not significantly increase the time of the round. It's not like they are deciding "Should I hit my 64 Wedge I added, or this 5 Wood?"

RickyBobby_PR Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Will it make the game easier..maybe for some because they will have clubs for the awkward yardage and not have to take partial swings, but imo many in that category don't practice with a purpose or learn to hit different type shots and everything they do is full speed swings and with wedges this could xausecspin issues that causes the ball to ballooning or just come up short because too much spin. Golf imo has been a game of shot making and playing different shots, it's one of the things about the older pros I like watching and really enjoyed about tiger. The creativity/artistry is such a fascininsting part of the game and imo would be something that gets lost if players had 16 clubs in the bag Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
