Badchihuahua Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I think 14 is a good number for pros and for regular tournament play. For the average golfer though I think its better to have more clubs available not only to fill in gaps helping their overall game,but to help them figure out which clubs they strike better and therefore give them more work ability on the course for when they get to a point of trying their hand at tournaments and so on. I agree. I don't think an extra club would really help all that much for a particular round in isolation. But trying different clubs will help a player develop their skills a bit and long term would be beneficial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMJG Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I own the maximum 14, but I usually take out a few before each round. I usually have 8-10 golfballs in the bag during the round. Shoes are not kept in the bag. Changed when I get to the course. All in all, my bag, when at the course, is lighter than usual. (I also have a storage box in the trunk for most of my additional golf stuff.) 16 would probably make me re-guess the irons I exiled from my collection. And maybe second guess my use of hybrids. 14 is just fine for me.

ED13 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 There is always a lot of talk about the expense of playing golf. Two more clubs would just add to that expense. I know people don't have to carry the limit of clubs but when I began playing I felt that I had to have them in order to play well. The extra cost due to additional clubs may keep potential golfers away. The funny thing is most of my best rounds were played using 12 clubs or less. Last season I played a round where I used my driver off the tee of the front nine and a 5 iron for the back nine. My score was better for the second nine because I was able to play the back nine with the same ball. tehuti 1 Quote Driver - Ping G410 Woods - Callaway Rogue 5 wood Hybrid - Titleist TS2 21 degree Irons - Taylormade P790 5-PW Wedges - Taylormade MG3 50, 54, 58, SM9 60 Putter - Mizuno Black Carbon BC3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiftyNiblick Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I don't "get" the fourteen club rule. Fourteen isn't a golf number. Eighteen is a golf number and would make a better limit. I don't think many people would actually bag eighteen, but it's just a better number to use. Part of the problem is that people can't choose the loft increments between their clubs. (As we know, bending for loft affects bounce and thus playability.) If wider gaps were available, fewer clubs would be needed, probably. That would certainly work for juniors, ladies, and seniors. I can't play anymore, so my opinion is irrelevant; but I feel that the OEMs are simply not very imaginative when it comes to offerings.

deejaid Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 14 clubs are plenty. I’m sure I could get by with 13 or 12 even. I see many suggest more and more wedges to cover shorter distance gaps, but I think less is more. I tried going with more wedges last year in my Hogan set up and I didn’t like it. I feel this is where growing up playing pitch n putt courses is so helpful for someone’s short game. I’m talking Pitch n Putt not a Par 3 course. Longest hole is maybe 75 yards. You carry a wedge, a putter, and a couple of balls and that’s it. You learn to hit that one wedge any distance you need. I’m waiting for when we only carry one club. Our laser pointer shots the distance which is automatically sent via Bluetooth to our computerized club. The club then adjusts to the proper loft to reach that distance depending on your swing speed and wind and elevation factors.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk cnosil 1 Quote WITB: Stan Thompson “Reactionizer” persimmon woods 1-4 Spalding Tour Edition 3-PW Spalding Top-Flite E.V.A.

I am a HUGE believer in getting to know just one wedge and using it for every shot round the green.

It made practice fun as well as teaching us to use our LW's in different and creative ways. My goal was to become proficient enough with my 60* to play any shot then move on to other wedges. I enjoyed playing my LW so much I never got around to other wedges and feel I can get up and down from virtually anywhere around the green. The only shot I don't have is the long running chip that gets on the ground quickly and rolls like a putt to the hole. ...

I will occasionally use my 50º if I'm short of a couple of our greens that are 40 yards long. My wedges are different than my irons, and chipping with an iron feels so much different that I don't have control of the ball like I do with my wedges. I have hit that long running chip that gets on the ground quickly and rolls like a putt. It's called a bladed or skulled shot. lol Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I regularly carry 15 clubs in my bag, but thats because of MGS and the driving Iron I got on here. I honestly don't know what club I would dump, I have 4H an 4I but I use the 4I almost every punch out shot and the 4H is one of my most consistent longer clubs.

ZMendle10 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) I think that more clubs would only increase the strain on the decision making process. As much as I would love to see the rules change the 14 club rule who is to say that extra those clubs wouldn't benefit people more in the hybrid and wood category as a player gets better. Someone who is just starting out in the game most likely doesn't need anything higher lofted than a 56° as it could potentially do more harm then good. Also options are what make players indecisive. Personally my iron play is where I run into the in between shots not so much my wedges or hybrids/woods which is where these additional club slots will be filled.

The only shot I don't have is the long running chip that gets on the ground quickly and rolls like a putt to the hole. ... I now use a 52*/58* combo because pw's kept getting stronger and I don't need any other wedges. The only time I use the 52* is long bunker shots or long pitches into a strong wind when I need to keep the flight down. This is me these days. I use my 54* for almost every shot around the green. Sometimes I use my 50* for a few shots farther away that need to roll out a bit more. Other than that, I should take the 58* out of the bag.... nothing good ever comes of using it .
