revkev Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Yeah but pros will change clubs faster than even we do. I haven't watched the video but this is one that seems obvious on the surface - lessons but then on second thought perhaps its not. For example, what if there's no intent to follow through on what's being learned? Any teacher knows that his or her students are fully capable of negating any lesson that's taught. But if we aren't being asked to think too much on this one it has to be lessons.

Tom the Golf Nut Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I haven't watched yet, but IMO it all depends on the skill level of the golfer. If you are a 20 to 30 handicap get overall lessons. Then you can properly select the clubs you need to help move forward. If you are a 10 to 19. Get specific lessons on where you need improvement. Then get the equipment you need. (Putter wedge, driver, irons) if you are under a 10 SHOP AWAY!

Middler Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I think Tony said it best. In general if you have 30 year old club/blades, almost anything you buy new will improve your game. But if you have reasonably current tech (less than 10 yo?), new clubs aren't likely to make a huge difference - lessons and a commitment to work at it are probably better money spent. It's still case by case, most high HI players would benefit from multiple lessons and a commitment to work at it more than an equipment change. A dialed in or very consistent player is more likely to see a benefit from new equipment properly fitted. It was funny in the end he said, 'you all (audience) need to buy more stuff to support what MGS does, so he (Tony) can pay for more lessons.' Tongue in cheek, and not.

theebdk Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Symbiotic relationship. Find a good pro who understands your game through a few lessons and have them make equipment recommendations. Best case is they can fit you for the correct clubs or can recommend a good fitter. Did this years ago and went from a high handicapper to a mid handicapper.

MattWillGolf Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 While shiny and new is always fun, I’d go with lessons at this point. The challenge is finding the right pro to give lessons. Is there such a thing as “Buyers Guide” for lessons. I’m new in my area and I’m just wondering where to begin. Chris nailed it in the podcast Golf Digest runs the best articles but as we’ve learned from MGS, I’d question their methodology.

But if you have reasonably current tech (less than 10 yo?), new clubs aren't likely to make a huge difference - lessons and a commitment to work at it are probably better money spent. Well, in spring 2019, I was fitted for irons and changed my 30+ year in the bag PE2's for G410's. Seeing about a 5 stroke improvement and think it fair to split the gain between the new arrows and simply playing more since retiring. I had a really bad experience with lessons in my early 20's; pretty significant swing changes that just did not work out. Very well known and competent instructor, and I spent a lot of time trying to make it work. Big time frustration. It is my belief that lowering one's handicap, short of near full time commitment to lessons and training, follows an asymptotic curve the lower you go. Going from 8 to 2 is, for most players, WAY tougher than going from 25 to 15. Once I complete my full bag fitting this winter with a top end fitting facility, I will turn my investments to lessons. First I want to assure myself I'm playing the best clubs/shafts for me... and I have a gnawing belief I'm not. But yes, to Tony's point and as highlighted by the video @GolfSpy Strokershared, lessons are the better investment if you're confident in the sticks your playing.

HAC Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) I think the answer, as with most things, is it depends and sometimes people need both. I am a senior golfer and play with other senior golfers. I see a number of them have good swings but need lighter clubs because they don't swing as fast as they used to do. I saw a guy I know in his 80s hit a XXIO driver and gain about 15-20 yards from basically the first drive. He has lost a good bit of distance just in the few years I have known him and I cannot imagine him getting the distance from lessons that he got in this club. Similarly, a good friend in his early 60s just demoed a Callaway Driver with a lighter shaft and hit the ball much better than he was hitting his current driver (a Ping G30). I bought a Ping Glide 3 sand wedge this summer with 14 degrees of bounce and a graphite shaft and am having much more success out of the rough and in bunkers than I did with my old Volkey with a steel shaft and 8 degrees of bounce. I esp. think the combination of more bounce and a lighter shaft is helping me out of the very thick rough we have at my club. But, when I was having trouble driving the ball straight earlier this year I took a couple of lessons from the pro I typically get lessons from rather than buy a new driver to "fix" the problem. I may buy a new driver (I have demoed a few at my club) but only now after I have straightened out my swing. So, as I said I think it depends.

PingMD702 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I used to think clubs first over lessons. I moved from my Ping G5 to i500/blueprint combo set which really forced me to improve my ball striking or I am hitting a 7 iron 130 yards hahah! I then got help from a friend who pointed me in the right direction to a local pro who helped me dial in the game. I definitely would recommend not going the route I chose. Dial in your swing with your old clubs and when you feel pretty consistent then go out and get fitted for the new set. You'll have the confidence knowing you'll be able to game your new set of irons and get the satisfaction of shiny new sticks! Hope this helps!

The four lowest HI players in our league (of 120+ players) all use older clubs, and they don't even take particularly good care of them. The lowest HI player is using 20 yo Mizuno blades, and hits the crap out of the ball - because he has a consistent swing, all four of them have beautiful swings. All four of them use balls they find exclusively (top tier tour makes/models - and they leave the rest), they wouldn't even spring for buying new balls... Sure we should all get fit once in a while, but going from one generation to the next isn't going to improve your scoring - unless you're one of the unlucky few who were grossly misfit to begin with. Any Golf Galaxy can tell you if you've been grossly misfit - for free. And BONUS - If you take lessons from a pro, he/she can probably tell you if you your current clubs are grossly misfit.

Tarheelvolvo Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I guarantee if you gave Tiger, Bryson, Justin, Brooks, really anybody on tour your exact same clubs they would still shoot a 68 or lower at your course. Having just upgraded my 20+year old equipment, it has certainly helped my game, but it just means I can hit the ball further into the woods on those errant shots However, this brings up another question I'm sure the OP has - how do you find a good coach? After your first Lesson you'll see improvement with just about anybody, but how can you tell if you've found a good coach that you would want to keep for awhile? It's not like there are amazon reviews for these guys/gals!
