I have been playing with some hand-me-down clubs for awhile and decided to upgrade last year. Sadly I wasn't able to play but 1 round with them (such a waste).

That particular round was one of my lowest ever at the particular course, I'm still convinced that it was a confidence thing that particular day.  I have been considering lessons under the analogy of getting new tires on your car and getting an alignment to make everything as perfect as possible.

I know lessons are important, but will I learn to hit my clubs as much as I will work on mechanics and me?

Hopefully this isn't too confusing of a question.  Thanks.

Let me try again.  If I take lessons, how much of the lesson is teaching me mechanics and how much of the lesson is explaining about my style of club?

Lessons shouldn't be focused on a particular type of club. A good teacher will work on your technique and mechanics. Good technique and mechanics can be applied to any club. I suggest you take the lessons.

Titleist 910D3 - 9.5°- Ahina Stiff
Taylormade Burner 2.0 3Wood - Proforce V2 Stiff

Taylormade Burner 5W - Proforce V2 Stiff
910D 21° 3h - Ahina Stiff

Titleist 712 AP2 - KBS Tour
Titleist Vokey - 52* & 56*

Odyssey White Hot #1 XG

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
