Hello all. I am a fairly new golfer. I usually shoot around 100 and have been golfing for a few years. Probably only have 20 rounds total give or take. Missed last two years with a knee issue but am back 100% and playing a ton. I hit some great shots but for most part am very inconsistent. I understand that you swing and game need to improve.

 

my question is about my clubs and bag/gapping/fitting etc. I am dedicated to getting better. I am intrigued by the one length setups I have seen. I even like the idea of the driving irons though the wedges I’m sure is a big adjustment. I just think it makes a ton of sense for someone like me that does not have tons of years at variable lengths. I could see the consistency of length being very beneficial. Especially if I go regular size driver and everything else one length until putter.

 

my two main questions are I understand fitting would be good for me/ a good lesson. I am not sure if most fitters have one length though or would be receptive to the idea. I am debating a local place that seems very reputable for fitting but am not sure. I do not need to 100% go to one length but I don’t want it immediately shutdown either. 
 

another option would be building the one length style bag on my own either right away or over time and then as I get better and hopefully take lessons maybe get fit more so to make sure shafts are correct and maybe some gapping adjustments while keeping one length. The last question is I know cobra is probably the standard for one length, but I am unsure of what the best ones would be. I would like to do it more game improvement style then something tougher like blades as I do not have enough skills yet.

 

that is a lot to read so thanks for your time and any and all opinions will be appreciated. Thanks!

    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
