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!

    • Day 23: did the yardstick putting drill for a while. Checked set up in the mirror - need to get those hands more vertical. 
    • PGA didn’t make Scottie their golden boy. He made his self number one by beating everybody that showed up, including Rahm, Bryson and all the other ones that were with the PGA and left. PGA offered them a way back, Koepka took it and Reeds on his way back. 
    • Day 43 (20 Apr 26) - Day spent helping with golf team conference tournament, did get in some swings with the Pw after I got home.  
    • Day 12, April 20.  I spent the better part of an hour practicing various putting, primarily within 10'.   I finished with a 4' drill, the double around-the-world (eventually).  That is, set down 12 coins around the cup at 4', all face up.  Go around the clock.  Make the putt?  Turn the coin over (if it's heads-up) or pick it up (if tails up).  Count the total putts needed to sink all 24 (two from each station).  I took 48 total putts, not great, even given how bad my putting is, but is a wake-up call.  I hope to add to my schedule a lot more time to practice (period) and also putting.   For context, 37 total putts on this drill is about the 18 handicap baseline, and as someone aiming to get his handicap into the single digits in the coming months, making another 4' putt per round would go a decent way ... or even better, getting my 4' putt average under 65% (the bogey baseline).  It'd be great to even get up to 80% (scratch baseline) of course. Also, to clarify yesterday's comment, when I "went for it in two" on that par-5, the "it" I was going for in two was the green, not the boundary fence, despite where the ball ended up. 😕 
    • Day 243 4-20 wrist arch in downswing and some flow drills. Worked on some hip/chest sepeation in backswing. Used mirror and recorded. Foam balls.
