Ok, so I have been looking at new clubs for about a year, and I still haven't forked over the dough to get em. One of the main reasons that I want new clubs is because they are too short for me. I am 6'4, and my clubs were given to me by a guy who is only about 6'1. I'm pretty sure they were too short for him also. My question is this... does anyone know if it would be cheaper to jsut buy all new shafts (fitted by a store) rather than to buy all new clubs? I haven't looked into this for myself yet... like I said, it was just a thought I had on the way home today. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

It all depends on how much you are willing to pay for new shafts, and how much your willing to pay if you looking to get all new clubs. Find what you like out of shafts and what you like out of new clubs and compare the prices and there you have your answer. If i were in your situation i'd spring for new clubs, yes you'd have to get used to them and adjust but in the long run it'll be much more worth your money.

In my Black'n'Red :

Driver: R7 TP 460cc 10.5* Reax 65 stiff shaft
3 Wood: Tour Impact 15*
Irons: Tour Impact 3-PWWedges: Vokey Oil Can Spin Milled 54.10, Golfco Baron 58* SWPutter: Tracy II 35"Balls: Prov 1Age:16

Depending on how short they are, you may be able to just extend the shaft. You (or the golf shop) take off the grip and epoxy an extention in, cut it to the right length and put on a new grip. The places around here charge about $7 a club plus the cost of a new grip.

As you lengthen the club the shaft flex will effectively become softer, and the swingweight will go up, but if you like the clubs at all it would probably be worth trying on one or two clubs.

Thanks for the input, I will definitely be checking out the prices on both.

      My Swing (boogielicious)

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Have posted in a while or practiced for that matter. Dealing with a few medical issues. But I was able to practice and film today. I’ve played 5 times this year. Misses have been pulls or heavy shots. I feel this has a lot to do with my lower back issues. When I feel good, I get good rotation and I hit the ball well. Today I felt good. Hips and lower back felt nice and flexible. I worked mainly on the hands feeling from the top. The club head should feel like it’s going down and away from the ball and target at the start of the downswing. The right knee should stay a little flexed at the top. These are the only swing thoughts other than high hands (arms going up) I’ve been focused on. I did PW, 6 iron and Driver today. Here is PW. The hands look better as does the knee in the rehearsal. The knee gets more straight in the actual swing.   My left arm is not straight at impact, which it has never really been. But that’s not the focus of this practice.   6 iron looks better than last time. Driver also looks better than last time. Playing tomorrow. Hopefully my body will cooperate.

      The way to practice this is not at full speed, even if you do manage to "change" something. But no, not quite like that. That's a late lift, but you still have the early roll, and you stand up too much in that swing (likely in trying to "lift" — the "lift" is relative to your torso, not the ground).
