Today i saw 8 clubs in one...

[westcyderydin]

im a plumber and we were at some cottage doing a job and in the corner there was this old golf club. it had a dial that you can loosen and slots where there was the number of the club. you loosen it and turn the face to whatever iron the slot says and then you tighten it back up. who needs 8 irons? why not just one haha. it must feel like hitting boulders when you hit the ball with that thing. anyone ever seen one of these? its the only time i ever have.

Probably haven't seen any because it's completely illegal. But would definitely work in a practice round if you weren't allowed to carry a bag.

Sounds like the old "Super Stick" club.

These are all over eBay - the co.uk eBay anyway. They look so gimmicky and terrible. imagine having the same length shaft for all 8 irons!

Actually clubs with one shaft length are really manufactured and sold. The person having started the business is convinced about his idea. All clubs have the length of 8 iron and the lie of club heads has been adjusted accordingly.

Never tried them but would like to.

Yeh i think i have heard of this. Though the lie wouldnt change i don't think, if all the shafts were the same length.

Some of the Super Stick clubs are apparently length adjustable. Also, the single length irons, there's another company that makes them, Henry Griffitts I believe. Actually, I'd love to get some Henry Griffitts fairway woods, as they offer them in upright lies, but they only sell clubs through PGA professionals, and you have to go through a whole lesson and clubfitting... How stupid is that? Not a great business model.

I remember them from way back in the 80's. Didn't know they were still around.

Well, the lie has to be altered, otherwise 4 iron shots would be like chipping with the toe of the club...

Years ago, I saw a club like this in an inflight "mall" magazine---looked gimmicky, heavy, and not very playable.
