DV8 Clubs

  1. 1. Would you like to build/deconstruct your clubs with every swing?

    • No thanks, I like my clubs all put together!

Has anyone seen anything like this before?  I'm not sure it would be for me.  But I could see this being used by someone that travels a good bit, but might not want to lug around a full size bag.  Would anyone here be interested in trying this?

I think that's pretty cool, actually, but really doubt how practical it would be. Can you imagine playing behind someone who had to assemble a new club before every shot? I'm sceptical as to how well this would actually work.

The main issue is it would make any round you played not valid. You aren't allowed to make changes to your clubs during a round. Also I wouldn't want to be bothered with assembling a club constantly on the course, would tend to slow down play.

All you need is one of these (and a quarter in your pocket to make adjustments).

Not legal either, but easy to adjust from driving iron to lob wedge and putter. 

Kind of fun once you get used to the unusual ball distances and flights.. Yes, you can make pars and birdies with this thing. I have.

Heck yeah I'd use something like that if it worked well.  IMO - the rule about not being able to adjust your club during a round was created before the advent of adjustable clubs and, as such, true adjustable clubs are disallowed only on a technicality.  I can see no reason to disallow something like the DV8, no "extra advantage" that one would gain from using it. 

Adjusting loft on a driver during a round could be construed as having an extra club that isn't counted . .so I can see that not being allowed.  It doesn't seem like the DV8's have adjustable lofts and lies so as long as you have 14 or fewer clubheads . . .I think the DV8 should be legal.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
