New to the forum.  Novice golfer.  But, I love clubs.  Especially older clubs that I can get for a good price.  So, my question to any and everyone is...  

Where can I find a golf club database?  Not necessarily all inclusive.  Mainly the big names.  I love finding older Ping, Taylormade, Callaway, Nike(definitely now that they aren't making them anymore), Odyssey, etc..  But, for the most part I really don't know what I've got.  I just know that I like the look and how it feels when I swing it.  

I'm hoping to become more "literate" in this field.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  

Thanks and Keep 'em straight out there!

Not a database per se, but take a look at Maltby's Playability Factor. It lists a large number of clubs and classifies them according to "playability" using Maltby's formulas. Just take any of the names there and Google it or search eBay. Also, take a look at eBay's vintage club listings under the brands you want to check out. I was amazed at the sheer number of different models. Good luck! -Marv

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      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.

      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?
