    oh and also when you cut off the butt side of the shaft it doesnt stiffen the shaft, you have to cut the tip side down. and 6.0 is stiff flex.

      Eh, reducing the length of a shaft from either end definitely makes it stiffer. Imagine cutting 90% of the shaft away from the top... You now have a super stiff shaft.

    6.0 is stiff and to stiffen a club you have to tip cut it, not cut it from the butt end. Cutting it from the butt end makes it more whippy.

  • @jonq8714
    @jonq8714 2 года назад +1

    Alex should get into some clone clubs, I have a full set that I adore, spent about $700 for a D, 3W, 3H, 5H, 5i-SW single length, Lob W, all new and semi-fit to my specs. For high handicappers it doesn't make a ton of sense to pay for name brands, IMO, when you can get very quality and serviceable clubs for 1/3 of the price. I did take my 5i out of my bag in favor of a hybrid, and out of frustration totally subtracted my 3W in favor of my 3H (consistency issues) and I think i'm going to go single length for my 6i-9i, then standard length for my PW, AW, SW & LW.

    • @Alex-bp7ts
      @Alex-bp7ts 2 года назад

      Totally agree with high handicappers not having to spend too much money for clubs. I bought all my clubs used from a local golf shop so my entire bag cost just under $650!

    • @morantrent67
      @morantrent67 2 года назад +1

      I think more people need to open up to this way of thinking. I personally built my entire set, now two sets, to my own specifications and couldn't be more pleased. I've learned in my 30s that far too many golfers are into looking like they own a Ferarri and then buying the Ferrari of clubs, only to shoot the same or worse, or maybe just a tiny bit better, than me on the links. I like having the story to tell people about how I built my sets. I'm a tinkerer... guilty. But in the end it costs me a fraction of what I'd pay for off-the-rack clubs that i'd then have to spend more on to have adjusted to me.

  • @oliverhooper5746
    @oliverhooper5746 2 года назад +1

    Chris my man - trimming the butt section of the shaft doesn't make it stiffer all that does it make the club shorter... you trim from the tip to increase stiffness.

    Ken I think is the purest striker and cares the least about his clubs other than he likes the way they feel. Kinda cringey hearing all the talk about bounce angles on wedges... Manufacturers have really conned us into thinking we need a lot of expensive crap to play this game 😭

    • @theKOOP4773
      @theKOOP4773 2 года назад +4

      I feel you're missing something big here. Year over year increase on drivers/woods/irons are so minimal and so heavily advertised. However having the right wedges for your swing and course it probably the most crucial fitting portion of your bag. You may be skilled/adaptive/neutral enough to play every grind and bounce effectively, but most are not. Before I knew anything at all I grabbed a cool looking oil can vokey 10-15 years ago with 4 degrees of bounce and couldn't understand why I dug craters out of the ground and got destroyed when I was the least bit fat....
      Today, among a very versatile wedge setup with different grinds and bounces I carry a very wide soled 58 with 14 degrees of bounce around on soft courses, and I the thing is as close to chunkproof as possible. The worst fit club can be hit well, the best fit club and be hit poorly.... that doesn't mean proper bounce/grind won't give you a bit of assistance.
