- Welcome to this fun little video with the wonderful Phil Scott (father to Masters champion, Adam Scott!) about an adjustable club
This video was filmed in Crans Sur Sierre and is simply a bit of fun trying a tool that potentially has a lot of value for people new to golf or anyone looking for something a bit different.
We were walking very quickly in this video because a lovely couple had let us slot into the field to give it a go!
Hope you enjoy the video, thank you to Phil and thank you for watching!
Please leave comment with your thoughts on what else we can do to make golf more accessible!
Iona and the team :) x

Fun item! BTW, Iona, you did such a great job at the Ryder Cup presentation ceremony!
Thank you!!
💯👍🇬🇧🇪🇺
That would be a fun club to have!! Go out after work, or a game, and play a quick four, five holes!! It would be nice to walk the fairway with only one club! Another great video Iona!
Now we know why Adam is such great person, his dad is even greater, what an awesome guy.
Always great to watch Iona, fab to see Phill too, thanks for this.
It's so great to see someone who has such a natural ability in the sport and an obvious and infectious passion, also thinking of the development of the sport for the casual. Often those at the pinacle don't have that empathy and foresight to think of attracting new followers. Love the content Iona, and it's so relaxing and therepeutic to watch and listen to.
I think that would be a blast to play a round or a match using that club….✌🏼✌🏼
There is a great video of Jimmy Bullard using one of these against Tubes and Ange, such a cool item, great for travelling.
What a novel idea! Also, the most beautiful backdrop at Crans Sur Sierre!!! Thx Iona for another very enjoyable video!
It’s a lot of fun to play with. Like Phil said, you play it differently. Great to do once in a while. It teaches you to approach the game in an other way 👍
Great video, and the effortless way you present and give off such energy makes you a joy to watch
Star commentator at the Ryder cup as well
You are truly inspirational, Iona. And that comes from someone who has already been around this great game for a bit. You just keep being you, and the rest will take care of itself. Thank you!
Fabulous job, I also wanted to congratulate you on both the Ryder cup and solheim cup content, but then again all your videos are great, lots of fun
Like father, like son. Fun video and what a course! 👏🏼
Thanks for the fun video, Iona. Seems like a great way to break golf down into more manageable little windows of time (as you and Phil said). And I'll echo some of the other comments and say "Congrats and well done at the Ryder Cup!!"
That adjustable club would be brilliant on a par 3 course.
So fun, I've wondered before if someone would make this idea happen! Thanks both for sharing this. Watching your vids is so inspiring right now. I'd taken a break from golf (when I moved between continents) and am returning to it now. These videos are helping me find my game so much. Thanks Iona and team! x
“A ball, a tee, a glove and 1 club”
A BALL!! You’ve clearly never played my sort of ⛳️ golf . 😂😂
Iona I'd love to see you and Alex Etches play a nine with that club. He showed it to us a lil while back and you two would be a wonderful match.
❤ 💯 👍
I love your game and personality is off the charts. I am so glad you are posting content a lot now. One request tho. I’d love to see you do a collaboration with the Bob does Sports guys. Would love to see you in a situation where you let loose a bit and have a lot of fun. I think you with them would be amazing video.
That looked like a lot of fun!
Delightful, as always.
Fun comes in many innovative ways. You looked beautiful at the Ryder Cup presentation Iona. I’m so glad I watch your videos.
You do stride off down the fairway Iona! Poor Phil was huffing and puffing to keep up. 🤣 Not the first adjustable club I’ve seen but certainly the best design!
Looking forward to receive my own Q club, must be fun! Hope for the right choice of shaft though, shall built the club by myself 😊
So good to see you involved with the Ryder Cup Iona.
This idea has come to fruition many times in the past with adjustable clubs. I would have poo pood the idea until now as due to long term ill health haven't been able to play since February. The idea of not having to set up a trolley and a set of clubs would be a very welcome one so I am up for purchasing this club . ❤❤❤❤
I think this would be fun to put a 7i length shaft on to play around with. I realize the stronger loft shots wouldn't go as far but it'd make it quite easy for most people to hit.
Looked at getting Q club but more than I want to pay but may just order the head option.
Great job on the presentation at Ryder Cup Iona. An added surprise to a great finale 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What a great idea thanks again Iona keep up the great content 👍🇦🇺
Charming video. Class.
that was not the first adjustable club I have seen. Certainly the most forgiving looking however. Looks like a good alternative for new golfers.
Apart from being Adams father, Phil is a golf pro and course designer. Absolute legend
Great little video
Brilliant wee video. I want one. I'd also like to congratulate you on your work at the Ryder Cup. Well done
Great episode 👍
This would be a great club to carry with me when I walk my dog around the local courses for 3 or 4 holes. Living in rural Australia the courses around here are usually uninhabited on weekdays. Currently I just take one, usually an 8, or maybe tee off with a hybrid, put it back in the car and then go to the 8 iron for the rest.
I was thinking I would travel with it. The airlines are so notorious for damaging and losing clubs, but I could totally get into this for vacation golf. I don't care so much about score on those rounds, I'm tired, possibly playing with rented clubs anyway. At least I can hit this at the range before I leave town to get used to it a few times.
That was fun, thanks 😄
I need this club… 3 balls…. And reading glasses and I’d be set! Thanks Iona.
That was great
I played with a fella years ago who mastered a similar club at a little executive course. He always shot around par. I couldn't get the hang of it, but was fun.
So easy when travelling!
What great fun Iona
I've been playing this club since December 2022 and it is super fun to play with. It is not a gimmick. It's a very playable club that (once you get used to it...) you can play quality shots with. In fact, the middle settings (5-9) have replaced the old Pings I've played with for years. The most surprising setting was the putter ('P'). You may have to adjust your technique a bit since it's 5* but you might be shocked by the results you get on the greens.
My only question would be how long does it hold up for because you're hitting anywhere from 65-120 shots per round with the same club essentially so I would assume it would need to replaced a whole lot more often
@@ndragon88 Really good question. From my own personal experience...I've played with the club for over 10 months now and have hit thousands of shots (both practice and play) with the club using nearly all of the 11 different settings and have had no problems whatsoever. I cannot speak for the designers of the club but my understanding (from reading some of their posts many months ago...) is that the spring mechanism used can tolerate billions of settings ("clicks") before wearing out. Obviously, the grip will wear out much sooner than a conventional grip because of the multi-purpose manner in which the club is used. Hopefully, the Q Golf people will see this post and chime in on this question.
@johnmule9419 oh I didn't even mean the clicking for the settings I meant the club face itself sorry I wasn't clear. I imagine they were very spot on making everything else last but the clubface you can only do so much right
I want one of these!
My aunty, had a club like that thirty odd years ago in Australia. She played golf with my uncle, carried that one club, a 10 cent coin to adjust it back then, some tees and a couple of ball, it got her out for a game. I have a photo somewhere of it.
I had to look twice for the date, 😂. However, this would be fantastic for beginners.
Would love a game with it.
Love everything you do, but question for you Iona? If beginners don’t know which club to use, how will they know which setting to use?
'...keep it, I'll send the bill!' :)))
Bertie Wooster had one of these in an episode starring Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry
There's a great club for a good walk unspoiled? 😉 Lots of fun to watch.
Love to know the feel of that club. Can't help but think it would feel very disconnected and like the head was about to fall off!?
Its a winner for a Beginner!!!
Tell Phil he can use that phrase Iona 👍
its a cheap way to learn the basics over spending £100s of pounds and then not liking golf and giving up...
That would be a great club for pitch and putt (par 3) courses to rent out.
I had one about 20 years ago, different make, it’s not new, I remember over hitting an approach shot that nearly went into someone’s living room in larkhall
I play with one club all the time. Can’t be arsed carrying a bag; this would solve a problem for me
Currently illegal for comp play, but fascinating - and yes, what a great club for beginners. (Suggestion - get the R&A to change the rule to "14 clubs including multiple adjustment settings. Changing setting must not unduly delay play")
It's also squarely in the "single length set" camp, which is also pretty unusual.
How does it feel, compared to a normal club - more hybrid than iron? (And Ping have just brought out a set that is basically all hybrids too).
Hi Mike
Great suggestion !
Oddly we are not in a rush to make the club legal - submit it ...
The PGA Tour is irrelevant to us - Our club is all about the 99.9999% of golfers who will never play the tour but may want a lighter way to play golf sometimes - or always
@@QGolfClub I was thinking more about the transition between absolute beginner and beginning to play on a course.
And "It's legal - maybe it is a proper club?" to save embarassment
But with instant adjustability, why shouldn't it be? "This club counts as 8 clubs for your bag of 14".
@@mikesnowden1054
Your logic is spot on Mike:
Q has 11 lofts and if we were to submit 11 clubs - each glued and fixed - then they would have to accept all 11.
... Which does ask the questions: "What is the problem USGA and R&A - and are you REALLY interested in growing the game ?
Why not let a golfer take 1 club to the course, which can be configured in play as 11, and count that single club as 11/14
Sorted I reckon .... So the rule could be changed to a "maximum of 14 effective clubs" - and effective defined nicely
Fun topic
You looked good in your dress on Sunday. Good job, Iona.
Loved you on the Ryder cup coverage. Very pleasant surprise
This club has been getting rave reviews. Can see where Adam gets his class.
My golf club runs a 5 club knockout each year. This club will get them diving into the rule book?! I would take my driver, two wedges and putter plus this club. It is after all one club isn’t it?
I have this club. With a regular flex shaft and extra weight of the head it's prone to the righties, especially off the tee. You can and should also change where you grip the club. There's 3 different areas on the grip so you can play reasonably close to a regular club of whatever loft. Putting, I find playing slightly back with forward lean helps clear the longer shaft from my body. I'm experimenting with using the arm-lock seeing as it is a longer shaft. Off the tee there's also a 'stinger' setting, which is halfway between the putter and hybrid= 11 degrees. Fun times!
I've communicated with the inventor and they are aware of the right bias the club has (a cut/fade/slice swing does not work very well with this club) and they are working on "adjustments" to the design (offset blade and more weight towards the heel, etc) that will make it more playable for folks that do not have a draw type swing. The price point for the club will be reduced as well by 25% as of 1/1/2024.
Check out the original Urquhart adjustable club from the 1890's
Unpleasant to play with a modern ball, with a gutty it must have been horrible.
@@CHHickory
I’m a founder here at Q and we actually have one of the original clubs, and whilst I certainly admire its engineering for the time I can share that it’s a pretty terrible club to play with!
Good invention from New Zealand, shame it's illegal to use in competition
I want that club
Only part way through the video. There was an all in one adjustable club a century or more back. The R&A or some body banned it. I'm imagining small time club makers back in the day apoplectic at such a club.
Yep the very first adjustable club Urquhart was even used in the British Open in 1905 with a player who came 18th out of 150, but club professionals didn’t care for it much, because they would sell less clubs …..so in January 1909 the club was made illegal
Don’t think it’s a new idea but seems to be a lot better engineered than past efforts. If they could find a way of making the shaft in two pieces it could go in your luggage and you could play golf anywhere you fancy without the hassle and expense of hiring or lugging a set with you.
Hi _ I an co-founder here at Q Golf _ and I can share we have this in development. We are fussy and are not happy with the way others have done it but we think we have a suitable way
Can't say any more just now _ but expect to have this available in early to mid 2024
Update - travel shaft sorted
Launching late 2024
You missed the 'stinger' setting between putter and hybrid. Would have been so interesting to see you give that a go. Would love to see you play 9 or 18 with this club tbh
I'm Simon a co-founder here at Q Golf, and can add share things we have learnt about teeing off with the Stinger 11° and the Putter 5°
Stinger: For those new to Q the Stinger is just 11° and yes it can be used off the tee - but ONLY if you are patient and are willing to learn AND if your normal driver setting is MORE than 90 mph. Otherwise NAH!
Putter: The putter is just 5° and way too hard!!! I have seen just one good shot with it - 280 on the fly by a long driver
For me if I tee of with the putter the ball is sucked to the ground like it has an extra gravitational force
@QGolfClub oh hey there. Maybe you can answer a question of mine. Just wondering how long the club face lasts and needs replacing to maintain decent spin
@@ndragon88
It's a very good question ... In designing Q we’ve put a lot of focus on durability including having a 455 high-tensile stainless steel face insert with machined grooves.
That said! ...... it’s true that any all-in-one club like Q will naturally get used many times more use than a normal club in a 14 club set, including abrasive bunker shots, but in a way the eventual wear of the Q face could be seen as a celebration of a lot of fun golf !! ??
@QGolfClub it absolutely could but don't discount your successes as it being something more than just fun. I am thinking now of having this club and just adding a bunker wedge and perhaps putter to put in a pencil bag
@@ndragon88 Yep _ Q alone or Q plus 2 or Q plus 4 _ it's all lighter golf
What a nice guy! Great little club. What was the feeling like?
Yeah he’s a great guy and just loves golf and learning all the time. He had so many fun things to try, thought I’d share this one! It felt very different to a normal club to be fair but did a pretty good job and certainly was fun.
Loved that. Where do we purchase?
I think it's Q Golf is the company that makes them
If the shaft adjusted length too, it would literally be all you need for irons!
It has a longer grip, so grip down for shorter club lengths.
Iona could get a par with a broken pool cue.
bertie wooster would be proud
Dear Iona
Another great video. I trust you will get loyalty payments for the one clubs greatest advert How lucky if them to get your recommendation and high praise of that ingenious club Where is it available and how much is it please?
Regards
A.Mulligan
Hey 😊 actually no, I haven’t been paid anything for this episode and infact the company who made this club didn’t even know I was going to make this video, perhaps they still don’t, who knows :)
Eitherway, we wanted to share a genuine moment from Phil - thanks for watching 🙏🏼
@@ontheroadwithiona Thank you for your reply. I watched your latest video What a swing you 've got Are you sure you shouldn't be on the tour? Mind you if you were we wouldn't get your great you tubes Have you heard there is a vacancy for this morning program. I heard it on Jeremy Vine Ch 5 this morning. Jeremy is worried he is going to loose Storm Huntley The media was reporting a Scots lady was in the running. I immediately thought of you Please don't take it Golf needs you as the voice of golf May l request you do some further work on the BBC . I don't have any golf channels If the BBC has any sense they'll make you the golf anchor Maybe you could persuade them to reclaim thier wonderful golf coverage of old.
I had hope to see at the Dunhill? To tell you personally from the behind the ropes you are the voice of golf Your enthusiasm is magical
Regards
A.Mulligan
I want one! Where can I get one???
Does it come with a graphite shaft?
You can buy the head and long grip, then get it fitted for whatever shaft you want
Just a modern update on the SuperStick from the '70s...
Exactly but you could also say a 2023 car is just an update from cars in the 70s .... but which car would you want to buy now?
... the first adjustable club was developed from 1892 so everything comes from somewhere ... all we have done is take modern materials and design and make a club that plays and operates better ... that is all
😎
@@QGolfClub Not saying it isn't. But the hosts were marveling as if it were a new idea. Your version certainly seems better.
How do you get one?
A wee lassie from the links. You sound a wee bit blocked up nasal in this Iona. 🤧⛳️
The "Q" club from Q Golf..
Put in a telescopic shaft so you can put it in your luggage
There is another adjustable club with a telescoping shaft. Rick Shiels tested one.
@@adrianmack3 I have one but the adjustment with a butterfly locking device doesn't work well. This one with the spring and using centrifugal force to lock in it seems a better solution
I’m a cofounder here at Q and I can share that we have a travel shaft option coming later in 2024, but we decided against the telescopic steel scenario because it’s kind of janky - sometimes works - and can even take a bit of skin off 😢
@@QGolfClublook forward to seeing your solution
What is the brand name and where can you get this club?
Hi _ The club is called Q and it is available from our website www.q.golf or from Amazon in the USA and UK. Cheers
Play the putter as a driver.
Did I finally make first comment
🎉😊
What golf course is going to allow me to walk on and play 3 holes, without paying for a full 9? Or are you talking about wealthy members of a golf club?
🕳
Iona is the best thing to happen to Sky Golf (along with Dame Laura) in a LONG time, time to ditch the 'tired' female deadwood
It is a ridiculous expensive club
Great idea horrendous price point. Like you both say this could be a great way into golf but at £300 it’s absolutely not that
Noooooo Please don't start doing any kinda club reviews..Your channel is unique because of it
This isn’t a review. Just a genuine moment between two golf nuts
@@ontheroadwithiona Oh OK, but it comes off as a review 😁imho, stick to you, your practice, your insightful interviews.. Even your whisky 🥃😁.. I remember those lock down videos in your back garden... And stretching.. Those too.. 😁👍
You’ll see this was actually part of a chasing the red episode that’s about to drop this week. Phil had so many fun golf things to show and share with me, we had the cameras rolling for content and I thought some people might like to see this idea, I’d never come across it before.
@@ontheroadwithiona Awesome. I'm looking forward to your next episode.
Iona, love your stuff, thanks so much. Really interesting, and could let me know if the "clubs" are on the market? Who makes it? Etc..
This looks to be a lot of fun, and I would love to walk a course again. I'm 74 and feeble, well lazy mostly. Carrying a bag of clubs, range finder, launch monitor, balls, towels, and whatever. You get my drift. I love playing golf, but...
Keep up the great work you do. I really enjoy it.
❤️🏌️✌️
And when it brakes on the 3rd hole, basically the player is screwed. Ehmmm no thanks.
