The golf clubs you NEED to make golf easier - mid/high handicap edition

[@2Eaglez]

At age 77 shot 2 under 70 yesterday (from the senior tees), I carry a 12* driver, 45” in length and I do choke down and take an abbreviated swing on holes where accuracy is critical, 5 wood that is 1” under standard, my 4 and 5 hybrids are Cobra one length, 6 iron and 7 iron are the same length as the hybrids 8 - GW are standard length. Also carry a 56* face forward wedge and a mallet style putter. That is 12 clubs.

[@andyukh1625]

Best club for me Cobra F9 7 wood , bought new 2 months ago, never been hit for an unbelievable price £130 ! I’m 56, a 22 handicap off the tee 235-240 Fairway finder………. Absolutely changed my game, such a versatile club paired with my F9 5 wood much more control ! Don’t let anyone tell you it’s an old man’s club……….. love the vlog great advice 👏🏽

[@Barneyrubble241]

I'm 61 and have carried a 7 wood in my bag since I won one on caddy's day in 1981. The original one was a steel shafted persimmon 7 wood and was the first 7 wood I had ever even seen. Current one is a Cleveland Launcher that's about 10 years old. LOVE IT!! I also carry a chipper, which is a new addition to my bag after years of bad chipping. I would carry a hybrid, but I tend to snap hook them off the planet. I've made a grip adjustment that has fixed that issue with my other clubs so I need to give another one a try.

[@13noman1]

7 wood is my favorite club! I've carried one for, oh, more than 5 years now.

[@WolfieJon]

Excellent video Andy. Absolutely agree on having one wedge. I carry a 50 and a 56. The 56 is my go to for all shots around the green. Consistency and confidence is key 👍🏼

[@markmay184]

Great video, and sage advice. I’m playing 9 holes tomorrow with “half a bag” Ai-smoke mini driver / Ping G430 7 wood & 5 hybrid / 7 & 9 irons / 56 wedge and putter. A high handicapper

[@jacquesvilleneuve754]

100% in agreement with you Andy. I have done it and golf has become a lot more easier and fun. Ego is to be left at the club house!

[@DonAl9114]

Thank you Andy. Your recommendations are spot on. Many people use golf clubs that they can’t handle. 😊😊😊

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Absolutely

[@MichaelSisley-fw3xr]

Several years ago I dropped the driver out of the bag. I use a 3W (42" and the rest graduate down normally) from the tee, 5W, 7W, 9W, 11W. Irons - 7i to PW (Ping Zing 2), 56, 60 (Tour Edge Hot Launch, very wide super easy to hit). For now, this works for me.

[@Kjustlift]

I’m glad it works for you, but I love irons so much I could never lol

[@johnatchley9754]

Good advice though the exact choice depends on the individual. My driver is my best club so it stays. But following your advice I’ve taken the 3W out, use 5W. As I am 83 and no longer have the swing speed to properly use the longer irons and need help getting height and landing angle to stop on the green, have replaced my traditional forged blade 3, 4 and 5 irons with fairway woods 7, 9 and 11. Love the 7W, you’re absolutely right. The fairway woods seem to work better for me than hybrids. More and more successful tour pros are now playing 7 woods and even 9 woods so we amateurs, from scratch to highest handicap, need to get over the obsolete idea that these high lofted clubs are just for little old ladies. I now have seen 9 woods in the golf store I go to with shafts in flexes from A to R to S to X. For me, my 31 degree 6 iron is now the question point. I can hit it the distance and landing angle I want, but only with a perfect swing, and too often it is 5 or 6 yards short in carry and under 40 degrees landing angle so runs too much. So I added an 11 wood to the bag, but at 27 degree loft it can carry a bit too far in terms of gapping with my 7 iron, so I am also trying out a 29 degree 7 hybrid. However, because the CG of a hybrid is not as far back from the face as the CG of the fairway wood, the 7H tends to fly lower than the 11W and run out further, even though it is easy to hit. So, maybe the solution is to keep the 11W and replace my 34 degree forged blade 7 iron with one of the newer irons with stronger 30 degree loft and the tech help that lowers the CG to deliver the launch, peak height and 40 plus degree landing angle needed to stop fast on the green. Final confession Andy, I do carry 4 wedges: PW, 52 GW, 56 SW and 60 LW. Use the 60 LW all the time mainly for short pitches of 15 to 40 yards to get missed approach shots in the rough around greens popped up and sitting quickly on the green. But it doesn’t have enough bounce for getting out of bunkers, thus the 56 degree SW. The 52 GW is great for chipping. The 47 PW is for chipping and short approach shots. I suppose I could eliminate one, maybe the 52 GW and just learn the manipulate the 47 PW, but don’t see how I could use just one wedge. The loft might not be a problem, but bounce would be. Apologies for the length, but agree with your always practical, unbiased advice and thought my changes to accommodate age (83) and lack of speed, and wrestling with what should be the last iron in the bag, might be of help to others. And we should just remember, the last iron now in the bag of PGA pro Fred Couples, with the effortless power of his smooth swing, is a 7 iron.

This was better than a lesson from a pro. In fact I bet you are or were a pro! Thank you for sharing.

Excellent advice and spot on. I'm well into my 60's and have played for over 50years. Once a single figure blade player I now take help wherever I can find it. Now of 14 I'm still loving golf. I now play hybrids down to 27*, if it's good enough for Fred Couples it's good enough for me.

[@suringhelani5218]

Thanks for the great advice Andy! I have started on the path of being realistic and sold all my players irons to be replaced with game improvement ones. I’ve got Cleveland smart wedges to help around the greens. I used to be off 11 but those days are long gone. I got fed up after last weeks round and sold my p790 irons for Takomo 101 irons. I already have a 7 wood from many years ago. My putting is good as I have a synthetic grass green in my back yard. Living in Sydney it’ll take a while to receive my irons but I’ll be practice my wedges in the mean time. You have just reaffirmed that you need to put the ego away and start doing everything you can to help improve your game. Thanks for posting mate👍🏽🏌️

[@guidoguidi9915]

Hi, I use a 12.5 degree 44.5" driver. A 5 wood 18 degrees, a 7 21 degrees. a 24 degree hybrid and a set of cobra t rail 6 gas, plus a wilson 52 degrees. The putter is a callaway #10 triple track. Happy with the set.

[@rickcudmore8156]

I would also add to select a ball for your handicap and not what your buddies are playing.

[@dougy0761]

I am a high handicappers and I never really got away with hybrids. I’ve put a 7 wood and a 9 wood in my bag in addition to the 5 wood that has long been there. Longest iron is 6 but that is only pulled out occasionally.

[@shorn8156]

Thanks for another great video and advice, a few months ago I returned to playing golf after 8-10 years. First, I had some lessons, then I had a basic club fitting to find my swing details, before buying new clubs. Now aged in mid 60's with a slower swing speed, a few days ago I purchased Cobra T-Rail senior flex graphite set knowing I wouldn't use the 5 iron & also purchased a Cobra Air X 5 Hybrid and Cleveland Hywood 3+ 17 Deg. I was thinking of 7 wood and a wedge and looking to limit the number of clubs in my bag. I don't care what others think of my set clubs its all about enjoying the sport, exercise and fun. Unfortunately mini drivers are too expensive for budget here in Australia but I would like one. This video was perfect timing for me, thanks again.

[@rbonn3880]

Learning how to play just one wedge makes so much sense. Wedge play is about feel, and if you feel confident, you will make better shots. And dear lord, how I love my 6 hybrid for its distance and loft (could be my favorite club).

[@MartinPineda-l8w]

Great help, smarter not harder thinking for better golf,thanks!

[@amir3992]

This is my personal take, from someone who used to have a 30+ handicap now going down to single digit. 1. Forgiving Driver Ping G430max from my experience or get fitted for a Driver 2. 7 wood or 9 wood 3. Ping g430 7hybrid for a confident and reliable 100to150 yards shot 4. Cleveland smartsole Chipper.. which can also be used for 100 yard full swing 5. Cleveland Smartsole SW... With just those clubs and a putter, a highhandicap can definitely score between 90 to 100 everygame... This is based on my personal experience

[@hcharton5722]

Another funny piece of advice here is he saying not to his drive off the tea. But my driver is my most reliable club, even though I am a high handicapper. At 55 years old, I have learned that advice that is good for most people is almost never good for me.

[@snaggletoothproof]

same. I'm a 24 and the driver seems to be the only club I can rely on lol, I do use a mini burner though

👍🏾 yes. Me as well. I’m 38 and my driver is the one thing I can depend on. I started golfing 6 months ago and I’m so inconsistent with my irons but can hit my driver straight

[@robertcourt8593]

I used to be similar, it's most likely an angle of attack issue. If you hit up or level on your clubs it will help with your driving and cause lots of inconsistencies with irons.

Hi Andy get some orka golf on the channel the price the quality the service is what is average golfers need right now in the times we’re in. Golf in the uk is 14% down from last year and it’s the cost that is causing this. A full set of custom fitted irons with a extra wedge for £399 is what us average golfers are crying out for ‼️

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Brands like Orka need to make the effort to get in touch with

[@russellmader1075]

Andy. Recommend the same treatment for the putter as for the wedge. I consider my friends and I average golfers. Most of my friends have three or four putters and are always looking for another. They seem to switch them every round or two depending on how well it did the last time out. They never really get a feel any one of them. I have been using the same Ping putter since 1982. Always feels right and does what I ask it to do. Once you find one that feels right stick with it. It will come around.

[@alancreswell6478]

Great advice. I’ve just changed everything in the bag using the winter to bed them in. TM mini driver, QI10 7 wood, 5-7 eleven hybrid irons, 7-gap wedge hot metal pro and Cleveland 54 &58 wedges. I have a LAB putter. My intent is to have the most forgiving setup, mainly for front to back dispersion. I’m 55, playing off 12. Swing driver at 94 mph and 7 iron at 83 mph. All clubs have graphite shafts. Shot 76 around my own club yesterday in pretty bad conditions 😂😂

[@TheAverageGolfer]

That’s a great round of golf

[@Darth_Rebel_93]

I have almost the same setup. 7 wood is a must. I carry both 5 hybrid and 5 iron cause hybrid goes 10-12 yards longer. Plus 5 iron is great for punch shots under trees and stuff. Also only carry a 54 wedge. Get out of bunkers with it no problem. It’s a very versatile loft of a wedge

5h (26 degrees of loft typically) is an interesting club. In my hands, and I have a similar club head speed to Andy, the ones I have tried (most recently Qi10) go way too high yet I struggle to consistently get enough height with my 4h (G410 lofted up to 23 degrees). This highlights that there are different designs of hybrid and you need to have one that suits your swing. As for putters, I have recently had my first ever putter fitting. It makes a huge difference

[@TheAverageGolfer]

The 5h is a real eye opener for me, very different from a 4 in performance attributes, far higher launching and higher spin despite only a slight increase in loft

Makes sense....too many wedges just gets confusing! PW & a 58° work for me....driver, 4 wood and 4h, 5h and 6h. 7, 8 & 9iron and a putter. Lightens the load a bit!! Love the vid Andy.

Sad to see you not using a LAB putter any more!

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Don’t be sad, be happy 😃

[@DavidJones-ko8gp]

I wonder when we'll see affordable zero torque putters?

[@TheAverageGolfer]

The more that they become the ‘norm’ the price should drop, but let’s be honesty standard putters are now ridiculously expensive

Now, my PXG Allan was $375 new. As a repeat customer, PXG gives me a discount even on the new Allan
