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.

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 👏🏽

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.

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.

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.

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👍🏽🏌️

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.

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

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.

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

Btw, in part based on one of your previous posts, I did pick up (and paid for) a 7 wood which has quickly become my fairway club of choice and one that’s appreciated by the many worms saved from oblivion by the fact I got the damn ball off the ground and forward! 😊

So true - my high handicap 1/2 set selection is Ping G30 Driver set at 11* Ancient Dunlop 5 Wood 21* Mizuno JPX 6 hybrid 28* Srixon Ad403 (8 and PW) Taylormade MG 56* Ping Anser Putter Without these EASY clubs - golf would be so much less fun ! Evaluate your game on the shots you actually play not the occasional very good shots you play once in s while 😂

Hi, i used to have a 9 wood in my bag which is very easy to hit and launch for 160to170yards.. But comparing it to a hybrid, the dispersion will become a factor... If you are just a beginner and trying to break 100, its a big help.. but if your trying to break 80, a hybrid will help you more due to a narrower dispersion pattern

I will buy a $500 putter the day after I win the Powerball lottery. I play with a $22 putter that looks just like the ones from a mini-golf course. I did put a $17 Winn grip on it though. I do have some of the clubs that you suggested in the video, but since I can't hit irons, I have all hybrids -5 thru PW, and 3,5,7, and 9 woods. I use an Acer Flipper and Chipper around the greens. My driver is a 44" Maxvert 12° driver.

Love your channel but even though my handicap has gone up now that I'm in my 70's, saying that higher handicaps shouldn't have a driver, well, I disagree. Get fit for the right mix of clubs. Today, with the exception of one hole, I hit my driver well. I agree with hybrids and game improvement irons. Not everyone needs a 7 wood. That would be dependent up fitting and gap and mix of clubs. Also, getting the right ball. Don't assume that a soft ball is the best one.
