Long live the half set

Published

4 years ago

Dec 23, 2019

There has been a growing movement in golf over the last few years to simplify and make the game less complicated by using fewer clubs, and the groundswell has been building. Most golfers learning the game start with a half set to make the game easier and help clarify the decision process on the course. As golfers progress, the desire to “fill holes in a set” can lead to purchasing more clubs—but do you really need them? A lot of people don’t think so.

Using fewer than 14 clubs affects golfers differently depending on skill. For example, as mentioned off the top, it gives those starting out the basic amount of clubs to learn on and creates larger distance gaps between each one to help with club selection. For more advanced players, using a half set of 8 clubs or less brings in the opportunity to use more creative measures to hit shots and get the ball close to the intended target. Whether it be going full bore to squeak out a few extra yards or taking a longer club and finessing a shot, there is more than one way to execute and fewer clubs give you those chances more often.

The modern game of hit it far, use the shortest club possible into the approach, and make a putt is fun but has robbed the game of so much creativity and imagination. Using imagination is part of what golf architects have challenged golfers to do since the inception of the game, a perfect example of this took place at the 2019 Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne—one of the top golf courses in the world. During the matches, we got to see a lot of variance in how players chose to approach holes which made things entertaining to watch. What we saw at Royal Melbourne was the polar opposite of the day-to-day “target golf” we see in the modern professional game. “Target golf” is an odd term when you break it down, because regardless of the style of course you are playing, you will always be trying to hit a target, it just might not be where you initially expect and that’s where creativity makes this game fun.

Building a Set

If you already have a full set, remember, it means you also have a half set too! No need to try and put one together. But if you are in the market, for building a half set from scratch, there are a couple of factors to keep in mind

The putter isn’t going anywhere so build your set from the short clubs up. Regardless of how many clubs you are planning to carry, a majority of your shots are still going to be hit inside 100 yards.
It’s easier to hit shots that go shorter than trying to make a club go further. Pick the most versatile clubs in your bag to make sure you have the chance to hit almost any yardage.
Pay attention to iron lofts. Many modern sets have 4-5 degrees between clubs, but as you get to the longer irons those gaps can get smaller quickly. You don’t necessarily need every other iron in your bag.
A driving club is still very important. Unless you plan to go completely minimalist keeping a driver in the bag is a good idea. It has the largest face and is the most forgiving club off the tee.

Modern interpretations

As the half set trend continues to grow, manufacturers are getting in on the action. The most recent notable being Linksoul in collaboration with Miura Golf and their Color Theory Irons. Consisting of four clubs with the lofts 25, 32, 40, and 49 degrees, each one is marked by a color instead of a number as a way to differentiate, and in true Linksoul style creates something both understated and unique. As a limited edition they are on the higher end at $1,300 for the set/$325 a club, but that falls directly in line with standard Miura pricing, and should not be a shock to those looking for a club in that category.

Another niche player in this is National Custom Works. Having spoken with founder Patrick Boyd on multiple occasions, one of the biggest requests they get for their entirely custom sets is for short sets between 4-6 clubs. Each set is 100 percent bespoke, and with that, pricing varies per project. Please remember though, purchasing a whole new set is not a necessity and just an option.

Like many that I have spoken with about this topic, I fit into both camps of the club setup game. I love having the option of all 14 clubs, and when it comes to a properly fit set its always going to offer peak performance, but it’s not a requirement to get maximum enjoyment. Depending on the course or even the time of day, 6-8 clubs are really all I need—especially for a quick nine at dusk in the middle of summer. It’s easier to carry, allows me to walk faster, and its a great way to get in some shotmaking practice when a trip to the range is out of the question.

The beautiful thing about golf is you can play it any way you want—it’s a freeform game. If you have a course, some clubs, and a ball you can play—and speaking to clubs, you certainly don’t need all 14.

After many years of carting around a full set, I found that just 9 clubs can do the biz for me:

Driver
#7 wood
7 8 9 pw sw lw
putter

I have no use for long irons, the #7 wood covers those. Wouldn’t mind adding a #9 wood at some stage but managing ok in the meantime.

This year I was playing with six golf clubs.

driver
hybrid
7 iron
9th iron
Wedge
putter

The best score is 78, which is much more fun and creative than in the past when we had a full set of 14. Also, even to adjust the distance, loose swings are strictly prohibited. I’ve been tired of playing golf for 25 years, but now I feel like golf is fun again.

The creative aspect of using less than 14 clubs is the main reason why I only carry 10. However, I do it for another reason. Confidence. I struggle to hit long irons and find myself never touching my 3 wood. I carry Driver, 4hy, 6-PW, 52, 58. I’m confident that I can hit any shot I need to with the clubs I carry. The courses I play are usually between 6500-6700 yards. The need to have more than 190 (the length I hit my 4hy) on par 4’s is just non existent. Yeah it sucks not being able to go for par 5’s from time to time, but to be honest, more times than not I think I’m better off hitting to a good wedge number and making putts. Just my 2 cents. Just have fun out there guys!

I carry 8 clubs and maintain an 11 handicap (not a low cap, but I’m proud of it). Driver, 7w, 5 hybrid, 8i, 9i, W, SW, putter. I almost never find myself in a situation where I feel I need another club. Creative shot making can be required, tho.

Been playing with a reduced set of clubs from the start. My 6i is 27* (really a 5i) and the 5i is 24*, so I dropped the 5i in favor of a 22* hybrid. So I have Driver, 22* hybrid, 6-pw, 56*, putter. I can hit that hybrid 200+ and Im not making many approach shots beyond that, so leaving another wood out of the bag just keeps me out out of trouble. As for not having a handful of wedges – I can hit 99% of greens inside 120 yards with that jacked up PW and that 56* so I dont really fuss with with more wedges.

I walk and carry when I play golf. That’s how I started and still prefer when I play. I’ve begun using a cart when I walk with a full bag due to back issues. The half set in a Sunday bag makes it much easier on my back playing with a 8 or less clubs. It’s fun to be creative on shot selections and you actually have to think your way around the course based on the clubs you have and not just bomb it. What I’ve found is half or full set, I’ve shot the same score.

Funny how things come around. I wrote an English paper in college on this very concept in 1980. The premise of my argument was that a person new to the game did not need 14 clubs. In fact prior to 1936, a player could have as many clubs in his bag as needed. The average at that time was 18-20. So, as it became rules were put in place and of course the manufactures of the day figured out what worked best for profits. So, here we are 2020 and you have manufactures and marketers working together…all we are looking at here with these 2 high end brands are profits: convincing a buyer to spend $1500 for a 1/2 set instead of $2500-$3000?

Understand since 1980 I still believe that 14 clubs are not needed. But $1500 sets are not as well.
There is always a market, but the millennial demographic going forward will not spend this kind of money.

Playing with half-set is a great way to train & practice. It forces one to focus; knowing the actual carry distance & controlling/shaping shots per club, in turn making strategic approaches the only viable option. Creative shots are cherished in this setup, which is a big plus.

I’m sorry, but no. This is horrible advice for newcomers, or even the average player. Unless you are capable of hitting a knockdown, shaping the ball, or comfortably hitting a club to increase or decrease distance, you’re better off with a regulation set. Trying to swing too hard, too soft etc. will only lead to poor habits. I’m surprised I’m seeing this on golfWRX.

  With respect, it’s great advice for newcomers. 1. It simplifies the game and decision making, removing the likelihood of 5 hour rounds 2. Newcomers don’t have the swing speed nor the consistency of strike to differentiate between their irons anyway (why not just have a 5 iron when their 4, 5 and 6 all go the exact same average distance?). 3. Those shots you described, how do you think people learn them? By needing to hit them.
  I am biased though! I’m a 1 hcp who only plays with a half set and a sunday bag.

    I second this. Couple with the fact that most munis that beginners are going to play will have greens that may be 20 yards deep or more, you cut out that in between club. Play to the back, hope to land it on, and go.

      This can easily be done with 7-9 clubs. Driver, hybrid/high lofted FW wood, 6-PW, SW, Putter. If you want to cut it to 7, alternate iron pulls.

  Couldn’t disagree more, newbs could hardly hit one club well yet alone 14. I’m a huge proponent for a first timer to only play with 4 clubs till they can regularly hit straight and only add clubs as they see fit till they work themselves towards a full set. Give me a 6i, 9i, 54 and a putter and I’ll break 90 just fine which is a great score for a newb.

I usually buy my clubs at thrift shops. Find some old forgings from a broken set – Reshaft with x100 bend out the offset grind the soles. I usually throw together a set for under $50.

Miura…lol…people have more money than sense. To each his own but I doubt they are any better than what I can make.

I was surprised to see this article, but this is exactly what I did 3 yrs ago and it has rekindled my enthusiasm for the game. I carry 3w, 4h, 6i, 8i, PW, 58 deg and putter. As I’ve gotten older I’ve reset my expectations and reasons for playing. I play to enjoy the day out, get some exercise, and try to break 80. Fewer clubs means I can can carry easily these in a Sunday bag and enjoy the walk. I also think and stress a lot less on the course and score about the same as I did when I carried a full set.

I’ve settled on 6 clubs after much experimenting:

Driver (12°)…Hybrid (23°, set for 25°)…6 (28°)…9 (41°)…SW (56°)…Putter

Maximum versatility & motivation to walk.

I have about 20 (Of 78) rounds this year with 8 clubs and I LOVE it!
Driver
5w
5h
6i
8i
Pw
Sw
Putter

What I love most about a half set is that it has made it super easy to carry while golfing which I totally forgot how much nicer it is than pushing or riding.

I once played a tournament in Malta (I was in the Navy) against an older gent who carried 6 clubs in a canvas bag with a broken strap. He putted and chipped with what looked like a cut down 2 iron. I was sporting a full set of Haig Ultras and MacGregor woods. He closed me out on the 12th or 13th hole. I am now 80 and carry a Driver,9wood, 6,8,P, gap and SW and an Otey Crisman putter. I love to play. My handicap is the same as it was years ago and my only concession is to move up to the senior tees. Golf is great

Funny how Hogan did just this, and yet it didn’t go over. Instead of numbers, they put lofts on the clubs. Allowed you to pick which lofts and clubs you thought fit your game. Was just in the last three years maybe? Everyone laughed, now it’s trendy lol. We’ve played three club tournaments since I was just double digits. I’m 41 now. Not a new idea. Teaches creativity and simplifies the game. KISS ” KEEP IT SIMPLE,STUPID!”

I grew up playing 1 or 2 clubs under 14 – and can easily now play with 10 +/-

But I became more of a shot-maker, not a “banger”.

Let’s get the tour to host a 7- club tournament, and see how the big boys do…

And make them play 18 holes under 3:30 as well

If you want to improve your game see your pro, and watch lots of you tube lessons. Some of my best scores have been in 3 club + putter competitions. 9 wood, 9 iron, 52deg wedge always gets me 36 points, but, more fun with a whole bag to choose from. Get fitted by a pro.

For the last year or so, I’ve only carried 11 clubs: driver, 18 and 24 degree hybrids, 6i-PW, 52 and 58 degree wedges, and putter. All my clubs are reliable and forgiving, distance gaps are manageable, and decision-making is much easier.

If need be, I can get down to 8 clubs by leaving out my 7 and 9 irons, and using a 21 degree hybrid instead of the 18 and 24.

I’ve been carrying a very abbreviated set for years. A seven fairway wood with a longer shaft, a six iron, a nine iron, and a putter. Very convenient in a little carry bag and it’s surprising how many pars you score and how good you get a creating shots especially around hazards. Pure fun.
So light to carry.

I think this is a very good idea. For my part I carry 11 or 12 clubs so reducing that to 7 or 8 wouldn’t be that big of a problem. I would think if I or anyone looked at the clubs they actually use in a round it wouldn’t be more than 10 at the most. When I think about it, the “ideal” set might be: Driver or 2 wood for tee shots, plus 4 hybrid or iron, 6 iron, 8 iron, pitching wedge, sand wedge and putter. The nice thing about a 2 wood or strong wood is that it can also be used off of the fairway. Even if a fairway wood is added you still only have 8 clubs.

  That is exactly the short set I use quite often. I used it once to shoot an 81 on a course I had never seen before. It was fun to have to be creative on almost every hole–the art of golf.
  
  Our men’s club has a 3 clubs and a putter day every year. Almost everyone shoots the score they normally shoot, or very near it, and asks, when it’s over, “Why do we always take those extra clubs?” which they do the next week when it’s back to normal. My choices? 19* hybrid, 7-iron, sand wedge, putter.

    Can put 11 club bag together but usually leave half my irons so play with 8.

John Daly’s $750 custom irons and 10 must-see gear photos from the 2024 PGA Championship

Published

May 16, 2024

Andrew Tursky

Welcome to the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky.

In the last two PGA Championships held at Valhalla, Tiger Woods won in 2000 – when he famously pointed his golf ball into the hole during the historic duel with Bob May – and Rory McIlroy won the 2014 event, basically in the dark on the final hole.

The point is, history shows that Valhalla tends to produce top-tier champions and plenty of drama.

This week at the 2024 PGA Championship, GolfWRX got its first up-close look at what some of the LIV Tour players have in their bags in 2024. We also caught back up with a few PGA Championship legends, such as Rich Beem and John Daly, and we dove into the bags of PGA Sectional qualifiers, too.

In total, we captured 47 different photo galleries this week, including 32 individual What’s In The Bag (WITB) forum threads. Click here to see all of our photos from the event, or continue reading to see my 10 equipment highlights from Valhalla.

1) Brooks Koepka’s new putter

Koepka was previously using a Scotty Cameron T5.5 putter with a slant neck, which he used to win at the beginning of the month in Singapore on the LIV tour. This week, however, he tried a T5.5 with a plumbers neck instead of the slant neck, and it’s immediately going in the bag. According to Scotty Cameron Tour rep Drew Page, Koepka already loved the head, and now finds the plumbers neck a bit more familiar to the blade-style putters he’s used throughout most of his career.

See Koepka’s full WITB here

2) The lead tape king returns, with putting goggles

Phil Mickelson has always been one of the GOATs when it comes to lead tape usage, so it was no surprise to see his 64-degree custom Callaway wedge slathered with slabs of lead tape on the back.

The big surprise was that lefty was spotted using ProAim putting training goggles on Wednesday during his warm-up session.

The ProAim goggles are helpful to find center lines and ensure proper alignment to the target.

See Phil Mickelson’s full WITB from the 2024 PGA Championship

3) Dobyns’ old-school gamer setup

Speaking of lead tape, check out Matt Dobyn’s old Titleist 718 T-MB irons, which are so loaded with lead tape that the club is nearly unrecognizable.

Respect.

The head professional at Meadow Brook Club is making his sixth start in a PGA Championship, and he’s using a throwback Callaway GBB Epic driver with MOI-boosting lead tape and adjustable weight placements.

As GolfWRX Forum user “InTheBag” pointed out in our Matt Dobyns’ WITB thread, he has the type of setup that makes you want to hide your wallet: “I don’t know Mr. Dobyns, but one look at that bag tells me he can take your money,” writes InTheBag.

Spot on.

4) John Daly’s custom Sub70 irons and wedges

We first saw John Daly using $750 direct-to-consumer Sub70 659-CB irons and TAIII wedges at the 2023 PNC Championship, and he still has them in the bag, but he’s since stepped up the customization on the Sub70 clubs.

Does Daly ever NOT keep things entertaining?

A true showman.

5) DJ’s custom putter

Dustin Johnson has always been one to test multiple putters week-to-week, and he has a keen eye for different alignment lines and crowns. This week, he’s opting for a completely gray TaylorMade Spider Tour “T3.0” prototype with a short slant neck.

See the rest of DJ’s WITB from the week here

6) Patrick Reed still rocking GrindWorks irons

Patrick Reed knows his stuff when it comes to equipment, and he’s a prolific tester. Still, however, the GrindWorks PR-101A irons are squarely in the bag after his departure to the LIV tour.

The most notable new addition to Reed’s bag is this Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond 3-wood.

Click here to see Reed’s full WITB from this week

7) Beem’s Scratch set

Rich Beem, who won the 2002 PGA Championship at Hazeltine National, came to the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla with a bag full of Scratch Golf irons, which are loaded with lead tape and equipped with some of the coolest custom ferrules in professional golf.

See Rich Beem’s full WITB here

8) Jon Rahm’s 10-iron

Before going to LIV, Rahm was using a Callaway Apex TCB pitching wedge.

Now, he’s using a Callaway Apex TCB “10 iron.”

He’s also since upgraded to three Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke metalwoods, and fresh stampings on his Jaws Raw wedges. Click here to see Rahm’s full WITB from the 2024 PGA Championship.

9) “Why so serious?”

Tyrrell Hatton, another LIV player in the 2024 PGA Championship field, channels his inner Joker to ask everyone, “Why so serious?”

See Hatton’s full WITB here

10) Block’s “Proto” iron, from address

As you probably know by now, Block switched out of his old TaylorMade Tour Preferred MC 2014 irons, and into a full set of TaylorMade’s new “Proto” irons. We’ve already seen the Proto 4-iron in the bags of Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa, but this is our first look at the higher-lofted irons in the set.

Here’s a look at the 7-iron from address:

See what GolfWRX members are saying about the Proto irons in our Forums

And, with that, we say goodbye to Louisville, and the second major championship of the 2024 season. We’ll see you next week at the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas after a champion has been crowned.

Until then, don’t forget to check out all of our photos from this week at the 2024 PGA Championship!

Club Junkie WITB, league night week 5: Another L.A.B. putter arises

Published

Brian Knudson
