More Golf launching full line of modular clubs
It was roughly five years ago that Bruce Sizemore unveiled the More wedge—a prototype design that was radically untraditional and uncompromising.
Today, Sizemore’s More Golf is announcing its first full release with the introduction of the MOD-1 irons, wedges, and putters to be available this spring.
“Every so often, a new idea comes around and totally changes the face of an industry. That’s what I believe a fully modular construction can do with golf clubs. We’ve reimagined the future of custom club fitting and what it means to be fully optimized as a golfer.” – Bruce Sizemore
Designed and built in the USA
More Golf is based in Jackson, Michigan, and the MOD-1 series of irons, wedges, and putters were developed in close partnership with Lomar Machine and Tools, a Jackson-area manufacturer that does work in aerospace, automotive, medical, and military fields. This gives More Golf, which is located only minutes from Lomar, a unique advantage when it comes to overseeing control of the manufacturing process.
The partnership with Lomar also puts More Golf in the position of achieving its long-term goal of being the only 100-percent American-made 14-club company.
Modular construction
The Mod-1 irons and wedges are fully modular meaning that each piece can be interchanged to create the perfect club for the intended golfer. According to More golf, the unique design attributes offer some distinct advantages:
- Weight savings – The modular construction removes 50 grams of weight from the hosel of the irons and wedges and adds it into the clubhead where it belongs to stabilize the head.
- Unique hosel position – By positioning the hosel up and in on the face, designers can move the shaft axis closer to the center of the clubhead for extra stability and improved turf interaction.
- Adjustable rear flange – The MOD-1 irons have what More golf calls a “dynamic flange design” intended to create versatility from any lie. The hosel-free leading edge and unique sole contouring helps achieve better contact regardless of the lie. At introduction the MOD-1 irons will be available with two distinct flange options; narrow and wide, with more to be available in the future.

Pricing and Availability
The date for release has not yet been fully finalized with More Golf beyond the launch information of Spring 2021.
The initial release of the MOD-1 Series will be in limited quantities and pricing starts at $427 per iron and wedge and $447 for the Mod-1 Putters. For more information check out Moregolf.com

The problem is mechanical connections come loose. You’re taking that thing with all those doodads attached and then moving it 80 or 90 mph until it smashes into an object, and you’re doing it again and again. Those bolts are coming loose. Golfers will have their clubs ratting and have to carry an allen wrench around everywhere or they won’t perform properly. Then those pieces will occasionally go flying off. You’ll shoot your eye out. As a lawyer of many years, be sure to load up on insurance, because products liability in the U.S. is strict as well as joint-and-several. I, for one, would advise any supplier and retailer who I had as a client that they shouldn’t do business with you. Of course, it will be a boon for the plaintiff’s bar if these ever do reach the market to any significant degree, so there’s that.

That sure looks like a lot of offset for a wedge. Ugly designs all around.

This idea isn’t what golfers want or need. It’s a lego/tinker toy for kids getting into the game.

I thought Cleveland already had the patent for the ugliest clubs ever with the VAS irons?
I mean how does a group of people get together, look at these and think “hey I think we have something special here, let’s invest all of our savings”

I think modular is a cool idea, I can definitely see the advantages. It’s already popular in woods and starting to come into putters more and more. Irons and wedges not so much. The hosel on these is very “Cleveland VAS” which I know some people swear by, although it’s a little challenging to look at.
Anyway the machining work is incredible. I’m sure they are expensive to make. Not sure about the prices though. I’m glad he’s doing this and I think it’s a cool venture. But $3k for a set of irons, I don’t know.

This is exactly what we need. Another wildly expensive golf club. Such a novel concept. I have no interest in these what so ever. I don’t care how good they are. At that price it’s almost a joke.

I was like, this is cool i might try them. But then i saw it was 500 bucks a club, uh yeah no

Daniel,
We hope you do try them! Because they’re modular, you’ll be able to replace the club piece by piece instead of having to start over every time.

yes, this is ugly but i believe this is the way to go for all golf equipment moving forward. the truth is that not all golfers have access to accurate specs and fittings.
being able to modify your grind, bounce, hosel and weight will take golf fitting to whole another level.

Tim
Feb 3, 2021 at 12:21 pm
It is going to take a new generation of golfers to accept and adopt this form of equipment. The premise is mostly valid as we have seen the acceptance and validation of adjustable wood/metals. Cost is prohibitive for most of us, but look at PXG success. Fitting will be interesting and I would think an aftermarket of mods will grow out of it if successful.
ProjectX
Feb 3, 2021 at 4:17 pm
PXG’s success is an illusion. People don’t want to pay that much for clubs which is why they are trying to pivot into the cheaper 0211 line. They will quickly realize their is no profit there which is why Taylormade is up for sale AGAIN. The old saying is if you want to make a billionaire a millionaire just sell them a golf company. It’s an unpopular opinion but PXG will be gone by 2025. Parson’s, regardless of how much money he has, can only operate at a loss for so long before he rips the cord.
MORE GOLF
Feb 5, 2021 at 4:48 pm
Thanks for the feedback, Tim. Getting a proper fit initially is hugely important, but so is making modifications over time that make sense for a golfer’s game and their course conditions. That’s why we believe that modular golf clubs are the future.
