‘Plus handicappers, how many sets do you play?’ – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing the strategies of plus handicappers. WRXer ‘extrastiff’ asks members do they use “One set or multiple sets? Witb(s)? Multiple iron sets? Or whole sets (woods, putters)? All in the same place, or at different properties? Prefer one set over the rest? Score better with one? Travel with your set?”

And our members have been discussing the topic in great depth in our forums.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • cugolf14: “One set and I change very rarely. I change irons when the grooves go. Wedges are the same. 3 wood is an original M2, and it’ll be in the bag for a long time because it does exactly what I need it to do. Still using a Scotty from years and years ago. Driver I update every 3 years or so. I’m not an equipment junkie, I find what works and stick with it. Changing equipment requires a lot of time to make sure things are right and, unfortunately, I just don’t have that much time.”
  • MountainKing: “Most of the better golfers I know, single digits and lower, use 1 set and don’t change often other than wedges and the occasional putter. None of them utilize a backup bag. I’m not a + myself, but a low single-digit and do the same. If I had a backup bag, it would be a carbon copy to my everyday bag. I know what these clubs do, not a chance I’d be rotating things in and out.”
  • Yuck: “When I was a Plus, I played the same set for more than a decade. Wilson FG17 tour blades, Macgregor Eye-o- Magic Driver and 3 Wood. Bullseye 35 Standard putter. Once I started switching clubs, I got worse, or I got worse and started switching clubs. ( I also started having kids).”
  • ThinkingPlus: “One set. I only switch clubs if I run into a problem I can’t fix with swing. For example, as the years go by, I switch drivers because my swing speed has dropped and I need a lighter/softer flex shaft. I also keep a variety of wedges around with different bounce/grind options for when I play tournaments outside the hard pan belt. My WITB is in my signature.”
