More Golf launching full line of modular clubs

Published

on

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.

    Looks like those clubs were designed by Tom Sizemore, not Bruce Sizemore.

    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

    • MORE GOLF

      Feb 5, 2021 at 4:44 pm

      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.

      The only players who would benefit from the customisation you’re talking about really wouldn’t play a club this ugly

    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.

      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.

    Can’t you just bend the lost and lie on your current irons? Not sure what the point is.

Best ‘forgiving’ wedges – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing the most forgiving wedges on the market. WRXer ‘aaronpoling’ lays out his current setup and what he’s currently considering, saying:

“I am looking at getting new wedges, but looking for a forgiving wedge.

I currently play Ping G25 50°, MD4 54° and 58°. I used to play the CBX2 in the 50°, 54° and 58° and liked them a lot; but like any good dad, my son took them.

I am currently looking Callaway’s CB12 and Cleveland’s CBZ. Anyone have thoughts on these? Or recommendations of other wedges that I should check out?”

And our members have been weighing in with their thoughts and recommendations in response, with one brand coming out emphatically on top.

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.

  • boggyman: “CBZs are amazing wedges!”
  • drewbens: “Agreed, the Cleveland CB wedges are great! Already had a CBX Full Face 2 54 and recently added a 50 and 58 (for well under $100 a piece). Was chipping so well last week that my brother-in-law asked if the wedges were legal. Definitely underrated wedges for those of us that are not scratch golfers.”
  • BogeyTed: “Get Cleveland CBX/CBZ. Very underrated clubs.”

I built the worst fitting clubs ever – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been reacting to a WRXer who claims to have built the “worst fitting clubs ever.” ‘dlow206’ recounts his experience with plenty of insightful findings for where he can go better next time in a detailed post, saying:

“Here’s my story of building the worst fitting clubs ever (for me). And my findings of what a better fit is.

I am short in stature, as well as a very short wrist to floor of 30.5″. I went down a rabbit hole of wanting to try irons 1″ shorter of more than standard length. Given the shorter lengths, the swingweights would be super light unless I added back a ton of weight to the heads, but I don’t like adding an extreme amount of weight back to the heads, so I decided to compensate with heavier shafts (115 grams instead of 95). Played with this set for a while and was hitting all irons extremely poorly. Thin, fat, right, right, left. My swing didn’t deteriorate that much because I was hitting my driver well, woods well, etc.

Went back to my older set of irons, playing at standard length, and my iron play improved immediately. Since then, have been doing more testing, while paying more attention to different possible variables. What I have found is I actually prefer lighter total weight with relatively normal or slightly heavier swingweights. Did a recent fitting and found that 85 gram shafts were better for me than 95 grams with standard length and relatively standard swingweights. 

Still trying to dial in a final iron shaft choice, so have a few contenders that I will be testing. Will be moving away from my current Steelfiber i95 S parallel to lighter and softer

  • MMT 80 parallel R – worked pretty well in a limited number of swings at a fitting
  • Fujikura Travil 85 R – the fitter liked the Axiom 95 R for me at Club Champion, but i didn’t love the effort required to swing them. If there was a 85 Axiom, that would probably have been a great fit. So i am going try a Travil 85 R which is japan only
  • Steelfiber i80 CW R – i have been playing Steelfibers for a long time, so need to give one Steelfiber shaft a shot

Given I do club building work, I am going to build all of these shafts with the All-Fit universal iron adapters to pair with a Srixon 7 iron head for testing. With these adapters, there isn’t a swingweight issue because the amount of weight from drilling out is about equivalent to the universal adapter components.”

And our members have been sharing their reactions in our forum.

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.

  • Mikey_HACKilroy: “That length cut costs you a fair amount in swing points. I’d posit the length mattered more than the weight because a 115g shaft isn’t going to actually add enough back after cutting an inch off. Does it mean 115 would ultimately work? Hard to say. Maybe try a 1/2″ cut and add 2g to the head to compensate assuming the 7i is 37″ long. Maybe that will feel better. It translates to the same ~D2 you’re swinging at with the 95g shafts (estimated based on common weight, but you can weigh your parts on your own obviously).”
  • Stuart_G: “Your process is good – keep at it and trust it.”
