Have you ever heard Severiano or Nicklaus speaking about that crazy idea??The answer is No, because Golf can't accept those sort of changes. Can you imaging Seve playing a lobwedge with a shaft of a 7 iron???Please, forget that idea. Thanks |
Well... I was just wondering. There's a lot of rhetoric in your reply, but I take it you think that having all the same shafts would make the game too easy? I don't believe that for a minute. You say it's "fine" to make clubs that allow us to hit farther, but not fine to make clubs that make it easier to strike the ball consistently? If that's so, then I guess clubs with cavity backs and peripheral weighting, and all other sorts of "game improvement" clubs should never have been developed either. All of these clubs are meant to make it easier to strike the golf ball.
When I posed the question, I had no idea 1irongolf.com even existed. It was purely speculative, because I couldn't see any good reason why the shafts of different clubs should be different lengths. And as far as that goes, the pros *do* customize shaft lengths according to their own whims.
Those 1irongolf clubs are pretty expensive, but I bet one could get a custom made set of "uni-shaft" clubs made for a very reasonable cost.
