Hello Tom. I agree with your statement, to the extent that I don't believe that having
clubs of the same length is going to transform a bad golfer into a good golfer. You still need a consistent swing that works. I do think, however, that having
clubs of the same length might make it possible for some golfers to arrive at that swing sooner. To my mind, it's "game improvement" option, the same as cavity-back
irons and hybrids. Not everybody needs these options, of course. But they might help some golfers to play the best golf they are capable of, which might still not be that good. I don't think everyone is capable of playing good golf, but most are capable of playing better golf.
And given that a typical 9 iron is 2 inches shorter than a 5 iron, I don't think it's a bad idea to ask why this should be so. What does anyone gain by it?
As for needing to get "better" equipment, I guess it's all about finding
clubs that feel good to swing. My 3 hybrid is a $20 club from Walmart. It's great. I like the way it swings and the way it feels at impact. I'm going to buy another one to keep in case this one gets damaged, since you never know how long Walmart will carry them. I also have a driver that I got from Target, I think, and it didn't cost much more. I don't hit the ball that well with it, but it's not the driver's fault. If I get to the point where I think my
clubs are holding me back, I'll get new ones. But at the moment, it's not my
clubs that are holding me back.
