Thanks for posting. I am a minimalist walking golfer and play just 7 clubs regularly. Went to your concept some time ago and shooting low 80's from Sr. Tees.
My favourite club is a 6 hybrid, probably because I am not that good with irons. I can use it between 100 and 160 yards and hit it relatively straight. It's not bad for tough lies around the green either. Long hole and you're on in 3. Works for me.
My 6 hybrid is a life saver (28 degree)... I can mash it 200 yards swinging out of my shoes, its great hitting out of thick or wet turf, you can chip with it too... So useful!
@@USGOLFTVshow Test out my theory. Tow 9 holes game of a high handicaper. First with a full set of clubs, the other with only a driver, 8 iron, sand wedge and a putter. I bet the scores a identical.
I love my 3 wood off the tee, again a 3 from a far, or pull out the 7 iron, sand wedge, putter. I honestly don't need to carry anything else. I play better carrying 4 to 7 clubs then i do carrying 14.
No Hybrid? 🤔 Personally, I'm quite rubbish with the Driver and Fairway Clubs, but fairly good with the irons... so I rather tend to use Hybrids on the fairway. Would you think these should be practiced seperatly? I mean, they are quite different to Fairway ("Woods" - don't really like the designation "wood", as they haven't been made of wood for quite some decades) Clubs - hence me playing better with them...
@@USGOLFTVshow Thanks for the reply, I do have a pitching wedge, I'm not sure what degree it is, it's a bit of an older set. I have irons from 3 to 9, drivers 1, 3 and 5, and putter.
I like the premise but I disagree. I think people should master a club they can hit as close to 200 yards (for most tricky par 3’s), a 120-150 yard shot for approach, a wedge as you described and the putter, I think you should focus on yardage not the number on the club head - my 2 cents
Not disagreeing with any of this, what i will add is that if you're more than an 18 handicap you dont need to reach the green in regulation. Make your tee club one that you can keep in play as much as absolutely possible. Get your 3rd shot on the green close enough to 2 putt and shooting 90 is relatively easy.
Single length irons and hybrid ; reduced practice time because the swing is the same as a 7 iron. Milford, Cobra , Sterling in order of cheap to more expensive .
@@USGOLFTVshow two years now. I started with a second hand set of Cobra F7 irons 5-GW, then I was fitted for Cobra F9. I bought a few Milforf golf SL-7 irons for a travel 1/2 set. The Milfords are great value and perform well.
@@USGOLFTVshow Very helpful, but not in the way I originally thought they would. Single length did not fix my swing. The clubs helped me be consistent and let me correct my swing. I quickly figured out my issues without guessing about length and lie and set up differences. I set up and feel the same from 4 iron to PW.
Thanks for making this game easier for us seniors ...
I'd throw in a hybrid as well to master, they'll get you outta some tricky long yardage situations.
My go to "mini set" is usually a #4 hybrid (for 150+ yards), 8 iron (for 120 to 150 yard shots), Pitching wedge (for 90 to 120 yard shots), & putter

You got it...we like the 7 clubs....a great way to learn to play the game. Have you seen our Vertical Line Swing System?
I played with 5w, 8 iron, 56 wedge and putter... I played some of my best golf and was fun playing with different distances with sand club..
Kevin Cranfield great way to learn the game and develop new shots...awesome! Thanks for posting! 👊

Bob Ball yep, the hybrid has saved many many players games...we agree

Great video those are the exact clubs I was thinking about. Great content
Dwayne Meyers awesome! We think a like...appreciate you watching and posting...what would you like to see us cover in 2020?
Fantastic coaching and soooo true, if only beginners would focus on just a few clubs.
Thanks Rob. what other topics would you like to see us cover?

Our pleasure! Hope you subscribed, what other topics would you like to see us cover?
Great advice - thank you .
michael king you bet! Thanks for watching
My favourite club is my 6 hybrid !
Hybrids are great clubs that most all golfers should have in their bag.
Great video for someone like me that doesn't play often.
You got this. As a new golfer, you would find our book The Bad Lie helpful. See here www.badliegolfbook.com/
That titleist 7 iron is beautiful!
H Marks Titleist makes a great club! What irons do you play?
Omg played driver , 6i, pw, putter.
Dropped a stroke per hole.
Shot my best score ever. 93
Yep! 👊

You are spot on. Thanks for adding to the conversation. 👊

Good and fair points, the hybrid is a very important club for many many golfers
Good Vid
Thanks Kenyon, what info did you find most helpful to you?
I don't have a sand wedge, what would you recommend?
Do you have pitching wedge? If so, that would be your next option.
@@USGOLFTVshow Thanks for the reply, I do have a pitching wedge, I'm not sure what degree it is, it's a bit of an older set. I have irons from 3 to 9, drivers 1, 3 and 5, and putter.
I just recently found out my favorite is the PW. That's my most consistent club.

Solid points you make...we like our students to be thinking yardage not number on the club....thanks for posting and adding to the conversation.
Great Video Todd.
I think if I get good enough with my chipping and pitching, I won't even need to carry a putter!
(Yeah, I hear you laughing!)
Mike Reling 😂 all time great post right there my fiend 👊
I used to practice with 7 iron on driving range, but I rarely get to use it on the course
I hit 7 irons when working on my swing for hours as a kid...
Excellent
Thank you. Doing our best to help our fellow golfers.
Driver , putter, 7 iron and foot wedge.
Pretty potent combo right there Dave!

Here is a good video on how to break 80 if you are looking to save a few strokes th-cam.com/video/V3D52xhmmW4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5AH3gztQRLJPicbS
Master your driver, 7 iron, 56 wedge, putter. If you can do that you will be as well rounded as possible.
Truth you list here!
Single length irons and hybrid ; reduced practice time because the swing is the same as a 7 iron. Milford, Cobra , Sterling in order of cheap to more expensive .
Kym Stock how long have you been playing single length clubs?
@@USGOLFTVshow two years now. I started with a second hand set of Cobra F7 irons 5-GW, then I was fitted for Cobra F9. I bought a few Milforf golf SL-7 irons for a travel 1/2 set. The Milfords are great value and perform well.
I man i really crave a sandwich right now😂
4-p single length. So You get 7 clubs that feel the same.
Chris Juhl interesting concept...we are seeing more of that...do you find it helpful?

What two clowns down voted this video? 🤦♂️🤷♂️
Michael Detwiler 😂 I guess you can’t make everyone happy. Thanks for watching and posting, much appreciated
@@USGOLFTVshow it was fantastic advice. 4 clubs. I am solid with 3 of the 4. Need to work on my wedge play more. Appreciate your video.
Golf club salesmen?
So basically all the clubs lol
Lol how profound... this should be called "Just practice with and maybe use less clubs if you can"... 😂
watching you in 2023 lol ur awesome
thanks for watching and all the great comments!
