Top 5 Golf Equipment Myths

🚨 Stop Falling For These if You Want to See REAL Improvements 🚨

Are you spending more on golf equipment than you need to, and still not seeing results?!

Here are 5 equipment myths that most golfers still believe…but absolutely shouldn't 👇

1. “New Clubs will Fix My Swing”

They won’t 🚫

A better swing fixes your swing! ✅

New gear might feel great for a few weeks, but it’s not a long-term solution.

Having said that, new clubs can inspire you to practice more, which will help, so they can be useful in this regard.

KEY TAKEAWAY: Nothing will top solid, long-term technique improvements. 

2. “Launch Monitors are Just for Pros”

Wrong! ❌

You can now get launch monitors for under £250 that help you dial in your wedges, measure distances, and improve your game, even if you’re just hitting balls in a net.

KEY TAKEAWAY: Data isn't optional anymore, it’s the best route to consistency. Check out the video for ideas on how to incorporate data into your practice.

3. “Shaft flex = Swing Speed”

Oversimplified (and great for marketing) 🫣

Shafts affect feel more than flight for most players, and it’s HIGHLY individual. Don’t let your ego move you into using the wrong shaft for you.

KEY TAKEAWAY: Don't get caught chasing flex labels; it’s more complex than that, and performance gains are often marginal.

4. “Hybrids are for High Handicappers”

Nonsense! 🫣

Hybrids are versatile tools for ANY player. Great from fairways, rough, under trees; in short, they make golf easier.

KEY TAKEAWAY: Choosing clubs based on ego, not function, will only hurt your scores.

5. “More Expensive = Better”

Sometimes true… but often not. Let me explain…

Top-tier balls, wedges, and custom-fit gear can improve performance, but only if you can take advantage of the benefits.

KEY TAKEAWAY: You can shoot lower scores with budget gear if it fits your game. Put some thought into which clubs go into your bag. You don’t have to bend to convention!
