Why Can We Only Use 14 Golf Clubs (And How To Get The Right Ones!)
Hannah Holden explains the historical origins of the 14-club rule and provides a comprehensive guide to optimizing a modern golf bag. She details the importance of wedge gapping, professional putter fittings, and selecting the right golf ball based on performance rather than tour trends. The video also covers how to adjust driver loft to combat common misses like slices.
Wedge gapping should be based on actual carry distances and flight windows rather than just the loft stamped on the club.
A professional putter fitting is crucial because the putter is used on every hole, yet it is the most overlooked club for custom fitting.
Premium 'tour' balls are not just for high-speed players; most golfers can benefit from the spin and control of a urethane cover.
If you struggle with a slice, increasing your driver loft can help reduce side-spin and straighten out your ball flight.
You don't have to carry 14 clubs; removing redundant clubs reduces decision fatigue and can help you develop more creative shot-making skills.
