How Often Do Professional Golfers Change Golf Clubs?
Professional golfers change clubs for a variety of reasons. Some try new clubs to improve their overall game, or to make a temporary change based on the course they’re playing. Others use a certain manufacturer’s clubs because they’re paid to endorse the equipment. Still others change with the times, replacing long irons with hybrids, for example. But there is no fixed pattern or time frame within which PGA Tour pros typically change clubs. The decision on which clubs to use is a personal choice for each pro.
The Effects of Groove Change on Golf
In 2010, the United States Golf Association banned so-called square grooves -- which are actually U-shaped -- cut into the faces of clubs with lofts greater than or equal to 25 degrees. The USGA’s reasoning was that the increased spin produced by the square grooves greatly reduced the difficulty of certain shots, particularly shots from the rough. As of the date of publication, PGA Tour players seemed to have compensated sufficiently, making the rules change more of a tweak rather than a revolutionary event.
