I met an old golfing buddy of my father and I at the range this evening and he was inspecting my X2Hot driver, and focused on the adjustment cogs. I gave him the opportunity hit a few shots and afterwards we discussed how the technology in the design of clubs and shafts.
In conclusion he was of the opinion that adjustability is a method of cheating rather than working on getting the swing technique right.
My counter argument was that as a hacker/amateur golfer, Golf is an enormously difficult game, so why not make it that bit more easier, if possible, within the rules of the game, and enjoy the game rather than overcomplicating and overanalysing each shot and taking the fun out of it.
In saying that, I have no problem putting in the time and practice to improve my golf, put at this time of my life, when I‘ve just finished building a new house and getting married in September (The weekend of the Ryder Cup …D’oh…talk about bad planning!), it is not always possible to do so. (Next spring it’s going to be full head on to make up for lost time).
Anyway we shook hands and wished each other and families best wishes and went on our way.
Maybe this topic has been discussed before, but I’m curious on what’s your thinking?
