Split Personality
Back in the day, golfers carried a mixed bag of niblicks and mashies, each tasked to propel shots a certain way. Iron sets later became uniform, but now we’re seeing a trend where more than 70 percent of PGA Tour players use a “split set” of irons with multiple head designs. Even many average-golfer sets – without the tour- level Tweaking – feature different heads to optimise launch and spin. Moral: They had it right way back when. Every club in your bag has a specific job. Worry less about how it looks and more about what it does.
