Senior Golf: A Balance Between Club Selection, Setup, and Equipment Reality
The category Equipment & Clubs is the category with the biggest direct score leverage for senior golfers. The wrong driver loft, the wrong wedge gap, or the wrong shaft weight costs measurable strokes per round. Each contribution is based on launch monitor data, USGA distance insights, and direct experience with the equipment—not on manufacturer marketing.
The posts follow chronologically – the newest one at the top. Everyone who reads all the posts in order will get a complete overview of the equipment topics relevant to players 60+.
