  3. I am actually a tennis player trying to play golf. I just can't quite understand why I'm not suppose to put topspin on the golf ball????? Also, is grunting allowed on the golf course?

  5. Another myth is you should be playing new or nearly new clubs. I did upgrade from 22 year old Orlimar irons to 10 year old Hogan irons. Playing better than ever and beating my buddies who buy new or nearly new….down below a 10 hcp for the first time in 25 years.

  10. Golf Companies have been claiming 10 more yards every year with their new driver for the last 10 years… I should be up to 350 yards off the tee by now! I hit my old Callaway Steelhead Plus (year 2000) fairway woods within 10 yards of the new ones. Its more like 1 or 2 yards per year .

  11. Although it usually true, longer clubs do not always reduce accuracy or consistency. If longer clubs fit the player better they will increase both. That often applies to taller players who don't have long arms, and/or swing flatter, and/or have a high waist which raises the position of the hands. I have all 3 so I use clubs that look like they should be used by a huge, muscular player. I am 6 feet tall and weigh about 170 lbs. By the way, 2 inches of extra length play a whole flex softer. I use X flex, but they play like S flex. They are all graphite or the clubs would be way too heavy at those extra lengths.

  14. That last one isn't true. Pros have stronger lofts and stiffer shafts because they can physically generate more speed with better contact which gets the ball in the air where ams cannot. Bottom line, get the clubs YOU like and have fun.

  15. I am a high handicap golfer always used cb or mb irons however for this coming season I've bought blades I figure if I cant get better might as well play bad in style

  16. Another big myth is that you cannot find a competent video editor… you know, someone who knows how to mix consistent volume levels throughout the entire video.

  20. I was always told as a high handicapper I should use a higher lofted, higher spin driver. After struggling with several drivers over the years, I got fitted for the first time and ended up with a 9 degree lofted sub zero driver. Total opposite to what I thought I needed. My driver game is pretty consistent now, I hit most fairways and I added 60 yards to my drives.

  21. Nonsense about putters. Manufacturers would love us to pay fortunes for their latest branding iron,
    but the best putters over the years have ALL used heel-shafted blade putters—-Bobby Locke,
    Ben Crenshaw, Jack Nicklaus for most of his career, Lee Trevino, Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Bobby Jones, Billy Casper, Walter Hagen and so many others.

  25. I have a tour edge exs 9° lowered to 8° with a tensi blue 70 stiff shaft. My back spin is 3,000 to 4,500 rpm?? Club head speed 110 to 115mph. Help! My carry is 260 to 270yrds

  26. Would you PLEASE either turn the music down or talk a little louder so we don't have to turn the volume up & down for every number every time you list a new myth. I don't complain ever but this is over the top.

  27. Great list and enjoyed watching this… i think you covered all the myths. So true about handicap and stereotypical clubs. I’m a 2.4 yet my iron game is inconsistent.. my driver and short game especially putting are my key areas. Last season 2019 ( I didn’t play at all in 2020 due to Shoulder surgery in Dec 2019 and COVID-19 in April/May) my ARCCOS putting stats showed an average of one 3 putt every 36 holes. Best putting ever. Wedge game (chipping and pitching) are always excellent. So my irons next year will most likely be Ping i210’s . Need forgiveness in a players iron
