How often to pros replace golf clubs?

Answer 1

Other than the grips which should be replaced every couple years, the clubs should last a few hundred years with good care. Most of the new alloy/composite clubs will never rust so they should last a few thousand years. In practical terms, I play with a 20 year old set of Ping Zing clubs and they work as well today as when new. I also have clubs that are twice that old and still do the job. Edit: This answer would only be correct if one assumed the clubs were rarely played. Regular play will wear the club face over time, creating cupping of the irons in particular and reduced depth in the grooves, affecting spin. The best indicator of wear is to measure the depth of the grooves across the club and to measure the plane of the face of the club to detect cupping. As a reference - Tiger Woods replaces his wedges approximately 4 times per year and goes through 2 sets of irons in a single season (of course, he plays more, makes a living that way - and doesn't pay a cent to replace them).

Answer 2

The driver is the longest club, standard length around 46 inches. The putter would be the shortest club, standard length 33- 35 inches. All clubs descend in length from driver to putter, usually in inch to .25 inch increments.

Answer 3

They would generally try and keep a set of irons for a season, and woods for a season, but they would change wedges every couple of weeks. They could in theory change clubs every day but they like to have some consistency. They usually change woods and hybrids if there is a new model out or they are struggling with their current ones.

Answer 4

Yes they do like my driver is 3 years old and my pro told me in a year or two I will need a new driver no matter what, this is when I realized that is why I need new clubs every three years or so. Therefore, clubs do age.
