Just because many of the world’s best golfers have equipment deals, it doesn’t mean they all play the very latest clubs. Yes, they’re encouraged to do so, but it’s not always straightforward convincing a tour player to make a change.
If you were to walk along the driving range at a tournament, you’d see plenty of ‘old favourites’ or retro clubs in the bag and clubs that are several generations old. Club golfers are just the same.
