Extreme Adjustability
I must be about the only golfer that is not over-the-moon about adjustability. Frankly I suspect the majority of golfers would be most likely to tinker with adjusting their putters, yet the putter seems to be the one club that manufacturers are leaving alone. Sure, adjustability is cool but it seems like it is always accompanied by a sacrifice, whether it be sound, feel, or weight distribution. So, what is the next step in adjustability? Perhaps modularity.
