This is a great question and it’s in my list of notes to share with the devs (including the 1-iron). 👍🏻 According to HB_CraigC I just asked him about the clubs in Seamounts stream and I quote He said 1,2 iron 2w 6w 7w 2h 6h 7h are NO LONGER supported. That’s pretty poor, imo. Shame.

How many people you know have a real life 2 wood or 6 wood in the bag? Yes it creates the bigger gap, but now we have to think a bit more strategically. Maybe we have to lay up, pitch on and try to make a Birdie now. I'm all for it. I do think the clubs need a 5-10 yard boost in distance though. I had a 3 wood that went 227. Not really pro distances.

I hit my 3 iron that distance on good shots 220-225. And I am not the longest hitter.

I think most amateur golfers can hit their 3 wood further than that. I hit my 3 wood about 235 to 245 yards irl.

I think you can tick number 2 off. Not gimmies as such, but you will be able to concede a hole in matchplay. With "gimmies" I was thinking of conceding the putt, which is different from conceding the hole...

The only clubs in there that would make remote sense to include is the 1I, 2I and 2h - but the 1I should be a driving iron. It’s really only the 2I that is a bit strange they cut, but since the club attributes when it comes to hitting from rough are still messed up it does not really matter. 3I very possible from a rough lie where only the top of the ball is visible, still one of the games largest weaknesses.

I played on Legend today with meters off, and I tried that exploit, err, technique and I couldn’t get it to work. But even if I could, I wouldn’t play that way. What causes some people to always look for the “gotcha” moment in everything? Why can’t we just play the stinkin game without immediately searching for these asinine tricks? It’s simply a mentality that I don’t understand. Anyway, if anybody popped by my stream, I want to thank you and I hope you had a good time. Let me know if you had any questions that didn’t get answered today. Eric I had a question I asked on the stream but it got missed. Can I just copy my lidar course from the 2019 directory into the 2K21 directory or do I have to go down the publish in 2019 and port it over route. I joined your stream late and didn’t see how you got those user courses into the game. Great stream by the way 👏👏

Hybrids and fairway woods comes in different loft, and numbers are not used. I think we will see irons do the same at some point, removing the numbers and using loft. Wedges all comes in loft.

I actually have a strong 3w that I swap out for my driver on a few tight tracks where I live and I have a 2h that never leaves the bag... and some of the old fellas I regularly have to hand money over to have all sorts of woods.... but that's besides the point as we're not trying to replicate your own bag, really... My under-fleshed out post was really aimed at 1i, 2i, 2w, 2h, which are viable bag options that I would change about to suit certain tracks in 2019 - I couldn't give less of a hoot about the high loft woods and hybrids to be honest and always thought they were an odd thing to have in the game. I get what you say about having to play differently, and approach holes in an alternative way potentially, but I think that narrowing the options too much at the top end of the bag, without having more wedge loft / grind options at the bottom end will take a bit away for me... I liked trying to work out the best bag for the week, but that's pretty much gone now. Not the end of the world, but for me, a shame all the same.

In my matchplay team tournament last Saturday my opponant had a 16 degree 1 hybrid, not seen one of them before. I beat him (no shots given for handicap) 2 and 1 and he was a 5 lower handicap than me 😁

Let me know if you had any questions that didn’t get answered today. I understand where you are coming from, but I don't believe that players who are looking for ' gotcha ' moments are in any way trying to do the game a disservice, just the opposite, they are trying to find the potential cheats before the cheaters do, and get them fixed. Also bear in mind the history of exploits in previous games. The game looks great, the amount of tweaks to difficulty, the swing calibration, the improvements made throughout the game, it really could be fulfilling the promise this franchise never quite has.

From I've seen for now, it seems to me that the designer has been somehow taken as secondary in this evolution. The general planting ability is surely a great thing, but that was easy to do I think.
I would have expect fencing help, water tilting to help making streams without water falls each 10 ft, and path flattening (I've bee horrified by the hideous uneven path before the East Lake clubhouse in the transition screen...)

Think folk pointing out exploits ain't the issue.
They possibly the good guys :-)
It's the quiet ones you gotta worry about

Honestly, if people want to pause swing 96%, go ahead. It should be met with a penalty similar to overswinging, but I dont think it should be completely disallowed.
It has no effect on tempo or accuracy, its just a simpler way of achieving a certain distance the same way it is to achieve 100%. Its different from the short swing bug that gave a HUGE accuracy advantage.
