    Surely the adjustable hinge/slot is going to wear out quicker than expected.

    Also the site is looking for passive investors/backers, perhaps be transparent about this in your original post.
    Why, it's not my gig, I just thought some other golfers whom hadn't seen it may like a look.

    It's already non-conforming, no need to ban it twice.

    Not for me personally. I carry stuff in my bag other than clubs that I simply wouldn't be able to without it, whether I'm playing social/practice rounds or proper competition rounds.

    I see you've been on Kickstarter before, Dotty.

    Foundation Ozgolfers have been banned for less.

    Have vague memories of playing with something similar back in the 1980s - a friend brought one back from either the US or UK. Awful awful club - think it was something like the below:

    I believe I may be similar in some ozgolf circles although the sobriquet is far more offensive.

    Isn't this very concept has been done at least 2 iterations already? Apart from the fact that this time is being done in a hybrid form rather than a SGI cavity style?

    Rick Shiels did a video on it a few year ago.

    And if you game:
    https://divnickgolf.com/adjustable/

    And it cost waaaay less.....

    It even has it's own "carry bag"!! Or... well.... belt bag.

    Rick Shields wasn't a fan of the Divnick, adjustment was fiddly and ambiguous as to what setting you were on.

    You are right. This was for sale in the 80's, and i think its dated a decade or 3 older than that which suggests they sold a few. Its major shortcoming with this would be the bounce being messed up. Seems Urquhart has over come this issue with their innovative sole design so its possibly quite usable. Not for ozgolf club hoes we know, but most of the golfing world doesnt play golf like we do.

    Criticism doesn't bother me, as it means I am doing something and people are watching.

    If there’s a market for it, it might be the once or twice a year golfers but they’d need to be convinced they don’t need 14 clubs (we know how difficult that is. People who should know better still “need” 14 in the bag) and it’d need to cost about $100, not 4 times that.

    For $100 I’d buy and use one.

    Relax man. You don’t play social golf so you’d never see it.

    This is little more than an attempt to sneak in another article about that silly club.
