He has, in the back of his mind, the rough impression that the pros play 9.5, and that the lower-lofted head is the longer-hitting head, and that the equipment salesman is unlikely to talk him into a higher-lofted club because the higher-lofted clubs do not, in the carpark of the average club, look like the clubs of a player who hits it past his friends. The decision he is about to make is the single most consequential equipment decision in the bag, and is in nearly every case at least two degrees wrong.</p>
