I understand that no serious golfer would use a universal adjustable club, but I don't really understand why. There's the link below of a 33 in 1 club that changes the lofts, but could someone explain why a club like this is garbage
Shitty materials? Weight of head isn't adjustable?

Length of the shaft plays a factor in distance and control. This club doesn't have that option

Oh alright, do different length shafts tend to have different stiffness's as well?

No length doesn't determine stiffness, shafts do come in different flexes though

Oh and the main reason you wouldn't want one of those clubs is because it's against the rules of the usga and r&a. Any clubs playing chararacteristics cannot be altered during the round

Shortened shafts however do get slightly stiffer

This is true if you take a shaft and shorten it, but a manufactured shaft can be any flex
