EA Sports PGA Tour 2023 allows you to heavily customize your golfing gear with its golf bag and specs systems.
In this guide, we’ll tell you how to make the most of these systems so that you have the best equipment possible!
How to Optimize Your Golf Bag and Club Specs in EA Sports PGA Tour 2023
Before we start, we want to clear a common misunderstanding that new players make in this game: the clubs in the store are purely cosmetic and don’t boost your stats.
You can still get them if you want, but don’t buy them thinking that they will improve your stats.
Instead, you will want to buy Specs. You can buy them from the Specs tab of the in-game store, so you should save your money for them!
Specs come in multiple varieties. These are the following, from best to worst: Pro, Legendary, Epic, Rare, Uncommon, and Common.
The Pro rarity is basically a variation of the Legendary rarity; both are gold-colored but Pro Specs are named after professional golfers and provide better stats.
As you might imagine, the rarer specs are much better but also much more expensive!
Every Spec is also primarily aimed toward one stat, but that doesn’t mean that’s the only stat they boost. For example, this Legendary Accuracy spec also greatly improves Power, Control, and Recovery.
Luckily, you can see the stats before you purchase! You don’t have to buy Specs blindly while hoping for the best.
Additionally, you can get Club Specs by completing various Quests in Career Mode. If money’s tight, go complete some quests and you’ll hopefully get some good specs without dealing with the store!
After you’ve got some good Specs, you need to customize your Golf Bag to apply them.
How to Customize Your Golf Bag and Use Specs
Your golf bags can be edited from the Equipment tab in the Golfer category of the main menu.
You can have up to 5 different golf bag presets at once. This allows you to quickly switch between different setups in the Play menu.
Choose which golf bag you want to customize so you can see every modifiable piece of equipment: the bag itself, all the golf clubs, and the golf ball.
You can select any of them to modify them, which allows you to apply any cosmetics you own, but is also how you apply Specs to your clubs and ball.
Specs can be found on the rightmost tab when applying equipment modifications. You can navigate to it by pressing the bumper buttons on your controller or using your mouse on PC.
Specs that are already applied will have a green check mark on their icon. Hovering over any other spec will show you the stat difference, which is key to comparing them!
Once you pick the spec you want to apply, you will get to select the loft for your clubs. This will greatly change how they behave, but the selection depends on your personal preference.
Venezuelan gamer cursed by being interested by most games, resulting in a ridiculous backlog he’ll never be able to conquer. Been gaming for over two decades now! Few things exemplify his wide variety in gaming tastes as the fact that he’s a big fan of both Souls games and the Atelier series at the same time. Also a big fan of Yakuza/Like a Dragon, Deadly Premonition, Zero Escape, and Dead Rising, among others. Considers Lost Judgment and Sekiro to both be masterpieces.
