Subject: Hybrids & loft
|
I have at present a 9 deg driver, 15 & 19 Deg woods and then start at a
27 deg 5 iron
I was just wondering, seeing that I am only using 12 clubs, what lofts
should I be using as a hybrid?
a 19 deg 3 & a 22 deg 4 or a 22 deg 4 and a 25 deg 5?
It seems pointless having 2 clubs with the same loft (my 5 wood and a 3
Iron hybrid)
but would I be hitting the 5 hybrid far enough to be longer than my 5
iron??
Cheers

I have 15 and 19 degree fairway woods and my longest iron is a 28 degree 5i.
I use two hybrids to fill that gap with lofts of 22 and 25 degrees and have
steel shafts like my irons. This works well for me.

Borrow or rent clubs and try them out before making assumptions with
your money. Note the flight path and roll of the balls - you may
decide that you should have more than 14 clubs, swapping a couple out
depending upon conditions.
Tiger swaps his 5W out. Lots of pros swap out more clubs than he
does. Admittedly, they play more varieties of courses than we do -
but even in the same course, wind makes a difference in which club is
optimal.

I think so. I have 18, 22 and 26 degree KZG hybrids. The 26 is very close
to my 5i in loft but it plays about a club longer.
I'd get the 22 and 26. I really only use the 18 off the tee. I hit my 4i
pretty well and didn't think I'd have much use for the 26, but I can dig
it out of absolutely any lie. It's amazing. Next to getting a good fitted
modern driver, this club has made the most difference to my game.

To what do you attribute the change in the ocean's pH?

The existance of Man is a natural progression of the evolution of life on
this planet; so whatever it (Man) does is natural.

However we are the first species that is able to see the implications of
our actions, and therefore have the capacity to change our behavior. If it
turns out that we will continue to just consume all available resources
like any other organism--and this may well be the case--then we're
screwed.

I think it is a natural cycle also, but exacerbated by man's prolific
emissions. And while we can't change the naturally occuring problems,
we can and should do something about the human induced stuff.
While I'm not sure I agree with the gloom and doomers, I am sure I don't
agree with the no problem group.

Replace "man" with "Democrats and Republicans" and the sentence is worthy
of a Usenet Signature(SIG).

I tend to agree with this. If reducing CO2 emissions will reduce the
problem, then it's worth doing. Unfortunately, reduction of CO2 wont
happen.
