I just purchased two new clubs from Cobra, the F9 Single Length Hybrids.   One club is 24 degrees and I love it!  I hit it pure and it has great loft and is always straight as an arrow.   The other club is a 21 degree and I can't hit it worth a darn!   Same club length (single length = 7 iron), same setup (ball is in the middle to back of stance) and same tempo, yet the ball gets no loft.  It never gets any air!   What am I doing?   Is it "the indian or the arrow?"   Any suggestions would be welcomed!

Same shaft, same swingweight…? Besides the loft, what's different about them?

I'm guessing here. But perhaps you have enough swing speed to launch a ball with 24 degrees of loft, but not quite enough swing speed to launch a ball with only 21 degrees of loft?

The one length clubs are cool in a lot of ways but, again I'm guessing here, the shorter shafts can't help your swing speed any. 

I believe that's why "traditional" clubs get longer in length for lower lofts. To get the head speed of the club up high enough to launch the ball. 

Again, I'm just guessing here. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Yep.  Identical swing weight.

Great point!   I'll bet that's it!  Much appreciated!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, I might have to get out of the C-Taper golf shaft. I have an older Mizuno with a KBS Tour shaft in. I was messing around with closing my eyes and feeling where the weight of the club is being felt at. The C-Taper was all in my fingers. I didn't feel much of anything of the club head or shaft of the club. It felt super heavy in my hands. The KBS Tour I could feel a weight further away from my hands, out in space.  The Mizuno weights 2 grams more, but is about 2-3 swing weights lighter than my current irons.  So, yea. I am thinking I might sense the club better with maybe a less stout golf shaft and maybe a lighter swing weight. Probably more to do with the golf shaft. I am thinking the feeling of the weight out in space is more of the shaft loading more easily.

      Day 25 (2 Apr 26) - Worked on green side chips at the course before helping with the school golf tournament today.  Worked on low flighted spinners to get solid hop and stops.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit back at it tonight. I just wanted to add in the feel of a softer left arm through out the backswing. This helps me hinge the club. I make sure I am not bending it a ton, but not straightening it. It helps feel like I can keep the club in front of me more and lift the club up sooner.
