I have a 21 deg Titleist 585H with Hybrid NV-R shaft. I want to get another 585H but deciding between the 19 deg. or 17 deg.

Most likely I'll use the 19 deg. or 17 deg. to tee of with on narrow holes. With that being said should I just get the 17 deg. then or 19 deg.?

How much of a yardage difference can I expect?

Posted
The distance gap will be dependant upon how far you actually hit the ball. The further you hit it, the bigger the gap will be. On average I think you'd be looking at about a 10 to 15 yard gap between the 21* and the 19*.

Something else you should be thinking about is which club you will be replacing from your current setup, that will likely influence your decision.

Posted
If your sig is right, you have no clubs between your driver and 21*, so I'd definitely recommend the 17* to give you better yardage gaps.

Well by next weekend I HOPE I'll be able to tell ya the yard difference between me hitting a 26* and 22* Nike CPR hybrids. The 22 should come in by Wednesday and then it's all a matter of getting away from work and the rain (eight days in a row now).

In my bag:
Driver: 907D1 10.5*, Aldila Spec-Grid S67 reg
Woods: Looking for a wood. Titleist 906F4 or Nike CPR.

How about 906F4 18.5 deg?

I thought about the 906F4 but I think I'll be more consistent with the hybrid 585h.

I'd go for the 17*, you can always choke down the shaft to get the distance of a 19*. On a side note maverick I notice you play a 56, 58 and 60 wedge, just wondering why?

put a fairway wood in... you have no fairway wood, I'll sell you my launcher 19 degree... between th 17 and 19 degree I would like notice almost no difference... 5-8 yards if that... its more about trajectory. and yank one of those wedges... you basically are gonna hit a 58 degree about 10 yards less than your (56) wedge, and maybe 5 more than your 60 degree take it from a +4, who's becoming a pro soon... If you really have indecision get both... IMHO... I would get the 19 but that's just me... what do I know I still carry a 2-iron.

Well, you might know this already but fairway woods yield more distance compared to hybrid within the same loft.

I agree with onthehunt526. Having only 2 degrees difference between 17 and 19 hybrids do not give you significant options in long distances. In other words, it's like carrying extra club that has approximately the same distance. What I see from your sig is that you have a huge gap between your driver 10.5 and your hybrid 21 deg. Definitely put something in there, like 15 deg and 18 deg wood? If you want you could replace the 18 wood with 17 or 19 deg hybrid. Your 21 deg hybrid is okay, then the 4-AW irons set. Keep your 56 and 60 wedges, but not the 58. The setup will look like this. - Driver: 10.5 deg - Wood: 15 deg - Hybrids: 17 & 21 deg - Irons: 4-PW - Wedges: 52, 56 & 60 deg - Putter Total: 14 clubs. I know that everyone's different setup. At least this will give you the big picture. Hope this helps.

I need to *update* my sig..I decided to sell the 58 deg..my wedges right now are:

- Driver: 10.5 deg

That's actually 15 clubs, but if you were gonna use that setup i'd pull out the 17* hybrid

Oh yeah, my bad. I was going to list some alternatives and in the midst of doing it I decided not to, so that left me with an extra club I forgot to de-list. Thanks for pointing that out.

    • Nah, man. People have been testing clubs like this for decades at this point. Even 35 years. @M2R, are you AskGolfNut? If you're not, you seem to have fully bought into the cult or something. So many links to so many videos… Here's an issue, too: - A drop of 0.06 is a drop with a 90 MPH 7I having a ball speed of 117 and dropping it to 111.6, which is going to be nearly 15 yards, which is far more than what a "3% distance loss" indicates (and is even more than a 4.6% distance loss). - You're okay using a percentage with small numbers and saying "they're close" and "1.3 to 1.24 is only 4.6%," but then you excuse the massive 53% difference that going from 3% to 4.6% represents. That's a hell of an error! - That guy in the Elite video is swinging his 7I at 70 MPH. C'mon. My 5' tall daughter swings hers faster than that.
    • Yea but that is sort of my quandary, I sometimes see posts where people causally say this club is more forgiving, a little more forgiving, less forgiving, ad nauseum. But what the heck are they really quantifying? The proclamation of something as fact is not authoritative, even less so as I don't know what the basis for that statement is. For my entire golfing experience, I thought of forgiveness as how much distance front to back is lost hitting the face in non-optimal locations. Anything right or left is on me and delivery issues. But I also have to clarify that my experience is only with irons, I never got to the point of having any confidence or consistency with anything longer. I feel that is rather the point, as much as possible, to quantify the losses by trying to eliminate all the variables except the one you want to investigate. Or, I feel like we agree. Compared to the variables introduced by a golfer's delivery and the variables introduced by lie conditions, the losses from missing the optimal strike location might be so small as to almost be noise over a larger area than a pea.  In which case it seems that your objection is that the 0-3% area is being depicted as too large. Which I will address below. For statements that is absurd and true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. You will need to provide some objective data to back that up and also define what true 100% sweet spot is. If you mean the area where there are 0 losses, then yes. While true, I do not feel like a not practical or useful definition for what I would like to know. For strikes on irons away from the optimal location "in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?"   In my opinion it ok to be dubious but I feel like we need people attempting this sort of data driven investigation. Even if they are wrong in some things at least they are moving the discussion forward. And he has been changing the maps and the way data is interpreted along the way. So, he admits to some of the ideas he started with as being wrong. It is not like we all have not been in that situation 😄 And in any case to proceed forward I feel will require supporting or refuting data. To which as I stated above, I do not have any experience in drivers so I cannot comment on that. But I would like to comment on irons as far as these heat maps. In a video by Elite Performance Golf Studios - The TRUTH About Forgiveness! Game Improvement vs Blade vs Players Distance SLOW SWING SPEED! and going back to ~12:50 will show the reference data for the Pro 241. I can use that to check AskGolfNut's heat map for the Pro 241: a 16mm heel, 5mm low produced a loss of efficiency from 1.3 down to 1.24 or ~4.6%. Looking at AskGolfNut's heatmap it predicts a loss of 3%. Is that good or bad? I do not know but given the possible variations I am going to say it is ok. That location is very close to where the head map goes to 4%, these are very small numbers, and rounding could be playing some part. But for sure I am going to say it is not absurd. Looking at one data point is absurd, but I am not going to spend time on more because IME people who are interested will do their own research and those not interested cannot be persuaded by any amount of data. However, the overall conclusion that I got from that video was that between the three clubs there is a difference in distance forgiveness, but it is not very much. Without some robot testing or something similar the human element in the testing makes it difficult to say is it 1 yard, or 2, or 3?
