I just got another hybrid (same make, in 21 deg.) but noticed that the 17 deg. has a 110 gr. shaft (1.9 deg. torque) and the 21 deg. is 108 gr. shaft (2.0 deg. torque).

I checked the bands and looks like the 17 deg. is a regular-lite steel and the 21 deg. is a regular. ugh.

I haven't played with the new one (21 deg.) yet, so can't really make a call. Just wondering if any of you studs out there already know if this will be a problem.

1 gram = 1 Dollar Bill
Take 2 dollars (not a 2 dollar bill ) and slide them under your grip and see if you notice the difference. Don't use tape cause that will add more weight.

I'll bet you the 2 bucks you don't notice the difference

i can't believe a dollar bill weighs a whole gram. Huh. So five singles weighs about the same amount as a nickel? Okay.

Got my info from the

uh oh..so there will be a difference then in feel huh..with the one point of swing weight. That's it I'm getting another one..lol

the Treasury site said this: " Each currency note , regardless of its denomination, weighs about one gram . There are 454 grams in one U.S. pound, so there should be 454 notes in a pound"

If you press 5 bills into size of the nickel.. I can see that

It feels lighter cuz of the weight spread on bigger surface

played them both today..couldn't tell a difference in weight..but the Regular LITE seemed a tad more flex.

I'm sick..woke up..wrapped some remaining stocking stuffers..went outside..it was still dark morning..took out both hybrids and did a blind swing test (just closed my eyes and swung them both repeatedly).

I did manage to pick out the Regular flex from the Regular LITE..that was enough..just ordered the 17 in a REGULAR flex (GolfGods..saw them here a while back)..I justified it, to myself, that I would "donate" my current 17 deg. to one of my buds that I haven't seen in a year..a belated x-mas gift for him, I need help.
