Thats fine I undestand all that but it doesnt automatically make it a better club just because the head is 460cc instead of 425cc or whatever. And its very possible to hit the sweet spot and still not hit the ball straight.

True, but a bigger head gives you more of a margin of error on mishits.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

I currently use a 400cc Titleist 905T. I love it, but as always, I go through times when I just can't hit it straight. When I am going through a time like this, and I have an important round, I pull out my ole trusty Hawkeye VFT. The head is 300cc I believe. It is very small, but I hit the ball dead straight probably 80-90% of the time, and when it does curve, I normally find a fairway. I lose about 20 yards or so, but I'm in the fairway.

I guess what i'm trying to say is you have to go with confidence. If you have confidence with a stick you find in the yard that you strapped a hunk of metal too with twine and bubble gum, use it. Look around a see what you can find. Demo different clubs.

In my bag:

DRIVER: 905T w/ Fujikura E360 Shaft
3 Wood 906 F4 w/ Aldila Proto "By You"
Irons: MP 30 w/ Rifle 5.5 Wedges Oil Can 50*, Vokey SM 54* and 58*Putter: C-06

      Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
