Hey all,

I'm about to make my first golf clubs in about seven years and three of them will be hybrids (Snake Eyes Viper Tour Blacks). Lofts are 18, 21 and 24 degrees.

I'm a 5'11" golfer who prefers to be neutral to maybe a bit upright with my irons, but I have a very shallow, horizontal swing plane with my woods.

These things will have R-flex graphite shafts that come 45" long before cutting. What would you suggest cutting the lengths to for these clubs?

Thanks,
Jess

Depends on how much distance vs. control you want.

My 2iron hybrid is 40.5 inches long and seems to do OK for me and I'm 6'5.

That should give you some sort of idea.

Thanks. Would somewhere around 38 work for me, in your opinion, or do I need to go shorter?

Hey all,

I like to build hybrids at the same length of the clubs I'm replacing otherwise I end up with distance gaps

      Day 29 (9 Dec 25) - PW dink and rolls as well as low flighted chips.  Dink and rolls - set up with club head toe down/heel up to promote low flight, plenty of roll out.  Low flighted pitches - club flat on the ground to get ball up a Rick more and check more.   No more than 10yds total distance - focus on getting the ball to finish near (within 10’ dia circle) the target “pin”…

      Never play with him again, and make sure every time you see him (especially when he's with other people) bring it up as a joke. Everyone will laugh but him. If he wants to ruin his own reputation, let him.

      Anyone Shipped Their Golf Clubs?

      By Jasper Stratton · Posted

      Only ever used ShipSticks and never had a problem. It's really nice because you can ship to anywhere not just courses.  No matter what you use, I take the extra care of the clubs and wrap them in something before putting them in your bag and into the shipping box.

      Practicing my putting after work. I put five balls on the carpet and a mug on the other side. Once I make 3 out of 5 I can stop. If I leave any short or they go to far and fall off the rug, I restart.  Focusing on speed and hitting my mark 3 inches in front of me. Trying to gain consistency and discipline in all aspects of my putting game.
