ok guys I have a new Taylormade Dual hybrid.. But I feel like the shaft is to light... it is 65 grams... everyone else has around 80 to 85 grams... I hit it ok but feel like I come out of the swing a little because it is so light.. Any suggestions on a shaft that would be good to consider???? Thanks

I have a Titleist 503h hybrid with the Aldilla NV 85 shaft on it and a TM Dual hybrid with a stock shaft on it. The heavier shaft definitely feels better on hybrids than the lighter ones. I always come out of my swing with the TM Dual hybrid and this is due to the lighter shaft. The heavier shots give me control and accuracy. Aldilla NV 85 is the most popular shaft on hybrid these days...and the price is not bad at all.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
