250 yards with a 16* hybrid? Riiiiiight...

I imagine a good player could do it without too much trouble. I hit my 17* 2h about 215 and I'm not a long hitter. 250 may be on the long side but I wouldn't say it "not possible".

In the bag:
Driver:  Burner 10.5* Stiff     ||    3 Wood:  Burner 13* Stiff     ||     Hybrids:  Slingshot 17*, 21*, 24* Utility

Irons:  MX-300 5-PW     ||     Gap & Sand Wedge:  Spin-Milled Black Nickel 52.08* / 58.08*

Putter:  VP-09 Blade 33"     ||     Ball:  Penta TP

That seems reasonable, what's your issue with it? Too short?

I appreciate the support-the last thing I'm going to do here is inflate or brag about my distances (cause it's annoying, and they're not really anything to brag about anyway). The Baffler 16* hybrid is practically a second driver, but unlike a driver, I never fade or slice with the 16*, so I can really step into it when need be. Also, the ball just seems to jump off the face. I hit it twice this weekend from the fairway, once on a par 5 after a nice drive, and once on a par 4 after a horrible drive. Both times it went 240+, and I hit it off the tee a couple times, where it usually goes 235-255. I can also choke down to the edge of the grip and use an easier swing for about 205-210 yards. Bottom line, remarkably easy to hit and versatile-I've reached more par 5s in 2 using the Baffler in 2009-2010 than I had in every other year of my golfing life combined.

LOL...yeah, too short. *rolls eyes* You gotta love people on golf forums who claim all these great distances. Kinda like all the people who claim to be hitting their 9-iron 180 yards...

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

Woods: :mizuno: JPX 850 9.5*, :mizuno: JPX 850 15*, :mizuno: JPX-850 19*, :mizuno: JPX Fli-Hi #4, :mizuno: JPX 800 Pro 5-PW, :mizuno: MP T-4 50-06, 54-09 58-10, :cleveland: Smart Square Blade and :bridgestone: B330-S

I'm not sure exactly how a 250 yard 16* Hybrid (essentially a 3 wood) equates to a 180 yard 9 iron? Whatever, I only put down my distance to give an idea of how useful a low-lofted hybrid can be. But it sure seems to bother you, so what the heck.

Anyway, my 9 iron (when I'm playing my Zings) usually goes about 145, sometimes 150 when I'm extra big and strong.

My 5w was magic. It did all sorts of stuff for me. Easily my favorite club in my bag...until I got a 3i hybrid and loved it so much I replaced my aging 5w with a 2h (17*). It's even better than the 5w. I'm not saying you should run out and change, just letting you know it can get better - even when its already great.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.

      Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.
