I'm thinking of replacing my 3 iron with a 21 degree hybrid, I have good gaps between my 2h, 3i and 4i but would like a 3h to replace the 3i to make the game easier. Question I have is would there be much of a distance gap between my current 19 degree and the 21? How much of a gap do you get between closely spaced hybrids?

I used to carry both a 21 and a 19. I had overlap issues. I would only carry my 19 5 yards further than the 21, just on a lower trajectory. I use a 17 now and get a better gap. I fly my 17 about 215 and my 21 around 200. If i have a gap, its from my 21 to the 4i. I only carry my 4i 183. So i get stuck between the two sometimes when i have a 190-195 shot to make.

I play a 23* and 17* degree gap and have nice distance gap two. The key is knowing how to control your distance with hybrids. I was instructed when you want to play it like a hybrid stand closer to the ball and hit down on it and when u want distance back off and swoop it and bomb it. With theses swing i can alter my 23* anywhere from about 200-215 then the 17* from about 220-235. I really like having to pick a club and deciding how to hit it to get the ball to do what i want it too.

ever think of just not having a 3 h or 3 i and leaving a gap between 2h and 4h? A 3 wood might fit pretty well in there.

    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.

    • Thanks man, sometimes it’s hard to improve bc when I’m not feeling comfortable I don’t like practicing bc I get frustrated. Any advice?
