Hi,guys you can look at my current setup below i want to know what you think club wise i was going to get a hybrid for my 3 iron and i am thinking of ditching the 3 wood i think its hard to hit. I am going to ditch my 60 degree wedge aswell as i hardly hit it what would you do if it was you. would say a 2 hybrid replace my 3 wood distance wise? but what could i replace my 60 degree with.


thanks

For me, 4W is easier to hit than the 3W (which i ditched...worm burner city). However, if you don't like fairway woods at all and hit hybrids better, a 2H would be very reasonable.

Driver: Cleveland Classic 270, 10.5*
Fairway Woods: Adams Speedline LP (3 & 5)
Hybrids: Wilson Staff Fybrids 21*, 24*, UST V2 stiff
Irons: Callaway X-20 Tour, 5-PW, Rifle Project-X (flighted) 6.0
Wedges: Cleveland CG15 DSG 52* & 58* +/- 56* Niblick

Putter: Yes! Amy

A 2 hybrid is usally around 18* but they are a lot easier to hit than a fairway wood. I dropped my 5W for the Hybrid, and I'm hitting the hybrid so well lately it's taking over the 3W as well. I can still hit a 3W farther but not enough to warrant eh lack of consistency I get with the Hybrid. Plus the Hybrid will probably be more versatile out of the rough..

Well, you've got a 56, so having a 58 wouldn't do much for you.

As I understand it, your set will now be driver, 2H, 3H, 4-P, 52, 56, putter for a total of 13. My suggestion is to wait a few rounds until you figure out what you need. For example, if you are using the 2H off the tee sometimes and need a little more distance, consider a 1H.

There is no rule that says you actually have to have 14 clubs. I carry 13. I have a gw at 52 and sw at 58 for my wedges.

I am considering dropping my 3 wood as well and playing with 12.

I have been considering dropping my 3i for a hybrid lately. I don't think I hit my 3i very well when I'm playing. When I'm banging balls on the range, it's pretty much 50/50 hitting good & bad shots. I've never even hit a hybrid yet though ... but I have heard lots of good things about them.

Hmm Perhaps you could have your 60 bent to a 59 or a 58.5 (lol if they do that) perhaps that would work.

Since you added that "if it was you" bit:

1.) learn to hit that 3-iron 2.) swap the 52 and 56 for a 54, or get the 52 bent to 50 and drop the PW (hey, you asked) 3.) hang onto the 60 - when you need it you need it. 4.) swap the 3w for a 2h or a 19* 5-wood

    • Just listened to episode 19 on grip strength. Very interesting stuff. I missed what the long drive competitors grip strength is, but presumably very high.  I suspect that part of the correlation between grip strength and speed is that general body strength is likely correlated well with club head speed and it's difficult to do a full body workout without going to town on your grip. Deadlifts are frequently recommended as a good exercise to do for golf and for a lot of people grip strength is the limiting factor on what they can deadlift. Doing deadlifts will improve your grip strength, so quite plausibly grip strength and club head speed are both caused by making yourself stronger.  Do you have any charts about how grip pressure changes through the swing? I'd be interested to see that.  Lastly, last week I played a tournament round and as I played was thinking about my grip strength and I noticed I was gripping it pretty hard. Then I realized after the round (I did not play very well at all) that I had been very tense throughout my body and I'm now wondering if that tension is the cause of my poor play. I have five tournament rounds and three casual rounds in the last three months. tournament rounds are 84, 81, 80, 81, and 81. Casual rounds are 71, 70, and 72. I wonder if that's caused by tension making it past my wrists. That's a long way of saying the last little bit Erik added rang true with me.  Great episode!

    • Eric, Man, I'm sorry. This video is just too damned boring. I don't know what's going on like half the time. I've tried to watch it a couple of times but I get like 5 to 10 minute in and realize I'm thinking about what I'm going to make for dinner or if I should do laundry on Saturday or if I should do it on Sunday. Then I try to restart it and pay attention and my mind wanders again.  I just can't get through it. Sorry, man.   
    • I think I remember reading that Wilco Nienaber broke some record for having the fastest hands at around 27mph. His clubhead speed is probably of the order of 130mph or so, so that's roughly 5 times as fast. As Erik said, the math gets very complicated - it's at least a double pendulum system, but also with the "fixed" point moving and all the forces and torques applying to the club and the hands and the rest of the player start to get very complicated. My coach works with a biomechanist and between them they've put out a few books on the physics of the swing and it's hella complicated, but fascinating.
