I just started playing about 6 or 7 weeks ago and I am hopelessly addicted. Right now I'm playing with my RAM G-Force Tour set, which consists of 11 clubs (Driver, 3 and 5 wood, 4 hybrid, 5-PW, and putter). This is working okay for me now as I get started, but I am anticipating that i will want add a wedge or two at some point, and so i would like to know the lofts on my irons so that i can pick out wedges that will fit in well. Does anyone know or can anyone tell me how I might go about finding out? Its a 2009 set, if that makes a difference. Thanks for your help, and its good to be here!

Have you googled it for the specs? Or try and find a clubmaker/fitter with a mitchell machine, they will be able to tell you, your local golf store might hav it...

You can contact ram at:

Or you can take them to a golf store to have them check the lofts.

Ram's website doesn't seem to have any specs but those would only be nominal anyway. Actual clubs will often vary from what the mfg's published specs are.  If you can find a good club man, he can measure and determine the actual loft of your clubs. In some cases it is possible to bend the clubs to adjust the loft to proper specs.  Don't get too "bent" out of shape (pun intended) on lofts relative to other brands--the important thing is to learn how far you hit your clubs and to have a proper gap--usually 3-5 degrees for most folks-- between your irons. As your swing develops and becomes consistent this will mean a little more than now.  I would imagine that if you took your 5 and 6 iron and hit 15 balls with each, the center of the two patterns would not be that far apart. As your swing becomes more consistent, this gap will widen a bit, and this is where the lofts become more important. Conventional wisdom is to strive for around a 10-12 yard separation for a full shot, but with some overlap.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
