Hi there
From the fairway I hit my hybrid (21° Callaway Razer X tour) and my spoon (TM burner superfast 2.0 tour) nearly the same distance. The diifference is max 10 yards. I'm VERY GOOD with my driver. Should I skip the spoon and buy a hybrid 18°? Please any advice?

Obviously I am leaning towards the Tour Spoon!

Maybe you should check them out on a launch monitor.  You could compare what the flight and numbers really are before you spend more money.   You should get more than 10 yards unless your swing speed is lower or you are playing an incorrect shaft.

Yes, I,m think I have the wrong shaft "Matrix HD Radix 7 stiff".

I have a Graffaloy Prolaunch blue (reg) in my driver (wich I like), thinking about buying the same shaft for my spoon. Or go for a 17-18° loft insted. Are going to see what happens in the launch monitor in my golf store.

I think the shaft may be the issue.  If so, Goldsmith has the blue shaft for 30 in the fairway woods and 13 for the hybrids.  They are on clearance if you decide to go that route.

Going to change the shaft to (graffaloy prolaunch blue) same as in my driver (Diablo edge tour) that shaft fits my swing perfect. I want a slight open clubsface in my woods (no closed clubfaces for me). Tried a bunch of fairwaywoods, it's all about the shaft. Think that 5-wood goes to short. Thanks for the tip ;)

    • Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.

    • Day 292 6-23 Worked on wrist arching for a bit today and then some low point control.
    • Day 3 (23 Jun 26) - Grandson put in to play this morning when he arrived at the house.  He wanted to play a full 18 from the "purple" tees (these are custom tees that play shorter than our gold but longer than the red) in a best (super) ball duet.  Was a great day working on course management - seeing him play well (for a 10yr old) - for example, hole 12 has a temp green about 100 yds from the tee box, he hits a solid 8i to 4' pin high and nails a birdie putt.  Could have never been prouder.  These are the moments grandfathers dream of - and hopefully the memories he will recall when his day comes to be Paw-paw for his grandson....may the game live on. 
    • Posted a couple swings here. I think my attempt to blend the movement still results in a more “around” back swing?
