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 ;)

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
