Topping a god damn, no good, piece of crap hybrid. I hate the sound it makes, kind of a "doink" sound. LOL.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Teeing the ball up a quarter inch on a par 3 and then hitting it fat, into the water.

Yeah, but you get more out of a topped hybrid than a topped long iron.

What kind of an idiot would top a long iron??? ;-)

holycrap I thought I was the only one who consistently topped hybrids - WTF is the deal with that ?!?!?      I've owned probalby a half dozen hybrids & just can NOT get confidence with them.    Much prefer long irons - I have swarn hybrids off for good mostly due to topping them (don't have that problem as consistently with other clubs) !!

I don't do it anymore but for the longest time it was almost a given. I think it's because my brain could not commit, am I sweeping or am I striking down, so I'd kinda try to do both at the same time as I looked up to admire my soaring ball flight. DOINK. Now I hit down on those ******* like they're wedges and it's all good.

gotta say it's a toss-up between decelerating through a pitch shot that shanks off the toe of the club, or blading my bread-and-butter 100yd shot (perfect distance with my GW).

The 18th at my home course is a par-4 with a slight curve to the left and an approach shot over water.  Too many times I've bombed a drive leaving me less than 100 in and caught that shot thin or fat because the water was in my head.  It can be a real card killer.

Screwing up a lag putt. I expect my second putt to be close enough to take the pressure off, when its not I'm pissed at myself. Shouldn't have to be superman to get it with 2-3 feet from a distance.

Not hitting my chip shot to 2-3 feet of hole. Anything less is a bad shot. To me that's worse than 3 putting

The 60-90 yard approach after completely over-clubbing on the previous shot.  There's nothing more frustrating than hitting a perfect drive on a short par 4 and having to take a 75% swing, knowing full well that I should have hit a hybrid and left an solid 105-115 which is a much easier shot for me. I'm not a super long hitter either, so I'm never going for par 5s in two, but I'm always going Driver/5I to about 60-70 yards, when I should be going Hybrid/6I then PW or 9I from 115-140.

The worst has to be what happened to me yesterday...

Par 5, crush my tee shot around 290, which left me about 215 out... Know that I have a chance to be on the green in two with my hybrid, and then yank it straight left!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAMMMMNNNNN IT!!!!!!

I had several rounds in a row last season where I would have between 175-215 into par 5s and duff a long iron.  Incredibly frustrating.  At one point I counted 5-6 par 5s in a row where this happened (only counting par 5s where I had an iron in my hand with a chance to reach in two).

dubbing the short pitch/chip shot - doesn't have to be close, but I want a clean hit - straight reference to the "what's your most inconsistent shot" thread

  • decelerating and just mishit
  • or the blade/skull

both stink equally

Not sure If this counts as a "blow it" shot but the result is less than pleasing.  I hate driving into a water hazard that splits the fairway.  I can stand bad drives that end up in the water, but when I knock one right down the pipe only to have it roll into a water hazard I get very frustrated.

Yeah, that's like fall golf or night golf with lights. Smack a beauty dead center and never find it.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
