For me I didn't like how short the face of the titleist is. That's the same reason I didn't like the i25. The titleist felt good but I had a lot of shots high up on the face.

I am the same, the taller the face, the more I like it. Also the more bulge/roll the less I like any hybrids/woods.

I purchased a x hot pro 3 wood recently as well and I'm very impressed with Callaway's woods. If I was in the market for a driver I think that's probably what I'd be scooping.

Yeah Callaway did a nice job with their X hot stuff. Enjoy, now you just need the snow to melt.

@Jakester23 the Adams V4 has officially changed my opinion of hybrids again and has kicked the X Utility out of the bag this year.  Have you had any change to try out the X2 hot hybrids yet?

I actually own 2 X2 Hot hybrids ha ha. I went to golfsmith (had a bunch of gift cards) and hit every hybrid they carried. I absolutely fell in love with the Callaway. It launches great but doesn't balloon. The thing I've noticed that I really like its how well it preformed on off center hits. I ended up getting a 19 degree and a 22 degree. So no more utility or 4 iron.

Very nice! Yeah I am sold on the hybrid again as well. It can be tough to find one that fits you but it is great when you do. The one I am using I think is Adam's Game Improvement one. :)

Try out the SLDR hybrid, the thing is a monster, I like the look. Hybrids can't bee too small for me, or too fairway woodish.

Right now I have a Adams Idea Pro A12 hybrid. I love the thing for when I need a go to drive on a short par 4. Its probably 80% chance hitting fairway with that sucker, love it.

The Pro A12 is nice, it's one of the only clubs that keeps sneaking back into my bag, if we could carry 15 clubs, it would never leave my bag.  I like it a lot off the tee, but not so much in deep rough.

I will give it a try sometime.  Right now I feel the same about the Idea V4.  It is kind of weird having a 4 iron and a 4 hybrid in the bag but the hybrid is longer than the 4 iron and more versatile.  I really like the face height of the V4.

Will do.  I sure hope the courses will open soon.

I think mine is a 3 hybrid, and my longest iron is a 4 iron. I just wanted something with a bit more gap for me.

If money is not an issue then why not go to henry griffitts  get custom fitted and get yourself a 3 and 4 hybrid? it may not be cheap but they get custom built for you and you can have them adjust them so they can hit any yardage you need them to. I bit the bullet and got me hybrids from hg (first clubs i have gotten from them) couldnt be more happy with the results. they do exactly what i need them to do at exactly the yardage i use for them. just my two cents.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Adding in, feeling like I purposely try to smash the clubhead into the ground 2 ft behind the ball. Just an arms down swing feel visual.

      By DaveP043 ·

      Its good to hear you're back to swinging, and more important that you're feeling healthy enough to do it.  As Bill says, take it gently, push just a little, I'm sure you'll be back to speed soon.

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      By DaveP043 ·

      Yeah, all of the basic PA relief options are available for just one stroke.  However, 17.2a(2) offers an additional choice, the Player might choose to take Stroke and Distance by dropping within the PA, where he made his first attempt to play from the PA.  If he decides after dropping not to play it, he can then take any of the other options, for one additional PS, two in total.   Model Local Rule E-11 is probably being used.  The Committee can define whether the rule applies only to specific power lines or structures, could limit it to only those lines or structures in bounds.  However, then you have to determine where the ball hit the power line, which is pretty difficult, so most often they apply no matter where the ball hits the power line.  You can check the specific wording of the local rule to be sure. And the MLR as written applies no mater where the ball ends up.  So I think you did right, the player should replay the stroke with no penalty. You're right, the DQ only applies if a Stroke is made with the non-conforming club.  We'd have acted very quickly if we could have avoided that.  However, he had stickers on the driver, and we were made aware he had hit driver several times before we got the report.

      Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame

      By mcanadiens ·

      Always summed up my feelings about the man.  I'm a life-long Reds fan (took me till 12 to discover hockey). Even though I was pretty young, I remember the excitement when Rose came back to Cincinnati from Montreal and broke Cobb's record.  My parents weren't big TV people, so the night he got that hit off Eric Show, I was messing with an ancient black and white we had in the basement. Got it to work just well enough with the rabbit ears to get a half decent picture. It was an exciting moment for sure.  Unfortunately, it all went downhill from there. I suppose it is always tough on kids when their team's major stars show their warts. All those years of denial plus the occasional indication that he may have been an out-right pedophile, makes it hard for me to feel much one way or another. After all, the man is dead.
