So, tomorrow I am going to get a new hybrid, 19-20 degrees of loft. I don't know whether I should get the Adams Idea Pro, or the Titleist 585.H. I want something with some workability, a little forgiveness, and no offset. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

In the bag:

Driver: F-Speed 12*
3 Wood: r7 draw
5 Wood: F-SpeedHybrid: a3 boxerIrons: Ignite 4-PWWedges: 53 Phil Rogers, vokey 56, 588 60Putter: Victoria or Puku belly

I'm was feeling the same way. I ended up getting the Titleist 585. I haven't received it yet, but looking forward to putting it in play. The main reason I went with the Titleist is because I've been very satisfied with all of my Titleist clubs.

I'm just curious: given your handicap, as well as the clubs already in your bag, why do you think you would do better with a club such as the 585.H than a Cobra Baffler DWS or a Callaway Heavenwood or X Hybrid? Have tried the 585.H or the Adams Pro, or any of the others I've mentioned? If you hit the Titleist or Adams clubs well, more power to you, but I'm just wondering if you've compared them to some somewhat easier to hit hybrids.

I have had a lot of success with my Sonartec hybrid. I replaced my 3 iron for my 200yd club and it has been awesome. When teeing it up on par 3's I get close to the same results than i did with my 3i but it flies a little higher. But let me tell you, out of the rough I am able to hit greens where it just wasnt possible almost at all with the 3i. The Sonartec is very consistent off the fairways and I have had it in the bag ever since..

I got the clubs that I have at the beginning of the year, when I was about a 30 handicap. I have taken lessons, and worked very hard, so now I am significantly less. I don't need much forgiveness, as they usually go very straight, but I want some workability to escape any trouble I might find myself in. The main thing is my putting, but I have a belly putter coming, so that will help, and I might be able to get down to a ten or so by the end of the fall.

    • 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.
