Oh I'm using a 4 i

Thank you MVMAC. They feel like butter soo far. The ball just seems to explode off of the face upon impact with a nice high and straight ball flight.

Yeah, the only point we were making with the 4i is that, for higher handicap players like me and, based on your stated handicap, you, is that the iron vs. the hybrid decision usually resolves to hybrid because while we can hit the 4i, it's a lot harder to hit consistently and since you're probably hitting into a green with that club, you're making it harder on yourself to hold the green because irons will come in lower than hybrids and have a tendency to run out more. So I myself can hit a 4 iron, but if I had one, I'd just use it on the range for practice because it requires me to hit it well, and I'd bag a hybrid on the course. I think that's the crux of what the others were thinking who made mention of the 4i vs 4h issue.

I dont use a 4i. I use a UDI 20. Driving ironish 42 inch club. 20° as I recall. I tee off on par 5s and if I am lucky I can pull it out on the second shot and birdy. Also useful for screwed up tee shots on par 4s. I like 3 and 4 irons, but they are too heavy a head to use on a longer better shaft. The makers are turning out some real cool designs. Maybe just focus more on the shots you want to make.

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
