I just got a new set of irons and a new 3 wood, now i would like to get a couple hybrids to fill in the gaps but im clueless on what lofts i need. the 3 wood is a 15 degree and the 4 wood is a 23. Also im not opposed to not putting the 4 iron in my bag and just get 3 hybrids because i dont hit the 4 very well, the 5 iron is 26 degrees. Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

In the bag:
driver: Sumo2 9.5
3/5 wood: 15/17
hybrids: 3/4 rhythm
irons: cci 4-pw, swputter: newport 2 detourballs: nxt

most 4 woods are 16.5*, but any way, try a 17-19 with 4 iron or 20-24 with out.

I'm pretty sure you meant 4-iron and not 4-Wood... I'm assuming your 4-

Iron is 23 degrees. The short answer is, do you prefer woods or hybrids? You might want to consider a 20-21 degree hybrid to "replace" your 3-iron. If you like it, then you can consider a 23-degree to actually replace a 4-iron. And if you dislike it, you can get a 5-wood (18-19 degrees) instead of a 2-hybrid, assuming you like fairway woods.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.
