So I built a 23 degree hybrid because I was getting the same distance from my 4 iron as I was the 5 iron so I replaced the iron with the hybrid. I used the True Temper TX-90 shaft in the hybrid, but I guess the head is very light because it came out at a swingweight of C6. My irons have a swingweight of D8, and I like them at that weight even though most people probably think it's too high. Anyway, I need to increase the swingweight of the hybrid, so I was thinking of pulling the shaft, adding a 10 gram weight and then putting the shaft back in. I think this would raise it up to about D1 which should be in line with my other hybrid. Does that sound like the right amount of weight to add to get the desired swingweight?

I was looking over your clubs in your bag and I was wondering if you get tired swinging such heavy clubs. I understand how heavy clubs feel good and solid at the bottom but I have to think you should talk to one of the club makers in denver and see if you might be better off by not having such wide differences in swing weight's throughout your clubs. Such heavy irons could make you really quick with your driver, 3 wood etc. It's hard enough to play this game with one swing tempo much less 2 or 3. Most certified club makers will recomend swing weights based on your measured club head speed of your driver and your 5 iron, just a thought....bwgolfer

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
