hit the 18* nike hybrid at golfsmith the other day and it feels pretty good. for me it was easier to hit than most hybrids that are under 20*. they're tough to get in the air if your not a good ball striker which i am not the best at

im ok with the flop shot but it is very hard to control distance.. biggest part is committing to the shot and I generally use it if I'm on the edge of the green or have to clear a bunker and the pin is on the short side of the green. it will stop within a foot of wherever it lands for me as I never really get any spin on it. I use a 60* with 7* of bounce for punch outs i use a 5 if i have to keep it low for a good distance but if there is just a couple limbs out to about 10-15 yards ill play a 7 way back in my stance and get a little more carry. i feel like theres a little more control with the 7 just cause its a shorter club and it won't run as much as the 5. I'm right handed and idk about you but i can either hit it straight or put a little draw on it and run it down the middle of the fairway if I'm on the left side of the fairway which is generally where i end up. I have a natural little fade which makes it hard for me to hit a draw. I've been practicing a draw for about 2 months and sometimes its perfect, sometimes it hooks, and sometimes it just goes perfectly straight but everyone is different and has a natural draw, fade, straight shot. I cannot draw on command but i can definitely hook it!! haha ill aim to the left of my target and club down but close/deloft the club and just swing along the same path as my feet

I recently replaced my RBZ 3 wood with the Ping i20 15* 3 wood. It has a solid feel and a classic shape. It's a smaller head and pretty workable. And the all black on the club looks pretty sick with the white lines on the face!!

I have the Adams Pro a12 and I'm not sure if they're blades, but they're about as close as you can get to it and I love them. It has a tiny muscle back. They are so smooth off the face and very easy to hit. Come with the KBS 90 shaft which for some people may or may not work, it's a mid to high launching shaft with mid to high spin. Although, the combination of the shafts and iron heads feel like butter, but honestly I would like a little more feel and get some better feedback.

Playing with a friend of mine yesterday... par 3 and the pin was in the back and he had left himself about a 50 footer. This isn't a hard course by any means but still a 50 footer.. he's been looking at new putters and was actually looking at the one I already own. Needless to say, he's nails with it, he's a 2 handicap and a VERY good putter. Told him $20 if he makes the putt and he never takes long to line it up. Took about 10 seconds to get down the path of the putt and let it roll and it was the prettiest thing I have ever seen especially since I had never seen more than MAYBE a 20 footer with someone I was playing with. He drilled it with the perfect speed it was so awesome I couldn't believe it!! I've never chipped one in around the green and yesterday I hit one just about perfect but left the flagstick in from about 15 yards or so. Hit it a little too hard but it was still a good feeling hitting the pin!!

These are my usual distances but they vary so much just cause hitting into the wind i have no idea how to keep it low. but no wind and downwind, yes i can consistently hit these distances. the only problem being they're 100% carry

cool thanks guys

How do you put what clubs yo have in the bottom of your posts?

pablo... putting is the hardest thing in the world

haha can't make this stuff up! the hardest part is hitting into the wind they go nowhere simply because they go so high. i have it relatively forward in my stance and yes i do believe i have a pretty steep swing. my balls literally hit the green and bounce once and just sit. I would love to be able to lower it and get some spin on the ball cause if i come up short there is zero chance for the ball to roll out even 5 feet. I would like to learn this swing so I have more options with my clubs where i can carry the green or run it up the front. thanks for the input

im 22 and just started playing 8 months ago but I'm beyond obsessed with the sport. I hit the ball a really long ways but i hit it too high with my short irons and balloon it with my long irons. Im down in tampa now and met a kid and his dad was James Black who played on the pga at the same time as arnold palmer and all those guys. however, his trajectory was unreal, he hit every shot low and could make the long irons release and the short irons stop or come back. My flight is just so high wherever it hits on the green its either staying there or rolling back 2 feet at the most and thats if the slope is back towards me. I would love to get the ball flight this kid has and I tried not swinging so hard and not hinging at the top so bad. any instruction will help as i am a quick learner and if it doesn't feel right immediately I'm pretty good at making the adjustments. here are my distances so you guys have an idea: yes these are legit and they do balloon pretty bad. with my driver I average 120-127 swing speed off the tee and I have used trackman to get those numbers more than 20 times. gotten ball speed up to 197 but I do not swing like that on the course. trying to find more control and a lower ball flight so I can shape the shot better. Ive been working on a draw and a fade and can actually do them fairly well its just that I hit the damn ball a mile in the air. 4 - 240 5 - 225 6 - 210 7-195 8-185 9-175 P - 155 GW - 140 I can work all these to take about 5 yards off or put 5 more on top. everything is good except for my ball flight Adams Pro A12 with KBS shafts.. not the C-Taper, however I am getting X100 put on mine as these are mid to high launch shafts anyways. I have the 6-GW bent back a degree.
