First of all, I have seen a big improvement in my ballstriking since reading the "deep hands" thread. My question is at what point in the takeaway should I start taking my hands "deep". It seems that if I take them deep too soon, the clubhead gets well inside my hands at parallel. Should I start straight back until a certain point and then go deep with the hands, or is there something else I am doing wrong? I will try to post another video as soon as i can.

Lots of great recommendations. I'm going after work tomorrow and am planning to try out the Wilson Fybrid, the Adams Idea a7, and possibly a TM Raylor. Here's hoping that they have them in the loft I'm looking for. It seems that around here most stores don't carry any hybrids with a loft less than 22* or so.

I see what you mean. Makes perfect sense. Would this promote and out to in swing that could be causing a fade?

I decided to try recording my swing when I got home from work today. This is an old MacGregor 7 iron I use to keep the soil broken up in the backyard. Just looking for impressions/suggestions.

"decent ball striker" is about right. I do keep most of these stats on a regular basis. Usually around 34-36 putts, 7 or so fairways, around 5 G.I.R., and I usually get up and down around 3 times. Most of my one putts are when I get up and down. My biggest stepping stone right now is the sand.

I would mostly like to improve my G.I.R. The 52* and 58* wedges I have are just right for me so I cant see adding a wedge. I actually use the 3 iron at least a couple times a round at my home course and am comfortable with it. After seeing some of the recommendations here and knowing what would be the most useful for my game, I think I've decided to pick up a hybrid in the next few days. I'll do what was suggested earlier and take my 3 wood and 3 iron and find something that splits the difference. Thanks for all the help.

I think I've decided to try out a hybrid at Dick's in the next few days. If it feels right I'll probably get it due to the fact that they are supposedly a bit better out of the rough. I figure an 18* hybrid should bridge the gap between my 3 wood and 3 iron pretty well. Thanks for the suggestions.

I've been playing with 13 clubs for a while now and am looking to add a 14th soon. Right now I have: Taylormade Burner Driver & 3 Wood Mizuno MP-57 3-PW Mizuno MP T-10 52* & 58* Odyssey White Ice #9 I'm thinking about adding a hybrid to bridge the gap between my 3 iron and 3 wood. Any suggestions on a good hybrid? I have never hit one and don't really know much about them. Or would I be better off getting a 5 wood instead?

Playing much more this year. I sprained my ankle about this time last year and had to put up the clubs. I have been making up for it this year for sure.

Mizuno MP-T10 58/10, a dozen Srixon Trispeed Tours, and a new FootJoy Weathersoft glove.

Srixon Trispeed Tour for me.

In my mind I am singing a Beastie Boys song over every shot - "Let it flow, Let yourself go, Slow and low, That is the tempo." It gets me in a groove.

I realized my mistake after it was too late to edit my post. Checked the scorecard again, and it should have been 6 pars instead of 5. I knew it wouldn't be long before someone called me out on it.
