RT, unless you can rip a 3 iron with a nice high ball flight then the hybrid is the way to go. Those things are sweet, it's so much easier to hit the longer shots and you'll be a lot more consistent with them. I can't use them because I hit them too high but of the ones I've seen Taylor Made seems to have the best. Something in the 18-21 degree if you can hit it fairly long, maybe up to 24 degrees if you want it to be more forgiving.

And btw RT, wtf, are you sponsored by Cleveland? lol

I hit the 21* Sonartec MD Transition Club (big name for Old Man Stick) today. 234 yds. total with 3 yards of roll. It had a UST IROD Shaft in it. Very nice looking. I feel so friggin old hitting it tho. But DANG it was hot. I tried a 17* Clev. and a 16* Taylor. Neither I hit near that sonartec. I used to hit a 3 iron nice and high. Now I have changed my swing plane and things don't go as high as they used to. (They have Viagra for clubs? Oh yeah...there called Hybrids)

This sonartec is apparently what was n the Bag of the Open Champion last year. Had good reviews. Nick Price is tour player for them alog with a few others. And the way I hit it it was a nice club. I'm thinking the 19 , 21 , 23 degree clubs and take the 3 and 4 irons out. I didnt have a 2 iron anyway. That will make 14 in da bag.

And No..Not sponsored by Cleveland. I will say this tho. Vijay is really my favorite tour player. His work ethic on the game is something I really admire. I hope he keeps that #1 spot for a long time. Phil and Ernie I really like. And that Retief Goosan. OMG that swing of his is NICE.

I'm gonna give the new Michelob Amature Tour a try. They have a few loacal events and stuff here. See how my game holds up after a few years off. Maybe the Senior Tour someday. I got 8 years to get ready so you never know.

Anyway..thanks for the advice Stang ,and BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR QUEST BUD. I HOPE YOU PLAY WELL and MAKE SOME BUCKS:aok

Hey, don't worry about that. Vijay has a 9 wood in the bag. A hybrid is way more manly than a ladies wood

Ladies wood:rofl

When I was younger and playing 6 days a week and hitting balls every day and night , I found this ladies 3 wood. It was a Hogan (back in the old days of persimmon) with a ladies shaft in it. I used to hit that thing a mile. I mean I have NO idea why but it was a hot MOFO. For the time anyway.

reminded me of that.

How old are you if you don't mind..and My email is in my sig. Email me a link to that tour and i'll keep up with ya.

The shaft was probably so wippy that it was like cracking a rat tail on something when you hit the ball. SMACK!

I pitched an awsome wedge. Very mean. It was a hpyer hybrid 9 iron. My par went down along with my disability and handicap. I was very impressed with the shafts willingness to flex to my needs.
The angle of the head was and still is 14 degrees but that can all be adjusted with the fully modulating shank. I feel to drive a nice wedge its all about the modulation of the shank. A hybrid shank no less

Ah golf and aircraft. My Father always said I was good enough to be a pro. But I wasn't interested, no I wanted to be a pilot. Great move that as it turned out.

I could be on the tour now with my own jet !
I was a bit inconsistent though. My favourite shot was when I sliced a shot so badly it ended up behind me and further away and in the rough. But from there I dropped it in the hole for a birdie

. Maybe I'm just a lucky golfer.

LOL, I know I know I know...

I had such a bad habit of firing off a hozel rocket at random in college that my coach wouldn't let me use the "S" word, he called it a quick fade lol.

Ha Golf....... the only sport you can actually gain weight in

From a long time greenskeepers perspective;

Preferred lie does not mean picking up the ball no matter where it lands and putting it where you wish it would have landed.

Mulligans are for...well mulligans.

Playing two balls is stealing a round of golf...play your 1st ball then get the hell outta the way so I can make YOUR course pretty and playable.

The 3 to 10 seconds a maintenece person makes you wait is nothing compared to the 27 practice swings you take before addressing the ball.

Got a million more but out of time, so swing away you heros of the little white ball, and don't forget when you get back to the clubhouse to whine; the greens are too green, the roughs are too rough and the sand is too sandy. Hmmm, sounds kinda like AH don't it.
