Joe,
Again thanks for all the great tips, they have helped so much, i am not able to hit my hybred 3 at all, all i do is top it no matter where i place it in my stance, any suggestions, thanks,
Larry
Hi Larry,
If you do not have this problem with all your other clubs, then it would seem your hybrid 3 does not fit your swing. Check the lie angle and shaft flex, are they the same as your other clubs? I suspect not. However, if they are the same, then maybe the shape of the clubhead looks strange to you. If so, that is a distraction. I know some people who only play irons because the shape of woods bothers them. If that is the case, look only at the clubface and convince yourself that the rest of the shape does not matter for ball striking.

Joe,
I just wanted to know how I could calculate the loft levels on my irons? I want to match some new wedges and figure I should find out what my iron lofts are first. Is there a simple way that I can do this at home? Cheers and thanks so much.
Jeffrey
Hello Jeffrey,
It depends on how precise you want to be. The simplest way would be to lay the iron face down on a table an use a simple school supply tool like a plastic protractor. If you want to be more precise, take your irons to a golf shop that has the proper measuring equipment, because there you can also get the lie angles and shaft stiffness checked. If you only look at loft angle without looking at the other characteristics, you may or may not get the results you desire.

Joe,
My problem is that my nerves can not take it before a competition, This weekend the 19/11/2005 I am playing club champs and I am the B division defending champ and I am not ready to lose my trophy as yet. I play a good game but I do seem to work on my over all golf that will be accuracy to the pin and one think I do battle with is getting of the T box and chipping I also was end up short of the green. What do you suggest I do to keep my Trophy?
Thanks, Regards.

Hello John,
It is natural to get nervous before any competition. Just remember this is only a game and all the other people are nervous too. One of them may have a hot round and beat you no matter what you do, or maybe you will have the hot round, who knows? Either way, enjoy the thrill of competition, win or lose. You ask what to do to solve your problems off the tee, missing the greens, and poor chipping, yikes, there is not much else left, is there? Try to recall how you felt when you won your B division last time, and have confidence that you can do it again, just play each shot to the best of your ability, one shot at a time, and hope nobody else does any better. Even if they do better, at least give yourself a pat on the back for doing your best, and good luck to you. If you don’t want to lose your trophy, move to another town and take it with you.
