Re: The new age of Hybrids

I've heard two arguments on loft creep.

Arguement 1:

Loft creep is the byproduct of companies trying to be longer. Start bending all the clubs strong, and players start gaining more distance.

Arguement 2:

Loft creep is the byproduct of game improvement designs. Oversized cavity back clubs would never get off the ground at 'old school' lofts.


I back argument 1. The argument that an oversized cavity back iron can't get the ball up is bogus. Now, instead of hitting a 30° 5 iron, I hit a 30° 6 iron - in an oversized cavity back model - and it goes just fine.

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
