JonMUSC08 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Im curious how the gapping process went. I currently am pretty well set up to 175 (5 iron) but cannot hit my 4 or 3 irons (like most ppl). But over 200 yds i am good with 5w & 3w. From my knowledge, hybrids are not adjustable and new clubs can be pretty strong loft compared to older clubs. Plus with new tech, they all promote going further. With my older clubs (?2012? TM rocketbladz irons), sounds like i would need a 5 or 6 hybrid to fit in place of a 3 and 4 iron haha.

I'm just working on that part of the thread but we had top end fitters to work with. My guy's concern was helping my trajectory. I was amazed to learn that all of my clubs from my 48 to my 7 iron flew the same height, between 75 and 80 feet - exactly right for my swing speed. I started loosing trajectory at 6 iron - that's actually why I have a large gap between 6 and 7 iron according to my eye ball and my shot scope stats (I also have very little gap between 6 iron and 5 hybrid and then a big one between 5 hybrid and 4 hybrid). All of that comes from not enough trajectory, not enough spin and too much run out. That only got worse with 4 hybrid and 3 wood and then to a lesser extent with driver. I hit every club in my new set up 75 to 80 feet high and there are nice even gaps going all the way up to my longest club before driver (5 wood). I also was fit for driver, which was not within the scope of this test - what he did there blew my mind but I'm clearly getting more yardage and better accuracy on the course. I've written about that elsewhere on the website. Keep the questions coming guys - I'm looking forward to seeing our other guy's stage ones. I didn't realize that Hicksta was in the Navy.

Did it replace a 4 iron? If so was loft the same? It's different than my Epon AF-505 4i in just about every way. It's a degree weaker (23 instead of 22), 3/4" longer and has a graphite shaft. And yes, as of now it has replaced my 4i, but so far I've only used it a few times and have not used it off the tee yet. Overall though it's definitely more forgiving than the typical long iron, and it's longer as well. My initial impression is that the Crossover will get limited use, but that may change as I get more comfortable with it. 8 minutes ago, Shankster said: Has anyone dialed the 2 Hybrid down to 15.5°?

I currently am pretty well set up to 175 (5 iron) but cannot hit my 4 or 3 irons (like most ppl). But over 200 yds i am good with 5w & 3w. From my knowledge, hybrids are not adjustable and new clubs can be pretty strong loft compared to older clubs. Plus with new tech, they all promote going further. With my older clubs (?2012? TM rocketbladz irons), sounds like i would need a 5 or 6 hybrid to fit in place of a 3 and 4 iron haha. Hopefully i explained this well and if anyone has some insight. thx So I'll go into it in my fitting post, but I'l answer it here as well. My Fitter James Lee a Master Fitter at PING HQ. My fitting was a bit different as it was a full bag fitting (that was arranged for me through my course outside of MGS duties and paid my own way..I say this just to answer any questions about objectivity) So we started with finding what irons would work for me. We started and ended with the G410. Then I hit a 6 iron and 7 iron with a couple different shafts. After looking at the results of those we determined my shaft would be the KBS Tour 105 and 7 iron would be the stopping point for the irons. I was hitting it consistently between 133 and 138. The 6 was going anywhere from 131 to 146. When I hit it solid, I hit it well, but I was less consistent with it. Then we hit driver (G410+) and got the distance on that around 205 on average. So worked our way down from there finding a club that would go 185 to 190 (SFT 3W) then 170 to 180 (SFT 7 Wood) then 160-165 (9W), Then 150' to 155 (5 hybrid) finally 140 to 145 (6 hybid)---The club I made a hole in one on a couple weeks ago...distance to flag?......147 yards. Like Rev said, a lot of attetnion was paid to the flight as well, if I hit a iron or FW too low, we looked for options in shaft, or lofts settings to get them up, but the only one we had to adjust there was the 3w going with 17 degree. cksurfdude, revkev, mr.hicksta and 7 others 10 Quote G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a degree weaker (23 instead of 22), 3/4" longer and has a graphite shaft. And yes, as of now it has replaced my 4i, but so far I've only used it a few times and have not used it off the tee yet. Overall though it's definitely more forgiving than the typical long iron, and it's longer as well. My initial impression is that the Crossover will get limited use, but that may change as I get more comfortable with it. I actually went the other way with mine, haha! When I get some Trackman time I'll dial it down and will post the numbers. You a fool if you put that Epon back in after what I saw on Sunday! 27 minutes ago, Rchang said: Would wonder what makes a fitter pick hybrid vs similar lofted wood. Mark Crossfield just did a video about more pGA pros going for 7 woods vs the Europeans who used hybrids due to wanting different launch The difference, I think, is that tour pros don't have the same struggles we do and have the technical ability to game either of the three (hybrid, crossover, fw). For us, it's more likely to be whatever we're more comfortable with. Personally, I feel like I would get better, more-consistent contact with a 7-wood, but like Crossfield says, with woods there's always that feeling that it could go way off the planet. cksurfdude, mr.hicksta, cnosil and 1 other 4 Quote Driver: Rogue ST Max LS Tensei AV Blue S 3w/5w: TSi2 Tensei AV Raw Blue S 4h: CLK 22* Hybrid Tensei CK Pro Blue 80HY S Irons 5-PW: 223 Steelfiber PR 95 S Wedges: RTX Zipcore Tour Rack 50, 54, 58 Steelfiber PR 105 Putter: LAB Link.1 Ball: Z-Star Diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
