When you look at golf club ads, go to the website and look up every set of irons online

and you always got a picture of a six iron, maybe a seven.

And these guys make every iron in the set look like a six iron because we've been schooled for years that that's what a match set looks like. But what we've learned over the last decade with the advent of these things called hybrids that when I get down below the six and I get to a five or four, I get into that mid-20s, even high-20s loft range, this thing called a hybrid is a hell lot easier way to make a 22

clubs with hybrids, but we still have this nine and p that are 16 and 17 degrees weaker than a six iron

that look just like our six iron. Well, that's a very different golf club.

A six iron in today's world is about 29 to 30 degrees in most cases.

My P is 44, so that's 15, 16, 17, 17 degrees between my P and my six.

But if I go 15, 16 degrees the other way, I've got a driver or three word.

I understand the need if you play cavity backs, but I play MP68s
