I do not have money for a lesson, but I want to improve my swing, any ideas how?

Video tape yourself and send it in to the golf channel, or get the medicus iron and the power hitter driver, they help out alot.

I just finished up a golf class last week put on by ESPN in which they gave you a set of Nike Ignite clubs to get started, namely; 4-9 irons, pw, 3-hybrid and a putter. I added a cheap driver (which I’m planning on upgrading to a Nike Summo) and a Wilson 58 deg sand wedge as well. I have played the past two months with this set and feel that I may need more fairway clubs especially for the 5 pars. I’m getting mixed up between some saying I need a 3 and a 5 wood while others say I need 5, 7 and 9 wood. As well, I’m mixed up whether I should get hybrids (like the #3 that I have) to take the place of the woods. Does anyone have suggestions on what I should get to complete my set? BTW, I do like wedges and would like to add either a LW or a GW to my set. Thanks!

The ideal set for the intermediate golfer would start with Game Improvement irons. You still need forgiveness but you’d also like a little more feel and control. If you tend to hit your irons well you might be ready to consider a regular 4 iron, otherwise stay with your hybrid 4.

For your distance clubs add a little less loft on those fairway woods and hybrids to maximize distance. You might be ready to drop your 5 hybrid and replace it with a 3 hybrid.

Your driver is still oversized with about 10-12 degrees of loft to maximize distance and accuracy. Shaft selections may be the most important component. You want a shaft that matches your swing speed and ball flight requirements. Perhaps a draw bias to help get the drive moving a little more right to left.

Your wedges can be reconfigured. A gap wedge or a lob wedge are possibly good additions. If three wedges are your choice you may want to distribute the lofts from your PW to your LW (46, 52, 58 degrees). You may want wedges with less bounce so you can hit them off of tighter lies.

For a putter an intermediate you may have already settled on what works for you, but if you are ready to try something new, one of the new MOI maxed mallets would be a good choice.

Set configuration should be: Woods (1, 3, 5) Hybrids (3, 4) Irons (Game Improvement) (5-PW, SW, LW), Putter

I have several Hybrid Golf Clubs that were given to me and I want to know which one would be the 4 iron replacement?

The 4 hybrid? Both of my hybrids have numbers on them for which iron they replace.

here’s an approximation of loft for a typical 4 hybrid: 23-24 degrees
4 iron loft = about 24 degrees

these will vary among different brands.

The key with hybrids is to actually use them on the course or the range to make sure they actually cover the distance you need covered. It is near impossible to know with certainty how far they are going to go based on loft, length, shaft material and flex.

I use steel shafts in my hybrids so they more closely match the irons they are replacing. That way the length is similar so you don’t get extra distance because the shaft is longer. However, even accounting for that I still need to take a hybrid out and see what it actually does in flight.

I’m certain there are lots of people with huge yardage gaps between their 4h and 5i when the loft alone says it should be only about 10 yards different.
