Date: June 20th, 2025 4:57 PM Author: Judas Jones 4W to 5h is too big a gap at the top of the bag. Should be at least 1 club in between those (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5740943&forum_id=2).#49035627) |

Date: June 20th, 2025 5:00 PM Author: Dave Prole I hit my 4w 175 and 5H 160 so it's not that bad
But yes it is a concern
I'm experimenting with Callaway Elyte Heavenwood, Mizuno st-max 230 4H and Callaway Super 3H in the lab this weekend
Bigger issue is that I hit my driver 230 now and mini 200
The top of my bag is a fluid situation |

Date: June 20th, 2025 5:03 PM Author: Judas Jones Ok, that seems fine. That gapping between those 2 clubs will get a lot bigger as your speed increases. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5740943&forum_id=2).#49035656) |

Date: June 20th, 2025 5:01 PM Author: Judas Jones How do you like the mini driver?
I picked up a used G425 12 degree that I'm gaming as a "2W" at 44.5" playing length. Only "problem" so far is I'm hitting it too far, so it's really just been more of a draw-biased driver when I want to move it right to left. Going to cut a spare shaft down to 44 or 44.25 and maybe loft up to 13 |
|
Date: June 20th, 2025 5:18 PM Author: Dave Prole Mini lives up to all the reviews so far. Hit it like 10 times off the same 2.75 tee, incredibly consistent and smooth feeling, nice high launch and straight as fuck
Haven't tried it off the deck yet but would imagine the turf interaction is way better than any ping G driver |
|
Date: June 20th, 2025 9:21 PM Author: Judas Jones lol, I’m not hitting driver off the deck. I took the 3 wood out of my bag because it was purely a tee club. Currently pulled my 5 wood out and playing a g430 3h lofted down to 18 as my longest club off the deck. I seem to get along better with hybrids than fairway woods currently, and I can hit that 225-245 on good strikes, which is within 5 or 10 yards of what I was getting with the 5W (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5740943&forum_id=2).#49036230) |

Date: June 20th, 2025 10:21 PM Author: hank_scorpio how is this not just a driver from 20 years ago? It seems like people just realizing their new drivers aren't that great (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5740943&forum_id=2).#49036373) |
|
Date: June 21st, 2025 6:51 AM Author: .,.,.....,.,.;,.,,,:,.,.,::,...,:,..;,.., It reminds me of the Callaway GBB deuce 2-wood from the late 90s. basically a 2/3 wood designed to be hit off the tee. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5740943&forum_id=2).#49036892) |

Date: June 21st, 2025 9:55 AM Author: varg vikernes in club head size they are but the differences are length and especially loft.
20 years ago you’d have a 300 something cc head but 45” with 8 or 9 degrees loft. “tee it high and let it fly” most of the time. different than how you’d hit a FW off the tee and harder to control
the “mini” drivers are more like a 2 or strong 3 wood loft. you shouldn’t be teeing it up high trying to get maximum launch like you might with a driver |
|
Date: June 20th, 2025 5:02 PM Author: hank_scorpio ping chipr is a wasted club, you should be easily able to bump and run an 8 iron or something when you need to, I'd worry less about good approach shots and more about what is happening after bad ones (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5740943&forum_id=2).#49035651) |
|
Date: June 20th, 2025 5:19 PM Author: Dave Prole Yeah it's def the first out after I add another wood or hybrid (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5740943&forum_id=2).#49035691) |

Date: June 21st, 2025 10:39 AM Author: .,.,.....,.,.;,.,,,:,.,.,::,...,:,..;,.., If he could get to 36 putts or less then he could play with just a driver, 7 iron and pw and score better (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5740943&forum_id=2).#49037196) |
|
Date: June 20th, 2025 10:18 PM Author: varg vikernes what shots do you hit with the bunkr? kinda want to get one just to mess around with in my yard. too much bounce for me on the course.
ping should make something similar with the full face grooves, eye 2 shape and sole but lower bounce. they could call it the flopr |
|
Date: June 20th, 2025 10:19 PM Author: Judas Jones Bunker shots, presumably (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5740943&forum_id=2).#49036368) |
|
Date: June 20th, 2025 10:24 PM Author: varg vikernes lol. i’d only try to use it off soggy turf with all that bounce.
i guess it’s supposed to be used with the face straight out of bunkers but i can’t imagine trying that. it’s weird enough seeing pros with the square to closed stance on those shots these days |

Date: June 21st, 2025 6:54 AM Author: .,.,.....,.,.;,.,,,:,.,.,::,...,:,..;,.., you should seriously focus on nothing but putting instead of worrying about your swing speed or which hybrid combo is best or whatever the fuck else you waste time doing.
