clubs agains
i am looking for a hybrid type club i can hit off the tee as i cant get on with a big headed driver . i have a slow swing so what sort of loft would be best i have a bafler 20 degree and 23 degree which i use on fairway but i would be better using something different from the tee thanks.

17 deg hybrid should do the trick.

that said i did advise a friend of mine who only v recently taken up the game to get a new driver of at least 12 degrees to make his life easier

Why would you advise anyone just starting to get a driver???????????I dont understand why more people (and by that i mean men) dont hit three woods.I didnt have driver until Xmas 2010, 3 wood more consistent, more reliable, you dont try to welly it.Appreciate the macho side makes men go for the big dawg, but learning course management, choosing accuracy over distance, surely this should be the way for beginners?

I tend to only take a driver if it will give me one of the following: -
- Better positioning than a 3 wood (like making the corner of the 90* dogleg on our 15th)
- Reaching the green in two if I don't is very difficult (long par fours)
- Making the green in two is possible (shortish par fives)
- Using it will help me remove trouble (like carrying a fairway bunker)
I don't take the driver out until the 6th on one of our courses, but use it on the 1st on the other because a 250 yard drive down the middle leaves me at least a 5 iron to the green, and that's with a back wind (it's NEVER a backwind!!!). Where possible, I take a 3 wood as it is less likely to go wrong and I hit it reasonably well anyway

Course management Chris - always a winner http://www.golfshake.com/scripts/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.gif" title="smiley" width="20" />
Maybe drivers should have a handicap restriction, like a provisional licence - you can only get one once yr below a 20 handicap lol
