DarSum: It's perfect for #2 BP drive.
#2 or #3?
Do you have a method for determining choked down yardage for these clubs? I realize wind affects them, I'm just looking for an idea of how well the HB would work in place of the 3W. Your 160+ comment got my attention.
#2. You don't have to worry about trying to get a big long drive on that hole. Or worry about cutting too much off and catching a limb of that oak tree on the left. Or worry about driving it through the fairway. Depending on conditions, hit this 3w slightly right of the big oak and leave anywhere from 130-145. It usually goes anywhere from 260 to 275 or so on drives.
I don't have a method for choking the 3w. I usually only hit it on drives or anything over 240, depending on wind, or on approaches with a 15mph+ wind in your face 220+. I think I've only used that club on BP #3 maybe 3 or 4 times ??. The hybrid will usually always reach unless the wind is directly in your face and it never seems to be there. That 3w will go a LONG way. With a 8mph tail wind on Kaiwah #11 I was 3 feet from the hole in an Alt shot game the other night from, I think it was about 272. And hit it will full BS just because I knew it would probably be long if I didn't.
I do use the avatar movements and bs for choking the hybrid. Assuming no wind, 230-245 no bs 100% power, 220-230 would get full bs 100% power. 210-220 full bs one avatar movement down from 100%. Of course those are just averages and all depends on which course, elevation changes, landing area room, if you need to carry or let it run, etc etc... It's just a very forgiving club, unlike my possessed 3 iron.
To be honest, after the night I had last night and the couple of rounds I've played today I'm ready to throw them all in the lake anyway.
Here's why I love the hybrid. 217 yrds 16mph head wind hit with full BS on STA 17th approach.
