180 5 iron and 230 driver is pretty perplexing.

Not to mention a 110 8 iron and a 180 5 iron

Sounds like you’ve got some major issues. Go get a lesson

What are your ball flights look like on the driving range or playing. Your 8i and 5i gap is crazy…
Maybe you’re hitting your 5i low and it’s rolling out to 180yds and your getting underneath your 8i and skying it high for only 110yds..

What are your spin rates for these clubs? Something is not adding up, you have 5 clubs that go 180

Exactly what I thought too.

That simulator is way off.

Still learning the nuances of the game, so my question is based off of intrigue not criticism.

7W: Tour Edge HL3 stiff, 170, 185 off the tee. I'm ordering a Tour Launch E521 in R flex

3H: Nike Vapor R flex, 170.

6H: Tour Edge E521 in S flex, 140, best hit was 180.

4i: best shot 187, average 170. I finally figured out my setup for it, I am sure I can hit that 187 again

5i: 180

If you are hitting your 4i & 5i at the same/similar distances as these wedges & hybrids; what benefit are you getting from having both? Do you just switch them out based on feel that day? Are you switching between them based on lie?

What do you all think?

Find a local PGA pro and start taking lessons.

With the numbers you stated, I can almost guarantee you take it back on the inside - throw it over the top, thrust forward and flip hands - that would account for the weak and inconsistent numbers.

what kind of simulator were you using?

I'd like to know this, also. I have my doubts that it is a high end unit being in a restaurant, but I could be wrong.

KTG: Ok, cool meng.

Responses:

1) "Get lessons." I have been. Stop telling people that. Nobody gets really good at this overnight and you know it.

2) "Get a new instructor." I would have made no improvements without him.

3) "That driver is crazy low." I said I have to tee it high and I couldn't at the sim.
C'mon man.
4) "The sim is off." I don't think so. When I went to an outdoor range, I was able to use my range finder for some clubs and it pretty much matched it. For others, like the longer clubs, I couldn't get lase my shots on the driving range because the ball would go over small rises.

5) Short irons: yeah, I mentioned that they are crazy short. Another trip to the range showed 8i for 120, 9i for 110. I def want those numbers up.

6) Ball flights: usually booming, except for 4i and 5i.

7) The sim: I have no idea what they use.

I went to the driving range 2 days ago and shot three buckets. The ranges pretty much match the sim. Woods took some time to learn them. Meanwhile, in a surprising twist, I could hit the 4i and 5i reliably, a first. Ditto the 3h.

I played a match yesterday at Stonebridge. The driver was all over the place, so I "benched" it. The 3W became my most reliable club for drives. The 5w wasn't very reliable.

I left the 4i and 5i in the car, fearing the soft conditions. My 3h became my approach club. That and my 7w did well for long par 3's.
6h and 7i did superb.
Short game was all over the place. Lots of good shots that fell short, so I need to range myself. Lots of pitches that went left. Bunkers were a problem, especially a fw bunker where the ball was against the lip. So I shot it lateraly.

Chipping was decent, but with the occasional blading. Putting needs work, oddly in spite of wet conditions, greens were fast.
