I realize that no one on here will believe me but that is about what I carry mine at right now. Granted my clubs are 1" long and very upright. According to my recent fitting the 3i should be my 210-220 (not all air carry, roll included depending on type of shot) club. I have carried 225, but that was down wind AND hill, from a tee and I swung for the fences and got EXTREMELY fortunate that I actually connected square.

Longish par 3's I actually prefer to fade/cut a 2 iron in with a high trajectory/tee and two hop stop it close or grip down on my 3 wood and do a 3/4 swing low shot that hits the front frog-hair/lip and rolls onto the green somewhere.

I have given up on hybrids, I can NOT get them to be consistent, for some reason. I want to hit it like a wood and it just hooks too much or has a very unusual reverse draw thingy. It's a bananna slice that goes waaaaay out to the left and curls tightly back even/little past my line or aiming point. Looks awFUL! So the knock off Hogan Apex Plus 2i (s400 DG) stays in the bag. Thus I am looking at the MP Fli Hi's right now. Though I have yet to try a hybrid with a steel shaft so that might be the problem maybe?

And to just play devil's advocate to Dyna, some (not all) pro's also have very drastically lowered lofts. Also when I was at the Torrey Pines (? might have been called something else) Invite back in 98 or 99 (can't remember when right now ) a good portion of the field there did not hit insanely more club, I would say alot were 1-1 1/2 club longer and some were actually pretty normal.

Albeit some of these guys might not have been in the top 100 or could have been amy's for all I knew seeing as I was just a baby faced middle schooler!
