  • Question for the show

    Say my typical miss on my iron is low on the face (and a tad bit on the toe). A iron that is set to a more flat angle on the iron should, in a perfect world help me hit more towards the center of the club face, or at least get the ball up towards the middle in contact? Correct?

Viktor Hovland's Win, KPMG Recap + Kate Smith-Stroh

Club Fitting Q&A with Larry Bobka + The Algorithm of Winning
Q: What new clubs are you gaming this year, Larry?
Larry mentions trying a Ninewood driver and a mix of blade and cavity-back irons, indicating ongoing experimentation and the willingness to explore non-mainstream options to optimize feel and performance.
Club Fitting Q&A with Larry Bobka + The Algorithm of Winning
Q: Should I be hitting my mini driver off the tee like a fairway finder or more like a traditional driver?
It depends on how you intend to use it; if used as a fairway finder from the deck, you may set up slightly differently than when used as a secondary driver designed for carry and distance, with adjustments to ball position and stance.
Club Fitting Q&A with Larry Bobka + The Algorithm of Winning
Q: Why do many PGA Tour players use shorter drivers than standard?
The reason is control and dispersion; top players trade off some distance for tighter control and straighter ball flights, using heavier or shorter shafts to manage spin and accuracy on demanding courses.
Club Fitting Q&A with Larry Bobka + The Algorithm of Winning
Q: What's one new club or shaft or product of any kind that has really surprised you in a good way this year so far in fittings?
Larry points to the Ping I-540/IV540 family as a standout, noting it launches high and has gained performance while maintaining playability and forgiveness, exceeding expectations after transitioning from the 530s.
