I’m a complete golf set, which includes MIZUNO 900mx iron set graphite, Titleist D1 driver, Ping rapture 3 wood, Taylormade Burner rescue hybrid, Cleveland cg10 wedges and Taylormade Rossa Daytona putter. What bother me are the lofts/angles for those clubs, especially for the driver, 3-wood, hybrid and wedges!! So what lofts exactly should i get for each of those clubs, considering i’m a mid-to-high handicapper?
Also please give me some suggestions on the stiffness of the iron set and the woods, considering my handicap( R or S?) Thanks a lot.

I think I get your question First of all your irons are a standard loft by the manufacture you can get the adjusted usually bent to a lower loft if you desire. Drivers are your choice I play a callaway 9 deg driver with a 6.5 stiff shaft that’s all I know i feels good enough for me. Only worry about your irons and wedges if they are going a mile high an ballooning in the air.
Same as the rest of your clubs.
Hard question to answer not knowing a whole lot about your game….best i can do is tell you what i have as a 2 handicap…
Titleist 905s Driver – 8.5 loft with stiff blue Graffaloy shaft
Cobra Baffler 19 Degree hybrid with stock stiff shaft
Titleist 962b’s (3-pw) with X100 shafts
Cleveland gunmetal finish wedges (51, 56, 60)
I carry an extra wedge instead of a 3 wood, the hybrid is long enough for me.
My guess for you would be a 9.5-10.5 lofted driver with a regular shaft…but that is dependant on your swing and speed…..if you hit a hook and swing hard a regular shaft will be bad for you and if you swing slower and slice a stiff will also be bad. 3 wood loft id say should be between 14-15. I like the 19 degree hybrid, i hit it about 10 yards farther than i hit my old 2 iron and a lot straighter. as for wedges, standard PW is 48, SW is 56 and LW is 60. some play with a 48, 54, and 58 or other combination, but that is somehting that needs to be determined from play and not a guess.
Ok…..I’ll try to get this all in. Driver I would stay in the 9.5 to 10.5 range. 3 wood about a 16 degree…..and hybrid depending on the length you will need for long par 3’s Probably around a 19 degree. Irons are standardized through the set. Not knowing your swing speed its hard to guess at the flex to recommend for you…I’d go with a regular flex most likely…..best bet is to hit a 5 iron and a driver on a launch monitor to get a better handle on what clubs to buy. and what flex shafts to get.
a god loft for a hybrid is 26 degree
