Didn't I read somewhere that they would post new yardages so our guys wouldn't have to? Have they released them yet?

Yes they said they would, but I hope they never do. Do your own work everyone. It's not that hard. Not aimed at you specifically billybudd0623 |

It is hard when you work 55-6o hrs a week so I disagree.

I guess my 41 hours a week leaves me all the time in the world.

I guess my 41 hours a week leaves me all the time in the world. Pffft!  I get anywhere between 12-15 hours a day 5 days a week and don't care about it at all!  I'm with you, Mr. Bob...it's pretty simple to get done and requires hardly any time to do so.  Edit: I'm at "work" that many hours a day, but I don't do sh%$. |

Personally I wish they would just get on with it if they are going to do it.
Don't much care either way - my only problem with working it out for myself is that I have not yet figured out how to set zero wind on the range.
Tried to make myself a range in the designer but got so caught up in details that I could not work out the big picture so if anyone knows of a driving range with the wind adjustable for practise purposes & working out average yardage please post the course name so I can go try it?

So what will be everyone's tactic for playing long par 3's?
It appears the difference of full loft vs standard for hybrids is almost nil.
That, and the fact that we are now forced to carry four wedges, will you try for 95% shots, slow backswings, change up your bag or something else?

If you make your own (Make a tee box just barely above the ground) hole in the designer, I recommend just making it a bunch of water out from just beyond the tee box all the way out to 330 yards and the hole elsewhere beyond that. That way you can get carry only distances 100% accurate. Not only that, you can rehit your tee shot ad nauseum.
Playing a course someone else made you can't go back over and over again to the tee box.

Technically not forced to carry four wedges, but I get your point.
I have gaps at the top end and just accept that I will be short or long. Draws or fades into the wind do knock off a slight bit of yardage. I am guessing that 90 and 05% swings will become a thing for a few, but also the deliberate F/F swing to add distance will also become a thing.

It took me 20 mins, you only need wedges and up to 6 iron (since loft makes no difference to distances with longer clubs), so if you have time to play a round you have time to chart lofts. I'd personally never trust anybody else's chart anyway, how they measure is not going to be the same as me. |

I've fortunately had a ton of practice in tempo and backswing distance manipulation through my no loft box society, so this has been my approach now that I have to use a gap wedge again. I can cover every distance I used to, just not with the same precision, which is how it should be to be fair. |

Not being able to hit Perfect Perfect on every swing, making charts is not as easy as some of you make it out to be.
I actually have more bad swings once I use the loft box.
I also think we won't get charts until HB has the server side of things sorted out.

I also think we won't get charts until HB has the server side of things sorted out. I had to repeat maybe 3-4 swings due to bad tempos when I was charting, but even if it's 10 swings it still won't take anybody more than 30 mins max. I just charted 2 distances in between each club for full shots, plus pitches. You don't need any more detail than that, especially now that loft has been massively reduced. It's childsplay and takes no time at all, and more importantly the distances will be ingrained in your mind through your own input and sense data, whereas you can never be sure with someone else's charts. I've seen other charts and thought "nope that's wrong", but maybe in their mind they were looking at something differently so it works for them, but obviously I can't trust it unless I've done it myself. Also, HB said the charts they will provide is purely for the absolute maximums, so you can see the range for each club. That is worse than useless practically speaking, because nobody with any sense is going to max loft, given how much it reduces the cone, |

I am pretty comfortable leaving it 20ft below the hole and trying to make a putt.
Most of the fancy stuff others have mentioned is way more likely to get me into trouble
