I am in the market for a new 2-Hybrid, 17-19* loft, steel shaft. Have you used any of these, and what are your experiences with them?

I have a Cleveland halo 2i. I do like it but as it is a 2iron I hardly need to use it. The only time that i need it is into the wind when playing a low running shot or off the tee. For me it is the same as hitting a fairway wood.
Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose.

Go with the 2007 Burner, I just bought one 3 days ago and I love it. It's not steel shaft but it is very workable. I hit it from 210 yds out (it's a 4 iron hybrid) and I had to put a little cut on it to get around a patch of trees and I put it about 12 feet from the hole. If I may make a suggestion, don't get a steel shaft. To me it takes away all the feel and it feels like you are hitting a rock when you hit your ball.

Driver: G10 10.5 Stock Shaft
3 Wood: Taylormade r580XD
Irons: AP2 3-P, Project X 5.5
Wedges: Tour-W 52*, 56* SM, 60* SM
Putter: Studio Select Newport 1.5 34"Ball: ProV1 or ProV1xLow Score:74

I find a steel shaft gives a better feel and more feedback than a graphite shaft.

By the way I use a cleveland hibore, very nice and workable.

I have the fusion 2-H, I don't actually keep it in my bag as I use the 3-w, 3-h and 4-h. I figure the gap between my 3-w and 3-h is preferable than that between my pw and sw. I really like the club, has a great trajectory for into the wind. Hell if you want to buy mine I'm open to offers....

I bought the G10.

Were I going to go back and do it again.....I'd opt for steel shaft and maybe 2 degrees more loft.

The club is a gem, though.

Adams has the a3 os boxer hybrid which is 150 but the hybrid that everyone seems to like is the idea pro hybrid which is 200 some places. you might be able to get a deal some places.

I dont use hybrids but one of my friends used the Taylormade rescue TP and he loved it. Maybe its cause of his $300 matrix ozik atlus shaft. HAHA

I use the Adams Idea Pro with the VS proto 80 after reading the review here...
It's got the best looking face ( better than their new pro gold i think) & the shaft is a bomb !

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
