Looking for a high loft Hybrid

I was wondering if any of you know of some high loft hybrid/utility clubs? The highest I have found so far is a 30 degree hybrid (it's a Precept ECU 30*). I bought this club last week and I love it. It has replaced my 4 and 5 irons. I was just wondering if anyone here knows of a hybrid with a higher loft than 30? To replace either a 6 or 7 iron.

Thanks a lot!

I think Adams Golf and Nickent both sell full sets of hybrid-irons. I've seen an Adams set with a pitching wedge that looks like a hybrid.

Callaway goes up to a 7 Hybrid and Tour Edge has their Iron-Woods all the way to a lob wedge.

Thanks for the replies those Tour Edge Iron-Woods look interesting. Anyone have any experience with them?

Also does anyone have any other suggestions?

I play the tour edge 4hybrid. I definitely hit it farther than my old 4 iron, especially out of the rough. I do have to be careful at address it is kind of easy to set the club so that it is delofted or closed.

Re: Looking for a high loft Hybrid

.... I switched to Tour Edge about a year ago .... and I've been extemely happy with them ....

I started with the 4 hybrid with a test romp from a little store called "Second Swing", and I had a chance to play 3 courses with it and loved it .. then bought a new 21*, then the 24*, etc, etc, etc --- as you can see from below ...

High loft..? .. the 41* 9 and the 51* Attack Wedge are both a killer .... you can drop an olive in a Martini glass from 125 yards out ... "especially" good if you play courses with hills and big slopes .. deep rough.? No problemo ..



whats in the bag.??

Driver: Tour Edge Jmax 460 Carbon with the Fuji Vista Pro 50 shaft.
Woods: only one left after switching to hybrids - Adams ST #7 22*.
Hybrids: Tour Edge 21*, 24*, 30*, 41* and the 50* Attack Wedge with the Fuji graphite R shafts.
Wedges: Warrior 56*, 60*, 64* with the Harrison Shafts.
Putter: Ping Anser 2F.
balls: Dunlop Super Loco, Maxfli Noodles - or any "good" ball when it goes on sale ...



Home course: Grey Hawk.
travel course: Tobacco Road (Pinehurst).

Re: Looking for a high loft Hybrid

at the risk of sounding like the infomercial, I LOVE my perfect club. From 150 - 180, it is my go to club, period. Hard to hit it badly, feels great on 99% of my hits. 21 degrees and I think a 41" shaft? Got it for $70 w/ graphite at Dick's - it hasn't left my bag in over a year. Best money ever spent on a club for me. Even if I can't hit anything else straight, I know I can always go to it in the clutch and nail a shot. :) They do offer the 24 degree Perfect Accuracy for more loft. You can also putt it like a 7 iron out of the rough and it'll plunk it dead straight with (sorry) perfect roll and release to the hole. Saved my bacon and made me some $$ on the backside of a Nassau!
