By today's market, is there really a difference between these clubs? If there is, I'll look into a 15 Nike Sumo 1H to replace my 12.5 Adams on courses that don't require the extra 25 of roll I get. I don't know what I was thinking when I bought a 12.5, I drive far enough that the Par 5s I could use this on would have to be around 550 or so for me to be comfortable with hitting this as a second shot. I wanted to get this as a second driver, but the head is waaaaay to small for me to get comfortable with this off of the tee. So would learning to hit a 1H be hard, or simple since it's a Hybrid. My dad told me it'll be hard, but I think since it's a hybrid, I should be able to do it, since he's used to the traditional 1i playability.

I picked up a Baffler DWS 16 degree and pulled the 3w out. I am still getting the feel of the club, but the beauty of it is that I can hit it under more conditions. I may lose some yards, but it adds more choices for me. It actually replaces a 3w & 5w, letting me put a Niblick -- cheater club(lol) - in the bag.

I bought a Nickent 1iH and hit it very well. I used it off the tee box for accuracy. I don't hit it quite as far as the 3w because of the shaft length in the two. It wasn't hard to hit at all, IMO...IMO. With that being said, I have gone back to my 3w because it seemed that I wasn't hitting many par 5s in two any more. So I put my 3w back in the bag to get back on those par 5s. Plus I like the extra distance off the tee with the 3w as I use it much more off the tee than my driver.

Even if it's the same loft, a hybrid isn't gonna have as long of a shaft and thus it will be 1. more accurate and 2. not as long

I thought 2h (17°) was the lowest hybrid available from Nike. A Nike Sumo 1h? That's news to me.

I doubt that I'll ever go back to the fairway wood. I love the trajectory of my hybrid compared to a 5 wood that I own. Lot higher. I'm traditionally a low-ball type of player, so I like having the most help I can get to hit it higher and land it softer.
