Thinking of moving my Hogan Hybrid to the closet. It doesn't perform as I would like out of the secondary (shorter) rough. It's good off the tee and fairway and first cut, but so is my driver. I want something i can get in the air that i can shape and land softly on the green. I have a fairly high trajectory with my long irons and fairway wood. Would like the same from my hybrid. Tried putting lead tape to raise the trajectory, still not satisfactory so I'm in the market. Any suggestions?

look at the hybrids from gigagolf, their pretty cheap, and they have a 30 day play gurantee, so if you dont like it you can send it back for a full refund as long as its had normal play and no abuse.. but trust me, you wont be disappointed.

I have tried most hybrids, and the one that stood out for me was the Cobra Baffler DWS. His is a 2- or 3-year old club, so you can get them fairly cheap from eBay. I had the new Cobra TWS for awhile, and fount it was no better than the DWS. So now I play with 2 Cobra DWS hybrids - a 4 (20-degrees) and a 3 (26-degrees). I love them both! They have a nice high ball flight, so that they sit down nicely on greens on longer approach shots. By the way, the 'DWS' refers to double weighting on eht back side, and the "TWS' is triple weighing.
Good luck.

I really like my Wilson Fybrids, which can be had for <$50 brand new from Rockbottom and other sites. Very neutral at setup so more workable; i hit a pretty low ball normally but the Fybrids have a higher trajectory for me. Quality components (stock shaft is UST V2, grip is Golf Pride) as well. At that price you almost can't lose even if you end up not liking it.

Test hit different varieties. If you tend to draw the ball, I would try a pro model with a square face. Other posters have complained about some hybrids being a hook machine , and I think face angle might be at play here.

Focus, connect and follow through!

Try hitting the Adams A7 hybrid. Of course you will need to decide on the 19* or 22*. I started with the 19* and just added the 22* in place of my 4 iron.

I have played the Hogan CFT Ti and the Callaway X series. I still like the old Heavenwood series better.

The ball seems to explode off the club for me compared to playing the other hybrids. Seeing how this model is from about 05-06 era, you could either try buying it from Callaway Preowned, or the new Diablo looks inviting. Comparing to the HW , it looks like it has a larger face. Some of the higher HCP players might like that. Thinking about trying one myself later this year.

I just went through this same dilemma. I have a Cobra DWS 4 Hybrid that I love. I went to the shop to try to find a TWS on sale and did. I hit it but felt like comparing it to something else. I hit the Adams A7 OS and a Ping Rapture. I absolutely LOVED the rapture. I went in set on buying the TWS as that was most similar to what I had but couldn't pass up the Rapture after hitting both. YMMV but i think you have to hit them to tell the difference.

I've been playing the Titleist 909H, 21 degree, Diamana shaft this year and absolutely love it. The ball gets up quickly and levels off, no balooning. It has a nice feel at impact and cuts through the rough pretty well.

My league partner has the TM Raylor which he loves. He hits it well from the rough and fairway. The only thing I noticed is that he has a draw to serious hook most of the time while he hits a slight fade with most of his other clubs.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Last year I made an excel that can easily measure with my own SG data the average score for each club of the tee. Even the difference in score if you aim more left or right with the same club. I like it because it can be tweaked to account for different kind of rough, trees, hazards, greens etc.     As an example, On Par 5's that you have fescue on both sides were you can count them as a water hazard (penalty or punch out sideways), unless 3 wood or hybrid lands in a wider area between the fescue you should always hit driver. With a shorter club you are going to hit a couple less balls in the fescue than driver but you are not going to offset the fact that 100% of the shots are going to be played 30 or more yards longer. Here is a 560 par 5. Driver distance 280 yards total, 3 wood 250, hybrid 220. Distance between fescue is 30 yards (pretty tight). Dispersion for Driver is 62 yards. 56 for 3 wood and 49 for hybrid. Aiming of course at the middle of the fairway (20 yards wide) with driver you are going to hit 34% of balls on the fescue (17% left/17% right). 48% to the fairway and the rest to the rough.  The average score is going to be around 5.14. Looking at the result with 3 wood and hybrid you are going to hit less balls in the fescue but because of having longer 2nd shots you are going to score slightly worst. 5.17 and 5.25 respectively.    Things changes when the fescue is taller and you are probably going to loose the ball so changing the penalty of hitting there playing a 3 wood or hybrid gives a better score in the hole.  Off course 30 yards between penalty hazards is way to small. You normally have 60 or more, in that cases the score is going to be more close to 5 and been the Driver the weapon of choice.  The point is to see that no matter how tight the hole is, depending on the hole sometimes Driver is the play and sometimes 6 irons is the play. Is easy to see that on easy holes, but holes like this:  you need to crunch the numbers to find the best strategy.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      Very much so. I think the intimidation factor that a lot of people feel playing against someone who's actually very good is significant. I know that Winged Foot pride themselves on the strength of the club. I think they have something like 40-50 players who are plus something. Club championships there are pretty competitive. Can't imagine Oakmont isn't similar. The more I think about this, the more likely it seems that this club is legit. Winning also breeds confidence and I'm sure the other clubs when they play this one are expecting to lose - that can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

      Ah ok I misunderstood. But you did bring to light an oversight on my part.
