Which hybrid (No./Loft) do I need to hit 175-190 yards? any hybrid recommendation?

FYI, I hit my 5 iron about 165 yards, which is the longest iron in my bag.

since everyone is different I would suggest demoing a few different lofts and a few different models to see what fits you and your swing..


goodluck

175-190 will likely cover two clubs for you...a hybrid equivalent of the 5 iron will be 25 degrees or so...a 22 degree +/- hybrid should net you 175-180ish, and a 19 degree +/- should get you 190. you may also want to try a 7 wood.

These numbers apply to me fairly closely at the moment. I hit my 5 iron 160-165, my 21deg hybrid 170-180 and my 18 deg hybrid 190-200. The longest iron that I carry is a 4, which I hardly ever use, and I haven't quite figured out which of the hybrids to bring along - or maybe both. As you see I am still somewhat confused, but this will pass.

If I ever make a really full shoulder turn, my numbers should go up by 5 or 10%. But I'm not quite ready to focus on that yet.

How's the 21* Tour Edge Hybrid? Do you like it?

It took some getting used to, it seemed rather bulky somehow to start with, but I'm fairly consistent with it now and the distance/trajectory seems to fit the bill better than the Nike 18deg. (which may be too close to my 5W). When I hit the 18 cleanly I get a nice little draw and very good distance - too good sometimes. But I'm still somewhat confused and unsure of the exact relative distances. I should just go out on the range and do nothing but work on 5W, the two hybrids and the longer irons. Then I should have more confidence in club selection with the longer approach shots.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf. 
    • They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
    • to confirm, I'll need a hotel for Friday and Saturday, planning to share with you
