In the market for a new hybrid.  I have been playing a cheap knock-off for about 5 years that I want to replace, and I think its time for some new technology, not to mention a better fit.  My current lofts:

Driver - 10*

3wd - 15*

Hybrid - 19* (to be replaced)

3 Iron - 21*

Seems like the solution would be to go with a 18* hybrid, which would evenly space out my gaps, esp for long fairway shots and long par 3s.  I would prefer a hybrid from Callaway, Titleist, Ping, Cleveland or Srixon.  I am not against a used club, as my budget is $50-$100.  Here are some I am considering:

Cleveland 09 Launcher, w/ Fuji Fit-On (new) : $59.95

Callaway Big Bertha Diablo, w/ stock graphite (like new): $89.99

Srixon AD, w/ Graphite Design YS (used): $39.99

Thoughts?

Srixon, no real reason except I almost bought one today and have never seen anyone play with one. Wow terrible golf purchasing advise. Sorry

Is there a gap to fill? Seems pretty tight to squeeze another hybrid in. A gap wedge may be a better addition? That said I was commenting that I love my Exotics hybrid. I told my buddy it feels like it hits itself.

Yeah, I've never seen the Srixon in real life, but I like their products.  This one has prob the best shaft of the three though, and its the cheapest.  Decisions, decisions.

The Adams Super Black hybrid is worth a look. I like those and the titleist 909h. The super black is really long long, so you would want to hit first. I would bet the 21 degree would be best. I replace my 3 wood with the 15 degree and bag another in 19 degree. Super happy with them.

How about the Callaway FT Hybrid?  Any feedback on this club?  I can get one (used, 8 out of 10) with a Fuji Fit-On M for $50.

I have not used any of those you listed but if you can try a Titleist 909H it is is worth a look. I have the 24 degree, it works well for me. I did own the Adams Super Black hybrid (19 degree) referenced above by "ratherBgolfing" and did not like it at all, the 909H was longer and more consistent IMO.

Add me to the list of those who like the Titleist 909H.  It replaced a Taylormade rescue and I really like it.

Well, I ended up with the Callaway FT 08 Hybrid - 18* - Fujikura Fit-On M Stiff.  Snagged it on the bay for $51.  Seller claims 8 out of 10 condition.  Can't wait to get it!!
