Well..............I did it !!!

The Cleveland Tour Van was in Long Beach, CA this weekend and I stopped by JUST TO LOOK at the new Hibore Hybrid Irons. I had been looking at the Adams Idea line but wanted to wait till these new Hibores came out. WOW !!! They were SOOOO easy to hit I couldn't believe it! I wanted to make SURE I liked them so I spent almost an hour hitting them.

A guy named "Simon" from the Cleveland staff was MOST helpfull. He took his time answering all my questions and letting me hit all the different shaft combinations. I told him the only thing that concerned me was that we were hitting off mats, and I wondered how they would feel off of grass? He smiled and said "let's go find out!". He grabbed a bucket of balls and some clubs and walked me down to the end of the driving range to a patch of grass and I hit away!

They were $699 for 3-PW in a graphite shaft, but they were giving a 10% discount on "Demo-Day" so they took $70 right off the price. I took them and went and played 9 holes at my club, then played 18 yesterday. I LOVE these things! Yeah, when you first pick them up they look wide-soled, but that's the beauty of the hybrid design. I am COMPLETELY happy with these!!!

Hello Mav, In my previous posts on hybrid woods I mentioned the longest club in my bag was a 7 iron, and I carried 4 hybrid woods.....and loved 'em. .....BUT, once I hit these new hybrid irons that all changed! These are SOO easy to hit it is unreal. As far as your question regarding "higher flight" let me say this...because of the "progressive" widening of the sole as the irons get longer I can definately say my 3 & 4 irons definately have a higher trajectory which really worked great as my shots to the green were dropping in soft and STICKING, not skipping of the green from too shallow of an approach angle....and my distance actually INCREASED! The clubs are extremely light, so don't let the photos fool you. If you look at http://www.hibore.com/ you will get a real good look at the make-up of these irons. If you get a chance to demo these (outdoors on a range, not inside) I think everyone would be surprised how nice they are!!!

I've now got 8 rounds in with these new clubs and love 'em more each day! I know with all the talk about the new square-headed drivers many say they wouldn't touch 'em because they look strange....and I imagine that will be the case with these irons....but I think if you just give a demo you might just be pleasantly surprised!

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
    • Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
