I second that.

I have a 3DX DC 3h and a 3DX RC 4h and they are awesome. Took a while for me to learn how to hit them well but I love them now. Really solid feeling clubs.

Fairways and Hybrids are the toughest decisions in my bag.

I've had success with the Bobby Jones Workshop in 25 and 30. Any lower in loft and that club is just too small at a longer length for me. Also, with all of the adjustable clubs out there, I think one ought to give those a try -- the more you can fiddle with the most troublesome clubs in the bag, the better.

Recently, I added a Titleist 910H in 27 deg - it's a nice club - I have the weight kit and changed the bottom weight to a slightly heavier weight. I like the feel -- it is more of a metallic tink like the Bobby Jones - which I like ... a lot. So I'm thinking of a 24 to adjust to 23, and changing the 27 to a 28 - and adjust from there.

I would say - Demo - get in a LM and/or range that has demos and go after it.

Mr. Desmond, when you picked up your 910, did you by chance try the910F-d? i've been pondering this as i like the deeper face...can't seem to find a shop around that has it (i've tried 2 different golf galaxy's).

The only hybrid I have liked as well as my Nickent 4Dx is Sonartec.  You can used on e-bay as they no longer are making Sonartec.,but they have in Japan and coming to USA-Royal Collection...http://www.rc-golf.com/main/

Compared the 909H to the F in 21 and a 909 in 18(?) maybe on the launch monitor?

Ended up going for the 909H 21, but regret not getting that deeper face.

Because when Im tired or falling apart, it’s hard to tag that ball!

If I’m swinging hard, strong and accurate, damn, it is  a sweet club.

******** has many used ones for about 70 bucks and the 910s are about 100, depending on condition.

I play hybrids 4-6 irons, and it has really helped my game.  I used to use the cobra rail-h hybrids, which were OK, but lofted way too strong (4 iron 21*?) to be good - they didn't fit with my iron set.

 

Anyway, give the Razr X hybrids a try.  Another really plus is price - you can get them on callway preowned (and know they arn't counterfeit or damaged) for about $55 in average condition.  Mine were $61 in average condition and play and look great for that price.

+1

I've had 3 different hybrids and my current one is a Callaway RazrX 3h (21 deg).   I absolutely love it!   It does get the ball in the air real easy and the distance is very long compared to it's predecessors.   

I've heard good things about the Adams hybrids but haven't hit one.   

I would contact the manufacturers and see if they will do a metal shaft as an upgrade. I checked the Titleist and Adams sites, and they didn't offer any metal shafts as custom options.

Wet Doggg has plenty of company in swinging hybrids either built or refitted with metal shafts.

Did not see this at the time.

Answer: No, I don't have the swing speed to get that deep face in the air except off the tee. :-)

I've tried many hybrids over the years, including Nickent, Callaway, and TM, but nothing beats my present Adams Idea Tech V3 #3 and #4 Hybrids....love them.
