I've been playing for a couple years now and until recently was hitting my irons pretty well.  I upgraded my starter box set to Ping G5 irons which I just sold today.  The reason I sold them was ever since I was given a 5 hybrid......I cannot hit my irons anymore.  I shank nearly every shot with my irons.  It frustrates the heck out of me.

My thought was to buy a hybrid set.  My current clubs are:

TM burner superfast driver - 10.5 degree - stiff

Nike sasquatch 3 w - 15 degree - stiff

TM burner 08 3 hybrid - 19 degree - stiff

TM burner 08 5 hybrid - 25 degree - stiff

Ping G5  U (gap) wedge  - 50 degree (i kept this when I sold the 4-pw)

Wilson Sand Wedge - 55 degree

TM Rossa putter

I'm thinking I'd like the Adams 6 and 7 hybrid irons due to their bulk

but i'm attracted to the taylormade set as well - it's $13 cheaper (not a big deal but it's there) and my entire set would match, less my 3 wood and sand wedge

Thing is.....the reason I sold my irons was to get something easier to hit.   I know the G5's were great clubs......but I just lost my consistency for them.

Has anyone ever hit a 6 or 7 hybrid?  Are they much different than the cavity back irons?

I'm going to go to golfsmith to check out the differences for myself......but in the mean time I'm online doing research......any help would be greatly appreciated.  Recommendations?  if you were in my shoes, what would you do?

in my bag right now -- working on upgrading

G5 10.5* driver
Sumo2 15* 3wood
everything else - XL series ($199 set)next step is a putter..........then irons

I play the Nike sumo2 set from a few years ago which are 5-7 hybrid 8-Sw irons. Personally although I hit the hybrids ok I actually prefer a more normal iron set and are looking to replace them. I even will borrow one of my other lefty friends 6 or 7 iron in some situations just to avoid hitting the hybrids from certain lies. It's not that they're bad though.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
