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.

    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
