I have removed the 3 iron from my bag and am looking to replace it with a hybrid. I am looking for a hybrid that looks more like an iron than a wood at address.

Anyone have a recommendation? I am leaning toward the Cobra or the Burner.

I recently did the same thing and replaced my 3 iron with a Nickent 3dx DC Ironwood. Very pleased with it. Great feel, workable yet forgiving, and a very reasonably priced on Ebay and other discount sites because the new 4dx from Nickent came out recently.

In The Bag:
905R UST V2 Stiff
906F2 UST V2 Stiff
3DX dc 17* Stiff
2300 IM 4-PW Stiff CG 12 Black Pearl 52*, 56*, 60* C67 Pro V1x

I prefer a more compact hybrid myself. Here are some possibilities for you to look at -- I've demo'd most of them and they are all good clubs, just depends exactly what you're looking for and what fits your game.


Tour Edge Mens Bazooka JMAX Iron-Woods

Adams Mens IDEA a2 Hybrid Utility Clubs

Adams Mens Tech OS Hybrid Woods

Adams Mens IDEA Pro Hybrid i-Woods

Nickent Mens 3DX DC Ironwoods

Titleist Mens PT 585-H Utility Woods

I build a lot of my own clubs and as soon as these heads are in stock I'll be building a set of them to replace my TaylorMade hybrids:

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
