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:

    • I’m really glad he won now! From Golf Digest  
    • It's really hard to argue against the Tiger Woods 2000 swing.  I like Rory's swing. And, I've always liked Joaquin Niemann's swing. Although, if I tried to mimic Niemann's swing I'd probably end up in traction for 2 months. I was kinda bummed when he went to LIV cuz I almost never see it anymore.  At the other extreme, I can't look at Bryson when he plays. Even if it's very effective, it's coyote-ugly to watch.  I'd rather watch Charles Barkley than Bryson. ....  
    • Thank you for that information,I would have loved to see him in person
    • I think he was always kind of like that - he hit it off the planet relatively frequently throughout his career. I saw him play a couple of times. One time at Walton Heath in the European Open. He was playing the 13th on the Old (dogleg right par 5) and his drive had gone through the fairway and found a patch of grass in the woods there to the left (the woods have now gone). He had an opening to play back to the fairway. Maybe 25 yards to reach the fairway and 65 yards to run through the other side. He was maybe 230 yards away from the green, but the trees made sure that was not a viable option (at least that's what I thought at the time). He pulled out a pretty long iron - probably a 3 and gave it a full blooded thrash. I watched this ball come out straight for about 40 yards and then it just turned hard left, but stayed in the air (still not sure how he did that). He started the ball at a point that must have been 100 yards right of the green and hooked it basically that whole 100 yards and the ball wound up on the front of the green.  Shotmaking he was pretty much peerless. Not sure his swing was ever technically solid. Flowing and fun to watch yes, but not one you'd want to copy.  As to the question, I have heard a few people suggest that Mickey Wright had the best swing ever. Frank Nobilo had a pretty sweet looking one. Bruce Lietzke's was pretty cool - he managed to maintain PGA Tour playing rights with basically little to no work on his game - got to be a lot said for that.
    • A lot of us on this forum are hyper competitive, we just know not to break things that don't belong to us! that is why I stated "a person with a poor attitude grows up with no consequences" it is not all entitlement.
