Ok, so a week ago, i picked up a 5 hybrid, since i had been thinking about it... mainly it was because my current set of iron's, i just dont hit the 5 iron and 6 iron that great ( Cobra LTDx One length )  

I have been playing 3 and 4 cleveland hybrids for a while now and liked them.     

But after hitting the 5 hybrid from Callaway, i was blown away at the distance i was getting and how easy it was to hit the ball.    I mean it literally feels like cheating lol.   

Well after buying a matching 3 and 4 hybrid off of Ebay, i was also looking for a 6 hybrid, and found one at the Golfing Store i visit on a regular basis... it literally was hiding in ( last one they had) plain sight and the guy helping me found it lol...   And no lie, the distance i get with those two clubs is laughable lol..   But i feel like it's going to fill in those gaps..   

Plus having the 3 and 4 hybrids will give me more distance when i was normally trying to use my 3 or 5 wood..    

So who else has used these and what are your thoughts?

Hybrids or this specific hybrid.  I have a 2 and 4 hybrid in the bag.  The 4 hybrid is a gamer for me since my next longest iron is a 6, which is seeing very little use these days.  In fact I mostly use it off the tee.  Off the fairway a 7 iron is generally the longest.  Anything more than that I tend to hit my 4 hybrid and modulate the distance.  My 2 hybrid needs more practice since it is more draw biased and tends to go too much left 🤐  But overall I really like hybrids

What's in the bag

  • Taylor Made r5 dual Draw 9.5* (stiff)
  • Cobra Baffler 4H (stiff)
  • Taylor Made RAC OS 6-9,P,S (regular)
  • Golden Bear LD5.0 60* (regular)
  • Aidia Z-009 Putter
  • Inesis Tour 900 golf ball

I have a 3H, 4H. The 3H is a Titleist Ti2 and the 4H is a PingG425. 5i is the longest iron I play. I use my hybrids all over the course as that’s where I hit my ball. Par 3’s that are just over 200yds I use my 3H. I have a 3W but I’m considering other options as I don’t seem to hit it any further than my 3H except if it’s teed up.

these two hybrids ( 5&6 )    I mean, i thought i hit my Cleveland 3&4 hybrid's decent.   But these Callaway's are unreal.   When I'm getting the same distance from using less club it literally has me giddy as can be.

Well when i get everything sometime this week, I'll have a 3,4,5,6 hybrid in Rogue ST Max OS,  i originally just had a 3 and 4 and then went 6 thru wedges in irons..  But rarely did i ever use my 6 iron, because i just never did seem to be able to hit it well.     I did ditch my 5 wood, since I rarely did use it.     Usually I only try to use my 3 wood when i'm teeing it up too, i'm just too hot n cold with it off the deck.

Over time I will invariably wind up getting more hybrids in my bag.  When I was younger I could hit my 3 iron consistently.  Now I can still hit it pure, but consistency is out the window.  That is why I start at a 6 iron only.  Eventually it will be 7 iron onwards and hybrids/woods longer than that.

    • Day 23: did the yardstick putting drill for a while. Checked set up in the mirror - need to get those hands more vertical. 
    • PGA didn’t make Scottie their golden boy. He made his self number one by beating everybody that showed up, including Rahm, Bryson and all the other ones that were with the PGA and left. PGA offered them a way back, Koepka took it and Reeds on his way back. 
    • Day 43 (20 Apr 26) - Day spent helping with golf team conference tournament, did get in some swings with the Pw after I got home.  
    • Day 12, April 20.  I spent the better part of an hour practicing various putting, primarily within 10'.   I finished with a 4' drill, the double around-the-world (eventually).  That is, set down 12 coins around the cup at 4', all face up.  Go around the clock.  Make the putt?  Turn the coin over (if it's heads-up) or pick it up (if tails up).  Count the total putts needed to sink all 24 (two from each station).  I took 48 total putts, not great, even given how bad my putting is, but is a wake-up call.  I hope to add to my schedule a lot more time to practice (period) and also putting.   For context, 37 total putts on this drill is about the 18 handicap baseline, and as someone aiming to get his handicap into the single digits in the coming months, making another 4' putt per round would go a decent way ... or even better, getting my 4' putt average under 65% (the bogey baseline).  It'd be great to even get up to 80% (scratch baseline) of course. Also, to clarify yesterday's comment, when I "went for it in two" on that par-5, the "it" I was going for in two was the green, not the boundary fence, despite where the ball ended up. 😕 
    • Day 243 4-20 wrist arch in downswing and some flow drills. Worked on some hip/chest sepeation in backswing. Used mirror and recorded. Foam balls.
