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.

    • Question on realistic expectations.  I did a couple of quick google searches, one on "Average Club Head Speed of a 64 year old Amatuer" and one on a 64 year old Professional.  For the amatuer is indicated between 75-85 and for pros @ 105-112.  I am currently @ age 64, High HCP and @ 90mph.  I do not consider myself an above average golfer so I am a little shocked that I may be near the upper range for my age.  Are these stats accurate? I am hoping to get an increase in speed & distance, but if stats from Google are correct I am already a little above average for an amatuer my age so maybe improvement may be limited.  I plan to shoot for as much improvement as possible and am just curious what a reasonal expectation may be.
    • Where do you tend to miss it? When the green is below you, the ball is spending more time in the air, so to the extent that side spin is making it move one way or the other, it has more time to do that and therefore will be affected more. That's why it's so dang hard to hit a fairway that's a long way below you. When the ground gets in the way it stops the slice/hook spin from moving the ball away from the middle. If you play, let's say, a fade, then you want to aim further to the left to allow the fade to move the ball further. That also means if you play for a fade and don't hit a fade you're going to miss by more than you would if the green was at the same level.  I think the person who brought this up is trying to limit the impact of that by hitting it lower so the ball doesn't spend as much time in the air. If that's not how you normally hit it and you haven't practiced it, then it's likely going to be more detrimental than just figuring out how to deal with your normal shot.
