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 4 (24 Jun 26) - Played the mid-week shootout - iffy day on putts as I had 35 and of late been in the upper 20's.   Greens recently verti-cut and they are a bit bump and long haired - no excuses as I need to learn to trust making the proper adjustments.   Overall a decent day with some solid long game shots.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
