Im thinking of getting a hybrid to replace my 3i just to give myself more playabillity from the rough. I hit my 3i well, about 205-215 from the deck, but the lie has to be perfect. I am not consistant with it from the rough and would like to add that 170-190 distance from the rough to my game. I usually hit my 4i or 5i and pray from that distance right now. Sometimes I get it, sometimes I dont.

I carry an 18 at the momment so im looking for a 21-22 degree. I know that loft probably overlaps my 4i but im looking for the playabillity, here. I prefer to hit a high cut with my cobra hybrid, if i can. Any recomendations?

I like my 20° Cobra hybrid. I hit it great out of the rough, mediocore off a good lie. But now I'm hitting the MP FLI-HI (21°) well off of a good lie. It's weird for me now. I used to hit my 4H well off of a good lie. *sigh* practice time.

Depending on your budget level, you might want to consider also looking at 4+. Nickent (and maybe other companies, too) does X+ hybrids that are between X and X-1 in loft.

While you hit the ball a bit further than I do, I will throw in my two cents by saying, like Shindig, I very much like all my Cobra Bafflers. I find them very easy to hit from almost any lie and I hit them more consistently than the equivalent wood or iron. Plus I can work the ball a bit with them and I say this about the regular Baffler DWS, not the Baffler Pro, which I see you use.

Hope this helps.

Yeah I would prefer to get another baffler just because im familar with the way it plays, Its my lay up club on long par 5's and my tee club for long par threes. But they dont make the loft I want. It would be either a 20, or a 23. The 20 wouldnt really cover the distance im looking for and the 23 would be too much of a gap. So I thought id ask around and see what other posters here think about their hybrids.

Just picked up a titliest 585h 21 degree w/ a v2 shaft after talking with my pro on the phone. He mentioned it is a hybrid I can grow with as I get better, so that is a plus as well. I hope it works out for me.

    • Attempting to lift. Any better?  
    • Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!
    • Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)
    • Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry
