Just decided today that it's time to get the a top of the line hybrid club, either a 2 or a 3 and I know there are some companies who have gotten raves for their hybrids, but the names escape me.

What would you recommend in a hybrid club? Time to go ebaying!

Well, you might start with your signature. Each of the companies you list make superb hybrids.

I like Cobra. A fellow with your handicap might try the Cobra Baffler Pro or the Titleist 585H.

I ended up with a Callaway Fusion FT-Hybrid. The choice came down to the FT and the Titleist 585H. I loved both of them, but chose the Callaway because the local store had a great deal on them. If money wasn't an issue, I would have bought the 585H.

I've heard nothing but great things about this model.

I recently decided to try hybrids again and got Cleveland Halo 3 and 4 hybrids on closeout. They are an older model that has been replaced by the HiBore hybrids, but I like the Halos better. I've heard that the stock shaft isn't great, but it works for me.

Carl Spackler: This is a hybrid. This is a cross of Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. The amazing stuff...

try out the cleveland hibore XLS. At first i bought the 3i at 22*, but the ball was definitely sailing a bit too much. I traded it in for a 2i with a very stiff red shaft, all I can say is WOW. Very easy to hit, piercing ball flight, and very very straight hitting.

In my bag:

Driver: Hibore XL 9.5 Stiff Gold
Hybrid: 2i 19* Hibore XLS Hybrid Stiff Red
Irons: CG Gold Irons 4-SWPutter: Rossa Daytona 1Ball: NXT Tour

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
