So,
I've been on a hyrbid kick lately and really am liking them.
I have the older series Callaway 4h neutral that I really, really like. Got the Titleist 585h that is an amazing club, actually starting to like it better than the Cally I think.
This thread likely entails various ?'s.
I would like a 5 or 6 hybrid, Titelist doesn't make one, and Callaway only makes on with draw, not neutral. Swinging good I draw the ball, so the draw model is outta the ?.
Now I am considering Nickent, but no dealers around me carry them so I have no way to try w/o buying first. Sure I can score one use don ebay.

Do you think it is important that these clubs be the same, such as same maker, same shaft, etc? Or approach them more as we do our big woods?

To some degree, it makes a difference. If you have to line up or swig differently for each of hte clubs, then you ought to find the one you like best and get consistent with it. However, if you like how they all look and fly, then it doesn't matter.

Same thing goes for the shafts. If you like how they all feel (and launch) and dont have to compensate for one of them, then there is no need to get one type of hybrid all the way through.

Monster Tour 10.5* w/ Redboard 63

Idea Pro 18* w/ VS Proto 80s

If you can hit it, and you are confident with it, who cares? I favor the nickent 3dx ironwoods for my hybrids, but my bag is like a flea market. Ping Driver, Titleist 3W, Nickent Hybrids, Mizuno Irons...

I dont think it really matters whether or not they all match, as long as you are comfortable and confident hitting them.
Id suggest giving Adams a try too. It seems like they pretty much pioneered the hybrid market.
I wish Titleist made more hybrids too. Ive got a 19* and 22* 503H and they're awesome. So easy to hit out of any lie. I wish Titleist would have made a 16* and a 25*, that way I would have something to replace my 1-iron and 4-iron. Im not complaining though. My 3-wood is a 15* and I could also grip down on my 22* and its pretty close to being the same distance as a 4-iron.

I have tried most of what has been mentioned with the exception of the Nickent. I like the FT and 585 likely due to the head size and shape.
Yes. I could care less if my clubs match, was just unsure about the whole iron/hybrid replacement thing.

For those who have tried, actua; performance difference between 3dx and 4dx?

Scooter,
To me, it doesnt matter at all if they match. But I can tell you definately try the Nickent. Solid club. And of course, try the innovator of hybrids, ADAMS.

I'm really liking my SUMO 2 that I got at sports authority. It hits it straight and I can crush it both off the tee and off the deck. I'd check those out.

Thats personal taste. I did not care for their hybrids at all. I love the irons, but the hybrids were not my cup of tea. Much prefer the Adams or Nickent.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
