Hello everyone.

I am looking at replacing my 3-iron with a hybrid for shots from the rough. Is it better to have graphite or steel? I would think that steel would be better for rough shots due to the increased weight, but I have also heard that some hybrids are designed with graphite in mind and that steel is simply a cost-saving alternative. Any opinions?

In my bag:

Driver: HiBore XL
3-Wood: Insight BUL
5-Wood: Insight BUL

4-Hybrid: Taylormade Burner Rescue

Irons: Big Bertha 2006, 5-PW

GW: CG11 50*

SW: CG11 54* (bent to 55*)

LW: CG11 60*

Putter: Odyssey D.A.R.T White Ice

I personally like the graphite better than the steel. I had a steel hybrid once and it felt like it was bending all over the place. Just my opinion.

I've got two hybrids and I replaced both of the graphite shafts with steel shafts. I would never put graphite shafts on my irons and I think the swing on a hybrid is similar to that of an iron.

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
