I want to know how many hybrids you carry and why? I am debating whether or not to dump the 5-iron. I hit it weak off of the fairway and find it really inconsistent. I just reshafted my hybrid with a steel shaft and am still waiting on a verdict. I like it so far, but it waits to be seen. Any thoughts or comments will be interesting. Thanks

3 and 4 hybrids. I took out my 5 wood.

None. I am learning, so I think that if I learn to hit my long irons, I will be able to hit hybrids in the future, when I start worrying about my handicap instead of my fat shots .

Two currently.... TM Rescue 4 (22°) and 5 (25°). I have a 4W instead of the 18° hybrid that I used to carry.

I'm now up to 4... 18* (2), 21* (3), 24* (4), and for my upcoming 50th birthday, a 27* (5). I'll get a 30* (6) when I turn 60 ;). I carry GW, SW, and LW too, so I'm playing now w/o a fairway wood. 18* hybrid goes pretty far.

I have a total of 3, but usually only have the 3H and 4H in the bag along with my irons staritng with the 4. I hit the 3 and 4 hybrids well and hit the 4H better and farther than my 3 iron. Based on that, I tried a 2 hybrid, but I don't hit is as consistent or any farther than the 3 hybrid.

I carry one, an Adams Boxer Pro Hybrid, 3 iron replacement. I can hit my long irons but the hybrid is more versatile than the 3 iron. I don't have room for any more lower lofted hybrids since I carry 4 wedges and like to carry a 3 wood for par fives and tight driving holes.

I carry 4 Hybrids. They fill the gap between my 6 Iron and the driver. I carry no fairway woods. I can hit my 16° 2h just as far and significantly straighter than I can hit the 3-wood.

I carry a 17* in place of a 5 wood and recently added a 20* and pulled the 3i. I can hit the 3 iron fine, but the 20* flies a bit higher and fills the gap better between my 4i and 17*.

I started with a 17* and a 21*, then a 16* and 19*, moving on to 19*, 22* and 25*.

Finally I settled for just one (see sig)

    • They sure do. 158 with an 8 iron is on the high end for me
    • Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
