Hybrid inquiry

[jermzkill]

I'm looking to buy 2 hybrid clubs, one to replace my 3 iron and one to replace my 3 or 5 wood... I only want to spend $80 total for the 2 clubs. I was thinking of getting a TM Rescue Mid 2 16° or Nike Slingshot Tour 2 Hybrid/Utility 18° to replace my 3 and 4 irons... I'm not too sure about clubs to replace my woods though... Any suggestions on my tight budget limit?

The reason is because I find it fairly difficult to hit with the 3 and 4 iron, I had a really cheap catalyst hybrid i used to replace these. As for the 3 and 5, I am pretty inconsistent with these clubs and I figure a hybrid would help.

18* is more like a 2 iron replacement, you might want to go for a 21-23* hybrid for that. I recently replaced my 3 wood with a 16* hybrid. I do lose some distance but 250 yds in the trees is no good for anyone, 225 yds on the fairway is sooo much better for my score card. I would recommend the cleveland hibore, they are plentiful on ebay.

If you had to choose between those too I would go with the rescue mid. I would also suggest you maybe consider spending a little more on these clubs, becuase the older model hybrids were very inconsistant.

Thanks for your input. I was thinking of maybe just buying one club for $80 instead of two for $40 each, if I were to do that what club would you recommend? I basically want to use it in place of using a 3 iron or 3 wood. I don't mind buying used.

I was thinking maybe something with a 19 or 20 loft.

I have the Rescue Mid 3 and 4. They are about 10 yards longer than their named conventional iron counterparts. So, a 4 may serve as your conventional 3 iron and you can choke down to get the 4 iron distance. I have seen them on sale for 80-90 dollars. Used ones in places like Play it Again Sports sell them for about 30-50 dollars.

I purchased a Rescue Mid 4 on eBay to replace my 3 or 4 iron... What club could you guys recommend to replace my 3 or 5 wood?

Ive got a HALO 2i (19°) and its my fav club in the bag, a bit of distance loss from my old 3 wood but much more accurate, they go for about $50 - 60 give one a try.

A 2 hybrid but 5 woods are a lot easier to hit.
