Hybrid selection

[Petden]

I managed to go out and play 2 rounds of golf last week, with my pops. I didnt have any clubs on me so I borrowed from a friend. The clubs that impressed me the most were the hybrids. They are some sort of callaway big bertha hybrids. Im not sure which model but they are less than 2 years old I believe and I just loved the feel and the playability of them.

I also found them to be quite compact at adress, which I liked, giving more of an iron feeling than a wood. I have looked at golftown and golfsmith and have not been able to find them. So I was wondering of other hybrids that arent large at adress and will play nicely. (Found the TM hybrids too large)

I have a 3 iron replacement(19*). It's a Adams Idea A3 Boxer. I really like it.When I hit it properly, it'll jump off the club and get out there about 215-220.Nice high ball flight. I am looking on eBay now to try and find the same one for a 4 iron replacement. Either that or a Nickent 4DX, I've read some good things about that club too.

Nickent and Adams are probably the smallest, and I have hit and like both of them. The Nickent 3DX, the Adams Idea Pro, and the Adams Boxer are all nice hybrids.

I think you are reffering to the Big Bertha Heavenwood, which is actually closer to 4 years old, but fits that description almost perfectly otherwise.

I thought that too but I dont remember seeing heavenwood on the bottom, however I did some more research and I think you are right. They were so long, I was able to hit over 240yards on a clean struck shot.

How are the fusion hybrids, and the diablo hybrids in comparison to the Heavenwood?

The Adams Pro hybrids are smallish and set up nicely like an iron with a square toe.
They also feel fantastic.

Which are the best, performance wise?

I like my Nickent 3DX RC. Compact at address too.

I had a PING G10 hybrid that just didn't work well for me....I wanted to like it...but I didn't do so well with it.

I wound up trading it for another stick.


A few months later on I'm playing a round with some folks...one of them is puring his hybrids...yet he wasn't hitting that great of iron shots. He was floating nice high shots from 170-200 yards like it was nothing with these hybrids. I complemented him on the shots at the end of the round. We were walking off the 18th green when I did so......he pointed to the adjacent driving range at our club and said c'mon....let's walk over there and you can hit them.

I was sold right away....the ball just jumps up and floats out there like nothing I've ever hit (I'm a low ball hitter). He said that he thought NIKE was gonna be replacing them soon with something from the DYMO series.

I wound up ordering the 4 hybrid and gaming it.....loved it so much that I also ordered the 3 hybrid. They are the two in my sig line. I'm still waiting for the 3....called and check yesterday...still not here.

That's the thing with me, somewhat. The irons that I can hit are extremely long, but my 3 and 4 irons are just too inconsistant. Sometimes they will be going 170yards, other times they will fly past 230.

The hybrid I was uisng was super solid and much more consistant. I knew more or less my shots would travel out to 220-230. Also the feeling/confidence that swinging a hybrid produces is, IMO, similar to the feeling/confidence of swinging a short iron.

I used to be so against hybrids, now, I am ready to advertise them to anyone.
