We had a demo day in the area not too long ago and I hit the Ping G-10, Titleist 909H, and TM Burner Rescue. I couldn't tell one bit of difference between any of them. Maybe they all just play the same for me. Very easy clubs to hit. My local shop has an older model I can pick up around cost so I will probably get that one to save some money. I am pretty sure it won't be much different than the others.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

A few weeks ago, I stopped in at dick's on a whim and hit all the hybrids they had in stock in the 18/19* range. I wasn't suprised that the one I liked the best was the Adams, but I was surprised to see how much I liked the Acuity hybrid-this being my first go with a hybrid (and not sure how much I needed the club in my bag), I decided that a $25 experiment made a lot more sense than a $60 experiment. I've played around 72 holes with it since, and I couldn't be happier. It tends to balloon a little bit if I have a fluffy lie and catch it high on the face, and sometimes the Uni-Flex feels a bit soft, but its straight, and the 18* is a perfect fit between my 3 iron and 3 wood.

Check out the new mizuno mx 700 hybrid. I was orginally planning on not having a three iron is using the mx 700 as its replacement. When I first tried the mx 700 I flew over 30 yards longer than my three iron. It is ideal if you want some slight workability. I would compare to the tour edge exotics hybrids but its only $200 instead of $350

I use the TM Burner Rescue - the original one. I use it because it's extremely easy to hit, hits it straight, and hits it long.

I have yet to hear one negative thing about this hybrid and am looking forward to testing it out and possibly buying it.

I have a Tour-Edge # 3 Hybrid that I use from time to time. I really have to watch out for a big draw bordering on a hook when I play it. I believe that the face is biased for a draw. I didn't know that when I bought it on the internet but the price was outstanding. A friend said that most hybrids are draw biased except the Adams. Not sure if this is true or not.

I'm down to a 10 handicap. At this rate, I'll get to scratch at 90 years old!

It's a really nice club; I don't think you will be disappointed.

The newer Callaway FT is perfect for me. It's nice and small, the right shape to hit out of any lie, and the shaft it is matched with lowers the trajectory significantly. Plus it is really good looking. Two of the other ones I tried that I really liked were the Titleist 585h and the Adams Idea Pro.

I got a Tour Edge GeoMax 19* hybrid because it looked a little closer to a 5 wood that I was using it to replace. It sets up more like a wood than an iron replacement club.

I play the titleist 909h as a 3 iron replacement. Despite being a titleist club, it's very easy to hit. I had a tendency to snap hook a lot of the other manufacturers I tried.

Ditto and I'm not gonna lie I kinda chose it for the Titleist name, too.

I can't stand any leftward bias in my clubs.

i bought the Nickent 5DX because its the longest, straightest most forgiving hybrid i ever hit. i used to have the Callaway FT hybrids (Neutral) but they were hook machines. The Nickents will stay in my bag for a loooong time

The callaway heavenwood 4H. Very long, very workable, even for a high handicapper like me. Not to mention the heavenwood will be very light on the bank.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.
