Hybrid question...

[shankapotamus]

Ok, so I hit my 3 wood quite bad. I am a pretty small guy, so I think it might be the length. If I got a low lofted hybrid, would I still not be able to hit it that well because of the loft, or would it be easier because it's shorter?

tried choking up on the 3 wood?

[shankapotamus]

Yeah, I hit it a little bit better, about 20% better. But, my bad shots seem to be even worse <.<

Um, it depends? You swing the hybrid like an iron, 3 wood more a sweeping motion. So I guess it depends on well you hit your irons.

Also, most hybrids are 40" or so, where 3 woods can range from 40"-45" so it should, in theory, be shorter.

If you like your 3 wood though, maybe just get that shortened?

[shankapotamus]

Yeah, I am thinking about which one would be better. I think I might get a hybrid because I hit my irons/hybrids pretty good already.

Like said, if you hit your irons well, go with a lower lofted hybrid.

Go get the 3 wood cut down...Fairly inexpensive thing to do. With a new grip and everything it should be about 15 bucks at most.

I got mine cut down an inch, and wow, what a difference. Much, much more control and really didn't sacrifice much distance, maybe 5 yards at the most.

All three are cut down:
My driver (-1.5")
My 3 wood (-1")
and My 19* hybrid (-1")

Really, really helped me a lot as I'm pretty short (5'7").
