Which hybrid to buy?

[kleraudio]

Im looking to replace my 3 iron with a hybrid, something Im confident in hitting off the fairway, as well as the rough.

I dont have much money, and used is definitely an option!

With that in mind, what do you think would be the best club for the money?

How much are you looking to spend? TGW has the Adams Idea Pro for $99.

Since you asked about a good price I am gonna tell you I have purchased 4,5 in "cheaper" brands (tiger shark, bazooka) and have way improved my bag. Same handicap as you. Guess I would look for the heal toe weighting if possible.

there is only one hybrid ive ever even considered putting in my bag and its the bobby jones hybrid

How else are they weighted besided heel-toe?

I was looking to get a used one for like 40 bucks maybe... if thats possible??

Thanks!

speaking of knockoffs, how do they compare to the real deal? Are they worth it?

Thanks!

I play Mizuno CLK Hi-Fli in 20 and 23*. They get through Bermuda rough that no iron could work with, they are playable out of fairway bunkers as well, and they work off the tee on days when the swing is crap. Best part, because Mizuno isn't necessarily recognized for their hybrids, is I've picked them up in great used condition for $30 at the local Golf Galaxy.

I also just grabbed a TaylorMade Rescue TP (Tour Preferred) in 17* with x-stiff Fujikura for $60, it felt incredible hitting in the cage.

I can get a tour edge bazooka geomax for 40 shipped. You guys think that's a good price and a decent club??

Thanks

I've tried a couple of different brands and I prefer the B.J. too. Worst hybrid brand for me: Nike.

Take a hard look at the Nickent 3DX DC. You should be able to find them for under $80.

i'm looking for a couple hybrids as well. i might have to hit some of these and try them out

[kleraudio]

You guys recommend I hit some hybrids before I buy? Only problem is, the ones I can afford, I cant find in a retail store to even try out.....

I mean, is it hard to swing a hybrid or its just like an iron?

Oh and thanks for the links guys, that adams hybrid looks pretty nice, and Ive heard good things about Adams lately. I do have an old school tight lies 7 wood.

Thanks!

So I think ive decided on the Adams idea hybrid. Great price. My question is now should I get the a2 OS or just the regular a2??

Are most hybrids offset, just not sure which one to buy.

Thanks!

Had the Adams A30S 3 and 4 hybrid could not hit them at all. Just got the Calaway Diablo #4, 24 degree and the Nickent 3DX RC #3 both are great clubs and real easy to hit, although the Calaway has a very closed face.
Had I bought the Nickent first I would have gone back and bought another simply because of price. They are real cheap, I picked mine up on Ebay from Rockbottom for $28.00.
