I tried not carry one for the longest time and finally put one together just to try out. Cost me about 40 total (already had the shaft) but I ended up keeping it. I hit it about 10 yards further than my 3i always with a slight draw. Now I did demo some other ones and I was all over the place. I stuck with the snake eyes and the only complaint is I can't work the ball that well with it.

Never did get the hang of hitting a hybrid. Must be a knack shot or something. Anyway, my 5 wood is pretty versatile hitting a high cut from 185 to hitting a low draw to 200-210. This year I even learned to hit a low punch that can move a little left or right depending on the situation. Anything beyond that I hit my 3 wood which goes pretty straight. I don't mess with trying to move the ball around with my 3 wood. That's next years project. But I see my partners just killing their hybrids so it's 6 one way, half dozen another in my book.

No hybrid here:
Driver, 3wood, 3i and on down the line.

I wouldn't be opposed to getting a hybrid, just never needed one since I hit my 3i as well as my other irons.

Used to carry a 5wood, but I added another wedge and gave the 5wood to my Dad.

I've never even hit a hybrid. I know people say they are easy to hit, but to me they look more difficult to hit than either an Iron or a Wood...

If you can't lead 'em with a stick, beat 'em with a carrot!

Since I hit my three iron almost too high, and consistently enough, I don't need one.

The new Titleist ones are money though. Just amazing feel off the face.

I'm not bad with long irons, and quite frankly I doubt I'm going to hit a 3-hybrid any more consistently than my 3-iron. So right now, I see no need for it.

i love my hybrid and hit it really well it is workable to very workable many better players don't play hybrids but if they tried adams idea pro /pro gold line i think they would. and for people that say they hit hybrids to high try the idea pro it is very low spin and has a nice penetrating flight

Man i feel as if i know how to work a ball.. and this adams is just weird.. like i am a pretty good long iron player (altho my swing path may suggest otherwise) and i just dont know.. it looks just stupid at adress..

that i can't really argue it is a box which probably throws you off mental when you go to work it especially fade's

I like my hybrids as I have 3 of them, a 3(20 deg) 4(23 deg) and 5(26 deg) and they all get used quite a bit. Ive never been able to hit long irons very well, even a 5 iron so these make those longer shots much easier, able to get the ball up out of the rough or weird lies too. Ive grown to rely a lot on these clubs and couldnt do without them.

I cant hit them for crap, I have tried multiple hybrids and they really add no benifit to my game. The only time I will put one in my bag is if there are alot of fairway bunkers or really tall rough. But they really dont belong in my bag.

I gave all my hybrids to my dad. My 3 wood never fails me and I can hit it great at diffrent distances.

I see lots of people saying they are hook machines…....or could those people possibly have swing flaws Look, my hybrid is so easy to kit it almost feels like I'm cheating. Easy to hit off the tee, easy to hit from the fairway or rough, easy to hit high or low or left or right. Not only should "better players" be gaming them but beginners and intermediates should as well.

No hybrids in my bag, I bought one and took it out after about a month of never hitting it straight. I hit my 3 and 4 irons plenty long, high and straight. No need for one.

I go from my 5wood to 4 iron...I carry a 3 iron and tried two hybrid 3's..I like the 5 wood and 4 iron better. I hit the 3 iron very seldom, usually as a knock down on windy days. Never felt like I could control hybrid distance and accuracy. Did I mention I like my 5 Wood?

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf. 
    • They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
