Any of y'all not carry hybrids?

[misty_mountainhop]

Not for me. Generally hit my long irons fine and to be honest, I can't stand the look of the hybrids.

[Zeph]

Generally, the higher handicap a player have, the more likely it is the player is carrying one and the more likely the player will benefit from having one.

If you look at the replies in this thread, most that don't carry one are on single digits or up to 15.

Still, statistics doesn't matter to your own game. There are many players on the PGA Tour using hybrids. One of them being Tim Clark, currently two behind the leader on the WGC.

i'm still persisting with my 1 iron which is a bit ridiculous.

I maybe use it once in a round and it's either excellent or awful roughly 50/50.

Is this a waste of space?

does anyone still carry a 1 iron? pros, ameteurs, anyone?

[Heimer]

I have a 3 and 4 hybrid in my bag. I had just sworn them off, because I just can't hit the darn things.. Then, I played a round last friday and hit them great.. I'm thinking now that I might give them another chance.

I agree with the other posters as well, the feel and weight of them is very different.

I'm seriously considering one as a 2-iron replacement. I just had heard that they are not that great off the tee and I need to be able to pipe one 215-220 confidently off the tee when my driver is misbehaving if I am going to replace my 2-iron. I also would want to use it for those long shots from the fairway which have to carry that menacing water hazard on those long par 5s.

Right now, I am looking at the Bobby Jones 2H or 3H. If I can actually find brick and mortar store in Michigan that sells those, and, if after demoing it, I feel that I can accomplish the above two objectives, then I will bag one. I will not get rid of my 3-iron, though. Never.

i refuse to put a hybrid in my bag,money i dont need to spend on hook machines that look un apealling at adress..no thanks

Hybrids are no different from any other club. They are not "hook machines". Maybe what you have tried are draw biased, but there are plenty of them which are designed to play neutral and are even aimed at the better players. You can't lump them all into one barrel just because you had a bad experience any more than you can do that for all drivers just because you may have tried one that is draw biased.

My head pro carries a hybrid, plays a draw for his normal shot, and his hybrid doesn't draw any more than any of his irons do.

[misty_mountainhop]

Not for me; don't like they way they set up and can't work them very well.

[Rob]

I tried several,hated them,got rid of them. I carry a 3 and 5 wood,and sometimes a 7 wood,depending on the course.

[schapman]

I have a 23* hybrid that I occasionally try to use. I can't hit it for the life of me (hence it being up for sale in the marketplace).

Something about it being between an iron and a fairway wood just doesn't gel with me

[glebert]

I've tried 'em, can't hit 'em. I have a set, would you like to buy them? Maybe I haven't given them enough of a chance, or maybe I need to try different models, but at the point that I can hit my short woods (5 and 7) or my long irons (down to 2i) much better I figure maybe I'm just not a hybrid kinda guy.

[bunkerputt]

Anyone? Mine gives me fits... Some shots it's great others it sucks :(

I don't know if I've ever hit a decent shot with a hybrid in my life. They are supposedly "easier" to hit, but I've found I can pure a 3 or 4-iron way more often. Plus, there's absolutely nothing in golf like the feel of a pured long iron to me.

[enduro]

If you can't "hit" a hybrid, it probably isn't the club as much as the person swinging it. I don't understand what is different about a hybrid swing to an iron swing to a wood swing. It's all the same. Different length shafts produce different angles, but that doesn't change the dynamics of a swing.

[is2linda]

Hm... i guess im a new generation golfer, but i dont care so much about appearance and little things like that. so many people complain "oh it looks so clunky, or it looks stupid and etc" but the way they hack their 3 irons it down right embarrassing.

I love my TM rescue, it gives me the launch i need without exerting my strength, saves me from the rough, and gives me the distances i need.

[mhodar13]

I go straight from my 5 wood to my 3 iron. I don't and never will carry any hybrids. I just can't stand them.

[shades9323]

I go straight from my 5 wood to my 3 iron. I don't and never will carry any hybrids. I just can't stand them.

Have you actually tried a bunch of them? Or any on the course?

[Cussin hacker]

I use to carry a 4 and 7 wood till I tried a used bin hybrid. Now I have 4 new hybrids and no more frwy woods. I hit my 18* hybrid farther than my 15* 4+ wood.

[Careyst]

I'm new to golf, been playing only for about 2 months now. My club set came with a 3, 4 and 5 hybrid. At first, I was struggling with them and could not hit them for anything. I hated them, but did not give up. I went to the range and worked on them every week. Now, I feel like I need them more so than my irons. I hit all of them really straight, great height, great off the tee, fairway, rough, whatever... They work well anywhere probably except bunkers.

I don't, but not out of choice. I just don't have a lot of money.
