Selecting a Hybird?

[Captain Hook]

Just started playing again after several years away from the game, Iam 50 and in decent shape other than the flexabilty is not what it use to be. My qustion is i for the life of me dont hit a 4i worth a S***, and have been lookin at buying a Hybird, i need a club that will replace my long Irons, and what degree?

What are your current 4i specs? Loft, length? Try to match them up to the hybrid.

You'll hit the same loft hybrid farther than an iron. Shaft is a little longer. Say your 4i is 23* you would want to look at a 25 or 26* hybrid. Thats how it worked out for me anyway.

cussion hacker is spot on,i have a 25 degree to replace my 3 iron,its says 4 iron
on it but i hit it the same as my 3 iron.I have a 19* that i use instead of a 5 wood.

Exactly!!!!!!

They make things so much easier. I used to dread fairway shots from 180-200yds..... I don't mind them a bit anymore. I knowI hit more greens with my 3&4hybrids than I ever did with the same irons.

wait for the adams idea pro black hybrid to come out in September - sexiest club ever...

The above posters are spot on. You will need around a 26* hybrid most likely since it will fly a little further then the 4 iron you use now.

Just put my Goldwin irons in the basement, and my 'new' used Cleveland HiBore hyrids in my bag (3-PW). First time using, shot my best game ever (80) and added, at least, 10 yards to each of the clubs. Fairway woods are going into the basement with the irons. I'm 65; 18-19 handicap; pretty full swing at about 81-86 mph.

Ping G2, 15.5*, Reg - Driver
Dunlop Offset, 13* - 3 Wood
Cleveland HiBore Irons – 3/PW
Goldwin 50* PW
Goldwin 55* SW
Cleveland 60* LW
Carbite ZG Mallet putter
Noodle+ Long & Soft

I picked up the Nickent 3DX DC 19* used at a PGA Tour Superstore for only $19.99. The 2nd round I played with it I nailed a shot from 200 out 5 feet away from the cup. Needless to say, I am now impressed with hybrids, and will be getting some more in a couple of months.

A 4 iron's normal loft is 24 degrees so I would go for the Titleist 909H. It's a very good club but also the TaylorMade 09 Rescue and the Mizuno MX-700. You can check the reviews of these three clubs on the Sand Trap website. IMO the 909 H is the best out of the three.
