2H anyone??

250 yards with a 16* hybrid? Riiiiiight...

I imagine a good player could do it without too much trouble. I hit my 17* 2h about 215 and I'm not a long hitter. 250 may be on the long side but I wouldn't say it "not possible".

That seems reasonable, what's your issue with it? Too short?

I appreciate the support-the last thing I'm going to do here is inflate or brag about my distances (cause it's annoying, and they're not really anything to brag about anyway). The Baffler 16* hybrid is practically a second driver, but unlike a driver, I never fade or slice with the 16*, so I can really step into it when need be. Also, the ball just seems to jump off the face. I hit it twice this weekend from the fairway, once on a par 5 after a nice drive, and once on a par 4 after a horrible drive. Both times it went 240+, and I hit it off the tee a couple times, where it usually goes 235-255. I can also choke down to the edge of the grip and use an easier swing for about 205-210 yards. Bottom line, remarkably easy to hit and versatile-I've reached more par 5s in 2 using the Baffler in 2009-2010 than I had in every other year of my golfing life combined.

LOL...yeah, too short. *rolls eyes* You gotta love people on golf forums who claim all these great distances. Kinda like all the people who claim to be hitting their 9-iron 180 yards...

I'm not sure exactly how a 250 yard 16* Hybrid (essentially a 3 wood) equates to a 180 yard 9 iron? Whatever, I only put down my distance to give an idea of how useful a low-lofted hybrid can be. But it sure seems to bother you, so what the heck.

Anyway, my 9 iron (when I'm playing my Zings) usually goes about 145, sometimes 150 when I'm extra big and strong.

I never want to give up my 5 wood.

My 5w was magic. It did all sorts of stuff for me. Easily my favorite club in my bag...until I got a 3i hybrid and loved it so much I replaced my aging 5w with a 2h (17*). It's even better than the 5w. I'm not saying you should run out and change, just letting you know it can get better - even when its already great.
