I love my hybrids: 21 and 24 degree Nike SQs.

I'm perfectly fine with my MP-57 4-iron, but if I weren't, and didn't want to go the hybrid route, I'd use their MP FLI HI quasi-hybrids. It's half hybrid half iron, looks entirely like an iron. I had their 3-iron for that, and that was fantastic. If you don't want GI clubs, and also don't want irons, but can't do the long iron route, consider these alternatives.

Last year I replaced my 3i, 4i and 5i with hybrids. I did the 3i and 4i first then decided to do the 5i as it worked so well.

Best move I ever made. I don't have the clubhead speed anymore to really hit a penetrating 3i or 4i and I generally play off fairways with fairly tight lies and being in Kansas we have a lot of wind. All of a sudden I was hitting my 3H and 4H like I used to hit my long irons, high and penetrating with a nice soft landing. I love the 5H now too as I hit nice high shots that drop and stop, great for medium range par 3's.

I found a great deal last year on Nickent 3DX DC Ironwoods with Proforce V2 shafts (closeouts at Rockbottom Golf for ~$40 each!). I love the look of them at address and I hit them neutral like irons but a lot more solidly. One thing I did do though was shorten them all 1" as Nickent hybrids run 1/2" to 3/4" longer than most other manufacturers. I also wanted them to be a little closer to iron length to help match distance gaps with my irons, that worked out perfectly. I have a matched set now and the distance gaps through my whole bag are perfect from 4W down to PW.

What's in my bag (most of the time)

Exotics 12°, Aldila VS Proto 65S
Exotics CB1 4W, 16.5°, Fujikura Stiff
3DX DC Ironwood 20°, 23°, 26º Hybrids, Proforce V2 Stiff Acer XP905 Pro 6-PW, Dynalite Gold S300Inazone CNC Spin Satin GW 50°/8°, SW 54°/14°, LW 58°/4°Boccieri...

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
