I recently went in to take a look at these at my local Golf Galaxy and they didn't have a 3 or 2 hybrid. I was pretty disappointed because I wanted to buy one before my round tomorrow. I was wanting to know how these feel. I have heard that they feel pretty solid and have a nice swing weight to them as well. Anyone here have better shots with them with them? How do they play in the rough?

The Nike SQ hybrid was the first one that convinced me that there are good hybrids out there - my prior experience had been with clubs that I felt were necessary replacements for clubs that "I can't hit" (according to magazines and so on), but weren't clubs I liked.

My first round with the SQ in the bag, my first swing with it (hadn't even hit it on the range) and I hit it to 3 feet and nail the putt for birdie. I've loved it ever since, and it has produced its share of good shots.

I'm fine with it in the rough. It's certainly a lot better than my long irons from the rough used to be.

I've hit one on golf galaxy before and didn't rrlly like it, felt like I was hitting the ball with. piece of wood. Try out the g10 hybrid, its a thing of beauty once you hit it.

I got rid of my Sumo SQ hybrids (and fairway woods) for my Wilson Fybrid hybrids and fairway woods, and I much prefer the Wilsons. From what I recall reading over the years, the Sumo SQ hybrids have not been viewed all that positively. I think there are much better hybrids out there, whether the Wilsons, Ping G series, Cobra Bafflers, etc.

I have both the 3 and 5 SQ Sumo hybrids and love them,wouldn't swap them for anything.
I had a Baffler and one or two Adams hybrids and hated all of them especially the Baffler.

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him

    • Day 299: played 18. Hit the ball well, but did not score well. I think I ended up +10, with half of that coming on 2 holes. 
    • Day 549, May 4, 2024 After lessons and working with Natalie, hit some balls for awhile. Just backswing stuff. Forgot about the slightly shorter stuff, though I'm sure it was as they were only about 75% speed with brief pauses.

    • Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.
    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.
