Hybrid and other Questions

[John105]

I have about a 30-40 yard gap between my 4 iron and my 5 wood (18*) so I've been contemplating the best way to fill that gap. I just don't know much about Hybrids and the other options.

It'd be nice to have a club that I could turn to on the long, but reachable, par 5s.

Any suggestions or just basic information would be appreciated. Thanks

3 hybrid isn't a bad idea. I used to carry 3 wood, 5 wood, 3 hybrid, 4-PW...since then I've put my 3 iron back in which I'm still not 100% with but it gets the job done.

or you can choke down on the 5 wood which I've done quite often.

I would look into a 3, strong 3, or even a 2 hybrid. It really depends on which club fits the gap you are looking to fill and what you want the club to do for you.

I know it will sound like I am a little fanatical about this but I will say it again. Nickent hybrids are a great club and can be found very cheap. So I would say a way to experiment would be a 21* hybrid. I love mine and once you get used to hitting a hybrid you will wonder how you ever did it before.

Yeah, a nice 21* 3 Hybrid would do very nice. Check out a few models at your local golf store and see if you can test out a few.

I hit my taylor #3 hybird inplace of my 5 wood. It,s much easier to hit out of the rough and very accurate.

+1. Either a 3 wood or a 2 hybrid, depending on which one you can hit better.

A 3-iron is always optional. Some people just don't seem to be able to get to grips with hybrids, and you haven't said if iron-play is a strength or weakness for your current game.

Probably a 3h in the 20-21 range. But you need to swing it first. Off turf & tees. Otherwise it's all a huge guessing game.
