I currently have a pair of 3H and 4H Cleveland DST Hybrids. I cant hit them for nothing! 3-10 hits actually go where i want them. I have spent ALOT of time on them and it cant figure them out. Are there any other hybrids that seem to hit easier? Any info on this would help greatly. Thanks for your time.

My Bobby Jones hybrids are amazing and very easy to hit.

My equipment:

Driver - Callaway FT3 Fusion (9 degree)
3 Wood - Orlimar Tri-Metal (9 degree)
Hybrids - Bobby Jones (17, 21 & 25 degree)

Irons - KZG XCB 5 - PW

Wedges - Warrior (52 & 56 degree)

Putter - STX Envision

Ball of choice - Callaway TOUR i(s)


I own 07 TM burner rescue and tried many at the range. Those are by far my favs and are incredibly long and easy to hit.

Overall i like the clevelands, but the ping G15s are by far the easiest.

In my L8...
Driver: Launcher 460 9.5
Fairway Wood: 18 degree hybrid
Irons: G5 3-GW
Wedges: m/b 50, 56Putter: Anser 2Ball: D2 Feel


The Burner Rescue from 2007 are by far the easiest hybrids to hit. Comes off super hot off the face.

I'm in the market for an easy to hit hybrid as well. I really don't want to shell out $150-200 on one though. I've read that the Nickent hybrids are great clubs while being very affordable.

I have a Nike Sumo that I bought for short money, it hits easily and consistently, ballflight is a little high though.

Wouldn't you like a ballflight that is high? They are for the most part replacing irons/woods for those people that have trouble getting them up in the air more consistently. The high ballflight allows for the ball to land softly on the greens. As long as the ball isn't ballooning I think the high ball flight is helping you.

Thinking I might go try out the Taylormade Rescues

One of the UK golf magazines rated the Taylor Made Rescue, and Taylor Made Burner SuperFast Rescue as most forgiving.

Not everyone wants / needs to flight the ball high. My FT hybrid flys extremely high, which is useful when it's not blowing out. When the wind is blowing it's an extremely tough club to control the ball flight, however with my 4 iron I can control the ball flight better. So I think it really depends on the level of the golfer, and what exactly they are looking for out of their hybrids. But that's just IMO.

Go hit every hybrid that you can and decide for yourself. As you can see we all use different clubs. I prefer my Wilson Staff Fybrids.

I second the Bobby Jones Hybrids. They launch higher than any other hybrid I've tried.

Driver...Ping G10 10.5* V2 High Launch

4-wood......Bobby Jones by Jesse Ortiz 2012 17*
3-4 Hybrid.......Bobby Jones Player Series 21* and 25*
Irons.........Mizuno MX-200
Wedges....Titleist Vokey Spin Milled 52*, Ping Tour-W 56*, Ping Tour-S 60*....Putter-Ping Redwood Piper.....Ball-Srixon TriSpeed Tour


I have an FT 3H and it is easy to hit. By definition though all hybrids are going to be easy to hit when compared with long irons. It's what they are made for. The best thing you can do is hit as many different ones as possible and narrow down your search to several that you like and then go get fit for one. If you dont have a place that will fit you (and Im not talking about Golfsmith or GG) then your best bet is to find a range or course with demo clubs and hit some of those on the range. Hybrid tech hasnt changed in the past few years so you could get a club used that's a year or two old fairly reasonably priced.

What do you like about them? I have an old Wilson 5 wood and love it.

    • Sounds good for the full swing stuff!
    • Didn’t score the best, but probably the best I’ve done implementing the swing feels on the course.  Preshot routine - make one practice swing hands down only hitting  the ground like 3 ft behind the ball. Make a 2nd practice swing where I add a bit of turn back in.  Set up and make a swing with those feels. Driver - A stripe show. Just laser beams at my target. Like under 10 yards of curve. Irons - pretty solid. Contact was flush. Just slight pull draws. Just need a bit of face control. It’s close. I had an 8 iron that left the club, didn’t leave the flagstick. The ball probably moved 1 yard in the air. I came up like 4 yards short.  Distance wedges - Needs work.  Short Game - needs work from different lies. Putting - Made almost everything inside of 10 ft.  Going forwards, still going to work on the swing. Backswing length and arms down stuff. I need to work on my distance wedges a lot. 
    • Reasonably dry by the afternoon/evening. Some players not seeing many or any mud balls. Maybe they should have hit their tee shots lower. 🙂  Also, for as much as this was supposed to be a bomber's paradise… Luke Donald is T3. He'll turn 48 this year.
    • Day 227 - 2025-05-15 Played a few holes. Triceps were sore, and it didn't go great. 😄 
    • I watched the Golf Channel last night, and they showed the wet fairways.  Squishy!
