Anyone recommend a 19* Hybrid with a high launch angle? I like my Cleveland Hibore but I want to pick up another Hybrid with a bit higher launch angle so they can be switched out when needed on different courses. Any suggestions?

I found the TM Raylor and Idea Super Hybrid to be pretty high launch.

Idea Pro 18* and/or 20*

The TM Rescues have a very high launch angle.

I have an Idea Pro (older model), love it. Goes about 210-220yds for me and lands soft. I found it for $40 used at GolfSmith. Someone had cut it down 1" (compared to specs), but I like the length, same as my 4-iron, but goes about 15yds farther and lands softer.

another vote for the TM Raylor
i have the 22º as a replacement for my 3i and it is pretty high...even w the VooDoo shaft, which is low launch
it sits nice on long par 3's or in coming to Par 5's in two

and it can be had relatively cheap too - picked mine up used in 9 / 10 condition for $85USD shipped

i was a hybrid hater until i put this in the bag

I'd suggest the Adams a4 Idea Boxer. Unfortunately, I haven't done much by way of side-by-side comparisons with other hybrids, but it feels like it's a decently high launcher. The 3h is 19*.

Take a look at the Ping K15 hybrids also - they're definitely a high-launch hybrid.

I finally bought a 19* Raylor on Wednesday as a replacement for my 5W. In comparison test in October, 5W was about 10 yards longer, but Raylor had much tighter shot pattern.

Tried Raylor at range and for 9 holes later that day: ball jumps up nicely on impact, but doesn't balloon at top - really good carry. Remaining Raylors are selling out fast: New ones can be had for $99, if you can find one.

Focus, connect and follow through!

Haven't hit enough different hybrids to say definitively whether mine is relatively high launch, but I love my Titleist 585h 19˚. If I don't deloft it at all it has a pretty high launch angle and lands quite softly for a 19˚ club.

Recently purchased the Cobra Baffler Rail hybrid in 17*. I got this replace my Ping Rapture in 18*. In REALLY like this club! It's more forgiving on off center hits (which I'm prone to) and the sound is much better than the Ping. I did enjoy the Ping I just much prefer the Cobra.

Another +1 on the Adams Super Hybrid. Picked up a used 15* with a Matrix Altus shaft and cracked the very first shot 220 yards (straight) with not that much effort. Confidence club for sure. The sound and feel really are pleasing to the senses

Highly Recommended!

Anyone use the Adams A7? (What are the shot characteristics)

I have looked at the A7 but havent gotten a chance to hit it yet. I like the Raylor but i seem to rock the club to the heel which seems to be alil dangerous.

    • Day 21 - Good session with driver and 6i. Hitting real golf balls is quite a bit different from the foam balls, still getting used to that change. 
    • There are so many videos comparing and contrasting everything that I am both overwhelmed and more than a bit skeptical. Your comments above are much more valuable than hours of you-tube videos. Generally speaking, I’d much prefer to read something that someone took the time and trouble to write (such as your comments) than a bunch of videos, or worse, meaningless reviews that seem like they are all cut and paste selections of the same script. I’m more of a RTFM type than a watcher of “instructional” videos. By way of explanation, I don’t watch TV either.  So thanks - I’ll take that under advisement. I have an H3 that I bought for $10 that I’ve been carrying around but not sure why. Seems like a cool club, but I just don’t really know what to do with it. 
    • I was using the window as a mirror. Just trying to be a more aware of the feels for a better backswing. Trying to not be as closed from A1 to A2. Then not letting the club head flip inside. What I was feeling was a pressure my right wrist, and like the palm of my right hand was pushing upward against the grip of the club. My right hand was the underside of the swing path.  Going to play around with this a bit more. It looked pretty decent with mirror/window work. Just wanted to jot it down. 
    • Day 4: 3/26/25 Par4Success workout followed by putting through 50 mm gates.
    • Day 249: did a stack putting session and then worked on 5 foot putts for a bit.
