In the market for a new hybrid.  I have been playing a cheap knock-off for about 5 years that I want to replace, and I think its time for some new technology, not to mention a better fit.  My current lofts:

Driver - 10*

3wd - 15*

Hybrid - 19* (to be replaced)

3 Iron - 21*

Seems like the solution would be to go with a 18* hybrid, which would evenly space out my gaps, esp for long fairway shots and long par 3s.  I would prefer a hybrid from Callaway, Titleist, Ping, Cleveland or Srixon.  I am not against a used club, as my budget is $50-$100.  Here are some I am considering:

Cleveland 09 Launcher, w/ Fuji Fit-On (new) : $59.95

Callaway Big Bertha Diablo, w/ stock graphite (like new): $89.99

Srixon AD, w/ Graphite Design YS (used): $39.99

Thoughts?

Srixon, no real reason except I almost bought one today and have never seen anyone play with one. Wow terrible golf purchasing advise. Sorry

Is there a gap to fill? Seems pretty tight to squeeze another hybrid in. A gap wedge may be a better addition? That said I was commenting that I love my Exotics hybrid. I told my buddy it feels like it hits itself.

Yeah, I've never seen the Srixon in real life, but I like their products.  This one has prob the best shaft of the three though, and its the cheapest.  Decisions, decisions.

The Adams Super Black hybrid is worth a look. I like those and the titleist 909h. The super black is really long long, so you would want to hit first. I would bet the 21 degree would be best. I replace my 3 wood with the 15 degree and bag another in 19 degree. Super happy with them.

How about the Callaway FT Hybrid?  Any feedback on this club?  I can get one (used, 8 out of 10) with a Fuji Fit-On M for $50.

I have not used any of those you listed but if you can try a Titleist 909H it is is worth a look. I have the 24 degree, it works well for me. I did own the Adams Super Black hybrid (19 degree) referenced above by "ratherBgolfing" and did not like it at all, the 909H was longer and more consistent IMO.

Well, I ended up with the Callaway FT 08 Hybrid - 18* - Fujikura Fit-On M Stiff.  Snagged it on the bay for $51.  Seller claims 8 out of 10 condition.  Can't wait to get it!!

    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death. 
    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area? 
    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
