Long irons vs. my Hybrids

[longbow]

Took delivery of a set of TM Firesole irons, tour edition.  These have the graphite pro launch shafts.  Anyways set consists of 2-pw.  Only used the 4-pw and had my Nickent 3DX with me too.  These consist of the 3 and 4 hybrid I bought but only took the 4.  Long story short wind kicked up wicked along Lake Ontario so seemed to be playing a lot of longer shots which stands to reason.  Hybrids have the regular flex shaft and have to tell ya the regular feels like an X stiff to me.  Hit them low, which considering the conditions was a good thing probably but with a notable slice.  So not that I ever play long irons really, never really have truth be told, but figured what the heck.

I gotta tell ya just very slightly open the club, take an open position at address and swing big you know a big arc or try to, but easy and voila even into the teeth of the wind which was extraordinary got just a good boring flight.  Way way easier to hit the 4 iron than the hybrid.  You could actually feel the shaft kick which I think is a good thing.  When the wind was quartering into me though I tended to hook the ball big which made me think to open my stance a bit and open the club a bit.  Did the same thing with the DX-4 but just didn't seem to work at all.  On a par 3 at 205 yds with the wind quartering into me left to right hit a draw and hit left of the green slightly longer than pin high.  For me that is an accomplishment.  Especially with the way the wind kicked up.  Coming up 17 I was bent over into it with everything flapping hard, pant legs, towels, head cover etc.etc.  Kind of fun actually.

So that is my story easiest to hit long iron(s) I have ever owned and I own more than a few sets now.  I like that kick thing too.  Don't seem to feel that on the pw-7 iron though.  Matter of fact it feels better hitting the 4 and 5 than it does the higher irons.  So go figure.  I also have a set of Firesoles that aren't the tour models and can't find any real discern-able difference in the heads at least to me.  So I might combine the long irons of the tour models with the steel shafts of the other set.  Ok that's it thanks for listening.
