At what distance do you hit the 4 and at what success? I added hybrids about 4 yrs ago and I typically use them to fill the gap between 160-190yards. I have a hybrid (22deg) that I can hit with good success to 190yrds and it is very forgiving. On most par 4's I find myself right at that mark and it allowed me to par or bogey several holes last season (i can live with a bogey).

There are some inexpesive option on the hybrid marked, buy and try, doesnt work resell.

BTW I used a par of taylor made rescue's and are trying Nickent ironwoods this season. But the 190yard club is a offbrand I bought for $35 on a whim and loved it since.

Well, you aren't really giving us a lot of information. How does the club you're considering replacing behave? How far do you hit it? How well do you hit it? How far do you hit the next-longer and next-shorter clubs in the bag? For example, if you hit your 4-iron, say, 190 yards, and your 5-iron 180, and a 3-hybrid 205, there may be no need for a 4-hybrid. On the other hand, if every time you need to hit a 4-iron, you take the club and think "oh, who am I kidding?" and tend to hit it poorly, a hybrid might be in order.

If you hit your 4-iron well, you may not want to switch.  The thing with hybrids is that they are more forgiving and make it easier to get the ball up in the air than an iron does.

My advice would be to try one out at your local golf shop and see if you like them.

Depends on how well you hit your 4 iron. If it's a problem, hybrid is a great option. Are you looking at options because the 4 iron isn't working out?

Generally speaking, hybrids are easier to hit and give me approx 10 more yards per club...FYI: for this reason I play a hybrid iron set -hybrids for 3 through 7 and love them!

Cant imagine ever going back to traditional irons. My traditional irons are purely scoring clubs-8,9,PW, SW.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
