Need to replace my Callaway FT hybrids (2 & 4) - Buy the same clubs or upgrade

[Sndbagger]

I carry 2 Callaway FT-hybrids in my bag, both the 2 (18 deg) and the 4 (24 deg) - both neutral.

Over the past 4 years, these clubs haves seen a severe beating as I use the 2 on every par 5 (and some narrow par 4s) and the 4 hybrid on lay ups and long par threes. As a result, these clubs have a lot of battle scars and need to be replaced.

Has anyone upgraded or changed from these clubs and found a suitable replacement? Should I just buy replacements or should I upgrade to something better (not worried about cost, more about same feel, distance and forgiveness)?

My bag

Driver - Taylormade Superfast (the white one) - 250-285

2 hybrid - Callaway FT 18 deg - 200-235

4 hybrid - Callaway FT 24 deg - 180-200

4 iron - Callaway RX tour (2011) - 175-190

5 iron - '' - 170-175

6 iron - '' - 160-165

7 iron - '' - 145-155

8 iron - '' - 130-140

9 iron - '' - 120-125

PW - ' 105-115

52 - Cleveland (zip groves) - 100

56 - '' 70

60 - '' NA (use it for flopping and sand shots

I'm a slicer so I really can't use a 3 wood as it will get me in trouble (which is why I have a 4 hybrid and a 4 iron). I'm a 17 handicap but it's mainly due to getting myself in trouble when I slice.

Thank you for all your help,

Callaway Razr X Tour hybrids are pretty nice.  Give em a try.

Thanks I'll try em out. Just wasn't sure if they were an upgrade or just the same feel but different look.

I'd say they are an upgrade.  When I bought the 3H I tested it against a couple older hybrid lines (from Callaway) that they had in stock.  The ball speed off the face was consistently higher.  I was also a bit straighter with the RazrX.

Glad to hear that somebody else likes the FT hybrids......been using the FT-iz 11* driver for a couple months now....with a P X 5.0 graphite shaft...it has been terrific.....so i just got the FT-iz #3 & #4 hybrids a couple weeks ago.   I tend to pull them a bit but I am still just getting used to them.

Had the FT-iz - Went to the driving range and the plastic back flew off of it. Was so bummed as I was getting an extra 10 yards with it.

The FT hybrids are by far my favorite club I've ever hit. My post was questioning whether the newer clubs are better than the FT's I have as I was debating just getting used ones or rarely used ones.

These are the puppies I'm talking about.

Let me know if you like the iz's. I'd be very interested in looking at those vs the other FT's.

Hit my 2 hybrid 260 the other day (10-20 yard wind) and then flopped my 60 for my first eagle (10 years of playing) and a win in the tournament (pt tourney, won by 8 lol). I feel like it's cheating when I hit my hybrids and my wedges solid (only my wedges are illegal but my club allows them ).

I have tried the Razr Edge, Titleist 909h & 910h, and Adams Pro A12.  The 910H was the closest to the FT for me, but I still use the FT 2h with the 910h 3h.

Before you buy the callaways try the Taylormade RBZ's. I have a 19 degree and I love it if you dont mind the price tag.
