Hybrid Angle Question

[FutureSound]

So I have been doing my research and I'm looking to buy a hybrid. They seem to have angles of about 19, 21, 23, 25 etc. So my question is, if I was only to buy one hybrid, which angle would be the most beneficial to me? For example which would allow me to hit the most different shots and which would best benefit my bag if I have 4-SW, 7wood and driver? Thanks for any help.

well you have a huge gap there beetween 7 iron and driver, and not having a 2 or 3 iron doesn't help. I would suggest a 19 degree hybrid, which is about the loft of a 2 iron or a 5 wood. Problably would fill the biggest hole in your set

its a 7 WOOD, I have 4-SW for my irons/wedges

i know you said 7 wood. There is a big gap beetween 7 wood and driver, unless you meant you have a driver through 7 wood(1,3,5,7) A 19 degree hybrid can act as a 5 wood.


Alternatively since you have no 3 iron you can use a 21 degree hybrid in place of one. More forgiving and easier to hit.

^^ i think he jsut clarified 7 wood since in your last post u accidentally said 7 iron.

ah so i did.

but anyway, i for the Original Poster, i suggest you get a 3 iron as well. Three Iron. 3 iron. iron.

i have a 3 and 4 iron hybrid. i actually use the 4 the most. i find the 3 only a specific situation club. i'll hit the four pretty much anywhere. i've used it for chips where there is a lot of green to roll, in the trees to punch out, from the rough and it is about the perfect club on most long par threes that i play. i'd try to get the store to give you a demo in the 3 and 4 from the brand that you like the most and take them when you play and hit a variety of shots with them. see which one is most beneficial to you and go from there.

I have hybrids in 18* and 20* to fill the gap between the driver and the 4 iron. I don't carry woods because I've never been comfortable hitting them off the deck and I like carrying 4 wedges instead. If you have a 7 wood already that you hit well, you are probably looking at which of the gaps you want to fill. There is a relatively large gap between the driver and the 7 wood, and a smaller gap between the 7 wood and the 4 iron. Having said that, I think it would be easier to live with the gap between driver and 7 wood, so I would consider a hybrid to fill in that gap between the wood and the 4 iron. At that point you are probably looking at something between 21 and 23 degrees depending on the company. It depends how much of a distance gap you have between the 7 wood and the 4 iron, but that seems like the gap to fill with a hybrid.

I would get a 21* easier to hit and 19* wont help that much

19* is equal to a 5 wood. I have a Ping g5 19* and LOVE it. I'd HIGHLY suggest that, we are around the same handicap.
