I've been looking for a club in between my 3 iron and 3 wood and came across this callaway X prototype iron. I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on that club or another club to fill that gap between the 2 clubs. Thanks

I generally hit my Callaway 3 Hybrid 20* longer than I hit any 3 iron, so that might be a thought. If your 3 wood is around 13-15*, then a Hybrid around 18-21* might fill that gap for you. I am not knocking long irons, by the way. I resisted hybrids for years, but tried a couple that worked great for me and now I am hooked.

I read it the day you put it on this site and I bought one off eBay that night. So if I don't like it I'm blaming you.

Dang...maybe I should have bashed it then. I love it because I don't like longer hybrids.  1. I am not very tall.  2.  I don't like graphite shafts in general very much.  3.  I cannot hit a hybrid off of a tee.  With my G20 GI irons I was always hitting them out on the toe because the hosel sticking out so far made me want to address the ball out on the toe more.  If you use the utility off of a tee you may have to tee it a bit lower than you would a normal iron.  Which one did you get?

Yeah its 110 with shipping but still almost half retail. I have a 3 iron I hit pretty well and I like my 3 wood but I struggle hitting it off the tee. I was kinda hoping the 18 will be my club off the tee on short or real tight holes.

      Day 159 1-19 Flow drill while attempting to add arch in wrist on downswing. Not where it needs to be but felt good working on swing flow.

      Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills.

      That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness.

      Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.

      Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
