Any recommendations for square/neutral (or slightly open) faced hybrids? I really don't need any help closing the face, in fact the last thing I need is more hook spin. I know the Titleist 585H has a square face, but I'd like to comparison shop.

Read my reviews of the Titleist 585.H and the TaylorMade Rescue Dual TP.

We have some Bobby Jones hybrids up for review in a month or so, but right now those are the only "player" hybrids I can comment on (the two above).

What about the adams idea pro, that's not square faced? I was under the impression it was a players hybrid, and I didn;t think it had any offset, also used on tour.

Sonartec MD or Tour Edge Exotics CB2 are excellent choices and the ball flies off the face.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I cross-shopped the Titleist 585.H, TM Rescue TP, Adams Idea Pro and the Cobra Baffler Pro. Couldn't find the Sonartec or Tour Exotics around here. I ended up going with the Titleist. It felt really solid and I was able to get the low/mid trajectory that I was looking for.

      Day 141 12-31 Reconnecting arm and club face work. Making sure left wrist is arched only on the downswing. Not doing full swings, im pausing at the top and will do a few rehearsals.  Hit a few real balls  after, and had some curve way left.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      My Swing (tacks451)

      By tacks451 · Posted

      I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.
