I hit my 5 iron about 150 metres, so need the new hybrid to fall into the bracket to replace my three and four iron. Dont really know how to go about this without getting fitted which I really cannot afford at the moment. Also cant really afford a brand new club so looking for something that is easy to hit, draw bias, and maybe a few years old so price isnt so high.

Thankyou!

There are a lot of options in the used club market. Since you are not going or a fitting try global golf.com. You can get some used hybrids for cheap. I would recommend the Cleveland Massie. Like new condition was going for $29.99. Solid club.

look at lofts, not the number on hybrids ... assuming your 5 iron is 25°, and you're only looking for one hybrid at this point,  might want to look for a 21° - I'd recommend the Nike Vr-S (pre-Covert) ... they're really cheap on the used market and very solid clubs

The nickents from Dicks sporting goods in the 7DT model now are pretty cheap new, and good solid clubs. You can pick up adams that are a couple years old or used on Rockbottomgolf.com and you can check out Taylormade preowned website. ebays a good place to look. Like I said, check out the nickents, adams and TM, some of the better hybrids that fit a lot of people.

I assume you're not in the USA since ... I mean, the avatar, and the use of "meters."

Callaway is using face cup technology in its hybrids this year (as is Jesse Ortiz at Bobby Jones), and if you want "new" or newish tech, I'd check Callaway out at a demo day this spring...

    • Which was his second hole, yeah. I talked with Mav's coach/instructor last night, ha ha.
    • Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
