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...

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.
