Im looking for a 21/22 degree hybrid and I like the looks of the Ping i25 just curious if anyone has hit this hybrid?  Im also looking at the Nike 2.0, the Titleist 913 H and Callaway X 2Hot. Any feedback on these or any other suggestions would be great.

Thanks

Jake

Have you tried out any of the Adam's line? I tried a couple recently and like them. They feel more like an iron to me than other hybrids do which I like.

I have and I honestly can't stand that slot or whatever it is on the top. One of my buddies has one and I just can't stand looking at it.

If you want to try out the Ping i25, try to find a place that still sells or has the Ping i20's. Much better club, with a better shaft in it. You can probably find them on sale.

Good point, I would go with the i20 as well.  You can get them for much less anyway.

I don't care about the $$$ I got a bunch of gift cards for Christmas. Ill try the i20 I'm not crazy about how it looks but I haven't seen that one in person. I had an RBZ that I sold but that's more because I had 2 club's with the same loft.

SERIOUSLY!?!?!?!

i20's are the best looking wood and hybrids EVER!!!

Ok a little over dramatic, but how can you say you don't like how they look with out seeing them in person. :-D

Sorry I just looked it up. I was thinking of the G20 not the I. The i20 does look good. Why do you think the shaft is bad in the i25?

Because the i25 golf shafts feel horrible. The i-series is suppose to be for better players. The shafts are not nearly stout enough for anybody with significant club head speed. Just my personal preference on that one.

I really like the X Hot hybrids from last year, stupid easy to hit. X2 Hot is good as well.

I just picked up the Nickent F26 3H. I really like it so far. Hit it with a TMAG, Callaway, adams and a cobra and it was the best for me. Has an adjustable lie/loft. Nice sound with impact, shaft feels sturdy, and distance is good with my swing (215 with this one). Id recommend trying it out.

I'm definitely going to be giving the x hot a try. I have the x hot pro 3 wood and I absolutely love it. Last year I struggled with my 3&4 irons so I'm looking for a hybrid.

So I was looking at the i25 online and I was wondering how much difference there is between their 80g shaft and the 90g? Is that even enough to make a difference? The torque is 3.1(80 vs 2.8(90) Im not knowledgeable on shaft enough to know if that really matters.

I've got two Cleveland Launcher hybrids, about 3 yrs old.   Best clubs in my bag.  The 23* works from 160-175 and the 18* add 10-15 yrds.  Easy to hit, consistent and highly recommended.

I ended up getting the X2 Hot 22 degree. I found pretty quickly that I don't like the smaller headed hybrids. I was having trouble choosing between the X 2 Hot and the Corvet 2.0. I ended up choosing the Callaway because it was a bit longer and felt better on off center hits.

Good choice. You will have the x utility for getting off the tee on tight holes and the x2 hot for easier use from various lies. I like it. I have a 22 degree myself as well.

I love them off the tee. When I need a go too shot from the tee, break out the hybrid. I honestly can't remember ever mishitting the hybrid off the tee.

I think I am going with the new Titleist though. I'm trying to find a good low degree hybrid to replace my 3-wood.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.

      One handed swing faster?

      By davidgolfman ·

      He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
