This summer i have worked on my swing, and as a resut, I now have more of a "players" swing. I traded in my old offset irons for 755 with no offset, and am hitting those well, my problem now is my Hybrid, My Hybrid before my swing changes, was my most reliable club, and now it hooks, its the only club in my bag I am not comfortable with. I am usually good at slowing down my swing to determine what im doing wrong, and correct it. but inorder to hit this hybrid (Ben Hogan Apex) i basically have to swing for a slice. I think the reason why im having so much trouble is because i am used to swinging clubs with no offset, and inorder to hit my hybrid, with offset, i have to go back to my old swing to do so. My Question is: Do i need to invest in more pf a "players" hybrid, with no offset such as the Titleist 585 inorder to cure this problem?

Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

You probably have a better - or at least more consistent - swing than I do, but I was having the same problem with my previous hybrids. I just picked up an Adams Idea Pro Hybrid with no offset yesterday. First few swings with it still produced a strong draw / weak hook but after I got used to it, it was a straight easy swing for 200+. I used it to put one on the green from around 220 out today. From most of the reviews I read, the best hybrid choices with no offset are the Titleist 585H and the Adams Idea Pros.

Same thing happened to me. I picked up two hybrids, and I hooked the hell out of them (and I used to have a natural fade/slice).

I just learned to swing them slower then the rest of my irons, and let the club do all the work. The next step, of course, is to get an Adams Hybrid

    • Day 16 - Hit the range and played 12 holes. Seeing results from Evolvr analysis, but it’ll take time to achieve consistency.

    • @Hardspoon and I will have to discuss it over for the next one. 😛    Just to give a short review of the courses.  NorthStar is a pretty good course. The condition is good. There was a couple of meh holes (#16 and #18 specifically). Nothing really stood out as amazing. Yea, probably like a 6/10.  Eaglesticks, I think from tee to green is really interesting. Some of the greens, more so pin positions were a bit crazy. Like, if you slightly missed you would have a putt that could not stop with in 15-Ft of the hole. Maybe a 5.5/10 something around there.  The Virtues, still good as ever. In really good condition. Being it is in a similar part of the state as Eaglesticks, it shares the same hilly terrain. Eaglesticks is more compact, so it might have more extreme slopes. While the Virtues is on a larger property and was more selective in where the holes were built. The green complexes at The Virtues seemed fairer than Eaglesticks. Still, I think a very good public course that can challenge you to hit a good tee shot. The approach shots are interesting. I still think I would recommend people make the trip to play if they haven't done so. Probably a 7/10.   
    • Shot 77 at Eagle Sticks (Middle/ Blue) and 87 at Virtues (Middle/White). Not as sharp at Virtues and for me it was a much tougher course. Both courses were fun, in good shape and interesting. Virtues was clearly a notch or two higher in overall quality (former Longaberger Golf Club).
