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

    • On my trip at Bandon. I have a couple of best shots come to mind. I had kind of a stupidly good short game shot out of some nasty stuff. I didn't really make any bombs putting.  I could say any drive I hit straight that was hitting directly into the wind, lol. That was nasty. I literally hit a ball like 150 yards right. I am going with my drive on hole 18 at Old MacDonald. 469 yard par 4, down wind. The narrowest fairway on the course, and you have to navigate two sets of bunkers. I stripe one down the middle, catch the slope and have to roll out to about 95 yards to the pin. So yea, that 370-ish drive in the fairway on a 469 par 4 wins the shot of the week. 
    • Day 2: mirror work while watching some TV. Checking on some backswing stuff primarily - making sure I’m still steep enough in the backswing. 
    • Day 88 (28 Jul 25) - Short session this afternoon after a full day of yard work at the house.  Worked on setup and tempo thru the shot with the 52° wedge in the backyard.  Hit about 20 balls total - just staying focused on the process. 
    • Day 10: More putting with the metronome. Short putts feel really slow and long putts feel really fast. Getting more comfortable every day. 
    • Day 301 - 2025-07-28 Watched a lot of golf today at Fox Chapel, but then came home and did some mirror work. Re-dedicated. Which is saying something, as I've been playing okay. But relying on my athleticism to just do "okay."
