15° hybrid help

[c_mack9]

im looking to fill another gap. i want a 15° hybrid that is easy to hit. i need a club that i hit longer than my calloway x-hybrid 2H. the problem is there isnt a lot of options in this loft. i would prefer a stiff graphite shaft cause i will use this club off the tee mostly. a 15° 3 wood would be ok if it has a short enough shaft, i get a little wild with longer shafted clubs. remember, easy to hit. please help.

anyone have any experience with the new ping g10 hybrids yet? i can get it with a proforce shaft for 125 on ebay. its 150 new from tgw: http://www.tgw.com/customer/category...TEGORY_ID=9706

what are these like?

what about the nike slingshot like these: http://www.tgw.com/customer/category...TEGORY_ID=6983

I've always found the Slighngshots to be insanely easy to hit... Its horses for courses though. Go to a demo day/fitting session and see what works for you.

[c_mack9]

we rarely have demo days and people around here dont stock enough stuff for fittings. even if i got fitted, i could find it online for WAY cheaper so i usually just play standard stuff and it fits fine. are the slingshots long, distance wise? i dont want to get something i cant hit farther than my calloway 18°

The slingshot is the best club im my bag IMO. It's very forgiving, I can hit it about 180-190 not even warmed up yet. I have a 2H which I believe is a 17 degree hybrid. Definatly give it a shot!

I have a g10 and it is a very easy club to use and very solid. Prefered it in testing to the little titleist and the cobra

i havent got to see one in person yet, does it have a ton of offset? big and bulky, or more like a players hybrid? what shaft did you get?

Since you request an easy to hit club, I suggest you try a Cobra Baffler DWS #1 Hybrid, with the Aldila NV shaft. It is actually 16 degrees, not 15. But give it a try. The Cobra Baffler is the easiest to hit club I've ever swung. I own 5 bafflers: 16, 18, 20, 23 and 26 degrees. I recently replaced the 16 degree with a Titleist 906F4 3 wood, but I will be rotating that club with the 16 degree Cobra. Do yourself a favor and demo this club. Good luck.

i should have gotten a baffler instead of my calloway but i got a good deal on it so i took it. i would get teh baffler 1h you are talkin about but i want a 15° or 14° im affraid 16° just wouldnt cut it for the distance i want.

I hit the g10 hybrid at a golftown around where I live and I thought was okay, I'd go with the Nickent 4DX amazing, it goes a long way.

No idea why you would want a hybrid to "go a long way," thats what a driver is for

The g10 has a long but narrow face, certainly not bulky. I has the V2 high launch shaft in it, it stiff, plays like a board but very solid!

[c_mack9]

actually i want it to go a long way cause my driver is all over the place lately and i have been using my 18° off the tee on my trouble holes. i dont play a 3 wood so this will kind of fill in that gap i have there. i looked at the g10 and slingshot today, neither was the loft im looking for but the g10 looks real nice to me. i didnt get to hit either one of them but i dont think anyone in town will have the loft and shaft i want so im probabaly gonna have to order one without hitting it first. im tryin to be patient and wait til i go to St Louis this weekend but im not sure if i can wait that long.

[shortgame85]

Here's some unsolicited advice: wait to hit the clubs before you buy to avoid buyer's remorse. Also, you might be surprised how far you hit a 16 degree hybrid. I wouldn't discount the possibility of the Cobra Baffler just because it has a 1 degree higher loft than you're looking for. Use judgement based on real life experience. Good luck to you.

[c_mack9]

honestly i would like 14° but the only on i see is the nickent 4dx. im trying to be patient and not order one until after this weekend because im gonna try to find a large golf store in st louis to demo some hybrids because my local stores dont stock jack. when i decided to get a new hybrid, baffler was the first one on my mind, i was a little disappointed to see them not make the loft i wanted. i will try to hit the one you are talking about before i make a purchase though, thanks. so im planning on hitting the 16° baffler, 15° g10 with the v2 shaft and the 14° 4dx with v2 shaft.
