I'm always looking for a hybrid I can hit longer and straighter so I tend to buy hybrids more frequently than any other club.

Never. Bought my first hybrid in 2009 or 2010 and still use it. Just got another one late last year but it's a different loft so they're both in the bag.

I voted 2-4 years. I have only ever owned 2 hybrids. Don't think I'll be changing anytime soon though. I love hitting my Callaway X2 hot pro.

I'm a little finicky about hybrids. I think I've only ever owned 3 or 4. So one every 2-4 years.

Haha, same here.  Well, actually didn't buy mine until (I think) early 2012, but it was my first, and is still my only.

Slightly merging topics here, but I'm kinda proud of the fact that since 1999 or so, I've purchased:

ONE driver

ONE fairway wood

ONE hybrid

ONE set of irons

ONE set of wedges

ONE putter

Orlimar TriMetal Mizuno MX-700 Adams Idea Super S Titleist 910h I like the Titleist a lot. Plan on keeping it in the bag until something (maybe a newer Titleist) better with that same look comes along. I'm finicky about them because I need to have a lot of confidence in my hybrid because I tend to use it on trouble shots or when laying up (plus, of course, long approach shots).

I don't have any plans on replacing my hybrids until they break.

2-4 years.  I don't get along well with hybrids but I do keep trying them.  I'm currently using an Adams Super DHY driving hybrid but it doesn't really work well from anywhere but a tight lie so I'm not sure it really qualifies.

Never....

I have never owned a hybrid.  When I bought my 7 wood several years ago I was also testing hybrids, I just hit the 7 wood better and so that I what I purchased.  I may consider swapping my 4I for a hybrid, since I don't hit my 4I very consistently.

I voted never. So far, that is true.

I own exactly two hybrids that I bought from a friend maybe 2-3 years ago.  They are Callaway Heavenwoods about 6-8 years old, 3H (20*) and 4H (23*). They filled the slot I was looking to fill perfectly and still do. It took me a couple of rounds to get used to them, but after that I have really liked them.

Even so, they don't get a lot of play. I gravitated more and more to playing vintage most of the time, and only played that bag maybe twice last year, and probably will only play it in a "shamble" this year plus a re-acclimation round.

I guess this is tied to my irons as I don't picture my self getting hybrids without replacing irons as well.. So, never cause I wouldn't be changing them because I want to, but rather because I'm forced to if that makes any sense.

Same as posted in the driver question :

3 drivers in 8 years or so. same for my woods in general.

I buy used ones from last season about half price or so.

using Taylormade I feel the difference in forgiveness. Also the overall feel is really better every 2-3 years. I dont think every year there is much change yet I cant close my eyes on forgiveness too long either.

I get extra yards on average hitting better shots on average. I dont think the clubs play longer though.

my last purchase 2 years ago about are driver, 3 wood and 3 hybride taylormade RBZ stage 2 stiff (not the TP versions).

I struggled for years to find hybrids I liked, so I don't think I'll swap out anytime soon.

Not very often, but have not always carried hybrids - for years I just had a Nickent 3DX and a 4DX, stopped playing hybrids for a bit and leaned on a 9 wood. In the past 6 months I have gone back to hybrids with a 3+4 Callaway x-hot and a 6 X2 hot.

Same response for the driver 2-4 years, unless a club really play superior to the club I got or does not gap well anymore.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
