Hybrids

[Steven]

I've got Ram IW5 25 degree hybrid. I get it about a month ago for $10 from sports authority, didn't want to spend $100 & find out that I don't like it.
It's a pretty darn good club for the price.

to anyone who doesnt carry a hybrid-

I was going to make a new post to say that I don't carry a hybrid but threads like this make me wonder if I should. I'll answer your question instead.

To answer your question and, to go back to why i still don't carry a hybrid, I haven't found one that I can hit any better than my three iron. I've been a good long-iron player for a long time and I haven't been able to justify the purchase. My normal "smoothed" 3-iron carries about 210 yards. If I want more distance off the tee or to a par 5, I can comfortably reach back and carry it 230-240. I never found a hybrid I could hit any further than that. Also, I've always hit my long irons high so the hybrid has no practical advantage there. Soooo, that's why I don't carry a hybrid. To be fair, I haven't tried any of the hybrid models of the last 1.5-2 years so maybe I should take another look?

Gone thru the rigamarole of hybrids from my dunlop locos, to hibores to rescue duals to the G10 but I went back to my 2i 19* cleveland hibore as my one only hybrid. Funny thing is when I got my MX-900s a couple of weeks ago, its seen less action, thanks to the 4iron.

I picked up the Taylor mad in my sig on a steal , but thik I need to get rid of it for something with a stiffer shaft, the reg flew tends to propote a snap-hook when I over-swing.

After testing the following hybrids:

• Nike Sumo2 3i (20°)
• PING G10 3i (21°)
• Cleveland HiBore XLS 3i (22°)

i decided to buy the Ping G10 Hybrid. It gives me the confidence I need with the shot, and I will especially use it from the fairway or the rough (i'm a rookie, this will be my first hybrid)

I play a 3 and 5 hybrid made by snake eyes
to me they are so much easier to hit than a 3 or a 4 iron so i had to switch
i used to play a callaway heavenwood but i switched from that because it had a bad fade to it.

I just switched this year to the Adams Idea Pro 3i and 4i...I like them very much as long as I don;t try and overdo it I carry the 3i about 230-235...If I really go for it I carry it about 180 out and 40 yards off line ....they are pretty good from the rough and the fairway.....very happy overall.

I do have a bit of a gap between the 5 iron though and my 4 hybrid......195-200 5i and about 220 with my 4i hybrid.....I just choke down a litttle on the hybrid and it seems to work out ok...

I cant get my sonartec in the air, I hit it long so its nice on longer par 5's but I cant hold a green with it

[illskillz700]

Yes, I use the taylormade rescue mid 2 and 3 hybrids. love them straight and long.

[GOLFSALOT00]

i have a ping g 10 21 degree and love it its great out of any lie and i can work the ball left and right like there is no tomorrow

[cbe_golfer]

I had a hybrid last year. I took it out this year since I am hitting my three wood five wood and 4 iron a lot better. So no hybrid now. Now is a keyword there.

I had a TM Rescue Burner 19 with a reg shaft and hooked it too much.

Picked up the Sonartec 19 & 21's here on TST and LOVE them. the 19is quickly becoming a go-to club!

Taylor Made TP Rescue, 19*.

[blurry]

no hybrid for me . I love the 2 iron

[bogeyhitter25]

I haven't purchased one yet. But I used my friend's hybrid, and I seemed to hit the ball nicely.

[bogeyhitter25]

I was looking online, and I just saw a Nike Slingshot Hybrid for only $40. I'm thinking about purchasing it today along with a TaylorMade R7 Draw SW.

Man I have a Maltby 4i Hybrid - this thing is unbelievable, quickly becoming my favorite club. Easily 200 yards, you can really grip it and rip it and still get great accuracy from 200+ yards.

I have three in my bag. 3, 4, & 5 iron lofts. They are great because they get the ball in the air and I can hold the green with them.
