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 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.

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.

    • The course is playing tough. We’re only about 50 miles away. It very windy here and going to get worse. They’re all dressed like it’s the British Open!
    • Have posted in a while or practiced for that matter. Dealing with a few medical issues. But I was able to practice and film today. I’ve played 5 times this year. Misses have been pulls or heavy shots. I feel this has a lot to do with my lower back issues. When I feel good, I get good rotation and I hit the ball well. Today I felt good. Hips and lower back felt nice and flexible. I worked mainly on the hands feeling from the top. The club head should feel like it’s going down and away from the ball and target at the start of the downswing. The right knee should stay a little flexed at the top. These are the only swing thoughts other than high hands (arms going up) I’ve been focused on. I did PW, 6 iron and Driver today. Here is PW. The hands look better as does the knee in the rehearsal. The knee gets more straight in the actual swing.   My left arm is not straight at impact, which it has never really been. But that’s not the focus of this practice.   6 iron looks better than last time. Driver also looks better than last time. Playing tomorrow. Hopefully my body will cooperate.

    • The way to practice this is not at full speed, even if you do manage to "change" something. But no, not quite like that. That's a late lift, but you still have the early roll, and you stand up too much in that swing (likely in trying to "lift" — the "lift" is relative to your torso, not the ground).
