I'm looking for a 25 degree 5 hybrid to go with my Adams A3 boxer 19 degree 3 hybrid. I can't hit the 3 hybrid off the deck so I use it to tee off on shorter par 4's and it works great. For some reason but was hitting some 5 hybrids at the store pretty straight about 175-180 carry with a 20 yard roll. I don't want to spend more than $100 so the Adams A3 boxer is out (picked up the 3 for $60 used). Can someone give me some suggestions on good alternatives that are easy to hit? So far I'm thinking

Sports Authority had the Adams A2 OS Hybrid in 5 iron for $79 bucks here locally. Online they dont list them. If you have one near by, you might want to stop in. I grabbed one.

Just say NO to hybrids. I'd rather work to become more accurate with my woods and long irons.

Why? Technology has changed. I would much rather have a club that I can hit longer and straighter. Do people still want to use other older equipment?

As of now, I've got no hybrid in the bag. Although, I've got to admit I'm extremely tempted to get one. I've tried hybrids before, and I thought I would get over them, but they've seem to have stayed in mind. I've got no problems with long irons, so there's no need for a change. I am however, thinking of changing the 5 wood for a hybrid. It's been a thought for quite some time now, although I'm still not quite positive about it ...

I've got a Taylormade Rescue TP(3 iron) and I love it. At first it was extremely hard to handle because it is made for better players but once I got it down it became my best friend. I'm really surprised how well I can hit the ball out of deep rough with it.

3 Wood: Ping G10

I have a steel shafted 4 that came with my MX950's, really started to like it.
So last night I found an Adams 16* Tour Proto used and was hitting the heck out of it, so I snagged it. But, I think I will have to return it as the shaft is xstiff and I am just not hitting it straight w/o over compensating. Dang! So I am going to try and find another a little higher loft.
As of now, I'd like to have 3-5 hybrids. Not sure if I will gof or matching ones or just try to find various ones that work.

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
