Now for what's it's worth. 

I have been doing some tracking of what clubs I actually hit in my bag. 

And way down at the bottom of the list was my 4-iron. As a matter of fact, most of the time I have that kind of distance I hit 3-hybrid and cut it. 

So I did some thinking. I asked myself this question? If there was a hybrid there would you hit it more than the 4-iron? The answer is yes.

Now my question to you folks is which one? The reason I say that is the CBX hybrid doesn't go beyond 22°. My 4i is 24°. But I need more versatility. So do I go with like a 25° Rinky or do I try to find a 24ish° Exotics?

I would like about gaps when you chose. If you can hit one with a launch monitor, you will get a better idea.

Its either the Exotics 5 hybrid or the CBX 22*.  If the club doesn't fit squarely between your 3 hybrid and your 5 iron then you probably want it a little closer to your 5 iron, right?  So go with the Exotics 5.

I have a Nike SQ Sumo 4 hybrid. That's longer than my 5-iron and shorter than my 20° but it's just too damn close in distance to the 20°. There's is like 9 yards in it. And the Nike Rinky is about 18 yards longer than the 5-iron. (I haven't really checked if I can hit it a cut with the Nike Rinky yet.)

I love my Titleist 818H1 hybrid. They are available in several lofts and adjustable 1.5 up an .75 down I think, so you should be able to get to tweak into the sweet spot.

I'm thinking of sticking to Exotics but the Titleist and Cobra ones were a definite possibility. Even if it was like an F6 or F7 Cobra.

I haven't carried a 4i since 2010.  In its place, I carry a 21* Cleveland Halo w/ steel shaft.  It tops out around 190, but I usually hit it in the 175-183 range.  It's definitely a "go-to" for me, due to the fact that I feel comfortable with it in my hands.

    • Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.
    • Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs. 
    • Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
    • Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm. 
    • Slight digression on the way to my point. Back in the day there were a lot of people who said that Tiger won because of “the Tiger effect” where people pushed too hard and made mistakes trying to catch him and fell by the wayside. I thought that was BS. It was just that he was that much better than them. I don’t think anything has changed my mind on that.    The hype about Miles Russell is very limited. I’ve seen nothing about him outside of some fairly hardcore golf websites. But I think that the reason those people are talking about him is because he is very good. Same as Tiger. And like I said he just broke one of Tiger’s records. That gets hardcore golf fans to pay attention.
