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.

    • Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.
    • So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon 
    • It is a known technique, similar to the armed forces box technique. They use a 4x4 , in through the nose and out through the mouth. I use it to go to sleep fairly often. It works for me
