Hi. I'm new to the forum but have been golfing for around 35 years. As my name suggests I am somewhat of a tradionalist when it comes to golf, courses, equipment, etc. However, recently (about 2 years ago) i was sucked into the "Hybrid" hype. I bought several and played them, then just recently I went back to a standard 3-pw, uw, lw, driver, 3w, 5w configuration and have been playing much better. I play perimeter weighted irons from Ping (G15's) and cannot figure for the life of me how someone would not be able to hit the modern 3 or 4 iron with its perimiter weighting, moi, etc.
I'm starting to get the feeling that hybrids are more beneficial to low handicap or players who still use traditonal "Blade" irons, hence the problems with the 3 and 4 irons. I do not see the benefit when you have the newer (ie, game improvement irons)
Anyone feel the same? I'm just curious. Or maybe I'm just nuts.
