  1. Ok, Newer HB Turbo Vs CBX 4 shots with each, 3 times tighter dispersion, longer and tighter on distance and height, higher, steeper decent. Look at swing 4 (with the hybrid iron) 15 mph of club head speed missing, same launch angle, lower height, same distance. Now look at 8 (with the CBX), total disaster, barely got airborne, 30 yards missing. From here
  2. I disagree entirely, the hollow head is more forgiving of open/closed hits. You hit a path (intentional or not) that would result in a hook/draw/fade/slice and it goes straight(er) than it would with a cavity back and far straighter than it would with a blade. Shots hit out of the bottom go higher, fats aren't punished as much, thins don't hurt (hollow club head) That is the very nature of the hollow head, lower and further back COG etc be it these "irons", a hybrid or a modern driver. If it wasn't the case why would people say they're harder/impossible to shape shots with? I agree if you swing on a perfect path, with the face at the angle you intend every time, and hit ball just before turf every time you won't benefit one bit from these clubs. This is true, they are easy to chip with (massive sole), but it's a bit like the Tiger 3 wood bump and run putt from the fringe, they jump of the face if you catch it perfect and it's very hard to get a feel for that. And somewhat alien if you've spent years using normal irons around the green.
  3. So, you NEVER miss a par 3 green left or right? They're just more forgiving. Trust me, they are straighter, hit 50 shots with a hybrid "7i" and a real 7i, the dispersion will be tighter with the hybrid. Not trolling, really, but if don't play off + something ....
  4. Because the "irons" in question (my HiBore's") were £130 and are heavily chipped anyway. But yes, I do agree, even I would struggle walking down the fairway with 13 head covers!
  5. How many have tried them? For a season, on the course?
  6. I'm going to guess here that most of us do not shoot par or less. And we take all the help we can get with driver, fairway woods (and I'll include long hybrids and rescue clubs in there, 'cause that is where they belong). So why not irons? Why do we shy away from real help? How many of us have even tried an "ultra game improvement" 7, 8 or 9 iron? The insperation for this post was me buying some old Cleveland HiBores, the originals from 15+ years ago. Which TBF, in general, 99+% of the time return a better result than a brand new set of Cleveland CBX's. For every given swing path from full on duff, fat or thin to slight miss-hit the ball goes higher, longer and straighter. Why, oh why, do we not want this help?
