i am taking the plunge, i am a 6.2 and as recently as 4 years ago was a 2. I now have 2 kids (only time for 1 round of golf a week, no time for even a bucket during the week) and i have probably hit a total of 5 good 5 irons in the last 5 years, i originally bought a 3 and 4 hybrid (bought the 4 because i knew i would probably want it some day) - I love these clubs, so, last weekend my buddy and were lamenting that our 4 hybrids were too much club for our layups on a par 5 and decided i was being stupid not to try the hyrbrid 5, it does feel like giving up and i personally think that i am just swinging too hard with my 5 iron and that is why i am hitting off shots but i am really excited for my newest bitch club, but i was also quick to move to the Claw putting grip, take ego out of your golf. I know that most touring pros now carry a 3 hybrid, these guys have hit golf balls every day for decades and i am going to feel bad because i am thinking about going to a 5 hyrbrid? BTW - I am 40 now, when i was in my late 20's - 2 irons off the tee all the time, never thought about it. Crazy game.
