Just wondering what's everyone's preference on hybrids are I'm torn between a 3 or 4 hybrid but thinking due to lie angles it would make more sense to get a 3 as it fits the gap between my driver and 5 iron however sure I read somewhere that it's a lot easie using a 4 ? Anyone got any advice?
Cheers
 
I have both in my bag, hardly ever use the 4, but the 3 is my get out of jail card, off the tee, out of the rough and on the fairway
 
You've actually got space for 2 clubs in that gap (still leaving space for a Driver) and I've gone for 2 hybrids - a fairway type 2 (17*) and a 'hittable from rough' 4 (21*)

Seems to cover the bulk of conditions I'm likely to encounter.

Good Luck with the search.
 
It's what your looking for I would er toward the 4H it's would give you 3 iron sort of distance but may still leave a sizeable gap between 3 wood and 4h but if your comfortable with it, if not the 3 would potentially give you a better fit but is harder to hit. Other option is to drop 60 wedge and put both in the bag?

I'm with Foxholer on this, I too use 2 and 4 iron hybrids. 2i awesome from tee and fairway. 4i launches higher and lands softer great from rough lies.
 
Love my 4 hybrid, probably my favourite club behind the 8iron. Just got the same model in 3 iron for 20 quid on eBay! Bargain!
 
I have both a 3 and a 4 hybrid, I use my 3 for 200+ shots and my 4 for 180-200 ish. I like to take the 3 off the tee when fairways are tight or it's not along hole. The 4 I use more from the semi rough. Love them both.
 
Everyone has a different arrangement. I have 1/3/5 woods, a 3 hybrid and then normal 4-SW.

However, I do carry a 5 hybrid quite a lot around my home course. There are 5 or 6 holes where I tend to find myself in 5 iron range but require a high shot to get over trees. I wouldn't normally use such a club. I tried a 9 wood for a season and it was way too high.

I don't find the 5h any easier to hit than the 3h, (they're both easy..?!) so I wouldn't personally say "go for the 4". My advice to anyone looking to fill a gap is to go up a club then learn to hit it both distances. If I have 4 iron distance, I hit a 4 iron. If I have 4 iron distance and need to get the ball high, I'll use the 3h and grip down a bit. Simples. :)

You might want to rephrase that bit Hendo.....:whistle::thup::rofl:
