6-9 irons

Because they add some thing else to people's game

They give a different ball flight , allow people to shape a shot different , allow someone to use it on lies where it's tough for irons to be used

But it's not a fact to say they are easier to hit when I know people that can't hit one for toffee but can hit a 3 iron

Clubs are always changing as the game does

Sorry it is a fact.

For a pro to post this is pretty sad Bob.

Golf is your livelihood but, in the grand scheme, you aren't very good at it. There are plenty who play for fun who have a knock once a week that'll kick your arse for you with or without shots.

Would you like it made easier for you! Perhaps YOU need to practice more?

I only play a few rounds a year for fun so nothing to prove, no handicap to chase and I've done my fair share of practice over the years.
Someone earlier posted that they couldn't hit a 5 iron off a tee so were looking at buying a hybrid, that's what prompted this thread

Do you tell your pupils that have hybrids instead of long irons that they are dumbing the game down?

I think you're a bit off on this one fella. I don't think they struggle, but use hybrids because they are easier to hit and more forgiving. For them, why take the chance?

If we're being honest. Tour professionals can hit any club they wanted, and hit it extremely well.

Yang had a bag full of hybrids, others carry very few. Some will alter their bags to fit a particular course.

What's your take on the new(...er) versions of hybrids that are more akin in appearance to the iron they replace?

What a stupid post!! While we're at it let's bring back Model T Fords and see how Hamilton drives, or leather footballs with laces in, Ronaldo wouldn't be a pro
It's 2015 ffs, why not just use equipment available and enjoy. Ahh the good old days when scurvy and smallpox was rife

The point was golf is now easier some people find that hard to admit.
