I have a 2.0 covert tour, and a 910h. The 910h seems to go much better, just a weird shape to get used to!

RBZ stage II in my bag comes off the face hot and flies.
That said the Calloway Xhot 2 has been getting fab reviews.

Im going to demo a cobra bio cell and jpx ez at the weekend. Im wanting one around 16 degree and the bio cell is 16-20 degree. Although the jpx isnt adjustable
the bio cell has some smart thing on the sole that keeps the head square at adress when it has been adjusted

This month's GM (Darren Clarke on the cover) has a hybrid showcase with some great buying tips, give it a read.

Not having a dig but can anyone explain the purpose of an adjustable hybrid. Surely that is the same as having an adjustable 5 iron in the bag. I can, to a certain extent, understand the benefit of adjustability at the top of the bag when you may be looking for distance in certain conditions but I am less convinced when it comes to a club that needs to fill a certain distance gap.

I have a TM RBZ Stage 2 Tour adjustable. Great club. Long, straight, forgiving. Nicely balanced.

No idea.
I bought a RBZ stage 2 adjustable.. Adjusted up 1.5 degrees. Hit it.. It went ok. So have left it alone since....

I adjust the loft on mine depending on how Ive been playing. If Im struggling off the tee and need the hybrid to hit on the par 4s etc I have it delofted as low as possible. If however the 3 wood is behaving then I tend to add a bit more loft to it and have it more in the gap as it is intended to be

There's a few reasons you may want to use the adjustability in a hybrid:
1 - As a game improver as you can grow with the club (ie reduce the draw bias)
2 - In windy conditions you can reduce the loft, which is much easier than changing your swing to hit a punch.
3 - If you play lots of courses you can tailor you yardage for certain par 3s if they fall between your current set-up.

910h, 19° at factory setting A1 for me is a hook machine.
I've se the face with the same loft, but as open as it will go. Get a nice push draw as opposed to a raging hook!

Exactly. Mine is adjusted so the distance is precisely between my shortest wood and longest iron.

Exactly the same with me. I have mine set 1.5* open and get a lovely draw flight with a solid shot. Its been sent like that since 2010 and is a "go to club" whatever that means.
Not a fan of adjustable anythings. Too much of a tinkerer and always the club's fault if I hit a bad one. I prefer a simple to hit forgiving model and the G25 works nicely for me

Real reason now the marketing bumff has been touted. 1 head 1 shaft and multiple settings = lower costs for manufactures and an easier fitting process. Just giving the Cobra amp range as an example.
3 hyrbids available. So only need 3 different head types yet covers 16* right through to 25*. Ignore the draw settings and you have 12 different club set ups from 3 heads, 3 shafts and a wrench. Get it fitted, set it and leave it alone.
