Ditching the hybrids?

[USER1999]

Took out the two hybrids, and went back to a single 21 hybrid, and a 4 iron today.

4 bbb comp today. played great golf. Best I've played for ages.

Hit a couple of low drawn 4irons that were just awesome. To die for. Into wind, low, punchy, exactly the shot you can't hit with a hybrid.

Driver is just rubbish, but for 16 holes was 2 over par, just the two holes were shocking. That said, down 18 I striped it off the tee, middle of the fairway, into an unplayable lie. What? Ball two foot above my feet, buried in three inch deep grass, in a bowl, on a down slope. Seriously, two foot in any direction, I'd have been fine.

Hit a great hybrid ( ok, they are good for something!) but I'd allowed for a draw I didn't get. 4 bounces down the road (tin cup style) and OB in the car park. Great.

Over all, pretty good though.

Iv only the 1 also Murph.....
I go from 3 wood to 21 degree Hybrid to 4 Iron... I wouldnt be without my 4 iron.... I love hitting it..... I can hit low puncy ones also when i need to with it..... Even trying that with the Hybrid fells much harder....

Ditched my hybrid this year too. Didn't like the high flight. Put an inch on my 2 iron but favour the lower flight of the one iron. They had been in my shed for around 15 years (ping eye 2 +).

Glad I didn't get rid of them (or I would have had to buy one from Ebay.......for about a fiver these days!)

currently the 2h/17* is out of the bag, 3w, 4h, 4i for me

No matter which hybrid I've used I always end up hooking them sooner or later...
I think I've finally given up on them.

Gone from 17 and 22 degree hybrids to my old Rescue Mid 19, so 4i is also back.

Haven't hit it yet. Waiting for a nice frosty morning to thin one off the 1st!

Yeh I carry a 21* 4H and a 4i, they do different jobs, the 4H has a bit more distance and flight for attacking greens whereas the 4i is useful for chasing the ball into some greens. I must admit that I don't hit the 4H great, strangely I find my 5W easier to hit. Don't some people refer to them as "cheating sticks"? Well they don't seem to be for me!
