Hi guys. Joined the forum today & looking forward to using it!
I play off 14 but for the past 12 months or so have been plagued with a shank problem. I've had lessons, seen the problem on video, and pretty much worked it out now. Apart from a fault in my swing which had gradually crept in the main problem was in my head.....I felt I was going to let one fly each time I took an iron out of my bag!
One solution I found was to use my Cobra Baffler 6 iron replacement 28 degree loft. The hosel is on top out of the way, so no chance of hitting a shank! Total confidence, enjoyment and results. During the worst of my shank problem I used this baby for almost every shot, choking down to the hosel to play a 90 yard par 3!
So what about higher lofted hybrids?
I see that Cobra are bringing out a T Rail Baffler range, with a 7 Hybrid 31 degree loft. Looks great but £120 is a bit pricey, and will I see much difference in distance between the 6 and the 7?
Cobra do a ladies Baffler Rail 7 iron replacement 34 degrees. I was wondering if it would be possible to change the shaft in this club to a mens? Would this work? I like the idea of a bigger gap between the two clubs. I thought the 34 degree ladies baffler would be more like an 8 iron.
I see that an American company, Thomas Golf, do a complete set of Hybrids...right down to sand wedge. I wouldn't go to that extreme but I like the idea of a confidence boosting hybrid 9 iron from 100 yards in. The problem here is I wouldn't buy any club without trying it first. Any one any experience of these clubs?
I'm playing really well at the moment & hitting my short irons beautifully. But right in the back of my skull is still that nagging doubt, will the next approach shot to the green nearly kill someone on the adjacent fairway?!
So, any help, advice, suggestions regarding high lofted Hybrid clubs?
