I feel like this is sacrilege, but I'm not sure why.Ditch the covers. I don't bother with a cover on my 3 wood or hybrids. Just driver and putter and even that is largely just to stop clatter. Liberate yourself!

I have a 3 hybrid 19 degree. Direct swap for my 3 iron and goes further.I am absolutely sold on these things.
My mate gave me a titleist 915 4 hybrid 24degrees a few weeks ago. Been hitting it like a dream. So much better than any 4 iron I've ever owned.
Went on the hunt for a 5 hybrid 27 degree to replace my 5 iron. Quite rare to find a 915 27 degree but managed to find one in Scotland and get it sent over. Most of the 27 degrees I found were ladies clubs. This one has a regular shaft which I will swop out soon for a stiff. Tested this club today. Found looking at so much loft on a hybrid a little odd on first viewing down by the ball but after two goes I was sold.
Hit the 27 about 20 times today and everyone went screaming off on a nice flight with minimal effort. Put it up against my 5 iron and its a touch longer but so much easier to hit and surprisingly more accurate. This was something I thought I would be giving up with a high lofted hybrid.
I honestly can't see my 5 iron ever making a return to my bag. Always been one of my weaker irons as I dont launch them high. this is a real game changer for me. I had identified the 5 & 4 iron length shots to be a real weakness in my game. All I can say is time to find a new weakness.
Anyone else playing these cheat sticks?
Out of interest with your irons do you hit down on the ball, take a divot after the ball?

I take a divot with everything, even driver at times.

That's what I do when I'm carrying.....I only put something on to stop the clacking. Once the ground gets pretty solid again (it's close) I think I'll go back to my non-powered push trolley and then I'll take out all the extra crap I carry in case there's a typhoon or terror attack or something.Ditch the covers
My bag now has an 18*, 21* and 24* Titleist hybrids 
Hit a few of the 24* today, 160 Yard carry, but arrow straight also.
For £150 quid, it seemed a no brainer

What a height on it
I’m surprised more Pro’s don’t use them, they are definitely easier to hit and we all need a bit of help

I think a lot of them are using more 5 and 7 woods - because they get the same level of height and soft landing but a bit more distance
It’s always worth remembering YE Yang won with a load of hybrids
