Hey guys, first time posting here, just wanted to pick someone's brain a little as I recently bought a 2nd hand 19* Hybrid off Golf Bidder as I felt like I needed to bridge the gap between my 3W (13.5*) and my 4 Iron (I believe its 23*) so 19* Hybrid seemed to be a decent, cheaper option. Give it a whirl and see what happens you know?
I used it for the first time this weekend and I was averaging just over 240yds with it, which is the same average as my 3W, and only around 10yds shorter on average than my Driver - but with the ball landing consistently in either the centre of the fairway or slightly to the right of centre.
My 3W was my previous most consistent club off the tee and i'm just a bit confused as to the yardage, given what appears to be a decent difference in loft. I'm still a complete beginner having only played for 2 years, so my understanding (albeit a little naive i'm sure) was along the lines of higher loft, shorter distance, lower loft (to an extent) longer distance. So to be hitting my Hybrid as long as my 3W and only a little shorter than my Driver seems strange.
Has this been something anyone has had happen to them before? Was it more a swing issue or a club issue? As the end result leads me to think that there's something not quite right as I should really be hitting my 3W maybe 10yds+ beyond the Hybrid and the Driver another 10yds+ beyond the 3W but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I went to the driving range yesterday and same results. Driver launched lower, 3W a little higher and Hybrid even higher and yet the Hybrid was easily keeping up with them.
If anyone could shed some light on this i'd appreciate it as it's confused the hell out of me and i'm not sure if this is something I should remedy with lessons and range time or by a change of equipment, cheers
