Hybrid

[ScienceBoy]

Hybrids for me are super sensitive to path, come too far from the inside and they are impossible to hit.

I’m working on hitting down more and coming less from the inside, when I do the hybrid is far easier to hit than it’s long iron equivalent. When I don’t the long iron seems to work but the results are not great, but at least not a flat out top.

I think 19 would be a #3, 22/23 would be a 4

I agree. My Ping G is 19 degrees and is a 3, my G410 4H is 22 degrees and my 5H is 26 degrees

Don't focus too much on the number of the club, but look at lofts and gaps - you may find that you may hit a 4 hybrid 190 yards carry, but then hit your 5 iron 160 yards - but if you look at loft and carry as the factor you'll fit those hybrids in better.

I've got a Rogue #3 iron replacement. It's like cheating... whatever swing you put on it, it works. So good I've just got the three wood.

Yeah that's why I just changed to a 4 wood

Makes my top end of the bag

10.5 driver
17 wood
19 hybrid
22 hybrid
23 iron
26 iron

And so on

It's true, but following that same logic all the way down, my 7 iron is my 6 iron equivalent.

Thanks for all the replies. I just ordered a 19’ hybrid (Yonex - see other thread). It will replace my heavenwood and will hopefully fill the gap after my 23’ 5 iron and give me a 180-190 shot into green or 190-200 safe tee shot
