Monthly poll 1: how many hybrids do you carry in your golf bag?

[palindromicbob]

2.

21 and 24* MD 2010 Seve Icons. Got 3 for £99. Don't use the 18* at the mo but am considering it.

 

[Siren]

Just the one for me Titleist 910 19 deg

 

[Blue in Munich]

Anywhere between 0 and 3, depending on where I'm playing and what I think I might need.

15 degree adams super hyrid which is like a 3 wood. slightly large head on it.

22 hybrid for the light rough.

dropped my 19 degree hybrid for a 2 iron. same length but lower flight. the best bit is that it is a lot more accurate.

 

[Tommo21]

Never used then before last year...........Two Titleist 910H great clubs. I can hit my std length 21 degree further than my 4 iron easy and I have a second 21 Degree with a longer shaft, made it up myself, and it fills the gap to my 3 wood perfect.

I would be lost without them now.

 

[AMcC]

I don't have any, have a G10 in the garage, but have been hitting the three and four iron ok,so the G10 is staying in the garage.

Just the 1 from me, a 19 degree adjustable TM Rocketballz stage 2. I don't actually use it very often though unless I am struggling off the tee.

 

[Slab]

2 = 22 degree & 25 degree but a good 40 yards between them

If I started with empty bag I'd put three in with better loft spacing & without a 5w needed but my bag was built up rather than starting empty so clubs were bought to fill gaps rather than replace)

2.

17*
20*

No 5W. 3W maybe sacrificed for the 17* to allow for another wedge.

 

[kid2]

I carry 1.... A 21° Wilsonstaff fybrid.... I use it from 170-190 Mtrs...

 

[mcbroon]

Ever tried them?

To say you/they don't get on is fine and I know a few folk where that's the case, but to write then off as 'dreadful things' is narrow-minded at best. Same as saying that using blades, or only 1 wedge, is the 'proper' way to play imo.

Ask Tom Watson what has kept him competitive. Or Luke Donald which club will be the last one he'd change. And Y E Yang won the US Open winner with plenty of them in his bag!

You're absolutely right of course, Foxholer, but I also agree with Captainron. I'd prefer not to use them. It just feels wrong to me, somehow. Illogical but true.

I currently carry a 20* and have a 17* in the house but I recently bought a 2i off jimbob.someroo to replace the 17* and am awaiting delivery of a 3i to replace the 20*.

How easy/hard is the 15 to hit compared to a 3 wood?

Since I've been playing golf 'seriously' I've never really used a 3 wood regularly so it's quite hard to say. I'm using the Adams Idea Super which if you compared it to the 3 wood is probably very similar, just has a slightly smaller head.

I think it's shorter in length than most 3 woods so you don't get as much yardage but it's one of my most reliable clubs.

 

[JazzyJust]

I've got one which is a Cobra Amp Cell 3 Hybrid fits nicely between my Cobra Amp Cell 3 Wood and my Cobra Amp Cell 4 Iron.

I find a hybrid nice and easy to use, they give you lots of confidence even off the tee when your driver or 3 wood are being sprayed everywhere.

 

[LIG]

I thought this was the wedges Poll and clicked 3. Doh!
Actually, have two hybrids inthe bag.

 

[North Mimms]

I carry three, but I'm a girl...

 

[BROOKIE]

Must say I wouldn't be without my Tour Edge hybrids, just bought the xcg4 17 and 22 degree to replace the mizuno mx 700s

 

[Linnets]

I have 2 which replace my 5 & 6 irons because my worst shot with both hybrids gets me in far less trouble than my worst with the irons.

 

[Bigfoot]

I have a 17 deg and 20 deg Ping G25's. I can hit my 4 and 3 irons but the ability to hit from the rough means hybrids are the better all round option.

 

[Imurg]

I saw a 31 degree G25 hybrid in a shop today - it looked more like 61...!!
I'd fear for my nose !

 

[Garesfield ACE]

1 for me my TM 4 hybrid/rescue 22 degrees........between my 5 wood and 7 iron(lowest iron I use in the bag )
