Recommendations for a 20(ish) degree hybrid

Its hard to go wrong with a hybrid, I struggled to hit them only because of a major swing fault. Once that was sorted they became really easy! I just got an off the shelf stiff old R11 rescue, perfect as a driving iron off the tee! Soon it will go and I will get in a Cleveland set from 3 wood down to a 3 or MAYBE even a 4 iron replacement (I do like my 4 iron a lot tho).

In other words, any quality hybrid is good, just find the one that suits your set and your eye. Remember the graphite shaft adds distance, I only needed 2* of loft more than my 3 iron to make it fit, I am glad I got an adjustable one!
 
Do any of you think it's worth getting fitted for a hybrid?

As a (proper) Custom Fit fan, the hybrid is probably the last club I'd get specially fit for.

That said, they can be a bit 'hit and miss' at times and the weight of the shaft is often the cause - light ones are 'go left' machines for me.

Best to try a shortlist out on a Launch Monitor - paying special attention to Direction and Dispersion rather than Distance.
 
Surprised no one has mentioned Ping yet. I have an i20 that is great. Apparently the new G25 is even better, haven't tried it myself yet though.
Got to be worth giving them a try anyway to see if they suit you. Good looking clubs too, if that's important. Especially the i20.
