Strong hybrid question

[Oddsocks]

I won't recommend the a12 pro 16degree. Need to be an awsœme ball striker to get the best out of it.

Or a semi disabled poor excuse for a single digit golfer, complete with a short flat swing and .......


...... It's just bloody awesome!

I currently use a 19 degree Callaway x2 Hot regular shafted hybrid. With a decent swing it goes up to about 210 yards. My 3 wood is a Mizuno MX 700 and goes up to 230 yards

I'd like to find a hybrid that could replace the 3 wood but it needs to be as easy to hit as the Callaway but as long as the Mizuno - any ideas?

Try the XR 5 wood tomorrow - I think you may be pleasantly surprised....

Have you been following me ? :rofl:


Shaft seems too long and the head is too small on a club that is going to be hit a long way. I've since moved to various other options but the r11 3 wood has been a revelation for me. Hits a lovely safe fade.

I can understand the OP's logic but I would think a strong 4W or similar may give a better option. Just my opinion and if the OP is happy with his choice and can control the strong 2H then I hope he finds what he's looking for

Thanks guys, plenty of suggestions and things to consider and try, I'm in no hurry and intend to consider the alternatives that are available before I rush headlong in!

You keep believing that while clutching at cat2....

Short and straight not long Wild & West

After yesterday's round Baz I will have just clutched at Cat 3 for my next comp!

Had a look around a few of the manufacturers and there is a lack of options. Found a 17.5 degree Titleist http://www.titleist.co.uk/golf-clubs/fairways/915H.aspx bit most are standard 3H (18 degree upwards)

Ive always found 16° hybrids inconsistent. Prefer a 3 wood

 

[ArnoldArmChewer]

Hybrids under 16 degrees are hard to come by. Is there a particular reason that you want one over a wood?

I prefer my hybrids as they are lower launching (17/20 degree) but am trying to find a low launch 3 wood too.

Have you tried a Callaway x hot 3 deep?

If it makes you feel better I'm climbing at a steady rate.

Not at all Baz, but I hope that you are well now and then your golf should improve!

It's not the health mate.... It's the dam swing! :thup:

You can mend your swing but you need your health. I hope things are a lot better in that respect

Sounds good Baz, avoid Thursday tho!

I went to Callaways Kings of Distance and they didn't have any strong rescue clubs on show but they did have a 3 wood in the XR range that was as easy to hit and, whilst the 40 mph winds made it difficult to assess true distances, it was just what I'm thinking of for the bag

I shall have to get my pro to mock one up for a proper test
