swing better for a certain type of club?

[shewy]

I went down the range today and hit a few clubs, been struggling with the hybrid in recent seasons, the pro tells me after watching a few swipes that my swing is more suited to an iron rather than a hybrid. He goes and fetches a taylormade rsi udi 3 iron, bang right down the middle, we take it to the simulator, 185 yards, my rescue is going 160, go outside again and same thing. Fair to say it's now in my car boot!
Anyway can you have a swing more suited to a club type? I've always struggled with woods and loved my irons. So much that I'm thinking of going driver 1 iron.

i thought you were supposed to put the same swing on a hybrid as you would an iron?

See what your thinking is, but i would not advise getting on 1 iron, Unless you were a very good ball striker with plenty if CHS.

i tend to hit mt hybrids like i would a fairway wood,with a more sweeping motion as compared to an iron swing which i hit down on .

I don't have any confidence over the ball with a hybrid anymore, I feel though with an iron I can get to the back of the ball easier

Got to say it's the same for me. Struggle with hybrid but get on with my iron (apart from the 4 iron off the deck) not quite mastered it.

I always take a divot with my TM rescues.

I prefer my hybrids. I feel that the same degrees gives me a clubs distance. That is to say that I hit a 4 hybrid as far as a 3 iron, but I find it far easier to make the same shot. That said, it took me a while to get used to using them. Having watched a video on the use of hybrids, they can be used like an iron or a wood, and it's very much down to what works for you.

Yep, TBH i find a hybrid so easy to hit its almost like cheating.my 18 deg goes way further and is easier to hit then the 2 iron i carried before ever was. though i still have one handy for playing Fortrose in the summer with a 30mph cross wind... 190 yards carry with 50 yards run never getting more than 2o foot off the ground:rofl::rofl:

My hybrid and I have a hate/hate relationship at the moment. I can't hit it. I play it like an iron (as told to do) but really struggling. Funny thing is in practice I can do it. As soon as I hit the course, the "magic" goes
