So, due to there being another lh player at the range a couplemof weeks ago, and me only having a 7 iron with me that session, I was kindly given the opportunity to try out his 5h (Cally B&B OS with a lite F2 shaft)...oh boy, oh boy, oh boy :clap:
Whilst I still hit a decent distance I do find myself struggling with even a 5 iron nowadays; give me a 6 and it will go past my 7 but a 5 brings a range of shapes, contacts and distances that go beyond the implications of the word "dispersion".
This 5h gave me back a natural progression from the 6i
Trying to track down one (left handed) proved impossible, and it seemed a pretty expensive club (for me) as well, but I finally found an XR 2015 in immaculate condition with an R shaft for sub 50 and took a gamble.
2 sessions at the range later I'm still delighted and looking forward to laying up to about 175/180, or par 3s with that sort of yardage, again.
So, the question is, am I just late to the party and everyone else has got one already? I do accept that it's not really the done thing to suggest that hybrids are real clubs in disguise, or that anyone should appreciate 25 degrees of loft on anything more than a 6 iron, but I'm really interested in whether people do have them hiding in their bags and find them as ridiculously easy to hit as I have (so far)
