what hybrid

[dune19670]

hi everyone, just looking to pick your brains.
ive been looking to upgrade to 1 new hybrid to replace the 2 tatty ones in my bag at the moment, a 19 deg ram and a 21 deg ram, i normally only use the 21 deg.
im thinking about a quality used one for about £60 - £70, and was wanting your advice on which one to go for.
thanks in advance for your help

So many out there so difficult to give a definitive answer. Try before you buy and see what suits

I am sure the 'lads' will want to know the type of shot you use them for (tee, fairway, rough).
Your handicap, swingspeed ( or 7I distance)
your current clubs and what your swing is like.

ok,
i want to use it from the tee, fairways & light rough.
my handicap is 14 which i have just put in my signature.
swingspeed dont know, but a 7i goes about 150 yrds.
current clubs are cobra ld speed 1 3 5 woods, ram irons ( upgrading to something better soon as funds allow ) tm rossa monte carlo putter.

For what my opinion is worth, try a Ping G10, great club and nowhere near as ugly as the current generation. I have tried and owned loads of hybrids and this is the only one that I have stuck with and would never change.

I tested 32 hybrids for golf magazine a couple of months ago and absolutely loved the Taylor Made Superfast and ended up putting one in my bag. Great club, great feel and goes miles

I use the one before that, the Burner 09. a very smilar club the the Super Fast just a little bit heavyer. great club.

You can get an MD Superstrong for £60 new. Not tried many hybrids but for bang per buck the MD cannot be beaten*.





*In my opinion, naturally

Which magazine?

 

[BROOKIE]

I think the Taylormade hybrids are fantastic,off the tee,
from the fairway,inspires confidence

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I have a TM Burner 3 hybrid (08 model) and it is great although I can sometimes slide it too far under the ball in the rough but I guess thats the same with any hybrid. It is pretty reliable and I've plenty of confidence which I guess is half the battle

Nike sumo hybrid is awesome. You can pick them up new online for £50 each.

 

[BROOKIE]

shot my best ever round today 82,thanks mainly to my hybids
it could have been even better except for some woeful putting,not one double,I was thinking,this could be a 79 but bogyed the last 3 holes..we can only dream

very true and it comes with a pretty good set of reviews.

for TM money the other one that gets rave reviews is the Ping G15 hybird, its UGLY as all hell but they say once you get over that its awesome.

Have a look at this video before you ebay. I think I would be hard pushed to ebay a 2nd hand maybe fake hybird over this. It would have to be a good ebay deal, and I see less of them than more.

The profile and weighting in this club are so much like the Burner 09.
