I think I said that they are easier to hit in certain circumstances, not necessarily all the time.

More to the point, why worry, use what's best for you.
Quite! It would be nice to get away from this 'real men use long irons' and 'hybrids are only for women and old men' thing.![]()

There not, I don't carry a hybrid, I just don't get on with them, I hit a 4w well off the deck and then I'm down to a 4i.
I was always told you should swing a hybrid like a long iron, not a wood, but I just always hooked the damn things, although I've not tried one for some time now and would like to think I've improved somewhat since struggling with then, maybe I need to give one a go again?

I think you have to be careful about your choice of hybrid, because some of them seem to aimed at hackers who slice, and have too much offset and a closed face. These may cause a hook, so you need to find more neutral ones. My TM RBZ 2's are OK.![]()
If I took the forum seriously this double standards would make me explode
Whats the rationale here, get rid of the comparisons you don't like but keep the ones you agree with!
I only said some of them, and for hackers who slice they may be ideal. I believe that Rory McIlroy and many other top pros carry at least one hybrid.![]()

I think that Cat 2 and 3 players are more likely to have a controlled fade rather than a outright slice. Again, it's a case of finding clubs that fit you. One of my golfing mates is a fader of the ball and uses an offset driver. I have had a go with it and could hit it OK, but with a tendency to end up in the left hand semi-rough. I can't imagine that an offset hybrid is any worse than an offset iron.Classic stuff
What about cat 2 or 3 golfers who slice, could they use an offset hybrid or are they just for 'hackers'

I suspect you're deliberately missing the point
How can you object to phrases like 'Hybrids are for women & old men' which you clearly don't like yet only a few posts later on you used your own derogatory phrase 'offset hybrids are for hackers who slice' ?

I understand that about 90% of amateur golfers are faders or slicers of the ball, while the other 10% including myself are drawers or hookers. Nevertheless I have no problem hitting hybrids or fairway woods. I do try to select non offset/closed face ones though, which isn't always easy!

Big Monty is a complete hacker according the del. :rofl:
