Why are hybrids easier to hit than long irons?

Hybrids are a bit fierce, they can go a very long way and compared to irons, they are way tougher to put on the short stuff.

My view is you hit them like irons they work, you try and sweep them like a wood they do not.. when i first got a hybrid i was trying to sweep it like a wood and it was horrible, as soon as i put a more punchy iron swing on it thing went like a bullet.

Had a callaway 1 hybrid before it snapped in 3, that thing was crazy long
 
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. :)

Given that the 'slicing hacker' is the target purchaser for most TM products (because that's the greatest percentage of the golfing population), it would seem that you've identified a flaw in TMs marketing philosophy! No wonder it slipped to selling (just) less than $1Billion worth of product! :rofl: :rofl:

Most golfers hit weak slices, so most clubs are aimed at them, makes sense really

I am sure Game Golf could give us a lot of nice stats on the average male driver I know they said 250 yards for Scratch golfers
So the average high 80s guy, Just over 200 mostly missing right seems reasonable. Weak slicers
 
I am probably going to be castigated for this post, but what the heck. About 4 months ago I bought a Dunlop 21* hybrid, and whilst I couldn't initially get on with it, eventually it became a good tool. I then decided I wanted a 24* hybrid to get me out of the rough and give me some distance. I tried a few of my friends clubs, but none had as good a feel. A short while ago I spent the £10.50 from sports direct and bought the 24* version of what I already had, and it is brilliant. It has a regular graphite shaft, and feels really solid when you strike the ball. Of course, Dunlop is not a brand most golfers want to be associated with, but honestly these hybrids are good !!

It's probably as well made as anything else out there. If it works that's great, and for only a tenner! You can't go wrong.
