i think the the jacked up lofts i really don't need a 3 iron anymore. i hit my 4 plenty long. and if i need something off the tee i can hit a 4 and not have any issues.
Can you control the trajectory of your hybrid? I couldn't and that's why I hated them. Honest question here.

Period? I beg to differ. Hybrids are way easier to get airborne I suppose, but I've always had a much higher dispersion rate with them.

Not sure why 3I are even part of a standard set any more. Sure, a very small percentage may like the idea better but I would wager that for 95% plus, the 3I is a dinosaur. I have a 3I in my Rapture V2 set. Can I hit it? Yes. It is better than a 3H or 7W? Not even close. And the V2s are pretty easy clubs.
In 2012 the 3I is basically a speciality club. It will always have a few fans, but it really should not be a standard part of a set any longer IMHO.
I respectfully disagree. As of today, 4 of the top 5 ranked players in the world still carry a 3-iron in their bag every week so I think it's fair to say that the 3-iron still has a place in the "standard" set. I agree that most amateur players do not have the requisite swing speed or skill to effectively play a 3-iron but for those that do, it is a very useful club, especially in windy conditions.
Also, I think if we were to discard from the "standard" set any club that most players cannot use effectively or for which there are "better" alternatives, I don't think we would be left with much to play with. What percentage of amateur players can hit their driver with any degree of effectiveness or consistency? Their fairway wood? Should we all use anchored long or belly putters because they are more effective than standard putters?
