I noticed on line that some are 4H 3H 5, what are the differences between these clubs. I also heard that some people use the hybrids to replace their 3 and 4 irons any truth to that?
Actually Scooter that is not always the case. The idea for the hybrid (developed by TM) was to take the thought behind a fairway wood, shrink it down and put a shaft length comparable to an iron in it to have a "hybrid" between a fairway wood and irons. In reality what it came to was that most players were replacing their 3 and 4 iron with 3 and 4 hybrids or close to comparable lofts.
Many hybrids nowadays have shaft lengths very similar to the iron length of their same value.
So if that's the case then what makes the hybrid better than an iron, is it just clubhead size, bigger sweetspot?
I think Scooter is kinda right though JB, give most amatuers a 3 iron and a 3 hybrid and just about all of them will hit a hybrid higher and further due to a lower CG, plus the fact that they are easier to hit!! If people could consistantly hit their irons they might not see a difference between the two. But a lot of ams have problems hitting a long irons
Hybrids are soooooo much easier to hit than an iron, it's not even funny (especially out of the rough). I carry a 4 and a 3 hybrid all the time, and I have a 2 that I fiddle around with. I'm contemplating a 5 for when my 5 iron decides to act up.
I got my first hybrid in 2003 or 4, played it until last year when I got my G10 hybrids, which I absolutely love. I didn't even order any irons longer than a 5 in my current set because of them (see sig)
Go hit some, you'll see.
Start right here and you may have your answer by next week...hehe
Our hybrid shoot out started today.
Official Hybrid Shoot Out Thread - The Hackers Paradise
I love my hybrids. I carry a 2H and 4H. I still carry a 4i as well; the 4H replaces a 3i as I hit it further than my 4i. The 4H has a longer shaft than the 4i, but I don't know whether the lofts match up. Differences that may explain the fact that the 4H didn't replace a 4i may include the longer, graphite shaft (irons are steel) and different brands.
Choosing a hybrid usually boils down to personal preference, but I doubt that you will be disappointed with whatever you get as they are all a lot easier to hit blob than an equivalent long iron banghead.
What the heck is the difference between the H and I models?
H - Hybrid
I - Iron
All this hybrid talk has me anxious for the shoot out!! Just got my Nickent 5DX today! woooo
How do you enjoy it so far? Also when in the hell is the shootout going to be over?:confused2:
