I have been thinking of getting a 5 iron in one of these as well. It looks like it is a winner for you.
it really is. Kicking myself fo not doing this a long time ago

Have folks kept these in the bag?
I hit the previous version at PGASS and really liked them. For whatever reason I am able to pound hybrids, but am prone to disastrous mishits with irons.
I didn't buy the original HBs because of watching money fairly tightly and wasn't sure if I can truly handle the appearance. The steel shaft version of the HBs appears to be completely sold out everywhere so the Turbo or used HBs/Altitudes would appear to be the options now if going this direction.

It flys just like a hybrid. My 4 hybrid carries about 200 yards so the 5 launcher carrying at 185 is right on point. I weakened mine a degree to 24*. I would imagine a 4 Launcher is 20*.I was wondering whether anyone has compared these with “normal” hybrids such as the TM Sim Max, which are still rather different (being longer and just a different “style” of club).
How do the 4 and 5 HB Turbo hold up against a 4 and 5 hybrid in terms of carry and playability?

Driver ss is 102-105.Thanks. I have to try that.
May I ask how fast your swing speed is? I would have thought the shorter shafts bring different results.
Driver ss is 102-105.

Loft is only one aspect to distanceThanks. Looking at the lofts of the lower HB Turbos, I think a slower swing speed may still be better served with "classic" hybrids? (Which then makes me wonder again, whether I should try a 24° 9-wood instead of the 4-hybrid...)

That’s exactly my point. A “classic” hybrid with a longer shaft may have the same distance, but may still be easier to get airborne thanks to a higher loft = easier for a beginner?!Loft is only one aspect to distance
I haven’t played any hybrid that is as easy to launch as this. I love hybrids and I have hit a bunch. I have never owned a 5 hybrid but I cant believe it would be easier to launch than this. Maybe that’s just my experience but I highly doubt it.That’s exactly my point. A “classic” hybrid with a longer shaft may have the same distance, but may still be easier to get airborne thanks to a higher loft = easier for a beginner?!
I kinda miss these, they were definitely fun
Shaft length is going to be much longer on the traditional hybrids. Also if you are playing steel iron shafts the weight on the hybrid will be much lighter. Both will add distance.
When I gamed the Altitudes (same 6i loft as the Turbos-26*) I also played a 26* hybrid at -1* and the hybrid still was a club longer.
yes, they were...
