The past few weeks it has been my most consistent club, other times it has been the club I won't even look at on the course. Either way, the solution is almost always buy more gear. What 9 wood are you looking at? I had a love/hate relationship with all my hybrids. Finally, I gave up and went with a 7 wood replacement for my 4 iron. I've been happy ever since and then I also learned to use the 4 iron giving me different club choices depending on the course I'm playing - low running shots (4 iron) or high "soft" landing shots (7 wood).

And leaving it out isn't an option and would leave me with a 20-25 plus yard gap. Maybe im just looking to buy something but I know my confidence with that club is at an all time low. I'm right there with you.

barney_bogey Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Stopped my Dick's today in the way to the first the get a Bionic glove; with the warranty of course. The best was open so I whacked a few but the ball flight and distance seemed off to me. Having a garage sim, I know about what to expect out of my hybrid swing more or less. Finally I saw the issue. I told the fella working there that the unit was juiced and he said there's no way. Pointed out that every single strike was recorded as 1.45 efficiency. No one is that consistent. Not even Prison Scotty. To his credit, he looked shocked and agreed with me. Something is awry. Really liked that Apex 4 hybrid though.. Might have even bought it except it's to cover a gap and with that monitor, I have no faith in any of the outputs. That said, this is an amazing golf glove.B buckpillar, cksurfdude, Rob Person and 6 others 7 1 1 Quote Odyssey XG #9 Cleveland CG15 wedges 54/58 Takomo 101 irons PW-4 Rescue hybrid 3 M6 3W & Driver Bridgestone e12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use my 4hy for a lot of different shots. I just don't know if a 9w or even a utility iron could do all the same job.
