cksurfdude Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Not sure how you can correlate lie angle to player ability. Clubs are fit to the player. If a club is too upright when the player takes his stance the toe will come off the ground and close the face making pulls more likely. Too flat and the heel comes up and the face points right. There is no standard for lie angles from club model to club model much less from manufacturer to manufacturer. See this demonstration, when a player lowers and raises the handle to setup to the ball. The lie angle doesn't change, just how the club is positioned https://www.instagram.com/p/BfIvm8jF0iz/ Speaking in generalities I would say the draw bias if hybrids is more related to the head design to counter the fade most players have with longer irons. From what I remember when looking at hybrids a while ago most had a closed face angle. As hybrids have become more popular you are seeing more models with a square face. Yes - "Pro" model hybrids generally have an open face angle compared to the standard/non-pro versions (and generally come with a heavier shaft, too). Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ...

foreverdank Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I feel I have given hybrids enough of a chance but these things don't work for me. I'm at a loss as to why. Perhaps I just need a fitting but I've tried small head hybrids; larger, almost fairway wood sized hybrids; both stiff and regular flex shafts and I've not found one that I am consistent and fully confident in. I have full confidence in my 3-wood as well as my 4-Iron, but that spot in the bag between the two I'm lost. How many of you have switched from a hybrid to one of the new driving/fli hi irons that seem to have become pretty popular in the last few seasons? For now, I'm just shafting up the 3-Iron again and it's going back in the bag.

NiftyNiblick Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I'm with foreverdank. When hybrids didn't like my game, a lofted fairway wood and a forgiving driving iron worked out best for me. Nothing wrong with hybrids, of course, but if they're always going to be fighting you, there are alternatives. We played a long time before TaylorMade introduced those orange FireSole Rescues. foreverdank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy The problem, Foz, is that we're supposed to do those things to play a "golf shot," not to hit a straightforward routine shot. My perpetual gripe about modern equipment--what good is advanced technology if they can't do much about fit? Fit isn't just what shaft to choose from launch monitor data. Fit is correct lie and face angles...first. The major OEMs have no interest in following the lead of boutique clubmakers who do offer changes to lie and face angles...and loft as well.

Sluggo42 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Another thing to realize, is that we are talking about 200 yard shots. I don't care what club you are hitting, there are a lot of things that can and will go wrong. I doubt anyone is a steady green dancer at 200 yards, I know I'm not. It's a natural reflex to swing “harderâ€, and bam, you're already in trouble. Every push, pull, draw, fade, is magnified due to the extra length. I don't think there is a “magic†Hybrid, that's gunna go straight every swing.too many variables in live play. Most complaints are “user interface†problems.

RoverRick Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I started the summer with one swing, after 18 months absence. I had 3 wood, 3-5 hybrids. Then I got injured and while I was recovering, still on going, I had to change my swing. Suddenly the hybrids and FM's that I was loving were going hard left. Of course the problem was me, not the hybrids, but I have now gone back to MP FLI HI's and regular irons on graphite shafts to replace all of these. I like the forgiveness of the hybrids, but the misses with them are simply too costly. A miss with the iron like clubs for me will be a shorter, sometimes much shorter, shot but still straight. While a mis-swing with the hybrid will go 30-40 yards left and often into a hazard or off the planet. Plus the less forgiving clubs cause me to be more conscious of them and make a better swing.

I have had to stop teeing it up and hitting like a fairway shot on the tee. That's something, GB13. I don't tee anything up high. About a quarter to three-eighths inch high for woods (which is why I don't hit a big body driver). Down to the tee's cup for irons. The problem with driving irons from the fairway, in my case, at least, is anything but a near perfect lie is a killer. The lofted fairway wood is better for me from the fairway.

My driving iron shots are ugly this way but the end up in the fairway, a pretty good distance, so whatever works I guess. I tee up all of my other irons though, so I might just be crazy...
