Dbo Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 DBonilla norcal 15 handicap i play a 3w and the have a 5i. Never played hybrids most important would be accuracy.

jddaigneault Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Jordan/CA 13 Cobra F9 A consistent miss. I try and fit my clubs to have a consistent right miss, as I prefer the soft landing of the fade spin. The unpredictable left miss is a current pain with most hybrids I have played.

knarf Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 On 6/11/2020 at 5:06 PM, Golfspy_CG2 said: Testers Wanted (4) One of the most frequent complaints you hear from better players about hybrids, is that they are "hook machines" no matter what some players just can't keep them from going left-for right handed golfers. While hybrids and their natural tendency to go left is a blessing for most high handicappers, it can be a big turnoff to the better player, and keeps them from putting a higher lofted club in their bag for those long approaches. The compact head and deep face design is the preferred shape for better players and helps with a penetrating flight. To fine tune in your flight, the hybrids come with two adjustable weights a 5g and 20g weight that can be positioned for maxim fade or draw bias depending on your preference. Perhaps one of the most unique things about this line is that it comes in single lofts all the way from 16 to 22 degrees, so you can really choose the ideal loft for the gap you are looking to fill, as most companies offer them in 3 or 4 degree gaps.

Cg1614 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) Chris New Jersey 13 handicap I currently play a Ping G 3 hybrid I look for turf interaction and forgiveness. It is one of a few clubs I don’t slice, but I can pull hook it. I don’t believe this hybrid is the best for me and that is why I look forward to a full bag fitting this year. I need to revamp my bag except for 8-GW. Tour Edge is one of the brands I want to try especially for price point and it’s similarities to other brands on performance. I am currently test driving the Ben Hogan PTx pro irons. Edited June 13, 2020 by Cg1614 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
