202 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Is the hybrid adjustable? Adjusting lie angle (flatter) would help. essceebird and Shapotomous 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy_APH Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Common(ish) problem with hybrids. Some of the Callaway Hybrids I have heard many guys have had success with and I am pretty sure Ping has the flat lie with theirs. For what its worth I have the Titleist H10 (have to double check the model), but that in the flat setting is super hard to turn over. Really impressed with it!

Shapotomous Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I have the same issue trying to upgrade my self assembled 90's era Quick Strike hybrids. I have tried a few over the years but keep going back to the QS's because of the left miss that pops up with the potential replacements. Fortunately I have them in a few different lofts so as I lose distance from year to year I just swap in one with a few degrees less in loft to get the same distance. The 23* used to be the 200 yard club but over time its now the 18*. I think I may need the 15* for that shot this year with some swing challenges that came up over the winter. That is the lowest loft QS I have so I hope it works for a couple more years.

I don't have that problem hitting the equal in an iron so just hoping that there is a hybrid out there doesn't always make a hard left. I would like at hybrid’s with adjustable hosels that have a flat setting (Titelist, Ping, PXG) or ones that have movable weights ( Titelist TSI3 and TSR3, Cobra King Tech, PXG). If you really struggle then one with both (Titelist or PXG) will give you the ability to try which works better for you or both for the most anti hook setup you can get. I will note the PXG can go all the way to 3 degrees flat as the Titelist can only go one. Thought the Titelist does have the ability to adjust loft and lie separately which is nice. I personally just purchased a used PXG 0317 Gen 2 used hybrids as even in the standard setting I was not missing left as much as others I tested. Now I will try out the weights and lie settings at the rang to see what’s better for me.

russtopherb Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 A hybrid that doesn't hook for you may actually be a higher lofted fairway wood. That was the solution for me for a long time, using fairways instead of hybrids. Then some lessons fixed what was causing hybrids to hook, and now my 5h is one of my favorite clubs Quote In my Big Max hybrid bag: ST-X 10.5* Kai'li Blue R Flex ST-Z 15* Kai'li Blue R Flex ST-Z 4h Linq Blue R Flex Halo XL 5i-DW CBX 54* & 58* ER5 Tour S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parshooter36 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I have had issues with hooking hybrids in the past as well. My Mizuno CLK hybrids are very consistent, I am very happy with them.

Jcrob Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I had the same issue with my hybrid. Went to a fitter and after trying many different models, shafts, loft/lie settings etc. Ended up with the Callaway UW. Could still turn it over but the spin was lower and didn’t have to worry about the 30 yard hook. Quote Golf Junkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PXG is by far the hardest for me to turn over. It likes to go right, completely unlike my other hybrids that can sometime be hook machines.

Shankster Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Last year during my fitting, I was handed a PING G425 in the flat setting. It was the most anti left hybrid I’ve ever hit. And it was an absolute bomber. They have two different flat settings too, I could have went to the BIG - and probably had a fade machine. I assume that the new version is very similar. edingc 1 Quote Driver: Callway Rogue St Triple Diamond 9* 2 HY: Mizuno STZ 230 16* (set to 13.75) 2 Iron: Taylormade UDI 17* Irons: 2019 Titleist T100S 3-PW Wedges: Vokey SM6 54* and SM9 48* / Taylormade MG3 TW 56* Putter: PING Anser Ball: Pro V1 Bag: Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnosil Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I am a big fan of the Titleist hybrids and the Callaway hybrids seem to perform well for me during MGS most wanted testing.

Wib081 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 If you can find one in decent shape the TaylorMade M3 has a movable weight in the sole that could help.

heavygolffeels Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Callaway 2016 Apex, or the Apex Pro in more recent releases. Upgrade stock shaft to something heavier to keep the path from getting left. At least 85 grams, but dont be afraid of 95-105. That might allow you to cut 1/4 or 1/2 off the shaft which make the lie flatter as well. Or had some headweight. Heavier, shorter, flatter is the recipe.

On 4/8/2023 at 4:56 AM, 03trdblack said: Cobra King Tec hybrid and slap the heavy weight into the toe. Following up on @03trdblack, The Cobra King Tec Hybrid is the droid you're looking for. I also own a Callaway Apex Pro Hybrid which has virtually no offset, but the Forged Tec gives you more optionality to find the flight you are trying to achieve. You have two major options to take the hook off the table: You can move the heavy weight into the fade setting. You can adjust the hosel to actually put the toe down so it's less upright. I don't hit hybrid every round (too much spin during windy days), but when I do, it's always my Forged Tec. It also helps that it looks fly as hell!

KOG Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) Yep, the king tec is a good solution. If you want to save money, the Adams red and put the weight in the toe is the same idea. I have a red pro titanium 20 degree, which seems kinda rare, but its a fantastic club with a larger profile. The typical red seen below is a smaller profile but just as long as current hybrids and you can get one like new with a Matrix Tour shaft for $50 or so. They used very good shafts with these as it was the last hybrid adams put out. It was aimed towards better players who like to shape their shot, but its very hard to turn over with the toe weight in place.

Kenny B Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Several years ago I did a forum test the Ben Hogan VKTR hybrids against my TM RBZ hybrids. I have never had a problem going left with any club; my usual shot is straight with maybe a slight fade. I could not get the Hogan to go straight; always sliced. So if you can find a used one, it might be a fit for you, and the price might be right. I ended up giving the Hogan hybrids to my BIL who does hook and he loved them... still plays them.
