Fongle Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I think it definitely comes down to preference. I use a Cobra Utility 2i, and I absolutely love it. Can't stand the sight of a hybrid at address, and it gaps between my 3w and 4i, and works well in windy weather with it lofted down to 16°. You'd have to claw it from my cold dead hands to take it away from me too, there's no better feeling than absolutely crushing a ball off a long iron, it feels like the world almost pauses for a moment before the ball just rockets off of the face. rwinfield16, jbern, BallsLeon and 4 others 7 Quote Driver - King SZ 1w 7.5° w/ Aldila Rogue Silver 110MSI 60x Woods - King SZ Big Tour 3w 13.5° w/ Fujikura Pro 65, King SZ 5w 20° w/ Tensei CK White 70 Driving Iron - King Utility 2i 16° w/ Project X Hzrdus Black 85 Irons - Apex '24 Combo set - 4i Pro, 5i-8i CB, 9i-10i MB w/ KBS Tour V 120 X-Stiff Wedges - MD5 Jaws 52° - S 10° grind, 56° - C 8° grind, 60° - C 8° grind w/ Dynamic Gold Spinner Tour Issue 115 Putter(s) - O-Works 2 Ball Black, Big Bertha Warbird, Special Select Squareback 2.0, Red X2, Bullseye Original Flange SC, Bullseye Standard Flange SC, OG Bronze Anser, Method Midnight 007, R.Mendralla 8802 Link to comment

Big moose Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 When they came out with the hybrids Jerry Kelly said it was like stealing money because they are much easier to hit, and I agree with him. I have a 3,4 and 5 hybrid in my bag and if I need to hit a fairway on a short par 4 it's my 4 hybrid every time. Djnz and Wib081 2 Quote Frank musolino Link to comment
Splatt Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I rarely use my 3-wood, and my hybrid is my go-to if the driver isn't working too well, or if it's a short par-4 or dog-leg.

Snowmonkeys1310 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Tried driving irons many times in an attempt to convince myself that I can make them work because I think they look awesome, but haven't ever found them to do as good of a job as a hybrid. Hitting a driving iron off the tee is a lot of fun. The issue arises when you've got a 220 yard approach shot and you don't have the ball teed up as hitting a driving iron out of the rough, off a side hill lie in the fairway, etc. is not a lot of fun. The exception is going to be if you are trying to work the ball or are really keen on getting a low ball flight. In those instances you will have more success with a driving iron. An additional exception would be for players in the scratch or better realm. The question to answer is, "Why am I not using a hybrid?" If there is a really good answer to that question then, by all means, go for it.

Typical course conditions that you encounter matter when choosing the right tools for the job (grass type, fairway firmness, height of the rough, prevalence of side hill lies, etc.). That's a bit nerdy though so if it's working for you then that's awesome. As for brands, it depends on what you want PING is the best all-rounder. The G430 is so, so good. Had the G410 before that and it was great too. Titleist would be my second choice, but they have 3 different lines based on what you want TS1/TSi1/TSR1: Marketed towards slower swing speeds, but that's unfair. It excels at getting the ball up and is the easiest to hit. TS2/TSi2/TSR2: Middle of the road choice that's plenty fast but still has some forgiveness TS3/TSi3/TSR3: Definitely for better players and would be the closest to a driving iron of the bunch in how the ball flies and the ability to work the ball; however, there is a lack of forgiveness that detracts from why you might opt to play a hybrid in the first place...

Shrek74 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 For me it's hybrids over utility irons. Mainly due to the fact I'm trash with long irons. I'm getting ready to start with a swing coach so hopefully that improves, but the look at the hybrid and the extra pop I get makes it more valuable to me. I put away my 4-iron for a hybrid for that reason. I'm all HZRDUS in my woods/hybrids, so I'm totally on board for that part of your decision.

Big moose Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 My first few sets of clubs had 3 and 4 irons in them, my swing speed was not high enough to properly hit these clubs. The only time I used them was to punch out from the trees. Then the hybrids came out and what a game changer those are, I hit them 100 times better than the long irons. In my opinion they are the best clubs ever made for us mid to high handicap players. Albatrass and IndyBonzo 2 Quote Frank musolino Link to comment
Brooky03 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I haven’t tried a driving iron but I’m not eager to, either. I tend to hit my hybrids well, especially now that I have some ‘pro’ (anti-hook) hybrids in the bag. Hybrids are more versatile and should be longer loft-for-loft, at least in theory. I don’t play in strong enough wind usually to worry about keeping the ball low. IndyBonzo 1 Quote Link to comment

Tango_Bogey Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Recently made the switch from a Titleist 505 driving iron to a Stealth 2, 3 hybrid. Matched them side by side on the trackman and on the course. Blinded a few friends to all the data, and every single one of them chose the Hybrid. In the end it came down to the numbers. Take them both for a spin and see what you like and don’t like. I agree with personal preference, as long as the numbers sing the same song.

Byrnzee Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I have had a 3 hybrid in my bag for as long as I can remember. I typically like hitting it off the tee on tighter fairways and using it to attack reachable Par 5s in two. However, sometimes it can be inconsistent, especially off the fairway. I recently played with someone using a driving iron and he was so consistent with it that I started questioning whether or not I could benefit from owning one. Long story short... I found a Ping iCrossover on Facebook Marketplace for a really good deal and decided to pull the trigger. I still think I'll be using the hybrid more often, but I think it will be nice to switch it out for the driving iron depending on the course, wind conditions, etc. Looking forward to testing it out once it arrives!
