Hybrid questions - HELP!!

[Nm243008]

I currently game an older Titleist hybrid. The 910F.....its been my go to club and im very confident hitting this club......my silly question is.....do Hybrids really change that much as far as technology goes? Do you feel im leaving yards on the course? I really liked the Callaway smoke hybrid I just saw but was unable to test (no available space)......Im not sure I liked how the TSR3 hybrid looked and the Ping G30 looked wonky to me at address.....The callaway VISUALLY looked the best to my eye......

 

any help would be appreciated

Does your current hybrid do what it needs to do?  If so, why do you want to change?  If not, what is it lacking?

From a vast array of costly experience my suggestion would be unless there is some compelling reason to replace a club that you are hitting well - ie. you've gotten new clubs around it and it no longer fills the gap that it was filling - don't change it!  Think about it - let's say you do hit the new one farther - now you may need to replace something else that you hit fairly well and something else until you reach the top of your bag but then you have a gap to the bottom of the bag and all of a sudden that one club becomes 13 and they you have a bad round and doubt creeps in and you wonder why you ever started down this trail but you traded in those clubs that you hit well.....

 

I've almost never followed the advice I'm giving you and I have a room full of clubs to prove it.

its old......with drivers I tested, I never could justify the spend of $700 to gain 5 yards over my current gamer.....

It does what i like, but wondering if modern hybrids have a more tech and much more distance in them over my current 910.

Testing inside tells me nothing and i dont have an outdoor test facility near me......wondering if testing a hybrid outdoors is worth an hour drive

My opinion is that driver is about maximizing distance; hybrids are for hitting specific distances.   Newer hybrids are probably a little more neutral instead of draw biased…although I think that is more how people setup with hybrids.   I currently have a Titleist 915 and 816 hybrids which are 9+ years old and I have no intention of replacing.    I’ve tested hybrids each year in most wanted testing and I don’t see much distance gain, but I don’t look for distance gain.

I went for a hybrid fitting and the fitter really liked my TS hybrid.  Good distance, spin and forgiveness.  It works well for me.  He actually talked me out of replacing it.  That’s a sign of a great fitter.  Never mess with what’s working.

I've never been able to hit mine properly and usually resort to the 5W I don't know if I'm standing to far away or what it is I never feel comfortable

I have the 910 Hybrids I recently acquired a few months ago. 19⁰ and 22⁰. I definitely need more range time with them but so far really like them. Hit them better than the woods too. I'd say if they work well, leave em. However,  if they are worn down to the point that you are losing control and distance,  that would be when you might look to replace them.
