19* hybrid with 4h shaft; 4 iron still 😱 Thinking of going with a utility iron. Mark, are the utility irons that much different from normal? Ie, Wilson FG Tour V4 utility vs C4 4i??
I am 71 and just put hybrids in my bag, 19 ,25 and 31 degree lofts. Only one fairway wood which is an adjustable that I set at 17 degrees. My highest iron is my 8 iron and this set up works well for me and takes pressure off my game and results to lower scoring.
I carry a 19 degree hybrid but also a 19 degree 4 iron. Generating to much height with the hybrid in windy conditions I change to the 4 iron to get a more drilled flight
Thanks Mark! I liked how you described ball position. Best explanation I've heard. I play a 4 iron, 19 degree hybrid and honesty I have been hooking the hybrid so much that my confidence has been shaken. I've been working on addressing this and I'm going to seriously consider your comments, so thanks again. Cheers from Canada, eh!
TS2 19 & 23... love them! Always been a hybrid player, my irons stop at 6iron. It was the same in my previous setup. Hybrids are so easy to hit & make the longer game certainly easier for me.
When in a tournament and I absolutely need to find a fairway on a shorter par 4 or 200+ par 3, I hit a 2-hybrid off of the tee... a little bleeder cut to eliminate one side of the fairway and prevent the “big miss.” It has done wonders for my game under pressure. It has replaced my 2 iron that used to play the same role of providing accuracy over unpredictable length. Once upon a time hybrids were taboo for golf purists. Not as much the case anymore. Dropping the ego helps to drop the handicap. Great video Mark. Spot on instruction as always.
Usually carry 2 hybrid clubs (19 & 23). And occasionally only 1 hybrid and bringing a sweet little Cobra 5 wood. Usually judgement comes knowing if the rough is tough or gotta play a longer course.
Long iron normally but started to use a 22 and 25 degree. Ben ross., brand new with head covers £30 each. No brainier!!! 25 degree is close to 5 iron but much easier to get out of the rough... lovely. Great vid guys xx
Adams 4 hybrid ,Mizuno 5 hybrid - I hit it down on the ball a bit - works mostly. I often choke down on club as well ! My hybrid is my second shot club. Thanks
I game a 17 degree hybrid. It's a Ping G15 which I recently purchased after watching older videos of you with your nearly identical G20 hybrid. I like the offset. I play it just like a long iron. It is very easy to hit with that chunk of metal behind the face.
I have 5 iron (23 degrees), 4 hybrid (21 degrees) and 5 wood (18 degrees). I replaced my full bag of clubs 6 weeks ago and I'm still bedding them in. Once I have a good data set captured by ShotScope I will assess whether I need to add a 5 hybrid or whether I can go down the shaft a little on the 4 to close the gap to the 5 iron a little.
I listened to you pledge to hybrids Mark. I then tested them at a demo day and was sold on the ping g410. I've got two 19 & 22 degrees loft .I'll never look back at a 3 or 4 iron. Thanks Mark.
I'm 48 now. I'm starting to use hybrids more. My 3 iron is out, replaced by a gap wedge. I've been using a Taylormade Rescue Dual from 2006. I just bought a M6 19 degree. Just figuring out what shaft works right now. When I do this will replace my TM Rescue 22 and my 17 degree TM Rocket ballz 4 wood.
I replaced 4 and 5 iron with hybrids years ago. Thinking about replacing the 6 iron as well. Would enjoy more info on hitting hybrids from different lies and circumstances. Enjoying this series. Keep up the great work Mark!
I am new to hybrids. Dropped the 4 iron (the 3 was gone years ago.) and have 19 and 22 degree Pings. Not consistent enough with them but when they work, they really work. Setting up a driving net and will be working on hybrids and Irons. I got the Swing Caddy SC300 as the reporting tool so should be able to dial things in a bit. I had read simply hit the hybrids like irons but I liked your multifaceted approach better. Also liked your recent swing speed relative to distance and handicap tests. I'm 68 and my driver speed is in the low 90's so moving up to the standard mens tees has helped my loss of distance. I'm playing quite a bit and the index ranges from 5-7 so I'm able to score reasonably well despite the short knocks. I'll be in UK in May so hope to drop by Torquay and maybe play it. Clear it with Dan ... would ya.
Great video. I think these little lessons on how the equipment is designed to work can really help the guy trying To get better, I like that you never talk about swing mechanics or how your swing should look but focused on how the club needs to be delivered and then let the player figure out their swing part themselves
Thanks for your video and I will try your tips. However, I have pretty much given up on my 19 degree Ping hybrid, and now prefer my 4-iron because I am more accurate and consistent with it (I do give up about 5 yards). It helps that my 4-iron is a Cobra F9 (19.5 degrees) which is really forgiving and gives me a high ball flight (using Nippon 950 GH Stiff, 98 gr.).
Mr Crossfield, of the TH-cam videos that I've watched on hybrid play, this one is by far on top, at least for this amateur. Been binge watching the course vlogs as well. Muppet Tours are some fun entertainment
I struggled to hit my hybrids this past season but had them in the bad for chipping around the green, 21°&24°. Recently just got a 5 & 7 woods. Things to work on during the winter.
I use 23.5* and 19* Cobra F7 hybrids. From there I go up to my 18* 5W. I will at times replace the 23.5* with my 5 iron depending which course I'm playing. I find that I get more loft from the hybrid if I know I'm going to need it.
I enjoy these short tips videos, even if the content is familiar. Golf is a game where there are always so many variables to consider it's always good to be reminded. I game a 20 degree hybrid and use it in every game. I wouldn't be without it!
I have got 19 and 22 degree hybrids in the bag just getting use to them as the long irons had been becoming inconsistent so decided it may well be time to try a change 😊
Put a 23° hybrid in the bag beginning of the year, love the flexibility it offers, top end I then either game a 4 iron or 7 wood depending on weather and course conditions
I have a bouquet of head covers popping out of my bag. I'm gaming 6,4,2 and just replaced my 3 wood with a 16 degree 1 hybrid. I love em and yes I would like to see other videos on hybrid techniques. Hybrids dont shame them, game them.
I game a Titleist 23 degree which I use for a 6 iron replacement and a Titleist 20.5 degree for long iron replacement for the gap in between fairway wood , I find the 23 degree more versatile from fairway, rough or open it for a medium par 3.
Hello Mark, I own matching 2, 3, 4, and 5 Adams hybrids but I only use two at any given time. On my own course I use the 3 and the 5 and on Links courses I use the 2 and the 4 (no trees to go over).
Ive got both.....a TS3 19 deg lofted down to 18.25 and then I have a U500 3 iron. The reason I carry both is quite simply because my home course is manufactured links course.
Currently I use a 19 degree and a 21 degree hybrid which is lofted up to 22,5 degrees, my irons start at 5 iron which is 24 degrees. I do have 24 degree hybrid which I change out with the 5 iron sometime but I like having the 5 iron for low shots around and from in trees.
My set is Titleist - 917 driver and 3 wood; 716 TMB 2 iron, MB 3 iron to PW; Vokey 54* and 60* (and putter). I haven't owned a hybrid, and I am not really used to them. I would not be confident to hit a low shot under tree branches. I am happy to tee off on long holes with the driver or sometimes the 3 wood, so I don't need a hybrid for this. Occasionally not having 5 wood or hybrid causes a problem with lush rough, and then I have to accept hitting up short with, say, a 6 iron. I currently have a Mizuno 825 - 3 hybrid (19*) on loan from a friend. I was using it instead of the 2 iron to get more carry in the (recent Australian) winter. They are very easy to hit, however the overall results to date are relatively inconclusive. Time will tell.
22 26 and recently 30 degree 22 takes my 5 wood out of play goes the same distance but easier to hit taken 5 iron out of my bag. Do tend to hit them all with right to left shape which I do struggle to hit with driver but they are so much easier to hit and far more versatile than long irons never been able to hit a 3 iron.
Best recent rounds played using only 18, 22 and 25 Cleveland hybrids. Kept in play all day. 18h wants to draw, others fade. Bizarre, but at least draw helps with tee distance, while fades with stopping on greens.
I'm using both a 2 and 5 hybrids. I use the H2 for long par 5s and I use the H5 whenever I'm not hitting my long irons well. My H5 is like my confident club.
Thanks for this video, I love my k15 hybrids but have never been exactly sure how to play them and as such am not consistent. Please do more of these instructional videos. Love it.
I play, and love, my 2 hybrids. A 19 and 23. I think they are my favourite clubs. I have to be careful about setup to avoid offset helping me draw the ball too much.
That's probably where I've been going wrong as I always thought hybrids are closer to iron length (with lower c of g) than wood length, so have been playing them as an iron. Will try your tip and see if I get better results!
Great stuff. I really need to go into the used bin at my local shop to find a hybrid to play with!!! Sounds to me that the ball position I'll have is probably close to where my 5 Wood is played.
Play a 3,4, and 5 hybrid....took my 5 iron out, but had to put it back due to yardage gaps. Sadly, had to remove a gap wedge to keep to 14 clubs. Love my hybrids, but still up in the air about what to remove in order to put my gap back in. Maybe my 5 wood will have to go, but I like it a lot too......What to do??? What to do????
What do you think about "one length" hybrids? Not necessarily the cobras but just the idea of generally shorter long clubs to same length (5-6 iron length for instance).
I’ve been using hybrids for about the last 13yrs. My first hybrids were 2006 Nike CPR 3H and 4H. I absolutely love hybrids and they have been a game changer to me, particularly as I’m not a fast swinger of the golf club the extra distance and height they give me is a huge advantage. Currently I’m playing an Epic 3H and 4H and they’ll stay in the bag for a few more years yet as 4H carries around 160-165m and my 3H carries around 168-173m, which perfectly fits into my set distance. I also find hybrids easier to control and flight when I’m trying to play 3/4 swings verses a long iron and in summer I can sneak a fair bit extra roll out of the 3H in particular. Sorry for the long reply, I just really like hybrids.....great video as always😀👍
I have a "3 hybrid" (21 degrees) that I hardly ever play as I feel much better with my 4 iron (24°). I gain a few yards from the hybrid (it's my 210 yards club compared to 200 for the 4 iron) but it comes at the cost of a much higher dispersion and less control on the trajectory (I struggle to fade the hybrid and to keep it low, things that are relatively easy with the 4 iron). So much so that I'm very much in the market for a 3 or 2 iron, maybe not as bladed as my 4 iron (but then again I don't have any problems with my 4i), to bridge the gap between 4i and 4w...
Great video! I've learned some of these tricks playing with the hybrid but it's great to put these results into content and understand things better. Keep them coming!
Hello Mark, I subscribed and follow your channel all the time. Very informative. First things first, I'm a 65 yr. old golfer that has about given up on the driver because of hip and back problems, so I'm turning to my Callaway Super Hybrid 17degree as my go to club off the tee. I strike it well and think that I could manage myself around the course as long as I can get off the tee. So, If you have any videos and comments please let me know thanks and keep up the great instructional videos. Steven P
I have a 4 iron and a 22 degree hybrid. I’d actually like a hybrid to replace the 4 iron and maybe even the 5, to have more options, just haven’t done it yet.
I’d say my comment a few videos back was the inception of this video? Least my ego would say so...anyway, I’m loving this series Mark keep em Colin. I bagged a 23° for about two weeks but wasn’t too keen on having it draw as much as it was drawing and worse having yet another shot I needed to practice at the range (which I neglect in favor of spending time with my family). I’ll practice the 23° during the off-season in hopes of making it work but I’ve dropped it in favor of my set 4i (AP2) and 3i (TMB) with a recoil graphite shaft that actually has me swinging slower and generating tons of distance and height surprisingly (3i getting me 210 carry with an easy 6i like swing). Perhaps a video on blending options not just in more forgiving heads but shafts as well? ; )
I’m playing 19,21,23 short in gaps yes, but I’m picky about the hybrid shape that I like & the price point in my budget. Good news is I usually play them well
Good stuff Mark - my 2 hybrids are fast becoming my favourite clubs in the bag - so easy to hit and versatile and have saved me between 2&4 shots a round by being able to hit long par 3s in regulation plus the longer par 4s - more of the same please!
Long iron or hybrid player?
play a 5 iron and 19' hybrid. no fairway woods. 9.5 driver
9 wood, 7 wood 💪🏼
3hybrid @18 deg, 4i @23 deg. There’s a gap but does the job, driving iron, etc. Good on par 5 approaches. Doesn’t see too many par 3 tees anyway.
19* hybrid with 4h shaft; 4 iron still 😱 Thinking of going with a utility iron. Mark, are the utility irons that much different from normal? Ie, Wilson FG Tour V4 utility vs C4 4i??
22 degree hybrid, 3 and 5 woods, 5 iron on down to 56 wedge
I am 71 and just put hybrids in my bag, 19 ,25 and 31 degree lofts. Only one fairway wood which is an adjustable that I set at 17 degrees. My highest iron is my 8 iron and this set up works well for me and takes pressure off my game and results to lower scoring.
Yes, definitely need to commit to the shot with a hybrid; usually fluff it when I don’t!!
I carry a 19 degree hybrid but also a 19 degree 4 iron. Generating to much height with the hybrid in windy conditions I change to the 4 iron to get a more drilled flight
Thanks Mark! I liked how you described ball position. Best explanation I've heard.

I love my hybrids. I play the Cobra one length 19 and 25 degree hybrids. Iron length hybrids are just lovely!
Those One Length hybrids are so great. Laser straight and the rails are amazing for those sat-down lies.
19 and 23 degrees hybrids then down to a 15.5 3 wood. Love them, thinking of swapping my 5 iron out at some point as well.
Usually carry 2 hybrid clubs (19 & 23). And occasionally only 1 hybrid and bringing a sweet little Cobra 5 wood.
Usually judgement comes knowing if the rough is tough or gotta play a longer course.

Moved to Hybrids a few years ago currently playing Titleist TS2 19 & 23, but tempted to try the new U500/510 or Taylormade P790
I replaced 4 and 5 iron with hybrids years ago. Thinking about replacing the 6 iron as well. Would enjoy more info on hitting hybrids from different lies and circumstances. Enjoying this series. Keep up the great work Mark!
I use 3 older cobra bafflers (12 years old) 20, 23, and 26 lofts. My longest iron is a 30.5 degree 7 iron. Love those clubs.

21 24 and 28. The 28 is my 5 iron replacement and has been such a weapon for me since adding it in.
TSi2 3 and 5 hybrid....love them..ventus blue shafts

I use an Mizuno JPX900 hybrid 19* & 22* both in an upright setting.
I use 23.5* and 19* Cobra F7 hybrids. From there I go up to my 18* 5W. I will at times replace the 23.5* with my 5 iron depending which course I'm playing. I find that I get more loft from the hybrid if I know I'm going to need it.

Love hybrids..I have 3 Ping rinkys 17, 22, and 26. I even use them sometimes for chip/putts off the green.
I used to have a 4 iron and a 3 wood but was struggling so took them both out and replaced with hybrids, 19 and 22 which I find easier to play
Put a 23° hybrid in the bag beginning of the year, love the flexibility it offers, top end I then either game a 4 iron or 7 wood depending on weather and course conditions
I have a 23 & 26 in my bag but my 23 is my go to club. They are old style Cobra Bafflers which are still the best in my opinion
Just purchased a 21 deg as I've got a new set of irons & decided not to have a 3 or 4 iron for the 1st time. Moving my game into new territory
Love my 25 degree H2 716 x stiff, carries 180 normally so replaces the 4 & 5 irons
I use the Titleist 818H1 in 18deg (19deg model) and 22deg (21deg model)! Love them now I’m properly used to them after years of the G10 hybrids!
I have a bouquet of head covers popping out of my bag. I'm gaming 6,4,2 and just replaced my 3 wood with a 16 degree 1 hybrid. I love em and yes I would like to see other videos on hybrid techniques. Hybrids dont shame them, game them.
I have 4 hybrids -
3H@ 21°
4H@ 24°
5H@ 27° &
6H@ 30°
All Diablo Edge & 10yo, served me well but will be replaced in the new year
Interesting gonna be trying this out , not a driver not a 7 iron in between sounds simple , looks simple we’ll see . Thanks
I game a Titleist 23 degree which I use for a 6 iron replacement and a Titleist 20.5 degree for long iron replacement for the gap in between fairway wood , I find the 23 degree more versatile from fairway, rough or open it for a medium par 3.
Hello Mark, I own matching 2, 3, 4, and 5 Adams hybrids but I only use two at any given time. On my own course I use the 3 and the 5 and on Links courses I use the 2 and the 4 (no trees to go over).
I play a 17, 20, 23 and recently a 27 too - they're just so easy to hit on the course and they rarely get me in trouble
Ive got both.....a TS3 19 deg lofted down to 18.25 and then I have a U500 3 iron. The reason I carry both is quite simply because my home course is manufactured links course.
Currently I use a 19 degree and a 21 degree hybrid which is lofted up to 22,5 degrees, my irons start at 5 iron which is 24 degrees. I do have 24 degree hybrid which I change out with the 5 iron sometime but I like having the 5 iron for low shots around and from in trees.
My set is Titleist - 917 driver and 3 wood; 716 TMB 2 iron, MB 3 iron to PW; Vokey 54* and 60* (and putter). I haven't owned a hybrid, and I am not really used to them. I would not be confident to hit a low shot under tree branches. I am happy to tee off on long holes with the driver or sometimes the 3 wood, so I don't need a hybrid for this.

22 26 and recently 30 degree 22 takes my 5 wood out of play goes the same distance but easier to hit taken 5 iron out of my bag. Do tend to hit them all with right to left shape which I do struggle to hit with driver but they are so much easier to hit and far more versatile than long irons never been able to hit a 3 iron.
Best recent rounds played using only 18, 22 and 25 Cleveland hybrids. Kept in play all day. 18h wants to draw, others fade. Bizarre, but at least draw helps with tee distance, while fades with stopping on greens.
I'm using both a 2 and 5 hybrids. I use the H2 for long par 5s and I use the H5 whenever I'm not hitting my long irons well. My H5 is like my confident club.
Great video. I play 6,5,4 and 3 hybrids
I have 5+9 fairways and a 26 degree 5 hybrid. Working out pretty well ! Enjoying your lessons !
Thanks for this video, I love my k15 hybrids but have never been exactly sure how to play them and as such am not consistent. Please do more of these instructional videos. Love it.
As a long iron player, I have a 19* hybrid. I would like to tinker with the ideas of more hybrids.
Yes, please!
I game 818 H1s in 19 and a 23 degrees Right up there with my 46 degree vokey as my absolute favorite clubs.
Crimes I was just thinking you hadn’t done this one yet and here it is, brilliant
I go 22 and 26 degree. Even though my 6 iron loft is 27 the 26 degree gaps in well.
Nice one Mark I'm using the Titleist TS2 in 23 and 19 degrees and I love them.
I’ve got a 16, 19 and 22 degree hybrids, 16 is not usually in my bag these days though, have an extra wedge instead.
I’m a 6 hcp player and have honestly never truly known how to play my 19 degree hybrid ... 🤦♂️ Cheers Bruh for the help 👍🏻
I've recently gone to 17, 20 & 23 degree fairway woods. My longest iron is now a 6.
I play, and love, my 2 hybrids. A 19 and 23. I think they are my favourite clubs. I have to be careful about setup to avoid offset helping me draw the ball too much.
22 degree Tayjormade. It's my go to club and I love to hit it.
That's probably where I've been going wrong as I always thought hybrids are closer to iron length (with lower c of g) than wood length, so have been playing them as an iron. Will try your tip and see if I get better results!
Great stuff. I really need to go into the used bin at my local shop to find a hybrid to play with!!! Sounds to me that the ball position I'll have is probably close to where my 5 Wood is played.
Great explanation Mark ! Thanks
Thanks Mark. Some good tips.
Hoping my new TS2 19* shows up tomorrow. Got the 23* 818H1 for my 4 iron.
I'm just learning to hit my hybrids and I'm not very good at it. I have 20 and 23 degree hybrids with senior flex graphite shafts in my bag.
Play a 3,4, and 5 hybrid....took my 5 iron out, but had to put it back due to yardage gaps. Sadly, had to remove a gap wedge to keep to 14 clubs. Love my hybrids, but still up in the air about what to remove in order to put my gap back in. Maybe my 5 wood will have to go, but I like it a lot too......What to do??? What to do????
19 and 22 degree. Still have a 26 degree 5 iron as well but considering a third hybrid.
Love my hybrids, too. Would like to see more of these kind of videos
I currently only have a one, a 19 degree. Yet I think the next time I get fit, I will be looking to add one, maybe two more to my set.
I have a 19º hybrid. It works well with my 3 wood (15º) and 4 iron (24º) and fills the gap.
What do you think about "one length" hybrids? Not necessarily the cobras but just the idea of generally shorter long clubs to same length (5-6 iron length for instance).
Placed my 3 iron in "time out" due to bad behavior, 4 iron is on probation. My hybrid is a lovely boy.
I’ve been using hybrids for about the last 13yrs. My first hybrids were 2006 Nike CPR 3H and 4H. I absolutely love hybrids and they have been a game changer to me, particularly as I’m not a fast swinger of the golf club the extra distance and height they give me is a huge advantage.
Currently I’m playing an Epic 3H and 4H and they’ll stay in the bag for a few more years yet as 4H carries around 160-165m and my 3H carries around 168-173m, which perfectly fits into my set distance.
I also find hybrids easier to control and flight when I’m trying to play 3/4 swings verses a long iron and in summer I can sneak a fair bit extra roll out of the 3H in particular.
Sorry for the long reply, I just really like hybrids.....great video as always😀👍
I love my hybrids the help me loads. From all over the course. Yes these ideas help, more please.
Mark I go up to a 5 iron then hybrid 22 degree, 17 degree 3 wood 14.5 degree driver.
good advice for any club really
I have a "3 hybrid" (21 degrees) that I hardly ever play as I feel much better with my 4 iron (24°). I gain a few yards from the hybrid (it's my 210 yards club compared to 200 for the 4 iron) but it comes at the cost of a much higher dispersion and less control on the trajectory (I struggle to fade the hybrid and to keep it low, things that are relatively easy with the 4 iron). So much so that I'm very much in the market for a 3 or 2 iron, maybe not as bladed as my 4 iron (but then again I don't have any problems with my 4i), to bridge the gap between 4i and 4w...
Great video! I've learned some of these tricks playing with the hybrid but it's great to put these results into content and understand things better. Keep them coming!
Hello Mark, I subscribed and follow your channel all the time. Very informative. First things first, I'm a 65 yr. old golfer that has about given up on the driver because of hip and back problems, so I'm turning to my Callaway Super Hybrid 17degree as my go to club off the tee. I strike it well and think that I could manage myself around the course as long as I can get off the tee. So, If you have any videos and comments please let me know thanks and keep up the great instructional videos.

Hi mark I play a titlest h2 19° and a Taylormade gapa high 23°
I play 19 degrees 819H Titleist. Nice video! Please do 3 wood video!
19 and 23 Callaway XR, the go to clubs when everything else turns to custard.
Fairway woods are left home I carry three hybrids, 17*, 19*,23*. I use all three!
Thanks Mark will try those tips next week
I have a 4 iron and a 22 degree hybrid. I’d actually like a hybrid to replace the 4 iron and maybe even the 5, to have more options, just haven’t done it yet.
5 through PW and then a 3 Hybrid that I can control distance to get a 3 or 4 distance.
I do fight the over draw at times though.
23° & 19° Hybrids. 23° H2 is lofted up as much as possible and used everywhere. The 19° H1 is generally only used off the tee.
Traded my 19* hybrid for a 5 wood and also use 24 and 27 degree hybrid.
I’d say my comment a few videos back was the inception of this video? Least my ego would say so...anyway, I’m loving this series Mark keep em Colin. I bagged a 23° for about two weeks but wasn’t too keen on having it draw as much as it was drawing and worse having yet another shot I needed to practice at the range (which I neglect in favor of spending time with my family). I’ll practice the 23° during the off-season in hopes of making it work but I’ve dropped it in favor of my set 4i (AP2) and 3i (TMB) with a recoil graphite shaft that actually has me swinging slower and generating tons of distance and height surprisingly (3i getting me 210 carry with an easy 6i like swing). Perhaps a video on blending options not just in more forgiving heads but shafts as well? ; )
Met you at Paultons last week, I hat the Wilson C200 irons and the Callaway XR driver and 22 degree XR hybrid. It's my go to 180 fairway finder.
19* and 22* Ping G410 bc I love the flat settings. First hybrids I’ve owned that I don’t hook out of bounds
I’m playing 19,21,23 short in gaps yes, but I’m picky about the hybrid shape that I like & the price point in my budget. Good news is I usually play them well
Mark, what should the proper lengths be for the hybrids? I prefer a bit shorter length for mine. I use 22* and a 24* hybrids.
I have a 22 and 19* adams hybrids and I friggen love em, anything from 175 to 220 yards I can use them for
Good stuff Mark - my 2 hybrids are fast becoming my favourite clubs in the bag - so easy to hit and versatile and have saved me between 2&4 shots a round by being able to hit long par 3s in regulation plus the longer par 4s - more of the same please!
