Hey Seniors, looking for an easy to hit hybrid?

I found the shaft makes all the difference in a hybrid - I like a high launch, mid spin shaft.

I use a Tensei CK Pro Red 70

Easiest launching hybrids I have ever seen are Cobra F-Max/T-Rails. A higher lofted fairway wood will be next in line.

The PXG Gen 2 Hybrids are stupid easy to hit. Played the Adams Pro A12 Hybrids for years before the Gen 2's came along.

I just purchased a Sub70 hybrid actually for my wife. She plays mens clubs so I took the hybrid out this weekend and thing is really easy to hit and nice high soft landing ball flight. I'd recommend checking them out. I'm going to buy another one for myself and toss the 5 iron and use the hybrid, just easier to hit and better ball flight.

PING G410. Got the 3 hybrid, regular flex. Worked great. Good distance. Consistent. No left issues. It worked so well I got a 2 hybrid, also Regular flex.

Pulled all fairway woods out of the bag. Now Driver (410 Plus), 2H, 3H, the PING G710 4-SW. At 63 with some health issues, including arthritis, I have found a bag combo that works for me.

I'm an aging former club junkie. Career handicap low was 4.3, now more like 14. After tinkering with too many clubs of every make and model (because I enjoyed experimenting) I have made the decision to settle on a full bag and not change out irons all the time. I went from, and currently retain in the golf room, just because I like them, MP20 and MP20HMB irons with Aerotech shafts and they are fabulous clubs.

However, my age and health changed my attitude, and I gained acceptance. I could not be happier. My golf life is easier and more enjoyable. Love the G410 hybrids.

ย 

Just my two cents. But the bottom line is find what works for your game and objectives.

I second the G410.

I have the 3, 4 and 5 hybrids with Tensei Pro CK blue in stiff. Best hybrids I've found for my game.

Driver SS is 93-95, 225-230 carry. 59yo. this September.

I have tried many different hybrids over the years, TM, Nickent, Mizuno, Callaway, Cobra, but I have yet to find a hybrid that is easier to hit high, straight, long and soft landing than the 12 or so year old technology I am playing right now. In my personal opinion the Adams A3OS Boxer is one phenomenal hybrid but to each his own. I am actually considering taking fairway woods out of the bag and playing more wedges, we'll see how it goes. 68 yrs old as of April and still manage a few rounds in the 70's each year. Good luck on your search.

Peace
