Best Hybrid From Years Past?

Recommended Posts

Titleist 909. I am not even a titleist guy and picked this up on a whim. I have since purchased probably 5 hybrids looking for newer technology and chasing something. They have all gone away and the 909H is firmly a resident in the bag (for now). I will challenge her yearly but the 915 and the 816 couldn't beat it. Just a consistent club for me. It's old, beat up, sky marks (got it used on ebay for like $50 4-5 years ago or so when I started playing again. She just performs.

The original SLDR TP hybrid continues to be the only hybrid I can consistently hit dependably. It's weird because it's like, my favorite / go-to club

 

Whenever I try any other hybrids they go every conceivable direction and trajectory.

 

I'm a 3 handicap if that matters.

I'm a big fan of the titleist 909h. Prefer it leaps and bounds over the 585

 

Another vote for the 909h... I keep trying other hybrids, even 3 irons and no hybrids at times, but the 909h just works for me. Not the longest but it sounds and feels great and it just seems to do everything I want it to. I have tried the 913, 915, TM rescues, Bridgestone J40, Ping G25, Anser (also pretty good), but the 909 is my favorite.

I'm fully invested in the 909h. I have all the lofts, with matching shafts, so I can fill gaps between whatever irons and whatever woods I am playing.

 

Just good solid clubs that do what I expect them to do.

I second the love for the Cleveland Mashies, but I've got a 19* and 22* Adams Idea a7 in the bag and don't see them going anywhere soon. Great ball flight and consistent distance.

 

How do you compare the Adams Idea to the Cleveland Mashie ?

I have never swung an Adams hybrid but the Mashie is the only hybrid I have played that with a smooth tempo gentle swing produces high trajectory soft landing shots.

Sounds like we have a similar trajectory... I preferred the feel of the Mashie and it was fantastic out of the rough, but if I went after them at all they shot straight up in the air, at least as high as my lob wedge. That wouldn't have been a problem except that I lost a couple clubs in distance. The Adams fit me much better, the flight is still high, but strong, and gets out there pretty well. Balls are usually a few feet from their pitch mark.
