Tm Rescue Dual for me. Back in the bag fourteen years after purchasing it, probably four/five years since I last used it and it just goes down the middle. It isn't leaving anytime soon.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned them, but the Adams Pro '14 are great. Swap the shaft to your favorite (because the stock isn't great) and you have a monster.

Cobra Baffler Pro (2H) circa 2007 - looks fantastic at address, sounds and feels amazing, and I can hit it anywhere. Oldest club in my bag by many years and I still love it. I have a low single-digit friend who hit it a couple times last time we played and asked to buy it off me.

 

Do you have the one where the top is painted all black, or the previous version where the raised top-line is unpainted?

I was having trouble hitting regular hybrids because the head was just a smaller metal wood. I tried the TaylorMade M3 19 degree and absolutely love it. Instead of hitting behind the ball, as I was doing with the other hybrids and woods, I am now hitting more pure shots. The M3 hybrid has a very narrow club head which I am loving. In fact, I like it so much that I ordered a 17 degree to replace my 4 wood. Unfortunately, I have not been able to play with it since I received it from TM. Because it is adjustable, I'm going to put it at 16-16.5 degrees for better distance.

I suffer from too much spin with everything . The Ping Anser hybrids are as low spin and anti hook of a hybrid as you will find.

Lets start with I am an anti TM guy. I however I have an old TM rescue in the bag that will not go away. Believe me I’ve tried. Somethings just work.

 

 

Funny. 2 years ago I gave away an rbz tour 3 hybrid. I thought I'd find a "player's hybrid". Over the last 6 months I came to despise the decision to give up that rbz....

 

So I bought another one this week...lol. Found one in superbly good condition. Hopefully it's as good as I remember it and it never leaves my bag again.

x2 hot is still the best for me. I've tried to like the pings since my driver and 3 wood are ping g and g30. Didn't feel as nice and perform better as my x2 hot.

I have the all black model. I'm a minimalist when it comes to a club's look at address.

Another vote for the Callaway Apex.

 

How do these compare to the Rogue Hybrids? I am also looking...

The Apex play more like a long iron for me. I can hit them high or low and move them a bit. Alot like the Adams Pro blacks from around 2010 0r so, just better.

They aren't especially long, but not short by any means.

The Rogues have a larger footprint and a hotter face. I though they were a club longer than the lofts might indicate. They did have great feel on well struck shots. Alot like the original Xhot / X2Hot line, feel wise.

I've tried a few. Adams, Srixon, TM, Callaway etc. The best for me, hands down, by far are the Titleist 816 H2. I have a 19 deg (set to 18) a 23deg (set to 22) and a 25deg (set to 26) and I absolutely love them. Can hit them high, low, left, right (even when I don't try to - Lol!). Along with my 2017 M1 HL 3 wood, they are the safest clubs in my bag and would build my iron distances around them. Hope they never run out of puff!!!
