How many hybrids are in your bag and your age?

[BKN1964]

Oooh, I want to play! Zero, I'll be 56 this year. I'm also an 18 index who only hits his driver 200 yards.

However, I do have 4 woods: Driver, 4w, 7w, and 9w at 12, 17, 22, and 25 degrees.

My first iron is a 25 degree M2 6i. I only carry 13 clubs, with the bottom end of my bag going 44, 48, 52, and 56 degrees. I have room for a 60 degree wedge but I usually just make a mess of it so I leave it home.

[WooPig]

I’m 36 and have carried a 18° and 23° as far back as the ping g10s I bought when they first came out.

[martinbns]

I'm 57 and have been carrying a 19 & 22* since I Was about 40. First a couple of Cobra Bafflers and since about 2013 Callaway X2hots. Considering adding a 5. My bag is Driver, 3W, #h, 4H then 5-GW plus a couple of wedges.

[VA golfer]

I am 50 and I carry zero hybrids in my bag 3W, 5W, 4 utility iron, is my to of bag. Never really got along very well with hybrids.

[WillyE]

60 yrs old, carry a 3 hybrid that I dial up or down depending where I’m playing.

[kmck15]

Only 20 years old. Zero hybrids, but still dying to find one that won't hook off the planet for me.

[SouthLand]

42

20 and 23 Adams Pros

Love ‘em. No hooks on my end unless the swing sucks. No offset I can see. I use ‘em from the shit, fairway bunkers, tee box, or (in the unlikely event) short stuff.

[HKelman5208]

I’m 69, formerly a 7 handicap about 15 years ago. Now in the high teens cause I can’t hit the ball as long as I used to. I carry driver, 3w, 5w, 19, 22, 26 hybrids, 6,7,8,9,pw, sw (56 degree) A wedge, Ping Anser Scottsdale putter. Have to carry 2 golf bags to accommodate 6 woods and clubs. Two serious cervical surgeries took my strength and distance away. Switched to senior graphite shafts 4 months ago. Hate that I had to. But I love the game so much I can’t give up.

 

[VA_Astra]

45 and 1 hybrid. 17* PXG Gen 2

[Jifmoli]

Awesome! 2-6 I guess - same model? At one point I had 2, 3, 4, and 5 hybrids all different brands (TM, Nickent, Ram, Acer). Personally don't need that close gapping in the long clubs but would love to have (and will!) 2, 4, 6 hybrids at the long end of the bag (no need for driver or woods).

Now have 3h and 5h, age 50, hc 23 and play about 2 rounds a week.

[sirparalot]

I play a 4H and a 5H. From there 6i - LW. I'm 49

[Oqvist]

One a 22 degree that replaces my 3 iron and 5 wood.

 

Maybe its not the best for distance control because it can go far like nuts thus replacing an 18 5 wood quite well. Easier to hit then the 3-iron. Have 4-iron and 3 wood still probably dont need more hybrid but its a brilliant rescue club

[srksi]

3 hybrids - 17/21/25 and I’m 51

[ryanmn4]

At 40 and with a current 1 hdcp, currently have a 17 and a 22. Seriously considering a 5h as well. They're just too easy to hit. I've messed around with going to a 4i and 19* hybrid, but have the most success and best gapping with the 17 & 22.

I guess I'll be the outlier here because I have 5 hybrids in my bag. Hey, it works for me. BTW I'm 51.

@Jifmoli I actually have 4-8 hybrids in my bag. Callaway Big Berthas. I have two 7 hybrids and one of those I use as the 8 hybrid club. I installed a shorter shaft and adjusted the loft to #8 specs. Works like a champ for me.

[Argonne69]

I'm 57 years young. I currently carry a 5 (26 deg) and 6 (30 deg) hybrid. They're two of my my favorite clubs in the bag. A few years back I had a 4 hybrid as well, but struggled to get it airborne. I replaced it with a 9 wood, and the results are much better. In addition to a driver and mini-driver (a 3 wood replacement), I also have a 7 wood with a 3 wood shaft.

Sure, the hybrids can be hook machines at time. But then again, so were my 5 and 6 irons. Heck, I can hook a gap wedge 40 yds. It's the swing for me, and not the club. That said, I do have plans to check out the Ping G410 hybrids with the adjustable lie angle once the prices come down out of the stratosphere. A flatter lie wouldn't hurt.

In the mid-00's I had a bag with 5 Cobra Bafflers in it, 2 - 6. I couldn't hit a fairway wood to save my life, and the hybrids were much better.

 

[Curmudg3on]

I'm 63. I went from 4 hybrids to 2 with my new clubs.

[NoTalentLefty]

May I ask what clubs?

[Curmudg3on]

I went from 3H-6H and now sport a 4W 4H and 5H my irons are now 6-LW

[remarkable]

62 Years old: play 6 hybrids:

3,4,5,6 PXG 0311 Hybrids

7,8 Callaway Rogue X

Irons : 9,PW,AW,GW

5 Wood Taylormade M1

Driver Taylormade M2,

2 - 3 Handicap

[FargoRC]

Ping G410 3 Hybrid, 34 years old.

I've caried one hybrid probably for the past 5-6 years.

[Jwin323]

I’m 66 and I have no hybrids. 3W, 5w and turbo charged 4 and 5 irons.

[cbrwn425]

34 and carry a 3h. Couldn’t get along with a driving iron and it fills the gap nicely between my 3w and 4i.

[flower37]

76 1 Hybrid 5

[Mikey5e]

Someone finally beat my 4 hybrids (4,5,6,7), and has a great hc to validate them. My bag:

Driver calliway xr16

Putter          

4w  17° 

(hybrids)

4h  22° 

5h  25° 

6h  28° 

7h  31°   

(irons)

8i  35°    

9i   40°    

pw 45° 

aw 50°  

sw 54°

lw  58°

[Metzexpress4]

32 and carry a 19* and 22*. Love both and have a ton of confidence from 190-215 with either club. Also great out of the rough which helps on par 5's or punch shots when wayward off the tee.

[ZA206]

I'm 45 and I've carried 2 hybrids for the last 3 years or so. The 3H replaced my 2i about 10+ years ago. The 4H replaced my 3i about 3 years ago.

19 deg 3H = 230 yards

23 deg 4H = 215 yards

They are clones of each other that I built, same shafts, same grips, same heads (except for loft of course). Extremely versatile and the 4H is much much much easier to hit than a 3i.

[benclab]

I'm 39 and I have zero hybrids.

I did just test a few lately. A Callaway 18° '16 Apex with HZDRUS 105x and a Titleist 19° 818h2 with Tensei white 90x. I liked the 818h2 way more but I found the 5 wood to be more versatile.

[DallasDan]

47 and have a 3h and 4h. Callaway Rogue X.

[USCdrifter]

dang...nice to still see other adams users. 38 years old with a 23 degree & 18 degree adams pro mini. I also have the pros but like the mini heads better. My 23 is getting worn but I cant find a suitable replacement for these tiny heads that i like.
