Hybrid

Recommended Posts

Right on! 
 

Hybrids have so much specifics to be met. I like small foot print, low launch, minimal offset when replacing an iron, but I appreciate the more wood type, high launching, ball speed monsters for wood replacements ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

 

You gotta go with what fits your needs and intended purpose. 
 

The Apex is great, I don’t know about the Sim2, I only hit the more wood like Sim2 Max. 
 

A healthy compromise if you are looking for a higher launch (and less demanding to hit, the Apex is more of a “Players” hybrid ) than the Apex, with a similar foot print, no offset,  is the Adams XTD Ti, they can still be found in great condition, they come with a great shaft (Matrix Red Tie) and they are adjustable 1.5* up and 1.5* down 

 

Happy hunting!

Excellent thank you, the TEE EXS pro is not widely available here in the UK and seems more suitable to faster swing speeds than mine (driver 95mph) . I intend to have a look at the Apex and TM Sim 2 which are easy to try out here . Thanks for everyone’s help , much appreciated !

You can order the Apex or any of Callaway’s fixed hosel hybrids either 1 or 2 degrees flat.

I know it'll probably be frowned upon because of it's age, but when I had it in play, I loved the old Callaway Razr X Tour hybrid.  Small profile, a rocket off the tee and fairway, and it's a fraction of a price of a new hybrid.  Only reason it's no longer in play is I went back to a 5 wood for that higher launch, but that club was rock steady and it would go back in the bag in a heartbeat if I had room.

So, you tend to miss left and like a smaller profile. 

 

what are your goals for this hybrid? 
 

How is your ball flight with hybrids? Do they fly too high, low or are they more mid flight? 
 

Are you looking to use it as a 3-4 iron replacement? 
 

Have you explored 7 Wood options? 
 

I play the lowest flying, smallest hybrid I could find, because I’m only looking to have a 3-4 iron replacement to hit certain distances with a bit more consistency out of tough lies at times. 
 

I play a Adams Super 9031 Proto. It’s not the hottest club face, not a high launching club, but it directly replaces a 4 iron with some height, forgiveness, and ease from troubled lies. 
 

below is a pic of it next to a DHY and 2 iron and another next to a modern hybrid (TEE CBX119) that is about average for “players” hybrids in size  

 

I have an extra, but it’s shafted with a Modus 105s steel shaft at 23* and 20* if interested PM


They had heads only for sale a while back so I bought  a few. 
 

I currently picked up a higher lofted 5 wood and a TEE Ironwood utility 4 iron replacement (like the DHY, but 22*) so the hybrids are no longer in my bag.

Sorry have just seen some of these replies ! Very grateful for all your suggestions and help . I went for a Titleist TSi3 and to be honest hasn’t been a great success ! So maybe it’s just the guy using it ? Shame as my favourite club in the bag is my 5 iron which in the summer I can get 190/200 yds out of .

Background: did you get fit for the G425 hybrid, or just buy it and hope it worked?

 

For G425, you can flatten the lie slightly which would lessen chances of clubhead closing early. You could also check to see if shaft is too long for you. If you rock the club babk on its heel at address, this would close the face and encourage leftish drift.

 

Another thing is ball position. For most golfers, hybrids work best if hit like an iron. You said  "it looks more like a fairway wood." If you position the ball too far forward, the hybrid clubface can end up closed rather than square at impact. (Too much closing is a tip from a Titleist rep and area pro for straightening out drives.)

 

Wunder hybrid??? If you can find any, try a Tour Edge Exotics CBX or CBX.119 hybrid. The TE reps billed these as "leftproof." In general, Exotics line hybrids have square faces.

 

 

Sorry for late reply but have only just noticed most of these responses (maybe I need to adjust something in settings ) yes I was fitted professionally for all my clubs and very happy with most . Just struggling with the hybrid ! I have since bought a Titleist TSi3 but to be honest not much better even though it looks stunning . So maybe it’s just me ? I take on board your suggestion of ball not too forward in stance and will persevere .

Thanks again for your time !

I've tried a handful of hybrids but the clear champion is an older Cobra model called Baffler (Tungsten rail version). They launch high and the impact sound is phenomenal, not to mention the stock AD shafts are excellent. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=cobra+baffler+t+rail+hybrid&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=cobra+baffler+hybrid+t+rail
