Gapping multiple hybrids

[sfdoddsy]

After years of disliking hybrids so much that the only one I (reluctantly) carried was an ancient Adams Pro Gold, I've recently had to admit now I'm hitting 60 I can no longer do justice to my long irons.

 

I still hit my 4,5 and 6 OK and sometimes great, but they average about the same distance. But they go too low, spin too low and I'm always at risk of hooking them.

 

Likewise I don't hit fairway woods consistently enough to trust them.

 

So I've been trying out a bunch of hybrids of different makes and lofts.

 

I started with a 19, added a 21, tried a 22, then a 24, then a 23, 25, and 26.

 

Quirks of different models aside, I hit them all straighter and higher than my irons.

 

It would have nice to discover before I bought my fancy new irons, but such as life.

 

I'm in several minds about gapping, however.

 

Mostly I have a Cobra F6 Baffler (basically a hybrid due to the shorter shaft) set to 17.5. I draw it. It's 220ish.

 

Then I have a Ping G410 19 set to max flat. I tend to fade it. It's 200ish.

 

Then I have a Callaway Epic Flash 21 with a slightly long shaft. I draw it. It's 195ish.

 

Then I have an Epic Flash 24 which is basically straight and 185ish and an Epic Flash 27 which is straight and 170ish.

 

My (30*) 7 iron is 155ish.

 

I've been enjoying a TS2 25 which is 180ish.

 

These gaps feel a little tight to me, plus I would kind of like to have room for a low running hook-friendly club for when I go left with the driver.

 

So I've done the Golfwrx thing and bought 22 and 26 G410s which are on their way. I should probably mention that in even truer Golfwrx spirit I also have a 19* SIm Max, 22 and 25 GAPR His and 23 and 26 Mizuno Fli-His. 

 

This would give me 19, 22 and 26. Although I'm concerned about the gap from my 7 iron and where a 5 iron would normally go.

 

So how do other multi-hybrid users structure things?

3 clubs to cover a 25 yard gap- especially at the long end doesn't sound too confident imo

 

I'm not long by any means 7i=140yds....  I have 1 club for 205+ yds- 1 club for 180yds above 

 

Coming off a 5 & 6 hybrid experiment myself. I decided to carry a 5 hyb & 5i generally.  The 6hyb &5hyb were way to close gap wise- one just went higher than the other.

For about three years I had a Cobra FlyZ 3H and 4H, and a Tour Edge XRail 4W and 7W.

 

Overlap point in that bag was 3H and 7W. Both carried ball about same distance, but had different seasonal uses.

• 7W was in bag most of the year. Blew ball out of medium summer rough much better than 3H, plus higher launch 7W held green better on long approaches.
• 3H went in bag from Nov through March. It could get ball out of thinner winter rough, and launched lower in stronger winter winds.

Switched out long clubs last summer, and no longer have a 3H.
