How to Select and Purchase a Hybrid Golf Club   by Megan Sara Jones

A hybrid club has been designed to have the best of both woods and long irons in one club. They are the most recent introduction to the game of golf. Typically they will replace your long irons. They are constructed to get the golfer out of difficult lies and also to give better accuracy and longer distances.

Initially, these types of clubs were hard to handle, especially for the beginner golfer, but modifications have made them into an easier-hitting club. You can also now find them in a number of pros’ golf bags.
If you’
re an occasional golfer, you may not want to invest a lot of money in your clubs, namely the hybrids. These types of clubs can run up quite a high ticket A mid-performance set of hybrids to replace your long irons may be a good idea for you.

Every golfer should set themself a budget. We all can get swept up into the excitement of buying new clubs, even after we’ve decided we’re only an occasional golfer. You should have a limit and try to abide by it.

Look at your ball control. If you already get a decent amount of distance with your ball, you may not need to invest in hybrid clubs. However hybrids have a distinct ability of improving the accuracy of your long shots. Since most people have some difficulty with this area of their game, hybrids can improve your stroke as well as your score.

Evaluate your ball loft. Another important benefit with using hybrid clubs is their capacity to add some loft the ball without sacrificing distance. Because the center of gravity is located at the rear of the club, a hybrid makes it easier to get your ball into the air. When you find yourself in a bad lie this loft can make all the difference in your stroke.

If you’ve never been fitted for a set of clubs this is a good time to do it. Recreational golfers have a tendency to just play with whatever clubs are on hand. More often than not, this usually works for them. But if you’re investing in a set of hybrids, get them fitted to your height and swing. Typically, your standard hybrid should be longer or shorter than the club it is replacing, depending on your game.

What Hybrids are right for you?
Hybrids are a great replacement for your 2, 3, 4, and maybe even your 5 iron. If your swing speed is very slow (under 60-70 mph) you should consider replacing your 6 iron as well.

Golfers with slower swing speeds such as ladies, seniors, and beginners, should consider an iron set that starts with a 3 hybrid goes up to a 5 hybrid, then goes to a 6-SW in the regular irons. You can also consider a complete hybrid set that gradually and smoothly goes from a long iron to a wedge.

What Kind of Performance can you Expect from Hybrids?
Typically, a hybrid will go about 5-8 yards farther than the iron replacements. If you hit your 3 iron 180 yards than a 3 hybrid should go about 185 but will have a higher trajectory. Higher swing speeds may find less overall distance. Hybrids will definitely not roll as far due to their increased shot height. This is something to be taken into consideration.

A bigger difference may be consistency. You should find that you’ll hit your hybrid well more frequently than your long irons. This may mean that you’ll approach those 180-220 yard shots with a less stressful and relaxed attitude.
