Why You Should Use a Hybrid Iron


If you've played golf for a while you have probably seen or at least heard of hybrid irons. If you new to golf then you may wonder what these clubs are all about and why you may want to put one in your bag.

Long irons (think 2, 3, or 4 irons) have been known as clubs that can be difficult to hit correctly. They are a source of frustration for many golfers and not just beginners or high handicappers. It has taken a while for them to take hold but even
"This makes the club much easier to hit and is the number one reason to add this club to your bag..."
pros have added hybrid clubs to their golf bags. They are slightly different in design than the long irons but serve the same purpose, to advance the ball a considerable distance from where you are right now.

Fairway woods are usually easier to hit than the long irons. What hybrid manufacturers decided to do was to take the best parts of a fairway wood and merge then with the design of a long iron. This makes the club much easier to hit and is the number one reason to add this club to your bag regardless of your ability. Even low handicap players can benfit from the ease of use that a hybrid offers. Just make sure that you are adding clubs that replace your long irons. You want the ball to fly the same distance with your hybrid as it does with the long iron. The goal is to replace your irons with clubs that are easier to hit, not ones that fly farther. If you do get one that simply files farther you will simply be adding a club to your bag and you'll end up with large gaps in distance from the rest of your clubs.

Consider adding a hybrid club to your bag today. It will help you to improve your ball striking and could shave a few strokes off your handicap.
