Hybrids compared to irons

Hybrid clubs are designed to replace mid to long irons. For example, no.3 hybrid would replace a 3 iron. A typical golfer would hit a 3 hybrid further and more consistently than a 3 iron. The hybrid will out perform the 3 iron by at least 10 yards. The reason for this, is that the hybrid has a deeper and lower centre of gravity which make them a lot easier to get the ball air born much quicker and wait till you try them out of the rough!

ACCURACY - Hybrids are more tolerant to mis hits.
Most golfers I custom fit say they are most comfortable with a 6/7 iron. Anything above that is a struggle for consistency.
Use the hybrid as an iron so keep the ball in the same position of your stance and just a little forward if you are using from the tee.

FACT - 60% of tour players do not carry a 3 iron. (what does that tell you).
