Golf Hybrids

Lofts

Golf hybrids come in virtually all lofts above 17 degrees which effectively offers a replacement for any iron loft. Depending on the make and model, hybrids start at a 2 hybrid and go right the way through to most often a 6 hybrid. Although each brand lofts their hybrid iron replacements slightly differently, the hybrid number normally replaces the exact number stated on an iron. For example a 3 hybrid usually lofted at 20 degrees replaces a player’s 3 iron. The majority of players normally look at replacing their 4 iron with a 4 hybrid and add a 3 hybrid to fill the distance gap between their fairway woods. The choice of which irons to replace is completely down to the golfer’s preference, although with the extreme benefits that hybrids possess, golfers are continually adding these to their bag.

Shafts and Flex

Graphite shafts are used in golf hybrids in order to provide the golfer with more forgiveness. Unlike the heavier shafted, low lofted and extremely harder to hit longer iron, the lightweight graphite shaft helps a golfer increase their swing speed and generate greater height.
Each hybrid includes an array of both standard and custom graphite shaft options situated across various different flex options such as Extra Stiff, Stiff, Regular, Soft Regular, Lady Flex and Junior Flex. The most suitable flex option is dependent on a golfer’s clubhead speed, the two should correspond with each other in order to match the club’s ability to bend parallel to the speed of the golfer’s swing. This allows the golfer to feel in complete control of the club head’s path and thus prompting a more confident delivery towards impact. Choosing the correct shaft is critical in order to ensure the golfer receives the full benefit of using these excellent pieces of modern day golfing equipment.

Adjustability

Depending on the brand, some of the hybrids in our collection provide golfers with greater options for altering the loft and lie to best suit the user at hand. Changing the loft can be tailored to an individual to help provide the required higher/lower trajectory in order to fit the exact gap the golfer wishes to fill. Some models also offer the opportunity to slightly alter the lie angle which can be adjusted to help counteract those unintentional fade/draw shots which ultimately result in a lost ball.
