JonMA1 Well-known member. I'm at the point where I have to do something. The 5i and 4i are no longer getting the 10 yard gaps that fill up the distances between my yd 6i, and yd 5w - both of which I can still hit well "well" being relative. Good contact with the 5 and 4 are becoming more difficult.
The 4i is definitely out of the bag. The 5i may remain for punch shots. I currently have an older Adams 4h that provides more consistent ball striking - even if it doesn't always provide the yards I'm looking for.
I also bought a new TourEdge 3h earlier in the year, but gave it away because I didn't hit it well. As is always the case, the biggest issue is a poor swing. Combine that with slower swing speeds, and a decent strike with a 4i requires a ridiculously small margin of error. Gone are the days of touching the 's with the occasional, center-face strike that I enjoyed just a few years ago.
I'm trying to set myself up for what lies ahead. It's possible my mechanics might improve What comes with that is a re-adjustment of ego. For me, there was nothing cooler in golf than hitting a long iron far and straight. But if I'm going to get any enjoyment out of this game, I have to quit beating my head against the wall trying to make something work when the odds are against it.
The "stock" distances for my clubs are going to have to come down when I pull a club. Sorry, got a bit off-topic. Back to the hybrids replacing long irons I'm on somewhat of a budget. The TourEdge 3h mentioned above indicated I can't just pick a club and learn how to use it.
I tried it out and it felt good off the mat with the simulator, but not so much on the course. So I'm thinking go to the local shop in the spring and try a couple used hybrids out on the grass range. I think some manufacturers have a try-before-you-buy system set up. Maybe I'll look into that as well. Any discussion on how to fill those long iron gaps would be appreciated.
JonMA1 said:. I bought a 3i and a 4i, and do not hit them well. I have replaced them as well as the 5i with a 3w, 4h, and 5h. I can hit that 3w off the deck with little problem. The 3i and 4i Rogues need to go on ebay for somebody else to have fun with.
I really like having one of each between my driver and 4 iron. I think as utility irons get better I will sub out a utility for my 4 and 5 iron. I use my 4 iron off the tee more and my 5 iron off the fairway more so I could easily see a utility doing both jobs. I suggest lessons from a competent local PGA instructor, combined with practice.

The trajectory and the distance that the golf ball travels is dependent on the loft angle of the club. Loft angle on a 3-wood is frequently between 15 degrees and 18 degrees and a 3-hybrid loft angle is mostly between 22 degrees and 23 degrees. This should indicate that the two clubs are not competing with each other but provide you with two vastly different options.
The 3-hybrid club is harder and made from a combination of graphite, iron, and steel. The length of the shafts on the 3-wood and the 3-hybrid is remarkably similar. The shaft of the 3-hybrid is normally slightly heavier than that of your driver and 3-wood. Unlike irons that generally come standard with steel shafts, the 3-wood and 3-hybrid both generally come standard with a graphite shaft to make it lighter.
While some 3-wood hosels are adjustable you will not find the same adjustability on the 3-hybrid hosels. This is likely to change in the future to make hybrids more flexible. A clubhead on a 3-wood has more volume than a 3-hybrid. The clubface of a 3-wood is larger and provides a larger sweet spot than the clubface of the 3-hybrid. The sole of a 3-hybrid is more forgiving than that of a 3-wood.
The center of gravity CoG of a 3-wood is located towards the back end on the clubhead to achieve the longest distance possible and the CoG of a 3-hybrid is located closer to the clubface for better control and accuracy. A shorter shaft and well-balanced clubhead make the 3-hybrid better for accurate shots consistently rather than push for extra distance.
Good golfers can hit a 3-wood perfectly accurate, but it is more likely to go offline on a slight mishit. The distance that you can achieve with a 3-wood is far greater than that of the 3-hybrid, provided it is struck correctly. First name is required. Last name is required. Phone number is required.
