Has anybody played with the hybrid wood clubs? Lately, I've been killing it on the course with my woods, but I'm garbage when it comes to hitting my irons. I'm curious to know what people think about the hybrids - are they easier to hit, do they have more control, etc. etc.

I do know it could get expensive to totally re-outfit my bag with the hybrids, so I guess I just need opinions if it's worth considering.

It would almost be worth the trip to point and laugh.

Doesn't Vijay Singh play a 9 wood? I believe so

Yep. He probably hits it 275+ too.

It's bent to a 7 wood loft and it's 7 degrees OPEN!...crazy club. That would be a slice machine for me.

There, I fixed it for you.

I have a question for you golfers. Lately, with my irons, I've been concentrating on staying behind the ball. It's my new thing and for whatever reason, it's helped my short game swing. I find it difficult to have that mind set with my woods or driver. My question, is the swing with irons other than the obvious (shorter club) essentially the same as the swing with woods and drivers or is it an entirely different swing?

I am going out tomorrow for the first time in a looooong time can't wait.

Have a good time. Have you been to a range lately, or are you just going to give it a whirl?

I may hit the range within the next thirty mins. I can't go in cold. I am bad enough when I do practice...

I often find that I play better when I've been off for a while. I guess I'm looser and have lower expectations.
What about you, when you swing your long clubs, does your swing change much? I set up with the ball more forward with the long clubs, but other than that, am I wrong trying to duplicate my swing with an iron and long club? Maybe this question is so different with each person it can't be answered.

Bowser:

Two things.

1) Do you have a Golf Galaxy where you live? The one by me sells used clubs, and I've gotten sticks there hellacheap. Right place, right time kinda thing. Plus they have a monitor to give you an idea how you're hitting it without going to the range.

2) Don't rule out new irons. For the cost of 2-3 hybrids, you could own a new set. Recommendation: 2004 Callaway Big Berthas. Ridiculously easy to hit. So much so, I just got rid of my Clevelands for a set two weeks ago.
