Absolutely. First, I'll have to tie up my insane wife with her three-months-down-the-road planning habits. Talk to her, will ya? :D

You have to play consistantly to shoot consistantly.

I understand she recently ran a marathon. That means she's a lot tougher than me. You talk to her.

I really love those Titleist utility irons. Very easy to hit but still keep the playability and control of an iron. My next club purchase will be to replace my 2-iron with one.

I miss golf big time.

There you have it........

This was at a local proshop here in Springfield that tries to keep everything competive. The reason I know about those two is that I won $150 GC in a 2 man event there about 2 weeks ago. Tried the Titlest liked alot because it felt like an iron but was able to to get airborn alot easier. They were out of the Callaway am going this week to try it out. The Callaway I believe was around $170-$175 the Titlest was around $185 I believe.

You may want to check out the Taylor Made 580XD. Its a late model but the golf stores (golfsmith for sure) are selling them pretty cheap.

Definitly ebay. For instance if you are patient enough you can get a Callaway Hybrid for around $100.

Great way to get some cash for old clubs too.

Is that the one with the counterbalance weights? I've seen that thing in action - quite impressive.

Two weeks ago, I had never even swung a hybrid, and didn't know much about them. Went out golfing with my dad, who recently picked up a couple Taylor Made Rescue Mid TP hybrids. Curious, I hit a couple balls with one of them, and absolutely loved it - MUCH easier to hit than a long iron (I was swinging a "3", which replaced a 3-iron). I liked the ball flight a lot better, too - it seemed to bore through the wind better than my 3-iron, flew longer, and was easier to draw.

For reference, I'm a decent golfer - generally mid-high 80's, occasionally venturing into the low 80's or (on the really "fun" days) into the 90's. I'm taking lessons as well, but I find the hybrids much more enjoyable to hit than a long iron. I shelved my 2-iron for a 5w 2 years ago, and now I'm looking to trade my 3-iron for a 3 hybrid (rescue mid tp). I don't plan on more than one hybrid, but I'd definitely like that one. Unfortunately, they're a little spendy for me right now... :(

Its the model right before the one with the weights. The one stinger was talking about (the R7) is the new one.

I didnt care for the R7 but i have seen plenty of people knock the hell out of it.

I was gifted an R7 a couple weeks ago, and when I hit it right, I can absolutely bomb the ball. Last week I hit two around 320 right down the middle - absolutely nutted them. Still working on consistency, but the ball explodes off the face when hit properly...

Absolutely the best hybrid I've hit is the 2005 Cobra Baffler. I've tried the TaylorMade Mid, Adams Idea, Callaway Heavenwood, Hogan...the Cobra Baffler is STUPID-EASY to hit. Try it out.

I have the 3 iron replacement. Very versatile.

Here is a question for the golfers, not sure why I am thinking of this but:

Since the R7 and I believe another manufacture (can't think of it right now) are useing moveable counter-weights in the club, would you be allowed to adjust durring a match? I would think not but posses an intersting question. Also if one of the weights fell out would you be able to replace in the match?
