Amazing is all I can say. I have spent lots of money at the range trying to figure out how to hit the 3 and 4 iron. I have my days where I can drill the occasional shot low and hard but most of the time I struggle to hit the sweet spot.
Lately though, I have discovered how to hit a low bending shot that comes in handy when punching out from under trees and whatnot. My biggest problem at this point is hitting a good shot from the short rough. I don't have a high swing speed, (87-92 on the launch monitor) so when I'm in the rough and I have to blast out, I can't seem to hit down hard enough to blast the ball out. I get the ball out but if it goes 60 yards I'm ecstatic.
Enter the Wilson hybrid 3I. I hit on the launch monitor with a nice easy swing almost 180 yards. Low trajectory and lotsa roll. The weight is in the back so it helps get through the grass and into the ball to launch it.
So thye took my specs and built it and I take it to the range in Lenexa and immediately go to the high grass to see if I duplicate what I had been doing on the launch monitor.
I did. Wasn't hitting it as far, (165-175) but it was straight and low.
I can't wait to hit this thing on Sunday when my brothers are with me.

Sweet.
Hybrids are the best, I am probably going to break down and get the titlest hybrid next week. For me it was between the Callaway and the Titlest The only real difference was I was able to keep the Titlest on a little lower trajectory, that and I like it around the greens alot more. Yes I said around the greens.
A shot that more pros and amateurs are using with their hybrids, that is actually a easy one. If you have a front pin say 4 to 15 paces on and you are 2 - 10 yards off the green, and you dont feel comfortable with your chip or your putter, try bring out your hybrid and using it like a putter. It may take a little practice to get the feel and speed, but once you get the feel you will love it. And that is another shot or weapon in you arsenal.
