About Hybrid Golf Clubs
A hybrid club is a newly developed class of golf clubs that combines the characteristics of fairway woods and long irons, which means it swings like an iron and has the distance of a wood.
The club’s loft ranges from 16 degrees to more than 29 degrees. Its clubfaces are stiffer like an iron and it has nearly the same length as some irons. However, the redesigned head of the hybrid club lowered the center of gravity to its back and bottom. This modification, which is difficult to accomplish in an iron, makes it better than a long iron in launching the ball at a higher angle.
Unlike fairway woods, the club usually has a flat face. Its launch angle is higher, making the ball stop quicker, and hit more accurately because it spins at a higher rate. Another bonus for golfers is that it can also be used as a chipper.
