Hybrid Golf Clubs
As more and more golfers are removing the long irons from their bags and replacing them with hybrid golf clubs, it begs the question why. What makes hybrids easier than long irons to master?
When you watch the PGA Tour pros hit 2-, 3-, or -4 irons, you can see that these players have the swing skills to hit their conventional long irons almost as high as regular golfers hit their wedges. Average golfers cannot generate enough height with their long irons because they have a much lower swing speed than the pros.
The greater face-to-back dimension of the hybrid long-iron replacement heads allows the center of gravity to be positioned much farther back from the face. This results in a higher trajectory for a shot off a hybrid club compared to a traditional long iron of the same loft. Hybrid golf clubs help the golfer get the ball up into the air on a higher trajectory than a long iron.
