Are hybrid golf clubs any good? If so, what one(s) would you recommend?

Replace your 2 & 3 irons. \n\nMore control and a better feel. I bought the Ping g5. I love them. Best fairway play I have ever had.\n\nGo to a golf store and try some out. Hit with the irons and then hit with the hybrids and see for yourself. Any good golf store will allow to try before you buy. \n\nI personally like a Golf etc. if you have one close.

A good club for one person may not be for another.  Picking out golf clubs, you have to consider how much you play, your budget, and what you like.  The best thing to do is try out as many as you can.  Go to Demo days and have someone fit you for clubs.  Now since you already have them, who cares what anyone else thinks.  The only  thing that matters is how you hit them and if your happy.  Now if your having trouble with them go to www.playgolfamerica.com and sign up for a free golf lesson with a local PGA pro.

They were excellent affordable clubs.\nSadly they are not actively selling clubs from their website.\n\nhttp://www.confidencegolf.com/\nTelephone  1-800-603-0004\nFacsimile 1-760-341-3787\nAddress Confidence Golf\n75-165 Sheryl Avenue\nPalm Desert\nCA 92211\nUSA\nEmail simon@confidencegolf.com\n\nBut sometimes you may be able to find stuff on Ebay and Amazon.

Have you looked into them golf things that can go in an office or room and it is like a putting green where they can play. I got one of those for my grandfather and he loved it.

The advantage of a hybrid is its combination of versatility and durability. Its pretty good on the road and in the city. Its comfortable to ride and probably a little faster than a mountain bike on roads. But its broad tyres, greater weight and upright stance mean it is not as fast or fun as a dedicated road bike.\n\nUnlike a road bike however, the hybrid can be used off-road. Its tough and it'll take it. It isn't as good as a mountain bike in the rough but it'll serve you well on a long multi-terain ride. A hybrid is also good for touring and will happily take panniers. \n\nSo its a bit a Jack-of-all-Trades - it does most things well, but it excels at none. A good all-rounder.\n\nI owned a Cannondale H600 Hybrid some time ago. It was a great bike and served me well. I gave it to a friend about 3 years ago and although its about 12 years old now, its still going strong.\n\nA hybrid is a good choice if you want only one versatile bike. Go for a good make though, the best you can afford and always look for good componentry - I recommend Cannondale, Trek or Specialised.\n\nHappy riding!

As I got better at golf, basically I switched from a game improvement type iron to a forged cavity back which is less forgiving. When your handicap falls under 10 you should probably demo some blades musceback type irons and see if they work for you. If you are consisitent and rarely have truely bad swing days, aka shanks you are probably ready. If you have a mediocre swing the blades will maximize those faults and your scores will likely suffer.

No, they are not held to the same strict tolerances as OEM clubs. You might have 5 clubs out of your set that do not have consistent lofts and lie....you might notice over a period of time that you always hit your 8 and 9 iron good and your 7 and 6 iron bad...\n\nJust for my piece of mind, I would spend the extra couple hundred and not have to worry about equipment being the culprit behind bad shots. \n\nGood Luck!

Yes, if you are going to be a serious golfer.  The professionals get custom made clubs.\n\nWere you expecting me to get angry at your post?

That is not a bad price at all as long as the clubs are in good shape.  As a beginner, you will get an excellent set of clubs for a fraction of the new price.

The Callaway HX Hot golf balls are actually pretty decent for your money. And even though most people think bigger is better, if you shoot over 100 you might want to think about using a driver with a smaller head.  You probably hit a high slice with a head that big because it's a lot harder to get it through the ball with a low-swing speed. A smaller head will also help to increase your swing-speed.

go to a well stocked golf store and try both out.  buy the ones you like.

I can see replacing your 3 & 4 irons but not the five. The hybrids are mnore forgiving.  However, a standard five iron is an extremely accurate club and given the pitch you shouldn't have a problem such a club.

I have one....\n\nhttp://www.clubfinders.net/\n\nPlus you could try http://www.ebay.com ... you might get lucky there.

This depends on how well you hit, as well as what lies ahead...\n\nFor instance, I use a 7 iron to hit 150 as well. Not every time, butr most of the time. However, if Im hitting up hill, I would use a 6 or 5 iron, depending upon the difference in height. Similar, in shooting downhill, I would use an 8 or 9 iron. \n\nWhen chipping, it is also important to pay attn to the lie - if youre chipping uphill, dont use a 60* wedge! It will be a 80* wedge! Instead, use your 8 iron and hit it softly - takes the extra loft off the hillside lie....\nPretty much, there should be roughly ten yards difference between clubs. I go 100 with a PW, 110 with a 9, 130 with an 8, 150 with a 7, 160 with a 6, 160 - 170 with a 5, etc. As my iron length increases, my distance drops, as I am not great with long irons... But I have this new Nike CPR rescue club - it is AWESOME! Replaces my 3 & 4 iron, and goes around 180 almost every time! 3 wood, around 200, driver around 220 - if I can keep it from slicing...\n\nFeel free to hit me up about golf anytime - IM ADDICTED!

I'm also a 7 handicap and I would say that most players at this level play the following irons: Titleist, Cleveland, Taylor Made, Muzuno.  I would go with irons with some game improvement features, but that still allow you to work the ball. \n\nMy bag is almost exclusively Cleveland, but that is personal preference.  I'm looking for new irons and looking at the following clubs:\n\nCleveland CG4\nTitleist 804's\nTaylor Made rac OS\n\nBottom line, make sure you demo your clubs at an outdoor range.

I've used blades for about 15 years. People always say blades are harder to hit, and if you miss the sweet spot you'll go astray. It's not exactly true. Blades these days are more forgiving than the Wilson blade 20-30 years ago. I used Mizuno MS 203 for sometimes, and those were the full blown blades that are not forgive. Try Tittleist 690 MB, Mizuno MP 33 or even the newest Titleist I 695 MB. These are forged blades. Go the site below and view the spec, they have little tubes at the neck that can absorb vibrations on the mishit as well.\n\nI used to carry Titleist 981, which are not blades just in case my swing gone bad, but later I found that fixing a swing is the better way that compensatng with equipments. I've people using high-tech very expensive equipments with swing that is tormenting to look at just to prouduce a so so result. Fixing your swing to hit a good blade is much better way to hit a golf ball.\n\nBesides, once you're comfortable with them, you'll enjoy an approach that once in a while a birdie tap in is possible. Once you can move the ball from left to right or right to left, and see them bounce a bit and check to a full stop, it's really good feeling. Play blades if you can, besides they look really good, too.

I WOULD LOOK AT HYBRID IRONS AND FAIRWAY WOODS, ADAMS GOLF I WOULD RECOMMEND THEY ARE DAM GOOD MANUFACTURES OF GOLF CLUBS, GET FITTED FOR THEM. LENGTH, LIE, GRIP SIZE, FLEX. BAD BACK OR NOT YOU NEED THE TOOLS TO GET YOU AROUND THE COURSE, HAVE YOUR NEXT SET BUILT TO YOUR GAME, NOT OFF THE RACK. ON YOUR BACK PROBLEM I DONT KNOW THE NAME OF THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THE MAGNETS BUT YAHOO SEARCH, JIM COLBERT ON THE CHAMPIONS TOUR SWEARS BY THEM, GRIP IT AN RIP IT
