I found this post written by Bomb & Gouge and it got me thinking about hybrid clubs. Here’s the post Bomb & Gouge I don’t use any hybrid clubs, you could call me a traditionalist (dang kids and their new fancy hybrid clubs, why when I was your age…..) but the truth is I’m cheap.. 🙂 I always see guys I play with pulling out these shiny new clubs and sending the ball screaming for its mommy.. All the time I get “when you gonna get one of these?” to which I respond, “hey, my clubs work fine, why change em?”

The truth is, the clubs themselves may in fact work fine but I wouldn’t know, I hardly bring them out of the bag. 🙂 So I suppose a hybrid might be for me simply because there’s some yardage that’s not presently covered by my arsenal.

But isn’t it almost one of those, once you go hybrid you never go back situations? A hybrid makes that range of clubs a lot more forgiving and a lot easier to hit, and all your sacrificing is some yardage that say a standard 4 iron would reach, but a hybrid would not. Short term it doesn’t matter because hey, you weren’t getting anywhere close to it before.

So you make the switch and you get more and more used to using a hybrid do you ever go back to the “traditional” club selection? Do you have to?

I almost feel like by making the switch your giving up on trying to improve on that aspect of your game and just settling for what works for now. Your giving up the gold and settling for the silver. Am I way of the mark?

Quite possible 🙂 Comments?
