Hybrids

Golf Hybrid Clubs / Rescue Clubs

Hybrid clubs can best be described as a cross between an iron and a fairway wood and are designed to be used instead of those harder to hit long irons. They are undoubtedly the most forgiving club you can have in your bag and can produce great results even from relatively poor lies. They are a highly versatile club and can be used for tee shots on long par 3’s, lay-up tee shots on shorter par 4’s, and approach shots to par 4’s and 5’s and even for little chip and run shots around the greens.

A long iron requires a reasonably precise strike to get even a half-decent result, while a hybrid club is nowhere near as demanding. A hybrid’s shallow face and a centre of gravity that is low, and further back from the face combine to create a club that is incredibly easy for you to get airborne.

Hybrids are numbered the same as the iron they are intended to replace and are available from a (2) hybrid at around seventeen degrees of loft through to a (7) hybrid around thirty-two degrees of loft. Depending on the model, the loft can often be adjusted in the same way a driver or fairway wood can.

They are available in various head shapes and sizes. Some will more closely resemble a long iron, which are aimed more at the better players. Others will have a much larger profile, almost starting to look like a fairway wood and are more aimed at the mid to high handicappers. This is not a hard and fast rule however, as all of them are easy to use.

We have a full range of hybrids available from all the leading manufacturers including PING, PXG, Titleist, TaylorMade, Callaway and Cobra.
