Hybrid Irons (anyone?)

So I decided to give a set of hybrid irons a try. I've never been able to hit long irons and even more recently I've not been able to hit 6 or 5 iron. I ac...

Here's a couple of comparison pics not great content though. Swing Science FC-One Plus 7i 33 deg. on left and Wishon 730CL 6/7 36 deg. To me the visual of the 730CL is definitely hybrid appearing and the SS FC-One Plus is more shovel iron appearing (thick top line and a bit of the rear skirt of the iron head in view not much though more like an iron. As you can see from the sole they are both huge. It's easier for me with the FC-One Plus to chip, pitch with 8i, PW and SW.

scotts33 is the SS hosel welded to the neck? Not sure I've ever seen that look before. Looks ok at address!

I’ve got a half set of the SS FC1+ (5, 7, 9) on big boy Paderson Kinetixx 110 stiff shafts. They are great for a quick 9 or winter. I pair with Acer Thriver Mini, Ping Rapture 4I and Glide Eye 2 SW, and putter. They are also a great second set if anyone is visiting - easy to hit for anyone. Really enjoy playing these.

That’s a fitting club from their system. You can change shafts on it.

Not sure if this link will work for you

colej Another reason to like what Swing Science does. Their fitting irons have worked well for me.

colej ahhhh, I see. Nice ... Not a bad looking fitting system.....can see on the second pic the hole in the hosel! Look like a contender in the minimal offset shovels!

The FC one iron heads are highly underrated. Nice players clubheads.

Got a new set of Integra I-drive in the swap shop. 4, 6, 8. 😎

Are those white shafts anyway close to program 80?

Unsure, as I haven't fitted anyone with any Matrix shafts for years. Torque ratings close but torque is too subjective to rate shafts. Swing Science devised the FC-One Plus shafts to go along with the woods, hybrid and irons for seniors, ladies and men with lower club head speed. Myself I don't hit them ultra high so they don't balloon on me. Good price for the results.

They were fair. Made it 2 rounds before I went back to "regular" irons. The 6, 7, and 8 were solid. I just had a hard time looking down at the 9 and PW hybrids.

Same problem for me. But the clubs themselves were solid? I may try a 7H.

Yes. They are good clubs IMO. Zero complaints. Actually a little longer for me overall.

I played some practice holes with the FC One plus irons. They are super shovels, and a fair amount of bounce, so not like hybrids in that sense. But they are very comfortable to play. I really liked the 9, P, S. Just smack the ball and it goes straight and high, with a lot of spin. The SW is super simple out of a bunker.

I took the big FC One+irons out tonight. They’re definitely better for me right now. I’ve also changed my setup, and it’s helping. But the FC Ones+ are my best choice.

I will even put the 6 iron in next time.
