johnnydoom I hit the hybrid on a higher trajectory, but with no consistency of direction whatsoever.
Try to find out with a similar lie angle, similar length, similar weight to the iron you are trying to replace. I tell ya, that's the key. Off the rack hybrids blow for me, but playing them shorter with heavier shafts (to really simulate the iron experience) has been miraculous. You're literally hitting a high launching, forgiving iron. Just looks different.
I am not surprised that a longer, lighter club is more difficult to hit for most people.
