Callaway X-Hybrid 3 Is In My Bag
A couple months ago, I figured I would do much better replacing my existing 3-iron with a hybrid because I was getting much better contact even with my 2-hybrid than the 3-iron. I shopped around and tried out a few different ones but for some reason, I hit the ball with the Callaway X-Hybrid the best.
I'm not sure if it's because of the stainless steel club head or the VFT technology, but I love how it feels and sounds on solidly struck shots. On the launch monitor, I could see that my balls were consistently flying higher than any other club and also farther, which also helped my decision.
Another decision that I had to make with this club was the shaft. I was used to steel shafts on my irons and graphite shafts on my woods and hybrids. For this particular club, I tried them both. In the end, the steel version won my vote because of the extra consistency I was getting from the results on the launch monitor. The distance differences were tighter on the steel version and there were also less shots going off line without any lost in distance.
Once I used it on the course, I was even happier with the decision. It might've been the modified X-sole design that Callaway was advertising or something else but hitting the ball in the rough is much easier. In fact, I can hit the ball with the hybrid much better than anything longer than an 8 iron. Now when I'm in the trees, I choke down on my hybrid and do a punch shot back out to the fairway. I can even get good distance with this shot so most of the time I'm not even losing a stroke by hitting it back out in the fairway.
One of the more talked about feature of a hybrid is using it to chip. To be honest, this is not a shot in my arsenal and I haven't really practiced it so I cannot comment much but with the hybrid being much shorter than other similar clubs, I can see why a this type of club would work well with the bumping chip shot.
If there are any complains, it would be that sometimes the ball goes too high during windy situations but this is a minor issue for me because I rather hit solid shot after solid shot than tough it out on a windy day with my 3-iron.
Overall, I'm extremely happy with the decision to replace my 3-iron with the Callaway X-Hybrid. For those that still have a 3-iron, I highly recommend trying this club at the local golf shop. Who knows, you might knock a couple strokes off your score!

In 5 years, 5 irons and under will be like niblicks and mashies.
So true! My wife already has an all-hybrid set. I wonder when the men sets will be like that too.
The Open starts tomorrow !
I play the Adams Hybrid. I’ve always loved it over the long irons well before the media and pros started using it so I’ve been having a “leg up” on my playing partners for a while
Now that everyone knows the “secret”, the player field is even again.
I tried a few hybrids out and I was just never able to hit them well. I always hit my irons solid and straight; however, with the hybrid, I seem to top the ball more often than not. What’s the trick?
I’m not a PGA Tour Pro or anything so treat this advice with care. In any case, how are you setting up to the ball? With hybrids, you are supposed to set it up like an iron and the way to get the ball up in the air is by hitting down and compressing the balls with the club and the ground.
These hybrids are more consistent,if you have not tried these just get one and try it on, who in the heck are going to be playing the same set of clubs in 5 years anyhow? something else will come out but for a couple years these will be fun

I have tried just about every club set model and so decided some of these club sets are now the most desirable there may be,because of the new units emerging into the field recently it definately is difficult to make your mind up exactly what to end up getting.

Ive worked with almost any golf club company and therefore decided these club sets are definitely the best there does exist,with the brand new makes coming on to the stage of late it definately is tough to figure out just what exactly to acquire.
