Men's golf hybrids

The replacement for long irons

The hybrid, or rescue, combines the compact head of a wood and the length of an iron. Its low and rear centre of gravity makes the ball launch more easily than a long iron, especially from the rough or a difficult lie. Most golfers have replaced their three and four irons with hybrids, which are more forgiving: they strike more consistently and higher.

Choosing your model

The TaylorMade Qi Max and Max Lite hybrids, which are very forgiving, are suitable for improving golfers; the Qi standard and the Stealth, which are more compact, are for more consistent players. The Srixon ZX Mark II, available in a left-handed version, is loved by good players for its feel. The Wilson Dynapwr and Profile provide accessible and easy-to-play alternatives.

Loft and shaft

You choose the hybrid's loft to fill the gap between your most open fairway wood and your longest iron: from nineteen to twenty-two degrees for a three or four, twenty-five to twenty-seven degrees for a five. The shaft should match your swing speed: Light for soft swings, Regular for most, Stiff for fast swings.

Frequently asked questions

Which golf hybrid should I choose to replace my long irons?

A three hybrid generally replaces a three iron, and a four hybrid replaces a four iron, at equivalent lofts. Check the distance gap with your longest iron and your fairway wood to avoid overlaps.

How to play a hybrid in golf?

Place the ball slightly forward of centre in your stance, just like you would for a long iron, and sweep it downwards slightly. There’s no need to try to lift it: the hybrid’s low centre of gravity does the work.

Which shaft to choose for a men’s hybrid?

The Regular shaft is suitable for most amateur golfers, the Stiff for fast swings, and the Light for slower swings. A shaft that is too stiff often causes the ball to go low and to the right for a right-handed player.

How many hybrids should you carry in your golf bag?

The rules allow a maximum of fourteen clubs. One or two hybrids are often enough, but a golfer with a moderate speed may carry three, removing their longest irons.

Hybrid or fairway wood, what’s the difference?

The fairway wood, being longer, goes farther and is suitable for the fairway. The hybrid, which is shorter and more precise, is easier to play from the rough and on difficult lies, where its compact head cuts through the grass better.
