Overridden iron clubs with Hybrid Golf Clubs

Iron golf clubs having 3, 4 or 5 irons and more seem to be bulky and heavier for many golfers to use. An alternative to them are the hybrid golf clubs which are much more compact and are easier to hit, longer, straighter shots, and provide more versatility than their iron counterparts.

Hybrid clubs have their popularity worldwide and if you are still not using them, then a serious thought needs to be put in. what factors inhibit you from using hybrid golf clubs and how they can benefit you and thus are strongly considered for replacing many clubs in your bag.

Hybrid clubs have an advantage of hitting the ball sweetly and timely to long distances as compared to iron clubs. Iron clubs are relatively hard to grip while hitting huge shots because their center of gravity is located at an inappropriate level as compared to hybrid ones with much backward center of gravity. When the center of gravity is set back, it provides a higher launch angle resulting in a higher ball trajectory and thus easier to hit.
Also they have a small sweet portion making them unfit for long range shots.

Iron clubs, due to their inappropriate location of center of gravity, have shorter lengths as compared to hybrid golf clubs. The shaft length in hybrid ones is longer than their iron counterpart which is evident from the fact, the average shaft length for a 3 iron is around 38.5" while the equivalent 20 degree hybrid is 41" longer. Also hybrid clubs have a larger sweep area, thus larger hitting area providing a straight trajectory.

Another advantage of hybrid golf clubs is their usability in a variety of situations like out of fairway bunkers, "bump and runs," long par 4 approach shots, long par 3's, out of the rough, and even off the tee when accuracy is a premium, thus providing great versatility.

Adams, Callaway, Ping, Taylormade, Cleveland and Nickent are some of the popular hybrid makers. Apart from it players like Bazooka, Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones, Cobra, Mizuno, Nike, Tommy Armour, and Wilson are some who produce comparable hybrids. The later ones have also invested some part in other areas also.

All the above advantages make hybrid golf clubs quite popular among both the recreation and professional players. Thus to think a game of golf without hybrid clubs is like compromising on the quality of your performance. Some of PGA tour players are even making the switch. Thus hybrid golf clubs form one of the biggest and sometimes the sole reason for efficient performance.
