This is spot on the money. There are so many professionals or professional instructors on KZbin who, frankly, if the gaffer taped a wok onto a broom handle would probably make a good fist of a swing. Using real life scenarios, no data, and getting high, middle and low handicappers to try a club is, IMO, exactly what’s required and is SO, SO helpful and useful. Great stuff.

Had a fitting on 7th March oddly enough. Tried the Ping hybrid, and T.M. M6, Cobra and the New APEX. For me the Callaway was hands down better for feel and distance. OMG I had an organism - or something that sounds like it.

I haven't hit every hybrid but I really like my Cobra F9 Hybrid. The baffles really do seem to work. I remember a lot of the older gents on the course would carry Cobra baffles but that was in the 80's too. lol

Great job Gentlemen, I have gotten away from the hybrid clubs because I would always hook them. I have a utility 2 iron that I have been doing quite well with. Maybe I should revisit the newer hybrid clubs and see if the hooks are designed out of them.

Joseph Dubiel ; I’m not sure I could say I can hit a draw when I need to yet in my game. I am very consistent with a hybrid and can play a slight fade pretty consistently and can hit a nice high “softer”landing shot to a green with some roll out. I am very aware of the type of shafts I prefer in my bag. Good luck

I hate when terms like “better player” gets bandied around. I’m a 20 handicap and much prefer the look and style of the apex hybrid. Same goes for regular irons, I’ll take a thin top line every time. Thick top lines always make me feel like I’m gonna chunk the heck out of the ball.

I'm not Andy, but generally for a club like these, the more forward in your stance the ball is, the higher they will go. I wouldn't play it extremely far forward like your driver, but perhaps similar to a 3wood location to start.

Nice H2H test Andy, I agree with Chad that I would probably go for the PING because it is adjustable and you could get the Ball flight dialled in for the shot shape that you wanted to see. I liked the little chip & run shot challenge you played at the end of the vid, I play this shot a lot and also use my Hybrid for longer Putts. Once you get accustomed to the speed that the Ball comes off the Clubface it's a really easy shot to play, particularly if like me your chipping is shite!
