So far in this series of getting to know your clubs, we’ve met The Golf Driver, The Fairway Woods, and the Golf Irons. Today we meet the Hybrid Iron. The Hybrid Iron Golf Club is exactly what the name implies.  It is a hybrid cross between a Fairway Wood and a Golf Iron.  You get these golf clubs the same as you would golf irons.  The lofts are the same as irons but the head is larger, not as large as a Fairway Wood, but larger than a Golf Iron.  Hence, Hybrid Iron.

The Hybrid Iron, for the most part, is available the same as irons from the #1 thru Sand Wedge and some manufacturers go as far as a Lob Wedge.  Most people opt to swap out their long irons, #3, #4  and sometimes #5 in favor of the same number Hybrid Irons.  There are a few lines that offer a complete set just like a set of Irons 3 thru Sand Wedge.  More than a few golfers are opting for this as they are easier to hit than a conventional Iron.  See  the Dynacraft Avatar XMOI Hybrid or the  Power Play Select 5000 Hybrid Iron

If you are one of those golfers that has trouble hitting your Irons then you should really consider trying out a Hybrid Iron.  Even if you only swap out your #3 or #4 to give it a try, it just could change your game.
