Hybrid alternatives ?

derra

Looking for some recommendations on a 18/19 * iron.
My set is Cobra S9 2 - 5 to SW.
Waiting on a 4 iron to be delivered which is a 22.5* loft.
3 iron for that set is hard to find anywhere and was told it might be easier near end of year when Puma take over Cobra and they will get rid of all their old stock.
Have tried several hybrids and just don't like them and maybe a utility iron like the one below be better suited.


At the moment i'm looking at this 18*,regular, steel shaft and decent price!
Anyone have one of thes?

Anyone know of any other makes that i could look at ?

Mizuno have a driving iron of sorts, "MP Fli HI" not sure of availability or cost though.

I'm surprised u had tried several hybrids and dont like them. They are probably the best invention in golf. I too have a cobra s2 irons from 6-SW, i also have a 19 & 22 &26 deg Cobra Rail Hybrid, they are soooo easy to use.
Sometime when im not playing too well and my irons are all over the place, especially around 150 yards i play with a 26 deg hyrid and hit a shorter swing. Its that easy

I hope a couple people reply and say they also don't use them

Would'nt dream of hitting one of them from 150 yards nor go out without my 5 iron as i hit them all very well with my swing, i seem to change my whole address with the hybrids and swing for that matter and have tried every which way with them.

I do feel more comfortable with an iron in my hand, more in control with what i do with it and very confident on address looking down on a iron.
Will be glad to get my 4 iron put it that way

I have recently bought a 19 degree Wilson hybrid but finding very hard to use.Do you play the hybrid like a iron or wood

have used the Wilsom fybrid's,there isn't an easier club on the market to hit consistantly,and btw i don't get your question,swing is the same for a hybrid or long iron,well it is for me,only thing that changes is stance in relation to the ball
