QuestionHey, Im looking to buy a hybrid club but don't know what degree to get. I can hit a 4iron 160 meters and a 5wood 190 meters. I want a hybrid that hits around 175 meters. I dont know what degree my 4iron and my 5wood are. What degree hybrid would you recommend me to get?
Answer
Club Specs
Hello Ciaran, Not knowing the loft of your clubs and the length and flex of the shafts, it's nearly impossible to tell you what loft you'll need in a hybrid to give you 175 meters. I'm going to try and attach a file containing a chart. Unfortunately, the distances are in yards so you'll have to make the conversions. That might give you an idea of what lofts you now have.
Unfortunately, hybrid lofts come in ranges and vary among manufacturers. The best way to determine what hybrid you need is to visit a golf shop that has a fitting booth. I don't know if they have those in Dublin or if you're close enough to make the trip. If that's not an option, I would try hitting your friend's hybrids until you find the combination that works for you.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Fairways and Greens,
John
