Are there any advantages to the new hybrid clubs over the conventional long irons?
Hybrid clubs offer an unmatched advantage to mid and high handicappers and that’s higher trajectory. As the balls flies higher the carry of your ball translates in more yards and softer landings. Long irons tend to be difficult to hit because their face is smaller than a hybrids and the swing speed you need to launch that ball is very high. Also the trajectory is lower so they tend to run off hot after landing. The hybrid club helps you launch you ball on a better angle. the same launch angle you need with a long iron and is more difficult achieve it. The recommendation is to place a hybrid instead of an iron if you can´t hit 6 or more good solid shots with the same loft.
