I tend to get a much nicer version of, "Your swing is so pretty--why isn't your score any better?" [answer: too handsy]

Basically, I swing like a girl.

So for the time being, no hybrids will reside in my bag.

I decided today I'm right there with you. As I mentioned I was fairly sure earlier, but playing yesterday and going to the range today sealed the deal. **** hybrids. I hit some really pretty shots with it, but it's like 1 in 4, 1 in 3 at best. Screw that. I stripe it great with my 3i 7 out of 10 times, 2 completely tolerable with a little less height and distance, and 1 may be a total clicker that goes 100 yards. I'd rather have 1 out of ten that suck than 6-8 out of 10 that suck.

Now I think I'll look around for some bits to stick a 2 and 1 iron together just for shits and giggles. Who knows, maybe I'm one of the rare few that can nail a 1-iron. It would be a pretty sweet looking bag having just a driver poking out of a field of shiny irons.

Look no further go and try out a cobra baffler. I think you'll end up with one in your bag. I think its one of the best hybrids out
