Had a pretty solid tournament last weekend. Won some gift certificates to the pro shop. What to buy... What to buy??
The place I had been struggling was with the occasional 4 or 5 iron. I used to carry a 2-iron and hit it great. That "gift" disappeared a few years ago. Then, the 3-iron was replaced with a hybrid. The gift certificates were more than enough to pick up a pair of Adams hybrids... a 4h and 5h. My irons now begin at the 6-iron.
Never could hit hybrids. Over the years, I've probably had at least 2 dozen hybrids come and go. Hook machines. Couldn't keep one in the same zip code. But, would keep trying... and keep moving them through the bag. Picked up my 3h Callaway a couple seasons ago for something like $12 bucks out of the used bin. Something in my swing changed, because I hit it really well. The 3h had earned its way into a permanent place in the bag. Hopefully, this 4h and 5h will do the same.
I've now got about 5 rounds on these hybrids. They, too, were cast offs from someone else. Good condition with original head covers. They have been extremely dependable, so far. The only problem is understanding the addition of hybrids to the bag is directly proportional to the addition of years to the body. My skill with long irons is but a foggy memory. Making the turn, I want to toss a towel over the top of my bag so someone doesn't see the bag full of hybrids and ask me to check in my "man card"............
