In our forums, our members have been discussing hybrids. WRXer ‘BEJRSFTA’ is on the hunt for a hybrid that goes high but doesn’t go left, and kicks off the thread saying:

“I’ve always wanted to make hybrids work as I transition out of long irons, but I’ve never been completely in love with any that I’ve found. 

The G430 hybrids felt awesome and were very forgiving, but tended to play really low for me and I could occasionally get more left than I would like to see if I banged it out of the toe.

The Cobra King Tec is probably the closest thing I’ve found to what I’m looking for. With the weight in the toe I’ve yet to hit it left, and I usually hit a mid window which I’m happy enough with. My only minor nit with the King Tec is that it’s a bit bigger than hybrids I’ve played in the past, so it feels closer to a fairway wood in terms of size than what I’m used to. I like this club, but wouldn’t say I’m in love. 

Ideally would like to get the performance of a King Tec with the feel and size / shape of the G430, but not sure that exists.

Any suggestions on what else to consider?”

• wardonation: “For me, it is the GT2 with heavy weight in toe.”
• Tyler724: “I play the G430 hybrid. I don’t have issues with it going left for me. Try the flat settings if you have not already. I do find the G430 a little lower flight than some other hybrids of similar loft (which I like), but I believe the G440 was supposed to launch a bit higher. Good luck.”
• dmeeksDC: “You may need to build the club you seek. I copied this idea from a plus-handicap pro and I love it. Get a club marketed toward slower swingers who want more launch and modify it for your game. I bought a Callaway ai Smoke HL (high launch) hybrid and dumped the lightweight stock shaft in favor of a 90 gram Project X Evenflow black. I shortened it a bit too. They’re outstanding hybrids. They’re also adjustable, so you can get the flight you like. And it’s not huge. Perfect weapon, very versatile. One of my favorite clubs ever.”
