Golf: hybrid clubs, worth the hype?

Chronos asked:

I’m a beginner golfer. Had trouble with the long irons, but did fairly well with the shorter sticks, wedges, and fairway woods/driver. I was looking at this set of hybrid/irons (http://www.adamsgolf.com/Ideaa2a2OSHybrids.htm). Anyone used them? Experience with hybrid clubs?

Thanks!

    I have alot of experiance with hybrids. They are tough to get used to, but once you get used to them, they’ll replace your low irons. They really are awesome!!

    I carry two in my bag – 18 and 22 degrees. Sometimes I hit them and just marvel how far and straight the ball goes. Toss anything less than a 5 iron and play the hybrids. Your game will love you for it.

    Hybrids are nice, but if you put in the time and make sure you hit a 3 or 4 iron on the driving range a lot, you’ll have better success with the irons.

    The players that are good with three and four irons can hit them as far off the tee as a 3 or 5 wood. Seriously. Not to mention the control and the draw will make your shots then envy of all your golf buddys.

    Play with hybrids on the course. Bring the irons to the range and then try them out, it’s really not as hard to hit as people say.

    Hybrids are definitely worth the hype. You can now see tour players and club professionals with them in their bags — that’s the best endorsement in the world. I have always liked my irons, but I could never hit by 3 iron the way I hit my 3 hybrid. Especially for a beginner, the hybrids are the way to go. I couldn’t follow your link, but Adams makes a good product and I’m sure you can’t go wrong. The price is good, too. BTW, I would NEVER suggest that a beginner golfer take long irons to the range and keep trying to hit them. It will ruin your golf swing. The clubs should fit you; you should not have to fit the clubs. Do what even the golf pros are doing now and go with the hybrids.

    I used to be against hybrids, saying, “they’re for people who don’t want to practice enough to hit long irons.” However, after practicing with one, I realized that they are a much simpler alternative to long irons, but produce the same results. Also, they are capable of being used for a wider variety of shots. If you find one you like, use it.

    one key item here, you are a beginner…hitting hybreds will be much easier for you than long irons…your time working on swing will be well served concentrating on hitting flags at 100 yards and in and putting…too much emphasis is put on hitting the driver well and hitting long irons well…if you dont play well from 100 yards in you will always score high, no matter how far you hit the ball…
