Lumpy930: I made the change earlier in the year and lost a 4 iron. Hybrids are easier to launch high and offer more versatility. You will need to adjust, but you can get better with higher cuts for approach shots and flatter shots for tee shots. Refer to the one handicap with 110mph driver swing speed. I didn’t feel fast enough to hit 4 iron, so I used the hybrid. 27* 5 Iron and Titleist hybrid at 25 *.” -

The yardage gaps have closed and now allow for a better landing angle to help greens stay put. I am a 6 in index and have similar yardages. If they help me score higher, I will happily wear a bouquet of headcovers. I fear that 6 iron will be replaced someday as it is my low escape club .” -

I felt more confident that every 200ish shot would be acceptable when I switched to a 4-hybrid. You are more consistent with your misses. I have found the trick to finding one that doesn’t swing left. Some don’t behave well with my swing span>
