Chris, a simple video that has fully explained and covered everything to do with playing long irons, hybrid it is then 👍 Many thanks Darran

I know at age 65 I should be using hybrids more often. But there's nothing in golf more fun and pleasing than hitting a long iron pure. I will stick with my two iron and four iron for the foreseeable future.

Hi Chris, thank you for this. A great video. I recently got rid of my long irons when I updated my set last year. Being Melbourne based and experiencing 6 Covid lockdowns where all courses were closed I started looking into hybrids. So my iron set now starts with a 6, whilst I now have a 4 and 5 hybrid clubs. I only wish I did it earlier as I’ve always struggled with the long irons and these hybrids have restored a bit of confidence now we are allowed back into the courses. 👍😎🇦🇺

Sounds like a perfect set up to me Marcus, anything over 6 is just really hard and unforgiving

An excellent video on long irons Chris! I am of the generation that grew up hitting long irons. Although I still love hitting them, my clubhead speed has subsided and I have now relented and gone to the recommended hybrid. As you suggested, the distance is there as well as a nice ball flight. Hopefully your experienced golfers will heed your advice to replace the long iron with the hybrid.

Hi Chris - thanks for all your great videos, I really love your presentation style. I'm a player with a bit slower swing speed, and would love to replace my 5 and 4 irons with hybrids - but unfortunately I struggle with hybrids and woods going quite left, whereas my longer irons I can keep straight (but my carry distance suffers). I have my irons set 2 degrees flat, and I suspect that hybrids are a bit too upright and I can't seem to keep the face from closing at impact. A future video with some tips and drills to help with this would be amazing!

another great video. being rather old now (70), I realize that woods are easier to play than irons. the problem is when the fairway is sloping, how to get well in front of the ball.we know that we have to move laterally. but it's not always obvious to get right. sorry for my bad english writing

@toreamundsen1 2 жыл бұрын

First video i saw which describe club speed needed for such clubs. I hit my irons in the 70s and never really achieved the loft i wished on longer irons and never will be, so glad i bought 1 hybrid and probably need one more :)

Great advice on getting comfortable with your long irons, one tip i have for you is to strengthen your grip a little bit that is why you are getting those shots that leak right

I hit my hybrids 195 y and 205 yards respectively. I delofted my irons so much at impact that my dynamic loft on them was less than 10 degrees. Hybrids saved my long game. Great video CR. thank you.

Is there a rule of thumb for the iron vs. hybrid decision ? For example, I swing my driver at 85 mph. Where, in my set, would I transition to a hybrid ?

@bestreviews3786 2 жыл бұрын

How well do you hit your 6 iron?

@mitchellthurner5980 2 жыл бұрын

There's no rule of thumb. There are also many long iron/hybrid, well, "hybrids" now. And it depends a lot on your attack angle and what you struggle with. If you have trouble hitting the ball high, go for more hybrids. If you have trouble with hitting the ball way left, fewer hybrids. *Edit: I feel that I can be more helpful. If you want a rule of thumb, hit your five iron. If it goes in the air high enough to hit and stay on a green and it goes 10 yards farther than your 6 iron, then keep your 5 iron. If not, get a hybrid.

@ChrisRyanGolf 2 жыл бұрын

Good question and not easy to answer but I’d probably say 5 would be the longest iron I suggest you vary
