Hybrid Golf Clubs

Custom Fitting

Here at American Golf we pride ourselves in offering our acclaimed free custom-fitting process to guarantee your hybrid fits perfectly into your current set of clubs. Our recommended process can be completed both online and in-store to ensure each hybrid is right for you. Hybrids are available to be custom fitted although once certain club factors have been identified, the critical deciding factor, similar to the wedge process is configuring the best possible lofted hybrids a player requires.

Shaft Flex

All hybrids feature a graphite shaft to enable a golfer to obtain the maximum possible forgiveness, this is because this allows the player to generate increased swing speed and so forth promoting more height and therefore distance. Like any other club the required shaft flex option is dependent on a golfer’s clubhead speed, the two should correspond with each other in order to match the club’s ability to bend parallel to the speed of the golfer’s swing. This allows the golfer to feel in complete control of the club head’s path and thus prompting a more confident delivery towards impact. Our custom-fitting process guarantees to deliver in finding the most suitable shaft flex to suit you which will ultimately depend on maximising results.

Lofts

Once the correct shaft flex has been determined, our experts will choose the correctly lofted hybrid or hybrids a player requires depending on how many they wish to include in their golf bag. This process is virtually identical to the one done when gapping for a set of wedges, after all these hybrids are there to replace the longer irons and so the right lofts must be chosen to ensure you fill the correct gaps. Hybrids are available in the form of a 2 hybrid (17-18 degrees), 3 hybrid (19-21 degrees), 4 hybrid (22-23 degrees), 5 hybrid (24-27 degrees) and 6 hybrid (28-31 degrees). Ideally the 2 hybrid replaces the 2 iron and 4 wood, the 3 hybrid replaces a 3 iron and 5 wood, the 4 hybrid replaces a 4 iron and 7 wood, a 5 hybrid replaces a 5 iron and 9 wood and a 6 hybrid replaces a 6 iron and 11 wood. Most players normally look at replacing their 4 iron with a 4 hybrid and add a 3 hybrid to fill the distance gap between their fairway woods. The choice of which irons to replace is completely down to the golfer’s preference, however we persist in advising which number and lofted hybrids would fit perfectly into a golfer’s set. Following the highly popular benefits that hybrids possess, golfers are continually adding these into their bag, with some even going the full way and purchasing hybrid sets of irons.

Adjustability

Depending on the make and model some of the hybrids in our collection offer the ability to be tweaked via the perk of the adjustable hosel. This is an advantageous feature within being fitted for the correctly lofted hybrid as it provides further options for finely tuning, so that it meets the required specification to precisely fit into a player’s bag. The adjustability feature allows for further alterations to the loft and lie. Changing the loft can help provide the required higher/lower trajectory in order to fit the exact gap the golfer wishes to fill. Some models also offer the opportunity to slightly alter the lie angle which can be adjusted to help counteract those unintentional fade/draw shots which ultimately result in a lost ball. The idea of the introduced adjustability features is to make sure that the player receives the exact gapping and therefore benefit of the hybrid, but also with the hugely beneficial option of being able to alter this at a later date, should their swing or preference change. Hybrids offer the chance for a golfer of all ability to become deadly from those harder and longer distances from the greens. By replacing your longer irons with the correctly lofted hybrids from the advice given by our trained custom fitting team, be sure to see your long game improve tremendous amounts.
