The Best Hybrid Golf Clubs in History

Hybrid golf clubs maximize the power of a wood with the elevation of an iron. Golf historians claim that Gary McCord (ex professional golfer and analyst) suggested the “hybrid” idea to TaylorMade in 2002. TaylorMade responded with the “Rescue Club”.

What is a Hybrid Golf Club?

The best hybrid golf clubs are also called “utility” clubs; suggesting an all-purpose combination club that fills in where other clubs fail.

Hybrid technology has targeted the “Moment of Inertia” (MOI) and “Center of Gravity” (COG) for a more optimum impact. The best hybrid golf clubs have lowered the COG with the larger club head and added the higher “angle” iron flat face to spin the ball more rapidly. The bottom has “runners” or “rails” to plow over difficult terrain.

Recreational golfers believe the hybrid is easier to use, emphasizing the compact heads offering “forgiveness” on the swing.

Professional golfers might use the shorter shafted hybrids for better control and accuracy. The best hybrid golf clubs are lauded as cutting through windy conditions with more effective “punch shots.”

Hybrid golf clubs are also divided into powerful irons and shallow-faced categories. Some companies have marketed these hybrids as a more potent “pitching wedge”, designed with greater loft to get out of a tough lie.
