People ask me all the time for help with their long irons. And the first thing I tell them is to get a three, four and five hybrid to replace those long irons. Hybrids are far more effective option; for those of us with average to below average clubhead speed; than the long iron because the nature of the clubhead allows for the player to sustain more lag angle in the downswing. And as we all know, the better the lag, the farther the ball goes. Don’t believe me? Next time you’re at your local golf shop, take your five iron and hit a few balls versus a five hybrid, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
