Hybrids
American Golf presents a substantial lineup of hybrids in order to improve a golfers’ long-game. Hybrids are an increasingly popular combination of both a longer iron and a fairway wood, hence the obvious naming – a hybrid of the two! At the low end of the bag, the majority of players struggle with consistency, ball striking and so forth distance, when opting to play a lower iron. Increased lofted fairway woods can improve this, but naturally with their larger, round head size, these also prove to be extremely difficult to control and use out of the thick rough. This marvellous hybrid invention provides extreme forgiveness and allows a player to generate a higher flighting ball which they would struggle to do so with a lower iron. Hybrids are the perfect size to cut through the heavy grass and help deliver a solid strike unlike a lower iron which gets stuck in the thick grass and thus prompts a chunky connection. Our vast range of hybrids are available across the majority of leading golf brands such as TaylorMade, Callaway Golf, Wilson Staff, Benross, Cobra Golf, Ping, Titleist, Honma, MacGregor and Tour Edge .
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.

What is a hybrid golf club?
Hybrid golf clubs are a blend between an irons and a fairway wood, taking the accuracy and swing of the former and merging it with the distance and ease of use of the latter. They’re very forgiving clubs, making them popular with recreational players and beginners, because of their high launch angle, increased ball spin, and soft landing.
How to hit a hybrid golf club?
You can use the same swing set-up as you do for your irons, essentially hitting down on the ball from a centralised stance. Don’t take a sweeping swing, but instead hit the ball on the descent rather than scooping it up from the side. For your stance, make sure you have squared your feet and shoulders, point your feet towards the target, and line your hands up with the ball.
How to choose a hybrid golf club?
Choosing the right hybrid golf club depends on which golf clubs you’re looking to replace, or which you feel you’d perform better without. Hybrid golf clubs are commonly used to replace anything from 3-woods to 9-woods, and it all depends on the loft. For example, hybrids with a low loft can be used to replace 3 to 5-woods, those with moderate lofts to replace 5 or 7-woods and even sometimes 3 or 4-irons. These are however general suggestions and we’d always recommend coming in for a custom fitting, as the right hybrid golf clubs do depend on your swing speed.
Do you need a hybrid golf club?
Many beginners and recreational golf players find they perform well with hybrid golf clubs, and if you’re a player that needs forgiveness in their shots then hybrid golf club sets are probably for you. You can use them almost all over the golf course, making them very versatile and cost-effective. However, for more seasoned or confident golfers, you may not ‘need’ a hybrid, unless you’re more comfortable using them. Many seasoned golfers all the way up to professionals forego hybrids, but then again pros like Jason Duffner are known to favour them.
