[SHIBUMI]

used to be called Boom Boom because of his long drives. Today they just call him boom. Hybrids are the answer to a decrease in swing speed.

I've had both in my bag for the last month or so and today I took out the 5 Iron. Hit once today and hit it awful.

I didn't play with any hybrids (or a 3 wood), until up 10-12 years ago. 1st I added a 3 wood, got rid of my 1 Iron and replaced my 3 iron with a hybrid. About 5 years ago, replaced my 4 iron with a hybrid. Today, I replaced my 5 Iron.

I keep hearing about guys on Tour using 7 Woods, but I opted for a very small hybrid, that I can get at the ball when it's in deep rough.

I've read that Freddy Couples is playing with all Hybrids, up to his 6 Iron. Probably the most famous Hybrid user, was Dana Quigley. Dana made about $13M on the Senior Tour and by the time he quit playing, he was using Hybrids up to 7 Iron. (Your browser is not supported | usatoday.com)

I'm now carrying 3 hybrids ... a 19 degree, 22 degree & 25 degree.

I think anyone who's not carrying a couple of hybrids or high-lofted woods, is unnecessarily handicapping himself.
