Now I think hybrids are one of the most underrated clubs you can have in your bag we’re not all blessed with the ball striking press of John RAM and Rory maroy and so hitting long irons off the Fairway can be particularly challenging I’ve tested 14 models from nine different brands to determine which
Hybrid is going to be best for your game now as much as hybrids will help you perform slightly better than say a long iron in terms of the technology implemented in them you still have to like how they look now there’s three that I’ve picked out for this year that
I think will catch the eye of most golfers now the first one is that of the mauno stz now this is a carry-on model from last year but I love how it looks behind the ball it’s a really small compact head teardrop kind of finish um the sight lines really help with
Alignment and the mauno logo on top just really help center that ball and will help promote a more Pure Strike now the middle ground I’m choosing is the qi1 rescue this is a rescue that surprised me it’s actually a touch larger than I thought it would be but this is the
Hybrid out of the three models released from tailor maid that will appeal to most golfers it’s a like I said a slightly larger footprint will inspire confidence behind the ball it’s got a slightly shallow face and one thing that has continued within the qi1 range this
Year is this silver alignment bar at the top of the face um will really help you square that club face up to Target thirdly and my overall pick for the best looking hybrid this year is the Cobra dark speed now this thing just looks Mega it’s stealthed out black on
Black with satin and gloss kind of tones to it it looks awesome behind the ball it’s it’s quite a compact looking head although the blade length itself is fairly long so that will inspire confidence for those who maybe hit one slightly out the toe and then the heel
But it looks awesome behind the ball and I’m going to be honest one of the reasons why I have picked this one over the others is the head cover the head cover game on the Cobra dark speed hybrid is exceptional now we’re going to talk
About the feel of the golf club here now feel is super important it’s very personal and very individualized but I’ve picked out three that feel and sound superb all for their own different reasons now the first one I’m going to highlight is the pxg Black Ops hybrid
Pxg have Incorporated a carbon crown on the top here which gives it a much more muted sound than previous models released by pxg it’s still a lot on it’s still more on the louder side of things but the feel off the face is superb let’s give one a hit here hopefully you
Can hear it struck really nicely there felt superb off the face produced a good distance as well now the second one I’m going to bring in bring you into is the titless tsr3 titless are known for their performance and field these feel superb off the face super soft a more muted
Thud likee sound one that I personally prefer and I I I feel like you get the same performance no matter where you hit these things on the face as you can tell there much more muted sound lovely ball flly feels superb but there is one hybrid that just
Took the spoils for me and that was the Callaway Paradigm AI smoke hybrid this thing looks awesome sounds awesome feels awesome I’m using awesome a lot it’s a big word but this one deserves it feels superb off the face thanks to AI smart face technology creating multiple sweet spots on the
Face oh how good is that if there’s ever a golf shot worthy of a like And subscribe on the golf monthly YouTube channel I think that was it okay so the eagled eyed amongst you will realize that I am actually no longer in madira I am remarkably in
Beauti for sunny England in December we did encounter some minor technical difficulties when it came to audio at madira so I’m continuing the video from the beautiful North Hance Golf Club here in Hampshire but this section is all about performance now there are three hybrids that stood out in terms of their
Performance this year the first of those being the tailor made Qi 10 tour hybrid now this is a much smaller more compact looking head that is definitely aimed at the more confident ball Striker and the player who likes to work the ball around playing with their trajectory and ball flight especially from distance
There’s good levels of adjustability here through a a huzzle that allows you to change Loft and Li to promote certain ball flights But ultimately this produced really fast ball speeds and a ball flight that I really like to look of it was actually the second longest
Out of the hybrids that I tested this year with an average of 241 yards now the second model that really stood out in terms of its performance was the ping g430 hybrid now now this is a carry-on model from last year but it’s still relevant in the Ping lineup it is their
Most current hybrid model release now where I really thought the performance of this was excellent was from the differing lies that you find yourself um in on a golf course it performed excellently off the te produced a really really high penetrative flight but also performed excellently from those lies
That aren’t so great now when hitting off Fairways into par fivs or long par fours the tendency for me in particular with long or hybrids is to hit them slightly thin um slightly low on the face now this hybrid produced a really high ball flly even when I was to hit it
Slightly low on the face and it gave me that forgiveness that I needed when I’m coming into a green from distance producing that high flight and got the ball coming in really steeply into greens meaning I could hold greens from distance and for that reason I really
Really like this hybrid okay so the third but final hybrid I have chosen in terms of the performance with we’ve seen this year is the Cobra dark speed hybrid now as you can see from the table here this thing performed superbly and was an absolute monster on the golf course
Pushed on 150 mph bull speed and produced an average carry of 243 yards now this hybrid was just insane from a variety of Lies produced a really high penetrative ball flight that was ideal for hit in into long par fours even par 3es and especially par fives allowing
You to attack pins that you wouldn’t normally be able to get to with a long iron now the power Bridge technology is something that we have seen from Cobra the last couple of releases but also the hot face technology really allows this face to react producing those fast ball
Speeds but also that waiting lowers the center of gravity and allows this club to produce really high forgiving ball flights so if I was to choose a best performing hybrid from 2024 it would be the Cobra dark speed now it looks superb feels great but also performs excellently it’s suitable for all levels
Of golfers and that’s something I think is what makes this club superb now it doesn’t have the adjustability that others do but it is available in multiple Loft options so you can be sure to find one that fits in your bag so when it comes to hybrid performance versatility is a key factor
Now there are a few models that I’d like to point out this year that perform excellently in terms of maneuvering ball flights such as the pxg Black Ops and the titless tsr3 as mentioned in the performance section however there’s one that stood out to me and that was the
Paradigm AI smoke now the reason I’m shouting this hybrid out in particular is because of how well it performed from differing lies in particularly the rough now this thing launches extremely high but out the rough it still delivers a really high towering ball flight perfect for advancing the ball down par FES like
This or hitting into long par fours let’s see how we get on out the rof oh as you can see there absolutely launched that ball from the first cut of rough here and that has put me in perfect position to try and get up and
Down for my Birdie on this par five now after testing all the models available in 2024 I’ve narrowed it down to my top three hybrids now to kick off and in third place I’m going to choose the tailor made q i 10 now it’s a new
Product for this year I just think it looks superb the gloss black finish on the top but also the technology in there with the speed pocket and the V steel system on the bottom really allows this to go through Turf excellently great combination of looks and performance in
Second place I’m going to go for all around forgiveness but all around performance in the ping g430 hybrid performs amazingly out of multiple lies was the easiest hybrid to hit that I tested this year and for that reason I think this will suit so many golfers and
It has to be in my top three but if I’m going to Crown a champion it has to be the cobri dark speed hybrid now cobd seems to have a knack of producing excellent hybrids after last year the king Tech won my best hybrid of the Year
Video but this Cobra dark speed has it all it has forgiveness distance feel and looks and for that reason the Cobra dark speed is the best hybrid of 2024
