There is a difference in swinging a fairway wood and an iron, since the shafts are usually longer on a fairway wood. Some shots, especially those lying under a tree branch, may be far enough away to use a wood, but due to the location, the golfer has to use an iron, often sacrificing distance for accuracy. The new titanium hybrid golf club offers the best of both clubs, allowing the golfer to get the distance they need while playing from surfaces not idea for a full solid swing.
The titanium hybrid golf club combines everything that is good about a fairway wood and an iron into one club. The shorter shafts of hybrids enable the golfer to swing harder under less than ideal conditions as well as in the higher grass, off the fairway. When playing through the rough, a wood simply cannot slice through the grass, often leaving the ball falling short and to one side - while the iron may lift it out of the grass, but lacking in distance.
By using a titanium hybrid golf club the distance can be realized and the club can slice through higher grass like an iron. The loft on the ball at the time of take away is going to be similar to an iron, while the ball strike on the club's face is going to mirror that of a wood.
Low Irons Make For Difficult Shots
Many golfers simply have a lot of trouble going for distance with low irons. Numbers one through four may often be left in the trunk of the car or in the garage, instead of having to chase the ball into the woods. With a titanium hybrid golf club of the same number, the ball can be played from nearly any surface like an iron, with the feel and accuracy the golfer achieves with their fairway woods.
The titanium hybrid golf club also tends to have a lower trajectory than many of the low and mid irons. When they get closer to the pin, higher irons developed into a titanium hybrid golf club, such as a seven or nine, can become more of a utility club to get them out of trouble in higher grass or on dirt surfaces.
Since a titanium hybrid golf club can swing like an iron and strike like a wood, a golfer using them must learn new skills. It may some adjustment to learn to swing the hybrid like a wood, especially after years of using irons in the same situation.
