My 2 iron is irreplaceable…through many years of “experimentation”, I can slice and hook low around trees with distance when in jail, key to my “bomb and gouge” philosophy…
I've been stubbornly hanging onto my long irons too and for the same reason. It can be windy as fuck here and a low 3 iron from 170 yards has a better chance of dining the green in the wind than a muscled up 5 or 6 iron that goes a mile high.
But...last year I threw a 19* TM rescue in for my 3 iron just to give it a chance. I found that not only is it easier and more accurate on those low trouble shots, it all but eliminated horrible shots when I'm out 200 yards. I might still miss the green, but not by much.
So I just bought a matched set of Srixon ZH 85 hybrids 2-4 and am going to dump the 4 iron too. That's how im starting the season anyways.
Anybody else have a similar experience with the hybrids?
I’ve always found it easier to hit my irons out of the rough than my fairway woods (particularly if the ball is sitting down) … but the consistency with the long irons is really hit or miss.
I’m definitely contemplating getting a hybrid and trying one out but just not convinced there’s a ton of utility to add versus my 5 wood
I say if you like your 5-wood and you've played a long time using it and your irons, you probably don't need the hybrids. For me, I couldn't hit a long iron to save my life and the hybrids worked for me just because they seem to be more forgiving. I'm a shitty golfer though, so no superiority guy angle here.
I’m very comfortable with my 5 wood[/b] off the tee but my woods off the deck can be low bullets or high like off the tee
When I hit my long irons properly they are great … but the consistency isn’t there (particularly if I’m not actively working on them)

You sound pour.
@WhiskeyDawg @TommySQC @volcanodawg and I are best buds.
I'd like to meet @PurpleThrobber and @RaceBannon
I'd push pumpy down stadium stairs.
The world couldn't handle all the absolute awesomeness of The Throbber, @MikeDamone and @RaceBannon all gathered in one spot.

That was funny when Yella said it. Now not as much.
Went out yesterday for the first time since july and shot a 126.
I also lost my pitching wedge somewhere on the front 9. Didn't even bother to look. Need to change out the entire bag, start from scratch.
Might have to switch to bocci ball.
