Hello sports fans,
I am fairly new to golf and am interested in updating my clubs with the hybrid clubs. They seem easier to hit for a high handicapper like me. My question is what hybrid replaces what iron? I hit a five iron approx. 160 yards. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide. Now I must go out and shovel the twelve inches of snow we got last night.

Hybrids are used to replace the 3 and 4 iron most commonly. This is because the longer irons are more difficult to hit.

I actually have hybrids as replacements for my 5 wood and my 3 iron which is a little uncommon but this is because I dislike 5 woods and the 3 hybrid hits the ball higher and lands softer than an iron.

brushbob, get the lofts of your current irons checked. Then replace whichever clubs you like with hybrids of the same loft, built to the same length of the irons they're replacing.
