Pro Tip: Which Hybrid Is Right For You?

Over the past number of years, you have probably dabbled with hybrids near the top of your bag. You might even now carry multiple. Find the right one, and you will find it easy to hit from all sorts of lies and fill yardage gaps.

If you’re carrying a 2-, 3-, or 4-iron, but aren’t usually a high swing speed player, you could probably remove these from your bag. Without enough clubhead speed or solid contact, you won’t hit your potential distance and may even injure your wrists in thick rough.

So, if you are a high swing speed player and you’re still using the 2- or 3-iron from your set, you’re probably leaving distance and forgiveness on the table. Today it’s all about driving irons; just look at the bag setups of TOUR pros when they go play in The Open Championship.

Do you swing over 105 mph with your driver? Consider upgrading your bag with a pre-owned TaylorMade GAPR Lo driving iron. In the proper hands this club is a stinger launcher. It’s the most compact head in the GAPR family. It combines the look of a driving iron with power, precision, and optimal forgiveness.

Slotting in between the driving iron and hybrid is the TaylorMade GAPR Mid. It has minimal offset similar to an iron, but generates power like a metalwood hybrid. Perfect for the low- or mid-handicap player that struggles on long par 3’s or those longer approach shots on par 4’s where a long iron inevitably comes up short.

Finally, the TaylorMade GAPR Hi is the GAPR family’s true hybrid, which could fit nicely into just about any player’s bag. This traditional hybrid head shape is created with a unique dropped crown contour. This allows for increased versatility and straight line drives. With an optimized center of gravity, the GAPR Hi has a hotter, higher launch for more distance and improved playability.
