Phillip Alexander Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I'm just looking at the post for the new Epon hybrids, which got me thinking... I currently carry Mizzy UX-2 20* and 23*. However the thought crossed my mind to perhaps replace the 23* with an Epon or something similar (driving iron hybrid as opposed to a wood type hybrid) ) and create a transition to the irons. The result would be 3 wood wood type hybrid driving iron hybrid irons Just a thought....I wonder what others think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry_757 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) I'm going to put the 22* Epon driving iron in place of my current 21* hybrid. I just feel like it will be more accurate for me. I prefer the long irons if I have time to practice which I hope to be able to do more this year. Also I think it will be a good transition if I can get the AF901 in a steel shaft similar to what I'm playing in my irons now which should create a similar feel. I think thats a big plus. Since this is an iron type club I would think the lie angle could be adjusted. This would be a plus for me since I like to play my irons 2* flat.

gocchin Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 The hybrid wood combinations is something I've been experimenting with... a LOT... I've gone from one wood with 3 hybrids to one wood with 2 hybrids to two woods with 2 hybrids to two woods with one hybrid and with all different kinds of hybrids (wood style, iron style) I think I will start the season with two woods and two hybrids which will be an RC 14* with Yamaha iFF 17*, then 21* and 23* Egg hybrid irons to replace my long irons. It's possible after I test the 901 I might like that too... as usual just too much to choose from. (^_^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backspin9 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Maybe it's just me, but I didn't think that the driving iron type of hybrids were all that easy to hit. Off the tee they were ok but off the deck a 4 iron was still kind of iffy. What made the most difference was playing wood type hybrids that were the same length and loft as my long irons with the same type of shaft which for me is a Nippon 105g steel. They get the same distance as a long iron, maybe slightly longer, but have a tremendous amount of control and accuracy and are infinately easier to hit. Just my .02.
