Posted August 19, 201410 yr comment_229849 We have hot fairways like PRGR Spoon, S-Yard XV and Onoff. Same situation for drivers. How about hybrids aka utility clubs? What are your must have? Need not be the latest model.
August 19, 201410 yr comment_229850 The Ryoma UT is the longest of the ones I have tried this year the Egg UT and Kasco Ut are also long and forgiving clubs
August 19, 201410 yr comment_229851 You have to check out the Modart. Easy to launch, pleasing to the eye and great feel...
August 19, 201410 yr comment_229852 You have to check out the Modart. Easy to launch, pleasing to the eye and great feel... +1 on the Modart... Versatile and hot off the face, probably not the longest but plenty of distance for me
August 19, 201410 yr comment_229854 + 1 on Modart for me as well, distance control, accuracy, ease of use and ability to make good contact with makes it my top choice. Ryoma for flat out forgiveness and big distance but making clean contact is more difficult than modart imo.
August 19, 201410 yr comment_229860 Nothing has been able to kick the Miura HB3 out of my bag. Long, straight, easy to hit, as easy to work and control as an iron. None of the usual hybrid hooks...
August 19, 201410 yr comment_229865 Have to agree with Ash, try the Ryoma Ut, don't let the minimum 21* fool you....bullits! Cant coment on the Mod as yet but if those 3 fellas say it is good then it must be. Crazy UTs are also Very satisfying, am also very keen to give the fuso dreams a run. You can't overlook one of the best performer in the last few years with the Romaro UTs
August 19, 201410 yr comment_229866 Sorry dude just read the topic heading....scratch the crazys and romaros and you probably got the best 3 this year :)
August 20, 201410 yr Author comment_229892 Thank you all! Gonna check out what you fantastics fellows have recommended, esp the Modart! Think I will opt for Crazy Black UT shaft ;)
August 20, 201410 yr comment_229895 I am most interested in the anti hook utilities. Given the more upright lie angles than the irons they replace and shorter shaft these are all prone to hook
August 20, 201410 yr comment_229896 As mentioned, the Miura HB series is an exception to the common hook problem. It sits behind the ball at address like a long iron, is controllable like an iron, but is far easier to hit long and get up in the air than a long iron. I use a 2-iron hybrid sometimes, especially off the tee, but I always keep the HB3 in my bag as well. It's fabulous off the fwy or out of the rough.
August 20, 201410 yr Author comment_229897 Yes, the Miura HB is really beautiful! I like the Romaro too! As mentioned, the Miura HB series is an exception to the common hook problem.

August 20, 201410 yr comment_229899 The new Srixon UT is supposed to be nice, also the Yamaha RMX UT I know from experience is just all around really good.
August 20, 201410 yr Author comment_229913 Yes, I heard that Srixon is releasing new gear. In fact, I am very tempted by their Z945 but may go for the Z725 Limited Edition instead. My only concern is that Srixon tends to be quite muted in terms of feel and sound. Yamaha is a favourite brand. Loves their current CB irons with NSPro Modus3 120. Super easy to hit and great distance. Sounds solid and explosive too! Too bad Onoff Forged with Roddio are in the bag now.

August 21, 201410 yr comment_229921 Am currently gaming the 903 20* 23* with SPO, ridiculously easy and long, great feel to boot.
August 24, 201410 yr comment_230062 U like the 903? I didn't get along with the 901 and generally haven't with di's - utes but u know how I am with epon products....it looked less forgiving than the 901 is it more forgiving? It looks awesome in the pics which is unusual for epon. Lmk Hutchy... As for the topic at hand, agree on the ryomas, Kasco and egg (although the new egg is weak IMO compared to the '11 version). Get yourself an old RC TRC. That can keep up w any of them IMO (all around...obviously the ryomas are longer)...
August 25, 201410 yr Author comment_230086 Do think think that I can handle a DI like the Epon 903. Fitness going down the hill and needs more forgiveness. Intrigued by the Egg hybrid for its unique shape and good stock shaft. Good recommendation on the RC TRC. Have not seen a good condition used one or may get one coz it's so cheap (<$100).

August 25, 201410 yr comment_230111 +1 on the Modart... Versatile and hot off the face, probably not the longest but plenty of distance for me Fully agreed! I also have RomaRo UT but Modart is even better overall! I bought two from Chris just showing how much I love this club!
