pug Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akapur Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpbachman Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 You have to check out the Modart. Easy to launch, pleasing to the eye and great feel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needmoregolf Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 + 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLL33 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Sorry dude just read the topic heading....scratch the crazys and romaros and you probably got the best 3 this year :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smstef Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Miura HB with aerotech steelfiber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pug Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Thank you all! Gonna check out what you fantastics fellows have recommended, esp the Modart! Think I will opt for Crazy Black UT shaft ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevopagolf Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLL33 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 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.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 The new Srixon UT is supposed to be nice, also the Yamaha RMX UT I know from experience is just all around really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pug Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 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. The new Srixon UT is supposed to be nice, also the Yamaha RMX UT I know from experience is just all around really good.

Hutch Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Am currently gaming the 903 20* 23* with SPO, ridiculously easy and long, great feel to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freehb04 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 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)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pug Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 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).

mr0857 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 +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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
