Golf is a sport that encourages an obsession with perfection. Toward that end, both amateur and pro alike are always looking for something that will help them achieve that perfection. Enter hybrid golf clubs, a.k.a. utility clubs or rescue clubs. The best hybrid golf clubs do a wonderful job of capturing the advantages of an iron along with those of a fairway wood.
Pro golfers have not overlooked hybrid golf clubs either. Using a hybrid instead of an iron provides them a competitive advantage without cost. The pros cannot afford to pass up using a hybrid even though it was formerly intended to appeal to the average amateur player. In effect, there is no trade-off when you go from an iron to a hybrid. There is no loss of power or accuracy with hybrid golf clubs. You can use them anywhere you use a iron, even for hard lies. It’s all gravy, as the saying goes.
The answer to the question of who makes the best hybrid golf club will depend on who’s being questioned. The leading pro golfers like the Callaway Fusion Technology line of clubs. The hybrid model in this line, called the FT-Hybrid, uses two technologies, VFT and H2S2. VFT is a method of construction the club face so that it will be more tolerant of off-center hits without sacrificing distance and accuracy. Clean trick. H2S2 is a just their name for how they have been able to go a lot of the weight out of the hosel, allowing the center of gravity to be lower and deeper than would be possible otherwise. So it is not startling that the Callawy FT-Hybrid was tapped as the best hybrid golf club by Golfsmith.com.
Taylor Made Golf has the Rescue Dual TP Hybrid, which is a very respectable selection for a pro, but more competitively priced than the Callaway line. This is another pro-level instrument that is geared toward someone with a swing speed in excess of 100mph. Taylor Made Golf is the company that first manufactured hybrid golf clubs, so they know what they are doing.
Each of these brands has a number of hybrids for every player ranging from beginner to pro. Before you choose which is best, you need to check out their catalogs for yourself.
