Comes a time you say bye bye irons

Do you suck at hitting irons like I do? lol I just replaced all of my irons with hybrids (Synchron 2 Fairway Series hybrids), and wow, the game is so much easier. Picked them up for 50 bucks total on Facebook Marketplace. I did keep my wedges as blades, though. I’m able to hit the ball 10x more consistently now with hybrids. Also gonna have the grips replaced to jumbo size and have all shafts replaced to be the same length. I’m just trying to make the game easier and play more consistently.

You know what… have fun. Golf is hard as fuck. If this makes it easier and more fun, go for it.

They make 'em in 15?

Yes, Valuegolf.com sells them. The Acer XDS line also goes up to 15.

Whatever works and allows you to enjoy the game!

This is what a lot of people should focus on.

I really think this is the future for 50% of golfers because there’s nowhere to practice on real grass turf! Fake turf hurts because you’re less than an inch from slamming into concrete. No pro practices thousands of shots off artificial turf. The design of woods and hybrids is more forgiving on the joints and would prolong your golf career.

I cannot unsee this.

Got a hybrid 5, 3 wood in the bag, never use them on principle. Longest iron is a 5. I get it if you’re in your 70’s or older, but in the long run, persevering with the iron improves your game. Maybe if you’re only playing once a month.

The single length will be a challenge. They aren’t designed to be the same and will result in wildly different swing weights.

Pinhawk and Integra are the only ones with a full set of hybrid heads for single length use.

I know we’re on topic for hybrids, but mentioning one length, I switched to one length irons about 6 months ago and my game has been so consistent in distance control. It’s insane…

I’ve done the same; went with all fairway woods in my bag. I don’t care; I’ve been trying to hit irons consistently forever. Can’t do it.

It’s way more fun.

Until you ultra-flush a 27° 9 wood 25 yards past the hole :joy:. I’m still working on my distances, but they’re all going straight and long.

@Jai
Yup, distance improves drastically. Straight and long, baby!!

Is that you, Grandpa?
