In our forums, our members have been discussing super game improvement/hybrid options for seniors. WRXer ‘Noodler’ is on the hunt for irons or hybrids for his father to help him gain distance, and our members have been putting forward their suggestions in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

bladehunter: “G400 410 or 425 have to be the top 3 hybrid choices in total. I can’t imagine an easier to hit club. I wouldn’t waste his swings on the sim max hybrid. I liked mine as a 2 iron stinger machine. But it’s infinitely more demanding than g410 hybrid. My 2 cents.”
jjfcpa: “I’m 73 and can’t really say I was losing distance because I didn’t start golfing until I turned 67. However, I do try to use clubs that allow me to perform up to my abilities. I’ve played a number of clubs over the years, and my most recent set was the Callaway Apex CF19’s – also played the CF16’s. However, I just felt that I was having too many mishits that were hurting my game, so on a whim, I purchased a set of Titleist T300’s. Like most golfers, I sort of felt that Titleist was an elitist brand, but I have been extremely pleased with the T300’s. Did some comparison shots with the CF19’s and they were easily a 1/2 club longer and many fewer mishits. I also bag the Mavrik 3 and 4 hybrids which are excellent and a Mavrik 5w. Also playing a Mavrik driver. I have no issues with these but considering moving to the Mavrik Max to get a little more loft and forgiveness. I tend to focus on the short game, so I practice a lot with my wedges and putter, not so much with the rest.”
platgolf: “If he needs distance the G710 has no equal. I play the G700, and the short iron soles are rather large for greenside work, but these irons really go. I am mixing my G700 and Cobra F9 irons, Cobra for short game, and G700 for 7 iron up. I will be looking at the G710 in the future. Hopefully, a G725 will come out soon, no black finish or Accra?”
Tanner25: “+1 on the hybrid irons from Cleveland. Also, Tour Edge has new offerings (521 e & c) which seem interesting and are a good value.”

Game improvement iron as a driving iron? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user is sharing details of a recent round in which his playing partner was gaming an…unconventional driving iron.

@AbSWFPGA explained:

“Played with a kid the other day who was a good player and he used a TaylorMade qi max hl 4 iron as a driving iron. He hit it off a lot of tees and it was pretty money. I looked up the 4 iron in that set and it’s 18.5 degrees so that would make for a good driving iron in terms of loft. Has anyone done this and could share some feedback? Thanks”

Our members have been sharing their own perspectives and experiences with unique driving irons in the forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

Dave33: “I just got a new set of irons, Ping I540’s, and the 4 iron is 19 degrees. That’s basically as strong as the 2 iron in my 30 yr old custom set its replacing and I used to hit that 2 iron off the tee all the time. The I540 4 iron off the tee is an awesome club. ”
Santiago Golf: “I have tried this a few times and they always went too high … Never really the stinger height I was looking for. I got a IDEA Pro style hybrid and it was the perfect mid launching club I was looking for.”
DircaDelta: “I basically do this with a JPX 925 Hot Metal Pro 4iron (19 degrees). I tried a few driving irons but honestly this probably fits me best due to the shorter length, but it’s still hot and still has a wide sole which is nice. Great off the tee, turf, and punchy shots to lay-up on par 5s or get out of trouble. It has the same shaft as my irons (Modus 120X) so I could probably get more out of it from a different shaft, but it fits what I need in terms of gapping from my 5 iron (JPX Forged) and gapping and launch from my short 5 wood. I think it’s a good (and often cheaper) route so long as you can find one that suits your eye and gapping needs. I don’t like offset so the HMP’s help in the optics department over a “more typical” game improvement iron.”
