Hybrid golf clubs are new innovations that have brought new technology to the hands of golfers of all ability. Beginning, intermediate and advanced players can benefit from the usage of hybrid technology. Hybrids combine the best features of irons and fairway woods into one golf club. Some hybrid golf clubs come at a very low price.
Hybrid Overview
Hybrid golf clubs combine the best features of fairway woods and long irons to produce a golf club that hits the ball farther than long irons, yet straighter than fairway woods with less loft. This is typically because of the low profile head and larger sweet spots. The cost of these clubs is driven up by expensive brand name heads, premium shafts and exotic metals used in the manufacturing process. Buyers looking for the best price should avoid these qualities.
National Brands
National brands like Titleist, Taylor Made, Cobra and Adams all manufacture hybrid clubs that appeal to better players and touring professionals. These companies pour millions of dollars into research and development, as well as millions into professional player endorsements. This drives the cost of these national brand clubs up from the start. Buyers searching for the cheapest price should avoid clubs made by the popular brands. Value added brands will be much more likely to offer inexpensive hybrids.
Option 1: Linksman
Linksman manufacturers a hybrid golf set of three clubs -- the 3-, 4- and 5-hybrids -- that retail for less than $100 for all three clubs, as of January, 2011. These clubs are very affordable and a better deal would be very hard to find on the open market. Some of the positive characteristics on these golf clubs include a reverse sole to easily slice through the grass, and get the ball in the air off hard pan lies.
Option 2: PING K15 Hybrid Set
PING golf is a national brand but addressed the issue of affordability with its K15 Hybrid set offering. These clubs appeal to beginning and intermediate golfers with perimeter weighting that pushes the center of gravity deep in the club face for longer and straighter golf shots.The major asset of this set of three hybrid clubs is the price -- PING offers this set for less than $150, as of January, 2011, making them worthy of inclusion in the cheapest hybrid list.
