Mark. I hope you read this. I just want to thank you. I’ve been going through so much the past year. I find myself crying often. But your videos make me forget about things and I’m so happy watching your videos. Thank you for all your efforts for making your videos
I hit my irons pretty straight. Buy I recently saw an article that said "If you don't hit your 7 iron 150 yds that the longest iron in your bag should be a 6 iron! I hit my 7 iron 135 yds! So, I bought a used 29 degree hybrid and I was amazed at the shots! Now I carry a 4,5,6 hybrid! Cheers
Just had almost (c19) A full season with this club in my bag and I can honestly say it’s been a game changer for me. I play a course with a lot of 200 plus par 3s and the EF 4 hybrid has been fantastic. The great thing about this club is that I can hit it 210 and 190. Mark talks about floating them in and this makes it easy. Can also smash it with a lot of confidence too. Semi to semi thick rough has been awesome. I’ve hit greens on long par 4s this year that previously have been out of reach from the rough. Best club I’ve maybe ever bought. Expensive at £249 but worth it IMO.
I love how some hybrids can be so Poot for some and a total game changer for others. Hybrids are such a personal club in the bag. Great review on the flash!
Had the 4 HB for 3 months now and without a doubt the best hybrid I’ve ever had in the bag. When I catch it out the middle it goes for miles with a great flight. Even off centre hits don’t kill you. Best of all, out the semi rough. This club is fantastic.
I currently game the Ping G400 3 Hybrid, I love it! I like not having all of the adjustments with loft and lie. I went down the rabbit hole with the adjustments on my driver and I’m still trying to find my way out, it’s dark in here!
Changed at end of last year Cobra max 3,4,5,6 & 7 hybrid have not looked back since now a solid 7 handicapper. Recently bought taylormade r11 fct hybrids put down to 15 degree & 17degree use these as my 1 & 2 iron in effect hit fairway every time just need a hybrid putter to stop 3 putting 😂
It's a fantastic club. I game the older Epic Hybrid 18 degree and tried this club the day it came out. It is definitely more forgiving than the old club - and I found loft for loft it was 5 yards longer than the old club. I was also hitting it very straight and found it less naturally right than the older model. I would highly recommend this club to anyone - and I mean anyone. My issue with the club is the stock shaft for me was a bit of a wet noodle versus the older stock shaft which was more stout. With the gen 3 hozzle being so new there were no other shafts available to hit it with when I demo'd it so I took a pass and bought an 18 degree Rogue Sub Zero 5 wood with an Evenflow X shaft which hits my desired carry number and gives me a better land angle into the green.
I carry two hybrids , a 23* Titleist 818H1 and a Callaway Rogue 18*. Used to carry three Rogues but the ability to adjust the H1 has helped better fill the gap and drop one to add another wedge.
Wise comments - I love the Adams pro style hybrid - but you are totally correct in my opinion - for high handicap golfers the " fairway wood style hybrid with all the accompanying driver tech is the wayr to go !
Nice, honest video. Good to see this sort of review. Numbers mean a lot to a lot of people. But feel and sound make a huge difference. It’s all personal choice at the end of the day.
Definitely use hybrids with much delight. They're versatile, easy to handle, quick rewarding. My 3-iron no longer in my bag, now a hybrid do the job nicely.
Used the Ping G10 hybrid as soon as they appeared until this year and replaced them with two 818 H1’s! Taken a while but starting to trust them like my old ones!👍🏼👍🏼
I’m gaming the 4, 5, 6 Epic Flash hybrids. Getting older so longest Iron is 7. I’ve filled the distance gaps I need using the adjustable neck. I’m absolutely loving these clubs and I’m stopping them on the greens easily.!! Price? I’ll eat next month. 😉
Big Bertha OS 4 hybrid (24°, 195ish carry) 5 hybrid (27°, 185ish carry) Stubbornly held on to a 4 and 5 iron for about ten years too long! The 4 looks brand new and the 5 was only used as a low punch under the trees back into the fairway club! Pride is a heck of a thing. I am shooting scores now in my late 40's like I did in my early 20's.
Love my 21 degree Callaway X2 Hybrid. It replaced my 3 iron and I can shape it both ways. Carry it 175-185m depending on how I try to shape it. Only thing missing is the ability to adjust the head but don't really feel I need it. Will never go back to 2 or 3 irons!
Got my Epic Flash Hybrid a few days ago! I love the sound and the feel. I kept it at 18* to fill a gap in the top end of my bag. Carries around 230 for me. Swapped out the grip for an MCC +4 to match my set. But the stock grip was nice. Very easy to feel what I’m doing after getting used to the sound. Which I happen to really enjoy. Tensei Silver shaft feels like it loads nicely with a smoother tempo swing like mine. Either way I’m very happy with my purchase!
I felt my heart sink inside when Coach Lockey (former long iron player) started using hybrids. Now he is doing hybrid reviews. Well, we still have Rory! LOL
Completely agree , Love the looks and slightly bigger profile of this club. Currently have a Adams pro hybrid . Very good if you find find the middle of the face every time ,not very forgiving. Will definitely test. Could we have some head to head hybrid testing please. Great review, thanks for your efforts.
I have a 20 degree hybrid and an mmc fli hi.Barely hit my driver these days and really concentrated on 180-220 at the top of the bag after watching your vids and hearing you say its one of our weakest parts of our games
I have had one for 14 years, easy and versatile It's my club for the rough no easier club to punch out of trees,, I have recently went to the cobra F7 16.5 loft I can hit every shot with it. Love it,, plus I can hit it a long way if need be
I love the high flight you can get from hybrids and I love the 3 hybrid for getting low under trees. I'm using hybrids almost as much as irons atm. I know they aren't as precise as irons but when I'm past 170 yards I'm more worried about clearing the green side bunkers and just making it anywhere on the green than attacking the flag.
I've 3-6 hybrids in my bag but will be changing this winter. Will try the Epic Flash and the Big Bertha hybrids and see which I prefer. I know the Big Bertha go all the way up to 8 hybrid this time so it may come down to which blends best with my irons
Big fan of hybrids and gaming Callaway X-RAY Steelhead 4 & 5 but would be interested in having the ability to change lofts - feels like a fitting coming up!
Oh yeah rockin the 18 degree lofted up to 19 gapped perfect between my 5 iron and my 5 wood love the stock Tensei shaft Really nice club. Coach needs to do a WITB looks like he is a tad blended these days. Great stuff as usual gents cheers from NorCal
I get there same performance as from a TaylorMade M6 hybrid with this club, both are equally forgiving - but there extra $50 of the Callaway buys one the adjustable neck, which I needed to get there right distance gap. So I bought one last weekend.
Just bought the 3 and 4 hybrid after years of driving irons, long irons and apex type hybrids and they a revelation to my long game, high straight bombs that will stop at the other end. Got fitted for the ad di85 shafts which being orange must knock a shot off the h/c right?
Dan had the painters in? 👍 Great review and how can anyone not want a 200+ Yard my-gran-could-hit-that club? Definitely worth a test. I've got Apex irons so this and the Apex hybrid intrigues me 👍👍👍
Correct me if I'm wrong, but i believe that the hosel is over sized to allow adjustments to the head while keeping the Align grip aligned. I love my Pings with Align grips, but once set and gripped, the clubs are done. Doesn't bother me, but it might others.
I removed my hybrid for a 3 iron. Couldn't control the hook. Probably need to look at some other hybrids at some point but the couple of hybrids I've had I had some control issues with them (especially massive hooks). My 3 iron is 130g xstiff and I've never hooked it :-)
Some of the newer hybrids come with a flat setting which is a lifesaver for hooks. I generally buy one loft up from what I want and set it flat and open (which lowers loft via adjustment)
@@jacobmccain8082 Excellent. I'll have to take another look at the newer hybrids as both the replies I've received have talked about the newer ones ( and the one in the video ) are a lot more adjustable. Thanks...
@@davejablonski8809 depending on whether you like the iron like or fairway like look, two I'd definitely check out are the Callaway Apex and the Titleist 818H1 or TS2. The Apex is too low spin for my swing but it's as anti left a hybrid as I've ever swung.
First, loving coach's cap. I love the sound of that hybrid. The sound reminds me of my V series big bertha 3 and 5 wood. The adjustable necks are great for the fitter but I would not go looking for it.
My 21 degree hybrid is my favorite club in the bag. When I was struggling with driver a while back, I used my hybrid off the tee and played very well that way. I don't even carry a 3W anymore. I've got an adjustable hybrid set at 16.5 degrees that I hit consistently more solid than I ever hit my 3W.
2, 3, 4 Hybrids in the bag. Got rid of the 3w because the quality of strike off the deck was worse and the overall is better with the 2y at 16 degrees.
I’m usually #TeamTitleist but this video has me wanting this. Sounds and bigger head are lovely. PS Thanks for getting me to care more about 200 yards in/out. Too overlooked still to this day. 👍
Yah its actually really really nice. It's long, and i use it off the tee actually more then anything just because i have it cranked down in loft at around 19 or 20
Just A Coach and Mark vlog been a long time since we had one of these beauties. Has this just been released? Will callaway be replacing this in the new year?
I like hybrids, I've game them for years (Cobra DWS Hybrids). Callaway has a good looking club with this one. #gamethosehybrids. I gained to strokes on my playing partners when I popped the trunk and they saw those hybrids in the bag! LOL!
This makes my Taylormade SLDR 3 hybrid look miniscule. Still a great club, but I have trouble hitting it consistently. The Epic Flash just may be what I'm looking for forgiveness and better ball contact.
Didn’t like the look when I was given to test as normally like the iron look, but sweet to hit and dispersion tight so it’s replacing both my three iron and 5 wood.

Love the fact that it looks like a mini wood, that would definitely make me consider testing it
Had this club In my bag for the last few weeks and absolutely love it!!!

Love my Srixon H65 3 and 4 hybrid. 3 goes around 210yds off the deck and I can hit from almost anywhere including tee and bunker. ❤
Love hybrids, struggle with 3/4/5 irons. Gaming cobra f8. 19/22 and 25 degree hybrids sound hit beautiful.
Sometimes when I'm stressed out at work, I sit back, close my eyes and think about hybrids.
In the bag since a couple of weeks - Never loved a club that much in such a short time. Epic Me Up!
Pascal Fritsche same! Fell in love with that hybrid after my first round with it
Got my Epic Flash Hybrid a few days ago! I love the sound and the feel. I kept it at 18* to fill a gap in the top end of my bag. Carries around 230 for me.

Coach is loving a hybrid. Would never thought that was going to happen 18 mths ago. You've converted him Mark.
I felt my heart sink inside when Coach Lockey (former long iron player) started using hybrids. Now he is doing hybrid reviews. Well, we still have Rory! LOL
I have the Adams aos12 4 & 5 hybrids. Love them both.
Completely agree , Love the looks and slightly bigger profile of this club. Currently have a Adams pro hybrid . Very good if you find find the middle of the face every time ,not very forgiving. Will definitely test. Could we have some head to head hybrid testing please. Great review, thanks for your efforts.

I have had one for 14 years, easy and versatile It's my club for the rough no easier club to punch out of trees,, I have recently went to the cobra F7 16.5 loft I can hit every shot with it. Love it,, plus I can hit it a long way if need be
I currently game a Callaway Apex 3 hybrid. Found it to be the best combo of driving iron and hybrid performance
Just bought one of these and very excited about giving it a hit.
Nice to see the place has had a little make over guys, has Dan thrown his old man cap out with that brown panel wood too?
I love the high flight you can get from hybrids and I love the 3 hybrid for getting low under trees. I'm using hybrids almost as much as irons atm.

Still using my 7 year old Adams V3 combo set !! 3h, 4h, 5h,& 6h , with the forged irons (7-GW ), have not found a hybrid that will replace them !
Oh yeah rockin the 18 degree lofted up to 19 gapped perfect between my 5 iron and my 5 wood love the stock Tensei shaft
Really nice club. Coach needs to do a WITB looks like he is a tad blended these days.
Great stuff as usual gents cheers from NorCal
Super aeasy to hit launches great lands soft if need be as well.. ARMY FOR LIFE!!
I get there same performance as from a TaylorMade M6 hybrid with this club, both are equally forgiving - but there extra $50 of the Callaway buys one the adjustable neck, which I needed to get there right distance gap. So I bought one last weekend.
studio with a new paint job. looking very crisp
Got one of these in a #3, has a cracking sound off the face and look forward to hitting it, ball flight is medium but still gets through the wind.
I have the epic flash ‘ star ‘ ( non adjustable ) .. 4 hybrid 20’ .. it’s a wonderful club ,anti left anti over draw ... 😉🏌️⛳️🍻
Really like my hybrid; not totally mastered yet, but I wouldn’t be without it . Great review as usual guys 👍
Just bought the 3 and 4 hybrid after years of driving irons, long irons and apex type hybrids and they a revelation to my long game, high straight bombs that will stop at the other end. Got fitted for the ad di85 shafts which being orange must knock a shot off the h/c right?
Love the sound of it, it gives confidence for sure
I thought it looked like a mini 3 wood before you hit it so happy to hear it sounds like one too 😃 Looks like something I could game for sure 👍🏻
Great vid, would be good to see you guys test workability, how easy is it to funk etc.
We know you love the funk mark!
Callaway RAZR (24 degree) been doing the business for years now sitting between 5 iron and 5 wood.
Dan had the painters in? 👍 Great review and how can anyone not want a 200+ Yard my-gran-could-hit-that club? Definitely worth a test. I've got Apex irons so this and the Apex hybrid intrigues me 👍👍👍
Mark will you review the mizuno Clk hybrid , it’s a good one , would like to hear the team parfields taughts on it
Love my 816 and 818 hybrids - have two. I see you have changed the room. get mintzy (Lester) on the job.

Ohhh having a clear out in the studio? Lick of paint 🎨 ... oh and enjoyed the review too 👍🏻
20 degree apex is a perfect long par 3...like 230 yard club
First, loving coach's cap. I love the sound of that hybrid. The sound reminds me of my V series big bertha 3 and 5 wood. The adjustable necks are great for the fitter but I would not go looking for it.
Love your club reviews. Well done gentlemen.
I use a wood looking hybrid as a 3 iron replacement and an iron looking one as a 4 iron replacement to help transition
Hybrids are my favourite clubs, miles easier to hit than long irons for me
I agree with this. My favorite club from 155 to 120 yards.
My 21 degree hybrid is my favorite club in the bag. When I was struggling with driver a while back, I used my hybrid off the tee and played very well that way. I don't even carry a 3W anymore.

Love hybrids and woods best clubs in my bag
I’m usually #TeamTitleist but this video has me wanting this. Sounds and bigger head are lovely. PS Thanks for getting me to care more about 200 yards in/out. Too overlooked still to this day. 👍
Would love a comparison to the TS2!
Is that a changeable weight in the base? Hybrids give me, 18 handicapper, a sense of confidence behind the ball.
Yah its actually really really nice. It's long, and i use it off the tee actually more then anything just because i have it cranked down in loft at around 19 or 20
Amazing, how much marketing blurb can you fit in one club?
Yes tried it and now have got 1
Cmon mark and coach !! it’s time to test Rory on hybrids!!
Will make a great video 🤔
Off subject, but what strokes gained app did you guys use? You referenced it in a few videos.
Just A Coach and Mark vlog been a long time since we had one of these beauties. Has this just been released? Will callaway be replacing this in the new year?
Got an older model titlest hybrid that I used to love but now I got my longer irons better I struggle with it! Time for a refit ?? 🤔
I like hybrids, I've game them for years (Cobra DWS Hybrids). Callaway has a good looking club with this one. #gamethosehybrids. I gained to strokes on my playing partners when I popped the trunk and they saw those hybrids in the bag! LOL!
I use 2 hybrids a jpx 900 2 hybrid and a clk 4 hybrid
Coach....what's your thoughts on callaway x series ? Not heard or seen many reviews ta
I have the apex 19 and I love them, I personally don’t like my hybrids to look like woods
What do you mean driver reviews???? I love hybrid reviews. I want more of them. The heck with the drivers. Spider Dubiel
22 degree epic flash, taylormade M6 or gapr-hi? Fairway, light and heavy rough, what's your choice?
Love my hybrids, have a 17 degree Titleist (ooops) and a 22 degree Cobra F8 both help my game so much #Notgoodenoughforlowirons
Love to have a tech golf scrabble game: Love the vid!
Only if you allow 3 letter acronyms.
Love hybrids got x2 hot and Titleist and a mizuno clk but this Callaway looks epic 🤣
1:50 “that’s what she said” 😉
Looks like Torquay has had a makeover? On the hybrid, is this club getting into heaven wood territory?
The flat setting on the G410 was impossible to pass up so I went Ping Hybrids and finally said goodbye to the left side of the course
Really feeling the new beats, but I’m left wondering what is Ryan little up to these days 🤔
Got it, love it, want more!
What’s the difference in RRP? It’s the same club based on Lockeys numbers! Why choose one over the other?
Is coach going with this one or the apex?
I love my hybrid it's the old RBZ but maybe a change is on the cards
I have hit it. It’s massive long for me. Like the feel though. Not a fan of the sound to be honest. But I’m not a hybrid guy
A little shop clean up since we've seen inside the studio??
Coach when callaway hook you up with the new epic flash hybrid I will have your old one brah.
Love hybrids
This makes my Taylormade SLDR 3 hybrid look miniscule. Still a great club, but I have trouble hitting it consistently. The Epic Flash just may be what I'm looking for forgiveness and better ball contact.
Where has the bench gone? Is the studio having a refurbishment?
Try the Calloway super hybrid
Didn’t like the look when I was given to test as normally like the iron look, but sweet to hit and dispersion tight so it’s replacing both my three iron and 5 wood.
Saving my pennies for this bad boy £££. Good solid review 👍🏼
