- When it comes to choosing between a driving iron and a hybrid, it ultimately depends on your individual play style and preferences. Let's take a closer look at both types of clubs to help you make an informed decision:
Driving Iron:
Designed to be similar to a long iron, with a smaller, more compact head.
Provides a lower trajectory and more control over the ball flight.
Preferred by skilled players who prioritize accuracy and shot making.
Ideal for punching shots under trees or hitting low shots into the wind.
Typically requires more skill to hit consistently.
Hybrid:
Combines the best features of a long iron and a fairway wood.
Features a larger, more forgiving head shape and a lower center of gravity.
Provides higher ball flight and more forgiveness on off-center hits.
Offers more versatility and easier launch, making it suitable for a wider range of golfers.
Well-suited for hitting shots from the rough, fairway, and tee.
Both the driving iron and hybrid have their own advantages, so it's important to consider factors such as your skill level, playing conditions, and personal preference.
If you are a highly skilled player who values precision and shot shaping, a driving iron may be the better choice. On the other hand, if you are looking for more forgiveness and versatility, a hybrid might be the way to go.
Ultimately, the best way to decide is to try out both types of clubs and see which one feels more comfortable and suits your style of play. Having a thorough club fitting session is the best way to get personalised recommendations.

Interesting and timely vid this. I am so much more comfortable with 4 iron than hybrid (4 lofted down) to the point if I'm 220 out I'll hit 4 iron 9 times out of 10 and hope for front edge. Off the tee it seems like my dispersion is way tighter with the iron and as such I'm thinking about making the switch. What I'm not sure about is a utility build vs a good old fashioned 3 iron.
It is going to be down to ball flight and whether the lower 3 iron flight versus a higher, softer landing hybrid flight is what you need
Great video! Would love to see a comparison between a utility iron, hybrid, and 7-wood.
Great suggestion! Will add it to the list of things to film 👍🏻
My 3 wood stays... for now, but I am taking my hybrid out and chipper and putting in a Cleveland HYWOOD 3+ and a driving iron (srixon or mizuno fly hi).
The clubs in your bag have to do a job for you so play what works best for you - sounds like you are doing that already though!
@Precision_Golf I get on well with my 3W. We aren't best friends but it has gotten me in trouble a lot less than saving the day.
First club out is either my chipper or hybrid. Eventually both 😂😂😂
Brilliant as always ⛳️
Thank you! Cheers Marc
I get steep with my irons but hit them well , 7 iron 150-155 carry 166 total , 79-83mph
prob 100-110 ball speed on track man , I really really struggle with woods as I’m told my swing suits irons more do you think a driving iron would be a good option for me ?
If depends on how low your launch angle is as if you hit a low ball then it will not give you any carry distance. There are hybrids that should help this (if flight is an issue) and that you can hit like an iron but if you get good flight and height then I would certainly look at a Driving iron as it will feel a more natural swing.
@@Precision_Golf thanks for reply ,I launch a 7 around 20-22* & height 75-80ft
Why do you keep the club head away from the ball at address? What’s the idea behind that? Looks like it’s a few inches away from centre of clubhead
It is! :) it’s a 30 year old habit
I do that with my driver address the ball with the toe of club head.@Precision_Golf
Great video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it Nico
