Here is a quick story about how I preferred the crossover iron over the hybrid: I am a 1 handicap golfer and I have always struggled off the tee, so I was looking for a product that was forgiving off the tee and hit it approximately 240-250 down the middle of the fairway. I have my ping i20 hybrid which I love and it is pretty good of the tee, the only problem was that I was stuck hitting it around 225-230 and it comes really high and with lots of spin. So in the windy days I really struggled. I needed a bit more distance and a lower trajectory for the long par 4s. So I decided to buy the g400 crossover 2 iron with an extra stiff shaft to see what happens. Personally I am a guy who loves to hit my irons/fairway woods/hybrids off the deck. At first, I was hitting the crossover iron off the deck, and I was struggling really hard just like rick is at this video. It felt really bad when you hit it with divot and it was not that forgiving at all. After long sessions of practice, one day, I decided to tee up the ball to almost 1-2 cm off the ground. You would not believe how everything changed. Suddenly I am hitting this iron 260, it is really forgiving and the ball comes out REALLY HOT. Its the best club I have in my bag by far. I saw that rick was hitting the iron off the deck, but in reality those irons are designed to hit it with a high tee. That is why it is called driving iron. Hitting the iron off the deck on the fairway could come really hard, but if you are looking to hit it off the tee as a driving iron I really recommend it. MAKE SURE TO HIT IT WITH A HIGH TEE.
