Srixon ZXi Hybrid
For the long iron you never hit
A hybrid is not a compromise, it is the right tool. The long iron it replaces was designed for a swing speed most amateurs have never had, and the scorecard does not ask which club you used.
£219
16 to 25 degrees
Worth fitting before you buy it. The session fee comes off the price, and we will say so if it makes no difference.

Who it suits
Anyone carrying a long iron they would rather not hit. Look in your own bag and you will know.

- 01Four lofts, 16 to 25 degrees. Pick it by the yardage gap, not by the number stamped on it.
- 02It sits between your fairway wood and your irons. Bring both when you come in.
- 03If you still carry a 4 iron out of habit, hit them side by side once and settle it.
- 04Hybrids are set up at iron length, so the lie angle matters as much as it does in a set.
From behind the counter
Nobody has ever regretted putting a hybrid in the bag. Plenty of people regret the three years they waited.

Hit these before you choose. Most players guess wrong between them.

Sits square at address, which sounds like nothing and is most of the problem.
