If you are fighting those long irons, I beg you to "KNOCK IT OFF!" It's time you got on the hybrid bandwagon. Hybrids may take a little getting used to because they look like a fairway wood but feel like an iron.

An Important Note
I know this category is for women. But let’s make one thing clear. No matter which gender uses a hybrid, many of us golfers want to kiss the person who invented the hybrid club.
You see, we all sat there looking at our second shot. Way too long. We hit a fairway wood and we chance skulling the thing or wormburning it. We hit an iron, and we plunk it up and chance having to hit a third (or even fourth) shot.
As men, we often would try to muscle lower irons when they were our only option, often to disastrous results. Ladies would be forced to hit a fairway wood almost every time.
Then The Game Changed
1990-something and at TaylorMade, some genius created a wood that swung like an iron. Or an iron that pounded like a wood. Either way, that first “Rescue” hybrid became the very definition of sweetness. Women in particular could now accurately smash a second or third shot and really go for the green with a club that could “do both.”
Trot Out The Manufacturers
Callaway, Adams, Nickent, Orlimar, Bobby Jones, Nike, and of course TaylorMade jumped on the “hybrid bandwagon” and knew a good idea when they saw one. Some of them are sleek and clean like the Nickent Lady 3DX Ironwood Club, sleek and clean but with an incredible MOI and forgiveness like you wouldn’t believe. Some are more advanced than others like the Ladies Callaway FT-iZ Hybrid Club. The name itself is pretty advanced, but you can add a triangular head, aerodynamic head for less drag, and “variable face technology” to help with an even bigger sweet spot.
The Bottom Line On Loft
If you have never hit a hybrid club, picture this. Your best 3 wood that you’ve ever swung. Remember that it picked right up off the ground and really moved toward the hole? Remember that? Me neither. But picture the distance of that mythical 3 wood shot, but done with something easier to swing like your 5 iron. Picture good loft, but with some umph. With these clubs’ better center of gravity and nice loft, you can really have the best of both worlds.

Adams Golf has become more popular to many of us in the last few years. Being one of the first companies to design clubs that were easier to hit off the deck, many of us tried their products and had some measurable success with them.

Now I need to be clear. No, I mean really clear. Like crystal, ok? I realize you have seen me hitting from the ladies' tee before, but if I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times:
I'm hitting my second shot!
Leave me alone, and stop with the ...
OK, so here's the deal:
I'm boycotting products that make women golfers better. Not because I'm sexist. Not because they get to play from closer tee boxes. Not because there aren't products out there designed for men.
I'm boycotting them for one reason: my mother beats me when we play ...
