| Guys,
With all the hybrids in the market, do you guys still use the 4 iron?
Thanks...... |

| I use 4 iron as I can play it from the rough and thick stuff, hybrids tough to use in those places |

| No. Have not had one in 10 years dont miss it either. I may connect 1 out of 20 shots i try, if i am lucky. Hybrids are a different story though. Maybe i hit 1 good one 3 of 4 times. Where ever i am. Rough to tee. Love em hybrids. In fact since i had them hybrids, i follow Begbie example, no 5 iron too. |

Im surprised u know that i hv stopped carrying my 5i. My golf game has been simplified now esp that I have lessen my freq on the range. Anything >155 m its just hybrids now and I choke the grip accordingly.
I practice my 50m chips/putts in more often than not as I dun have too much expectation on getting myself on the green from that distance. Takes a lot of anxiety out of my game and helped quite a bit to prevent the big numbers..
If u ask me, its much easier to get comfortable with chipping and putting rather than tame the dreaded 4i.. Y make the game harder than it already is ?

| Yes I do.
Why? Bcos you can never replicate the feeling of hitting a crisp 4 iron off a par 3 hole, nestling it within 5 feet, and rolling it in for birdie.

| Definitely stopped using 4i.
I now use hybrids in place of my 3i to 5i. So, my irons are only from 6i onwards.
Oh well. |
