Frequently asked questions

Are rescue and hybrid golf clubs the same?

Rescue golf clubs combine the benefits of a golf wood and golf iron, therefore they’re also known as hybrid golf clubs or sometimes a utility club. The clubhead on a hybrid looks like a smaller version of a wood, but they are typically shorter than a fairway wood and have a higher loft. Hybrids are usually used to replace long irons and sometimes even mid irons. They can be played from the tee, fairway or the rough.

When should I use a hybrid golf club?

Many golfers use hybrids on long fairway shots as they allow for better accuracy than fairway woods. This is because they are slightly shorter in length, and therefore much easier to control, even with a heavy steel shaft. Additionally, hybrids can hit a ball from fairways and the rough just as well as an iron, and are easier to hit than woods. Like many of the drivers available, some hybrids have adopted strategic weighting to benefit players with a slice or hook. Hybrids are excellent replacements for the low and mid irons, and can often be used as chipping clubs around the green.

How many hybrid golf clubs should I carry?

Putting two to three hybrids in your bag can help golfers who struggle with their long irons. Hybrid golf clubs are engineered with a lower centre of gravity and larger sweet spot, making them easier to hit than your irons. They also make it easier to get out of the rough. These clubs are designed to be more forgiving, launch higher and land softer, making them the perfect choice for golfers with a higher handicap.
