Thanks for the motivation that I've gotten this year. I have been retired from the US Army for 15 years now and my body was so broken I never thought I'd find passion to do anything. After watching you I borrowed some clubs from my nephew and started heading to the range. I suck of course but, then again, I've not played golf since 1990 and only played 3 or 4 rounds total in my life. So I'm out there with 23+ year old Ping Zing 2 white dot irons but I'm out there. At 57, I see that as a pretty big step. I may never get very good(I live out in the country no place within 50 miles for lessons)but I want to thank you for showing me that golf isn't perfect but just a way to strive for perfection knowing that no one is perfect. Enjoy all the videos. Take care and God Bless!

@Carl Dykes I retired last winter, and after watching Rick’s videos, decided to get out on the course. I bought some garage sale clubs for $25, and went to the range a bunch. Went out once a week with another guy who retired around the same time I did. I’ve been having a blast, even though I suck at it (but getting better). Can’t wait til the spring to get out there again!

I’ve enjoyed your content since I first discovered your videos a couple of years ago. You keep things pertinent but do it in such a way as to be entertaining. I like the way that you test clubs. Unbiased and very truthful. This particular club may work better for a high handicapper since you hit your driver so well. If someone is struggling with their driver, it may be something as simple as not being able to control the length of the club. This one, being shorter, should give be easier to hit leading to more distance. Keep up the great videos, Rick!!

Would have been interesting to grab a high handicapper off the range and see the comparison. Awesome content Rick looking forward to what the channel brings in 2021!

Thanks for the review Rick. I was (one of many?) who asked for the review a couple of weeks ago. It is still an interesting option. I dont want to give up on mastering my driver, but I still slice my driver to often. This super hybrid is aimed for people who do not master the driver. They maigh do 180 with a driver, and maybe 175 with this hybrid, but more consistently. I know it is not the concept of your channel, but having such a guy included in your test would be interesting for me. Love the channel.

Great video, Rick. I have a 4 hybrid (22*). Not the most confident with it off the deck, but I do find I'm more consistent/confident with it off the tee than a 4 or 5 iron. But where I really like it is "putting" from the fairway/fringe around the green. Very versatile club.

I actually have a 15 degree hybrid and I love it. Like you said, I use it as a 3 wood but have a much more confident and more accurate swing with it. And on days I'm really struggling with my driver, it's a great club to hit off the tee. Love the vid and thanks for the review.

Yes. I've actually read reviews from people who've replaced their 3 woods with 2 hybrids to that effect. The general consensus is just that: a 2 hybrid goes about as far as a 3 wood but is easier to hit off the ground. I'd definitely be for that.

Great review glad I found your channel been watching a lot of them. I just ordered this club that’s for helping me make my decision

Hey Rick, when I was playing over the summer I only hit my 2 hybrid a few times and it was usually out of the rough, but when I hit it, it seemed to go the same distance or a little longer than my drive.

Thanks Rick. Two questions 1) Does this tend to go left (ie less weight in the toe like most hybrids do). 2) Do you think this is more forgiving than your Cobra 3 wood on and off the tee peg (looks like distance is ~same (esp similar given shaft length and loft)

I would’ve liked to see it compared to a 3-wood since it has the same loft as one. Carrying 20 yards shorter than driver sounds like an improvement over “Old Bluey” for you.

@georgeoverby3417

3 жыл бұрын

ME too, 20 yards less than my driver would be a great improvement over my 3 wood.

Great video. I bought a Callaway Superhybrid 17 degree and put a three wood shaft in it. It is a total monster off the deck and the tee. I used to carry 2 hybrid and three wood and dropped them both for this one club and added a wedge for scoring better.

Rick love your content, great fun and info. Cheers

It’s great how Rick knows the majority of us will spend £300 on a new hybrid, rather than spend £300 on a few lessons. Great video Rick and Guy 👍🏼

I can't hit hybrid, but for this that can, this is a great 3 wood replacement and is more versatile.

So, after hitting this club for three weeks, I'm sending it back. It has exactly the same loft as my Callaway Rogue three wood, and I hit that club better and more consistently. The Teton is not a bad club, but it's not a three-wood replacement for me, and it's certainly not a driver. I took Rick's advice and got a lesson on my driver. I'm working on turning my life-time driver push/slice into a draw.

@@sean8081a In my experience with the club, I think I hit my fairway wood a shade farther. Occasionaly I laced one with the Teton that went as far as my farthest fairway shot. I'm certainly more comfortable with my fairway wood though. I bought the Teton because my driver and I have a fraught relationship, and I love my hybrids, which I hit well. The Teton looked like a hybrid (also I was intrigued by the shorter shaft length). Unfortunately for me, the Teton didn't solve my problems.

i see “driver” in the title. interested, but also like every other driver review

I feel like stingers would be glorious with this club.

Seems like this would be suited more for someone who struggles to hit a 3 woods. I carry a 2 hybrid due to that so this interests me for sure.

I just got a gift card to the local golf shop for Christmas, and I think I'm going to spend in on a lesson. At this point, there's no equipment change that can make a significant improvement in my game (short of a custom fitting maybe). My bag has come a long way this year, and so has my game thanks in large part to you Rick. Cheers mate! May 2021 be the year that everyone breaks whatever score they've been shooting for!

Big fan Rick. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see what you have for 2021

I have 5 lessons lined up for the new year but can’t go due to Spanish internal border laws. However, your videos have helped me this year go from 20 to 14.6. Happy new year Rick

Great video as always. Hybrid drive are great to have in my opinion. My driver is a hybrid driver that is a 230cc head at 23 degrees like that club. The other difference is that I can increase the shaft length by 1.5 inches longer than that club, 2 degrees stronger. But still can hit the ball constantly off the tee or the ground. My Thomas golf custom built 13 degree 230cc driver is awesome and I recommend that you give it a try when it comes to comparing to that club

Keep up the great work Rick, another banger for us, thanks!

Content two days in a row 👍🏌️ love it. Would love to try that rascal drive-brid see how it performs against my f8+ 3wood . Thanks as always for the content all the best for 2021

Hmmm makes you think about what you want to achieve with a club. Great to see the lesser known manufacturers getting a look in. All the best for the New Year to you and your subscribers

Could be a good club to have in the bag if you find yourself "out to sea" with the driver for a while. Also potential replacement for 3 wood if you don't hit that well. Kind of similar to the "mini driver" that TM made a few years ago.

Always a pleasure to watch your videos. I miss the videos with Finch, Matt and Carter. 😥

Lovely year of golf coaching Rick!

thanks for your great content. it is my foreign language, but i love to watch your videos! keep up the good work! happy new 2021! greetings from stuttgart, germany :)

I agree with you. It is more comparable to a 3 wood, 3 iron or a driving iron. Thank you for all of the videos this year.

great content! thanks Rick

I have a hybrid 5 that I usually only break out on Par 5’s and longer par 3’s. Usually hit it about 200-220. Having another 30 yards would be a plus

Wishing Rick and everyone here all the best for 2021 👍.

I appreciate you trying this gimmicky stuff out there you either give us some good ideas or save us some money, both are great !

love the content and love seeing you testing these types of clubs. The only issue I would have is that these clubs probably aren't designed for a professional golfer. Although it is great seeing you hit these, I think a better test would be to take a mid to high handicapper..someone who only hits driver 220-250 and not very consistently and give them this club and see if it truly does help and does live up to the claims in the infomercials.

Hope 2021 is even better than 2020 Rick! Maybe you can come over to the US and play GM and his crew in some matches! Happy Holidays!

Seems like a great 3 wood alternative Commented before the end of the video. Now I want to see this vs your 3 wood off the short stuff and out of the rough.

Love the content as always

I’d love to see an on course comparison between that and the 3 wood.

Great video Rick i can't wait to See you do a video with gm golf should be awesome

I love hitting my hybrids, gonna give this club a try!

2021 will be a great year for golfers from all your tips

I like the message at the end. A lesson is way more important than a new golf club

It would be interesting to do a comparison with the Teton and a 3 wood on course.

I had a titleist hybrid and I could not hit it at all. Went to play it again sports just to see what they had. Found a Taylormade Rocketballz 4 hybrid 22 degree stiff, and it truly changed my game. Got it after trade In (which they give you hardly anything) for $22! I’ve had it in my bag for about 3 years now. I’m not a long hitter my avg is maybe 245 yards off the tee a good one with roll I can get 260 yards. I guess that’s ok distance but my buddies I play with are always 15-20 yards in front of me lol I hit my five iron approx. 170-175 yards. Anything over my five iron I use my 4 hybrid and I seem to always hit it well. Hardly spray it left or right, goes high, and is solid. It’s my go to for 185-200 yard shots. It does take a minute to get use to compared to irons in my opinion but it’s great. Only down side I’ve seen is on windy days. It flies high and wind can really chew it up. The other day I playing winds were gusting 15-20 mph very blustery day. I had about 192 yards in on a hole. Wind in the face, I struck it well but it ended up 15-20 yards short of the green. On that shot I prob would have been better to club up or try to hit my 5 irons lower and case onto the green

Hey Rick love ur channel here in the US . I bought the hybrid driver n love it. It has help with my slice alot. Iam 55 n shoot in the mid 90
