Hybrid golf clubs  combine elements of both irons & woods in their design.  This characteristic creates advantages in getting the ball airborne, dampening the effects of miss hits, and many other pluses.

Most hybrid golf clubs are designed to replace the long irons (2, 3, 4, and sometimes 5 irons) in a golfer’s bag.  When you hear it mentioned that hybrid golf clubs are easier to hit, this is usually meant in comparison to the long irons that these hybrids replace.

So why are hybrid golf clubs advantageous over regular irons? 
A normal iron doesn’t have much of a back on it.  You can make an iron that has perimeter weighting but you can’t have it further back unless it has a bigger back side.  You can’t move much weight back into the air, so to make an iron easier to hit manufacturers have started to “fatten” the back of them.  So hybrid clubs that look more like an iron appear to have a bulge on the back.  They just moved the weight further back on the iron.  Now they can have weight along the outside of the club and further back. 
On the other hand, companies who make their Hybrid Golf Club look more like a fairway wood have been able to move the weight back a little more as the club is larger.  Not large enough to be the size of a harder to hit fairway wood but large enough to do the trick. 
Hybrid golf clubs also have a lower center of gravity.  If you move the center of gravity down then the ball gets up in the air easier.  It helps increase the launch angle of the ball without having to increase the actual loft of the club.  This may not be visible but the result is. 
If you have a 3 iron that is 20 degrees and a hybrid golf club that is the same loft, but with the weight further back  and the center of gravity lower… the club will launch the ball higher.  That’s why it is important to realize that when making a purchase of a hybrid golf club that the lofts are not directly comparable to the club you are replacing. 
There are some players who swear by hybrid golf clubs and others who think they are just junk.  But the simple fact is that a hybrid golf club is easier to get into the air, down the fairway and onto the green

While working as a salesman for Witteck Golf, Adams noticed that the new two piece balls performed better on irons than on true woods.  This led him to develop the Taylor Made metal wood.  The driver caught on quickly and Taylor Made has been a leader in hollow metal woods ever since.

Taylor Made continues to make innovations in the area of golf club design.  They have come out with new hybrid golf clubs that are lighter and easier to swing.  The drivers that Taylor Made produces are made of materials that make them easier to hit and as the club faces get larger and larger, Taylor Made has also joined in on the craze.

Many golfers, amateurs and professionals alike, swear by Taylor Made clubs.  Their constantly improving design and performance have made them favorites on the pro circuit.  Golfers are finding that they can get some real distance with Taylor Made drivers and their irons perform very well too.

Besides some of the greatest golf clubs in the world, Taylor Made also manufactures its own line of golf balls as well as producing Maxfli golf balls.  Their two-piece balls come in a variety of specialized weights and compressions which can help you hit the ball farther and with more accuracy.  Of course, that does depend somewhat on your swing as well!

Recently, Taylor Made acquired the Adidas corporation and are now adding golf shoes to their lineup of products.  Their bags are durable and are a favorite among many golfers today.  The present company is known as Taylor Made-Adidas Golf.

If you want to own a set of Taylor Made golf clubs, be prepared to pay quite a price for them – especially if you are buying them new.  But know that you are making an investment in your golf game and will be paying for quality clubs that can last you for a very, very long time.

Taylor Made’s drivers, hybrids, and fairway woods are used by more professionals than any other brand.  There’s a reason why the pros choose Taylor Made for their club selections.  If the pros think Taylor Made is worthy of playing, shouldn’t you too?
