Hybrids

Traditionally, driving irons like the Srizon ZX MKII Utility or the Ping iCrossover are geared toward better players. Driving irons are less forgiving but when in the right hands, are a powerful tool. A driving iron allows for more workability, shot shapes, and ball flights off the tee and in the fairway.

A more conventional approach is putting a hybrid in the bag - a combination of a fairway wood and a driving iron. Hybrids typically offer a more penetrating ball flight than high-lofted fairway wood and are more forgiving than a driving iron. A properly fit hybrid will traditionally fly higher than a driving iron or long iron. Manufacturers typically offer variations in hybrid heads to accommodate various skill levels as some are more forgiving than others.
