Your golf course professional has the expertise to assist you in exploring the benefits of adding a hybrid to your set. Most importantly, have your golf course professional go to the outdoor range to hit and compare these hybrids with the clubs you currently have in your set. Only by seeing ball flight outside and hitting the hybrids from different lies can you properly determine which club will be your new sharpshooter!
