In my quest to fill the gap between my 3 wood and 3 iron and also have an alternative to the 2 iron,I have been sourcing a hybrid 2 or 3 after the old Cally 5wood I had resafted didn’t go that much higher than my 2 iron.
With the help of a Nudgee and 3oneday I had a few leads on Rescue Mid’s and A Cally Heavenwood on 3onedays advice.
I really didn’t want to wait for one to come across from the US,so while doing a quote on the north side I dropped into HOG.Of course no RM in LH and at a touch under $300 I turned away from them to see the Nickent Hybrids on a stand and a bag full of lefties.
Now normally I would have p$ssed on one if any of you had said give em ago, but then I remembered one of the guys I play with at Windaroo (and he plays off 4) has a #2 and has hit it great every time I have seen him use it.
He doesn’t carry a 3 wood and I have seen him hit it as far as my 3wood a couple of times.
So I thought what the heck, asked the guy how much, and got him down to $180 from $199.
OK that’ll do I thought and decided on a #2 @17 degrees, stiff graphite shaft.
Hit a bucket of balls at the range last night and it seemed to fit in between the 3wood and 3iron like I wanted.
Played Caboolture with Jarro and Damo today and got to hit it twice. First time was off the tee on a short par 4 and didn’t hit it real good but it went straight and still went about 180m, so I thought not too bad considering.
The next was on a par 5 for my second, around 230ish out we figured and down wind a bit. I was going to hit 3wood and thought no I’ll give the hybrid ago.
Well holy crap, I pulled it a bit and ended up past the green and only about 20m away from a water hazard. Very glad I didn’t hit the 3wood the way I was hitting it today.
I was very happy with the ball flight and how high it went. I think after 2 hits on course and a half a bucket of balls this club seems to be doing what I want from it. Now to see if it will do what I am hoping it will do around Windaroo.
So who needs to spend a heap of money on one of the big names, this K-Mart special looks like it is going to fill the gap I was hoping it would.
