I address this question to a staff representative or any one having insight into this question.
I have a hybrid that is 4/5 years old that has a 14 degree loft. I am interested in upgrading my equipment and have been unable to find any manufacturer with a hybrid that comes even close to this loft.
My reason for wanting such a club is very simple. I can hit it. three woods give me a problem, yet I hit this hybrid as far as my three wood with consistency.
The hybrids presently being produced are to replace a 5 or 4 or 3 or 2 iron. Originally they were produced to assist golfers who had problems with their long irons, 5-4-3 woods. What has changed. The average golfer still needs help/forgiveness with these clubs and the answer then and now is still a wide selection of hybrids.
