I play Golf with HYBRID irons – is it CHEATING? [Video]

0:00 | how can I make golf as easy as possible

0:03 | well in this video I’m here at walty

0:05 | golf club to find out if I was to play

0:08 | golf with these hybrid irons full set of

0:12 | hybrid irons from four iron all the way

0:15 | down to Sand Wedge will it result in me

0:18 | finding the game easier all my m strike

0:21 | suddenly are finding greens I’m suddenly

0:23 | just playing with so much ease well

0:24 | let’s find out if that’s the case so I

0:27 | originally reviewed these hybrid ions

0:30 | last summer it’s a full set from four IR

0:33 | down to Sand Wedge they cost

0:35 | £370 and they called

0:37 | wasaki now they also come with these

0:40 | cute little head covers and underneath

0:42 | you see these gold almost crimson red

0:46 | colored top um now I hit loads of shots

0:49 | last time with these clubs they’re

0:50 | hybrid so they go really really high up

0:52 | in the air and they are easy to hit but

0:55 | where I struggled was if I went in a

0:57 | bunker the sand wedges definitely a

0:59 | challenge

1:00 | and maybe some of the short shots might

1:01 | be tricky as well today but with them

1:04 | being hybrids maybe I won’t fat them or

1:06 | thin them who knows might just be that a

1:08 | little bit easier so we’re going to play

1:10 | the b n I’ve also put in my driver my

1:12 | 3-wood and my putter so I want to see

1:15 | actually what I do score over these nine

1:16 | holes here at wall um without further

1:19 | Ado let’s kick things off and the reason

1:21 | why I’m bringing these out on the golf

1:22 | course in the last video I said if the

1:24 | video got 20,000 likes I bring on the

1:26 | golf course it actually got nearly

1:28 | 40,000 likes so you guys are super Keen

1:31 | to see what happens if I play with these

1:32 | clubs now the first hole here I’m going

1:34 | to play we’re on the bat nine and the

1:35 | 10th

1:36 | hole I must admit I going actually hit

1:39 | driver just to kick things off I want to

1:42 | score do you know what I mean I want to

1:43 | play well around this bat nine and I

1:45 | feel like it’s a driver off the first T

1:47 | here short PA four let’s see if we can

1:48 | get it

1:49 | close and let’s see let’s put a a goal

1:54 | of I mean shooting level par really is

1:57 | the goal for the bat nine let’s see if

1:58 | we shoot level par bat nine

2:00 | using the hybrid irons look at that look

2:02 | at that hey everything else is blacked

2:06 | out black bag black head covers and then

2:08 | boom I’ve got these brown and

2:11 | gold interesting looking clubs in my bag

2:14 | it’s definitely caught a few people’s

2:16 | attention already just getting the clubs

2:18 | out of the car right drive off the first

2:21 | let’s play

2:25 | well that’s not bad get up there ball

2:30 | like I say it’s a short power four I

2:32 | don’t think I got every bit of that one

2:34 | but we should be playing a little Chip

2:36 | Shot from the front of the

2:38 | green get one of these Rascals out not

2:40 | sure which one yet let’s go and find it

2:43 | first okay so I didn’t quite strike that

2:47 | first t- shot but we’re actually in a

2:49 | great position just short of the green

2:51 | tin is as far back as it can possibly

2:55 | big oh

2:57 | normally I’d probably want to grab like

2:59 | a Gat wedge land in the middle of the

3:02 | green and let it run all the way you can

3:03 | see I’ve got a huge

3:06 | elevation I’m going to go

3:08 | sandwich now again this is a

3:12 | hybrid with the loft of a

3:16 | sandwi one of my complaints last time

3:18 | was actually some of this gold um paint

3:22 | on the on the face actually scratched up

3:24 | after only a few shots in the bunker you

3:26 | can see that quite apparent but I’m more

3:28 | testing the theory of how hybrid irons

3:30 | than this actual set

3:32 | itself feels like I’m using a lofted

3:34 | putter quite like it see we land it on

3:38 | the green roll it

3:44 | up that should be

3:48 | phenomenal over the

3:51 | back thought that was phenomenal it’s

3:53 | actually gone over the back apparently

3:55 | thought that was absolutely

3:57 | perfect okay uh I don’t know what

3:59 | happened there it’s actually gone way

4:01 | too big I’ve got one hell of a shot now

4:04 | I’ve got to literally lob it up with a

4:07 | sand sand wedge

4:10 | hybrid um this is going to be a tricky

4:12 | one it’s going to require some real

4:16 | skill

4:18 | ah this going to be hard this is where I

4:22 | need a lob wedge

4:27 | ideally hopefully we should be on the

4:29 | Green

4:30 | that’s four shots

4:32 | now okay down the hill going to be

4:39 | fast go do it for me do it for me

4:44 | oh so

4:47 | close after a good drive the hybrid Sand

4:51 | Wedge let me down there that is a double

4:53 | bogey on the first ouch right come on

4:58 | Plenty of holes to go okay not the start

5:00 | I needed there after that actually what

5:02 | I thought was a great second shot it ran

5:04 | through the back um we’ll call that a

5:06 | teething issue right second hole I’m

5:08 | going to hit driver again and leave

5:10 | myself a full hybrid left

5:15 | in it’s pretty good just up the right

5:17 | but will

5:19 | work think I’ll probably leave myself

5:21 | like an eight or nine hybrid left in

5:23 | there now just need to work out the

5:25 | distance they definitely come out fast

5:27 | like they come off hot off the face I

5:30 | need to take that into consideration

5:32 | otherwise going to get into little

5:33 | tricky spots like I did on the

5:36 | last do you think they look good in my

5:38 | bag or not I’m not sure I’m not sure if

5:40 | I quite uh quite fully uh love them in

5:44 | my bag I tell you what one huge positive

5:48 | they’re very light like actually in my

5:51 | bag it feels like I’m carrying half a

5:53 | set it’s

5:54 | lovely obviously that’s because of the

5:56 | graphite shafts and the and the light

5:58 | ahead but

6:00 | God that honestly it feels like I’m I’m

6:02 | I’ve left golf clubs

6:03 | behind very nice on my back I’ve

6:06 | actually that drive pretty good I’ve

6:08 | actually only got 80 yards left into

6:11 | this

6:13 | hole 80 yards well obviously it’s going

6:16 | to be the sand

6:18 | wedge and let me think about this I

6:21 | reckon I probably full would hit this

6:22 | about 110 so I’ve I’ve almost got to

6:25 | half what feels like half swing this

6:28 | luckily for me I’m I know it’s going to

6:30 | go up in the air and let’s hopefully we

6:32 | can stop it quick need some needs a bit

6:34 | of creativity

6:37 | here oh be good sit down a

6:41 | bit oh I’m a bit worried that’s gone

6:43 | long

6:44 | again oh no I felt like I tap that

6:48 | there’s too much power in these

6:51 | clubs it’s just too much power I feel

6:54 | like that’s

6:56 | gone3 yards and I meant to only hit at

6:58 | 80

7:00 | right might have another precarious chip

7:03 | now you know where I said at the start

7:06 | of this video I’m putting these clubs in

7:07 | to make golf easier at the moment I feel

7:11 | like they’re causing me more issues I

7:13 | feel like it’s actually making it

7:14 | slightly harder more challenging

7:16 | certainly these little fiddly shots I

7:18 | reckon on the full shots it’ll be fine

7:20 | but anything on the little short shots

7:23 | oh I’m finding these very very difficult

7:26 | to manage and that might be just the

7:29 | reason why most hybrids stop at like 5

7:33 | a.m. you don’t normally get pitching

7:35 | wedges and sand wedges in hybrid that

7:37 | might be for a very very valid

7:41 | reason okay look at this look at this

7:44 | for a

7:46 | spot I can’t honestly I can’t believe

7:48 | how far that sand wedge has just gone

7:51 | the flag’s there I mean I’ve I’ve hit

7:52 | that and genuinely felt like I tickled

7:54 | it it’s gone about 130 yards I don’t is

7:59 | is there a different way of playing this

8:01 | like could I even use the top of the

8:02 | golf club I just don’t know if there’s

8:05 | enough Loft like a lob wedge isn’t

8:07 | almost enough Loft here look at it’s on

8:09 | a good lie right creativity here come on

8:13 | literally gripping so far

8:15 | down just need to dink

8:20 | it that’s not a terrible effort it’s

8:22 | come out way left but that wasn’t bad I

8:25 | L you saw I literally tapped

8:27 | it oh we’re now

8:30 | got a I’m not a bad opportunity for par

8:33 | actually maybe the tactic is Don’t Leave

8:37 | myself under 130 yards to the hole maybe

8:41 | the tactic is to lay it up and hit full

8:44 | of shots you know what it also just

8:46 | shows the importance of when you can

8:49 | taking clubs out on the golf course to

8:51 | test because if I’d hit these clubs and

8:55 | obviously these are hybrid irons but

8:56 | think about it as like almost strong

8:58 | lofted irons I could hit the in a

8:59 | simulator hit him a million miles dead

9:02 | easy to hit get him out on the golf

9:04 | course and you start to identify some

9:05 | weaknesses certainly on the shorter

9:07 | shots right come on I see we in Salvage

9:10 | a

9:15 | par it’s a great put again I feel at the

9:18 | moment using my own golf clubs i’ would

9:21 | have been no worse than level path

9:24 | through these first two holes the fact

9:26 | I’m three

9:28 | over

9:29 | I think only uh only shows what sort of

9:33 | a challenge this is you know what’s

9:34 | funny the next hole is actually my

9:36 | favorite hole in this golf course it’s a

9:37 | beautiful little par three designed by

9:39 | old Tom Morris um just

9:42 | imagine I pull out a nine hybrid knock

9:45 | it in for a one and forever I’ve got to

9:48 | be telling people I made a hole in one

9:50 | with a hybrid N9 iron either way it’s

9:53 | it’s a great story let’s see if we can

9:54 | do it hey let’s see if we can do it on

9:56 | the next what would old Tom Morris think

10:00 | one of the the far founder of golf what

10:03 | would he actually think now if he saw

10:05 | these out on the golf

10:07 | course what do you think of today’s

10:09 | technology in general never

10:12 | mind

10:15 | these he might like him he might be uh

10:17 | he might be thinking perfect what a way

10:19 | to make the game easier we got par three

10:21 | here 130 yards I’d normally hit a

10:24 | pitching wedge slightly into Breeze I

10:26 | might chip a nine but I feel like these

10:28 | hybrids go so far I’m going to hit a

10:29 | pitching wedge full pitching

10:31 | wedge pins at the front come on see if

10:34 | we can do good let’s see if we can box

10:36 | one I’m going to play this I’m going to

10:38 | play this as a normal pitching wedge so

10:41 | I think it’s a little bit into

10:43 | Breeze in fact is it a

10:47 | nine from memory these last time I hit

10:50 | full shots with these hybrid irons they

10:53 | go really really really high up in the

10:57 | air that’s a

11:00 | what are you an idiot sandwich I think I

11:02 | nearly pulled the six side out there

11:05 | that would have been a I would have

11:06 | ended up on the motor in the background

11:08 | right full nine iron I’m going to send

11:10 | it up to space let the wind just hurt it

11:12 | a little

11:14 | bit it’s going to slam dunk straight

11:16 | [Music]

11:25 | in it’s gone quite a long

11:28 | way pulled it a little bit but it’s gone

11:30 | all the way back left of the green I I

11:34 | need I should have trusted my first

11:36 | instinct of the pitching wedge I

11:38 | switched to nine and I’ve

11:40 | been kind of been punished there a

11:42 | little bit it’s gone long tough up and

11:44 | down from the back of the green

11:46 | now nice shot good hit I can’t complain

11:49 | with the strike can’t believe how long

11:51 | it went it’s a good job I didn’t hit the

11:53 | six

11:55 | iron okay this is going to be an

11:57 | interesting little shot I would normally

12:00 | actually put this but FY just giv a

12:02 | little chip with The Sand Wedge I’ve got

12:04 | to hold it into this Bank on the right

12:07 | going to flirt with that bunker can’t

12:09 | believe I thought honestly that nine

12:10 | iron into wind has gone about 150 yards

12:14 | right little little dinky chippy

12:21 | one

12:24 | oh that was as as perfectly executed as

12:29 | I could possibly execute it I mean

12:32 | really it’s like a

12:34 | chipper and maybe maybe there’s still

12:38 | some life in these clubs yet that was uh

12:40 | that was a beautiful shot really enjoyed

12:42 | that one for the first par on the

12:47 | scorecard that was really close to going

12:50 | in that chip down the hill little bit

12:52 | left to

12:55 | right yes nice PA we’ve got one

13:01 | everybody made it hard work

13:04 | but all day have got up and down with a

13:06 | normal wedge there off the back of the

13:08 | green Maybe not maybe not okay that was

13:11 | nice power five coming up next I think

13:13 | we can I think we still got birders in

13:15 | us on this on these last few holes I

13:17 | really do okay par five slight dog leg

13:20 | right come

13:21 | on good drive couple of hybrids let’s

13:25 | make a

13:28 | birdie oh lost balance but good

13:34 | drive yep good spot okay good drive four

13:37 | hybrid but this really is a a proper

13:40 | hybrid what hybrid should be a four

13:42 | hybrid there’s not one down there get it

13:46 | close

13:53 | nice very nice it’s what a hybrid’s

13:56 | supposed to be for right come on let’s

13:58 | see if play a nice short shot this time

14:01 | like the last hole front of the green

14:03 | I’m actually going to play a little bump

14:05 | and run with an eight iron it’s

14:08 | basically like a a chipper grip down on

14:11 | it use the Contours let’s see if we can

14:14 | get it up to that back

14:16 | pin anything inside 10 ft and I feel

14:19 | like we’ve can make bird

14:25 | here run and hop and Skip and go and go

14:28 | and go go and go and go that’s actually

14:31 | pretty good that’s pretty good come on

14:34 | let’s see if we can knock one

14:37 | in bit of birdy sauce with the

14:40 | hybrids take

14:42 | that okay come on

14:45 | Rick give yourself a chance it’s pretty

14:48 | straight

14:51 | put

14:55 | oh oh went for it good give me give me

15:00 | yeah

15:02 | thanks oh I absolutely went for

15:06 | it never mind we’ve got another par five

15:08 | coming up getting used to these

15:11 | [Music]

15:17 | hybrids okay another par five come on

15:20 | see if we can get a birdie this

15:23 | [Music]

15:26 | time it’s a great Drive

15:32 | first bit done okay 200 yards into this

15:35 | part five we’re going to go four right

15:36 | four going to say four ion there that’s

15:38 | wrong four hybrid put in the middle of

15:41 | the green let’s set up a nice Eagle

15:45 | opportunity oh be really

15:50 | good be really really really really good

15:55 | my here we

15:57 | go here we go I take it all back hybrids

16:02 | for life got a clear cut Eagle

16:07 | opportunity that’d be nice yeah long

16:09 | irons kind of go the right distance like

16:12 | I’m almost comfortable I know how far

16:13 | that four hybrid’s going to go it’s

16:15 | whenever you get those little delicate

16:17 | ones I just don’t know just don’t know

16:19 | how far it’s going to go I feel like the

16:22 | seven iron down to Sand Wedge goes

16:24 | probably 20 yards further than what I

16:26 | expect look at this

16:30 | woo look check out where it’s even

16:34 | pitched I don’t think I would have done

16:36 | as anywhere near as good of that with a

16:39 | 4 round it’s pitched there it’s finished

16:42 | there this is for an

16:45 | eagle okay come on for an

16:50 | eagle it’s a good looking p as well

16:54 | really good looking

16:55 | po you know what though

16:59 | I think it’d be an unjustice to do it

17:01 | with the putter I do I’ve got an

17:04 | idea might be a stupid

17:07 | one might be a stupid

17:10 | idea it was the hybrid that got me here

17:13 | can the hybrid finish it off I might

17:17 | regret this but I might

17:22 | [Music]

17:25 | not

17:27 | yes

17:29 | driver

17:31 | hybrid hybrid in for

17:34 | Eagle

17:36 | Eagle I told I just needed to leave

17:38 | myself full of shots in that’s crazy in

17:42 | fact I’m actually for the round now I’m

17:44 | actually only one over

17:46 | par who would have thought

17:48 | it the old

17:51 | wasaki hybrid

17:53 | irons SL now Potter they can do

17:57 | everything they can do everything

17:59 | okay this next hole is a 350 yard Par

18:02 | Four I’m actually going to play it a

18:04 | little bit more sensibly I’m going to go

18:06 | four hybrid which would be my third shot

18:08 | in a row with this club uh and then

18:10 | leave myself a full of shot in I think

18:12 | driver I’m going to end up again

18:14 | leaveing myself that awkward yardage

18:20 | in

18:23 | perfect little bit too far right but not

18:26 | bad at all okay 138 yards I’m actually

18:31 | going to go with this the pitching wedge

18:34 | I feel like I I feel like I could

18:36 | probably even get there with the sand

18:37 | wedge but going go with a full blooded

18:39 | pitching wedge see if we get it up there

18:41 | pins at the front come

18:45 | on oh be fantastic wind wind

18:51 | wind oh that’s really good that’s really

18:55 | good I like the strategy on I mean

18:57 | honestly that’s one of the furthest

18:59 | pitching red shots I’ve ever hit in my

19:01 | life it’s 138 to the pin and that’s gone

19:04 | even five or six yards longer than that

19:06 | it’s like 100 nearly 150 yard pitching

19:09 | wedge

19:12 | uphill keep it warm this would be a real

19:16 | a real pivotal moment this is actually

19:18 | get back to level par down the hill

19:20 | little slippery one right left to

19:23 | right it’s going to be

19:27 | fast

19:37 | ouch I really thought I’d box that oh

19:42 | good give me thanks everyone no I pre no

19:45 | thank you

19:48 | seriously thanks for the gim me right

19:51 | still one over a few holes left up for

19:53 | God that was a good part getting used to

19:55 | these hybrids I am got a great power

19:57 | three coming up next get one of my

19:59 | favorites 16th hole the par three an

20:01 | unbelievable hole 200 yards now this

20:03 | club has been my favorite Club so far

20:05 | the four hybrid hit it for that setup

20:07 | for eagle and the whole P hit off the

20:08 | last T this is the same distance it’s

20:11 | just going to be a nice little four four

20:14 | hybrid don’t turn don’t turn don’t turn

20:17 | don’t turn don’t turn no no no no no

20:20 | stay

20:22 | up

20:24 | oh I just overdrew

20:27 | it it’s my have uh slipped down that

20:29 | bank on the left such a good strike but

20:32 | might have one of those little tricky

20:33 | chips again ah felt good over that as

20:37 | well just come off into the runoff area

20:41 | come on little little up and down let’s

20:43 | keep this score

20:48 | going ah just they come out it’s not

20:51 | terrible even with the the lofted hybrid

20:54 | you saw that like came out hot and

20:56 | forward it’s not going up and spinning

20:59 | so it’s hard to actually generate any

21:01 | real spin with it you’re almost playing

21:03 | it like a like a really lofted chipper

21:06 | it’s not terrible but just over slightly

21:08 | overhit it again come on let’s knock it

21:10 | in for

21:14 | par very nice Salvage are good up and

21:18 | down there from the side of the green

21:20 | two holes to go one over there’s still a

21:22 | chance for shooting level par but either

21:24 | way after that horrendous start I’m

21:26 | actually quite happy the way it’s gone

21:28 | [Music]

21:33 | 17th smash driver hybrid on the Green

21:36 | Let’s make another

21:42 | birdie take

21:47 | that we will take

21:50 | that okay second shot here on 17 138

21:55 | yards I’m actually going to a chiper

21:57 | pitching wge this time it’s not even a

21:58 | full

22:00 | one oh

22:07 | wow yeah that wasn’t quite the intended

22:10 | idea on that I think I just scooped

22:12 | right underneath that right I was

22:14 | thinking there’s a few clubs I’ve not

22:16 | actually used yet this round and I might

22:19 | not do one the next

22:20 | so don’t think it’s the right choice but

22:23 | I want to play it I’m going to play a

22:25 | little s iron bump and run I’ve not hit

22:27 | the seven iron in this set yet

22:35 | today

22:38 | oh maybe I shouldn’t have hit the 7 iron

22:41 | but at least I say I can give it a

22:42 | chance I’ll give it a chance today right

22:45 | let’s go and hold this part come on then

22:47 | Rick important part let’s keep the dream

22:55 | alive rolled her in got a bird the last

22:58 | now to shoot level P been an adventurous

23:02 | eight holes it really

23:03 | has one more to play okay last hole 430

23:08 | yards it’s been an adventure with these

23:09 | clubs it really has um

23:12 | some instances it’s definitely made the

23:15 | game easier others it’s made it much

23:17 | harder uh I want to finish this last

23:20 | hole by hitting probably a couple of

23:22 | clubs have not had chance to hit yet

23:23 | five iron being one of them so I’m going

23:25 | to hit five iron off the tea and then

23:27 | probably leave myself some like an eight

23:29 | or 9 roughly I reckon to the

23:31 | green birdie to shoot level

23:36 | par stop drawing

23:41 | ball yeah should be fine a little bit

23:44 | short of what wanted to be but we should

23:46 | be okay there really messed up here I

23:50 | hit five on off the te which was the the

23:53 | worst decision one I hit it badly two

23:56 | are miles away from the holster still

23:59 | I’m actually going have to hit

24:01 | another I’m probably have to hit another

24:03 | five

24:04 | iron probably even a four four I keep

24:06 | saying iron five hybrid probably even a

24:09 | four hybrid but I don’t think I’ll get

24:11 | it over this bank so I’m going to hit

24:17 | five could be really

24:20 | good if it’s dug its feet in it could be

24:27 | sensational

24:30 | what a shot what a shot it’s pitched

24:34 | here level with the pin it’s rolled out

24:36 | a little bit further that was from

24:38 | 220 yards

24:41 | away definitely hybrids and and to to be

24:44 | fair that part of my bag I might even

24:47 | look at at the moment and put a hybrid

24:48 | in the long set cuz I’ve really enjoyed

24:50 | that four and five hybrid today we’ve

24:52 | got this for birdes to finish level par

24:54 | not what we expected I don’t know if

24:57 | this is the solution in in fact in fact

24:59 | I know it’s not the solution full set of

25:01 | hybrids but there’s definite benefits

25:04 | for longer clubs and I’d even go

25:06 | depending on your ability seven iron

25:08 | maybe eight iron maybe but once you

25:10 | start getting to those wedges I’m not

25:12 | sure that’s where the hybrid should live

25:15 | let’s knock this one in for birdie to

25:16 | finish strong so guys hopefully you

25:18 | enjoyed the video if you did make sure

25:19 | you like And subscribe I think it’s easy

25:22 | to say if I’d have had these for the 18

25:23 | holes I would have easily broke 75 right

25:25 | easy let’s see if we can finish it with

25:28 | with a nice

25:36 | birdie thanks for watching and we’ll see

25:38 | you next time
