The hybrid golf club is so named because it made to be a combination of both an iron and a wood. Thus it allows a person to play in just about any kind of cut or condition. The biggest advantage of using a hybrid club is when it comes time for a person to have to use their lower numbered irons, namely 1 through 4. These irons are commonly known as the driving irons and are always used as substitutes to the fairway woods. A hybrid golf club combines all of these characteristics. It gives you the same striking and trajectory of all of those clubs.

Some people in the golf industry like to call a hybrid club a rescue club. Essentially that is what it is. It has a head that is the size of a wood but a shaft and loft like an iron. Some golfers may have some trouble adjusting to hitting with their irons. A lot of amateur players require a lot of time learning how to strike the ball with a blade. The hybrid club eliminates this because with the larger head it allows for a better strike of the ball but at the same time, the length and loft that you expect out of the iron.

The biggest advantage of using a hybrid golf club is that it is so versatile. It can come through in the clutch and has shown that it can get a golfer out of some tricky conditions. It is for this reason that the hybrid club is used by so many golfers, amateur or professional.

Hybrid golf clubs are most often used for the long iron game. These clubs take the weight of a driver and meld it with the shorter shaft of an iron. The weight of the club is an asset to a golfer with a slower  back-swing. Most hybrid clubs are also curved to provide a better lofting of the golfball. This is an advantage to the players whose shot ends up in the rough.
