Testing A FULL SET Of Hybrid Irons (3-PW)

in my hand I have a full set of hybrid irons from 11 golf these things are meant to make the golf ball go higher further and ultimately just make this game a little bit easier so in today's video I'm going to dive deep into these things see what all the fuss is about and ultimately find out who exactly these golf clubs are for I'm not bluffing this is a full set of hybrid irons three iron all the way down to pitching wedge I mean traditionally three and four hybrids they've been kind of in people's bags for the better part of 15 20 years years you're seeing more with let's think kind of beginner clubs senior clubs women's clubs you're seeing five six hybrids in play maybe even a seven hybrid but the 89 pitching wedge hybrid that's that's new stuff and I'm skeptical I'm very very skeptical of just like what they'll do how they'll feel how they'll perform so diving into this test and review is going to be incredibly fun for me cuz I think I'm going to learn a lot and I'm probably open my mind to a whole other way to play this game so the clubs themselves they're very very affordable but they're very very high quality coming in at 90 British pounds so give or take your conversion rate it's roughly 115 bucks a hybrid I mean your OEM hybrids are 250 all the way up to 300 so you know roughly half the price but still delivering arguably just as much quality KBS tour graphite iron shaft you come in four flexes the stiffest we can get here is a stiff 80 g so me testing it I mean I play a heavier extra stiff shaft so I'm going to see some spots where the shaft lets me down a little bit but that's not really that important really quality super stroke grip you come with a little minimalistic sock head cover because obviously if you have this many hybrids in your bag and you had a big bulky head cover it's just going to look a mess so this minimalistic sock head cover is really nice it's kind of the only time where you could have iron covers I know they're hybrids hybrid irons but this is like the only time an iron cover is Justified iron covers it just there's no place for them in the game of golf but I digress I will say it is a little bit uh difficult finding the bag the club in the bag with all of these because the number is down here on on the on the shaft so you kind of have to especially in a cart when I use these on the course you kind of have to H but if you're walking obviously your your your club's in the spot needs to be in a little bit easier to find but they look great the three and four iron especially look just as good as the 3 four hybrids that I've tested from tailor made Callaway they look really really good at a dress the pitching wedge it's a little weird to look at I will be honest so I took these out to the range sight unseen the pitching wedge and the four iron and like I said the pitching wedge was really a bit jarring to look down at cuz I'm used to looking at a pitching wedge but my goodness the ease of what to hit these things was like I felt like I'd had to do nothing and it was just like launching High really straight even a slight M hit still like producing the same ball flight the look was different but the result was like so easy I didn't have to do anything I did try to kind of flighted a little bit and it it would feel thin off the strike but I was able to bring the ball flight down a little bit but then I had to remind myself I don't think the golfer that these are targeted to a golfer that's using a hybrid iron pitching wedge is trying to hit flighted knockdown pitching wedges they're just trying to get something that's going to consistently allow them to get really good flight really good distance regardless of quality of strike then I went into the four iron and I mean this thing felt as good as any tour quality OEM long iron hybrid I've ever hit looked really good I love the all black it's really nice especially with the black um graphite shaft and the flight this it just feels solid it doesn't feel cheap like I think a lot of people with direct to Consumer clubs think they're going to feel cheap the feel was good the flight was good and I could bring the flight down because if you're using a long iron hybrid sometimes maybe it's off the tea on a narrow par 4 you feel you want to hit it a little bit lower keep it lower to the ground and I could I could bring the flight down a little bit not in in compromising or sacrificing quality of strike I was very very impressed with my first impression of these out on the driving range but then I had to bring them here into the studio and get some of the data and see just what they were doing because the Lofts are a degree or two stronger than my iron so when I was on the Range I was thinking they're probably going a little bit further so I need to get in here and I needed to test out and get some data and see just exactly what these Club heads were producing so I started with the pitching wedge and yeah like I said a little weird to look at but the numbers it was producing was pretty pretty solid spin numbers looked pretty good maybe a touch low but the launch wasn't crazy high I was thinking oh these are hybrids are going to launch ridiculously high especially in the short irons and kind of be like unplayable but they were launching really really appropriately and they were spinning pretty good for me so I think you know the beginner or the person maybe a senior that needs some help they're going to launch and spin really well for them so that was impressive and and here's just like one example of just like a solid one like it it went a couple yards further it was effortless it was really really impressive seeing that launch angle at 22 half degrees carrying 147 spin just under 10,000 really strong good numbers it did take me a little bit more to get five solid shots I just personally again it it's weird hitting a pitching wedge hybrid so I would get steep on it I just yeah it was a bit a bit harder to get five to solid shots to pull this average but the averages are great spins great launching 24° and I wasn't getting like nuked ones going into this I was expecting oh you're going to hit some that are just going to go like 20 yards further because it's a hybrid and you're just going to sink up and you're just going to mash it and that didn't really happen so that was surprising but also very pleasing and impressive to see then I went into the eight iron and again a couple degrees stronger than my eight iron seen just a few more yards in the air but I'm seeing the spin come down a little bit the launch though the launch is still really good so you're getting good launch for me the spin's a little bit lower like I said with the pitching wedge but I think maybe a little lower swing speed the right shaft the spin numbers will probably come up a little bit but they'll still be matched really well with good launch characteristics so it's not like these hybrids are launching them straight in the air with not enough spin so that they're falling out of the sky or launching them straight in the air with too much spin so they're falling out of the sky they're launching and spinning really really appropriately for the club head speed that I was producing I was very very impressed and and the eight iron it was 5 for five to pull this average it was 5 for five it was so solid so consistent I probably hit my eight iron in the 165 range so we're seeing five more yards of carry ball speed's good club head speed's good the spin is a little bit lower but just really impressive stuff and then I went into the four iron and with the four iron I was seen better spin relative to what I would produce with my irons and because of that I was seen number really appropriately match to what my irons were doing so that was kind of cool so it's like the longer hybrids were matching really well with what my irons do the shorter ones going a little bit further but I think that's going to help a lot of golfers just really solid launch is really good I was really really impressed with the numbers these things were producing and it just makes me think these things are going to make golf so fun for a lot of beginners or let's say those people people that are losing a bit of speed and need a little bit of help in the top of the bag so they can start adding really affordable really high quality hybrids to the top of the bag and maybe make their way down if they're really enjoying the look and enjoying the numbers done range done indoor I had to go play with it I had to go play so I played nine holes with these things and out there I started to see some of the holes for me personally these clubs aren't targeted to me they're not necessarily suited for me the shaft as a wee bit soft when I had to hit the three and four iron I hit it off a couple T's and I hit it into two par fivs it was nice it was really what I would expect but I definitely had to kind of swing a little softer because if I did try to hit it hard the shaft will kick just a little bit and it'll be a little bit harder to deliver uh the face where it needs to to be and the flight will kind of change what one of my worries was was like nuked shots and I did experience it twice in the rough it's so effortless it just Glides through the rough but it kind of like creates a flyer there's not a lot of friction I hit one eight iron that was like 15 yards too far and in that instance I mean that's hit me into the crap over the green I I take caution in the rough with these things but again they're not targeted to me so I think of that that beginner that senior that maybe Junior that needs a little bit of help in certain areas women golfers getting out of the rough's tough so if you've got something that's going to really glide through the rough it's going to make it so much easier I can't say enough good things about them they look great they feel great the build quality is so good the materials are so good Ah that's the best they can like it's it's the only option it is a little bit tough in a cart but you need them because if you don't have them it's like trying to look The Loft and they're going to clang against each other hybrid irons like you're going to you got to find a head cover for them but that's the best option I'm just to me it's tough It's a little bit tough but again I digress I'm really really impressed at this price point the quality of these golf clubs you you saw really solid numbers you saw really really great flight really great consistency I Mish hit these things sometimes and they just did the exact same thing so I think about that beginner golfer I think about my father-in-law as he's playing less golf as he gets a little bit older I feel like I could give him probably the 3 four and five iron and it'll really help his confidence out there help him hit some better shots at those yardages and have more fun play better golf like it's a win I said at the beginning of this video golf is a really hard Sport and there's things that are being introduced to us that are making this game easier and the 11 hybrids definitely are and that's why they're they're so popular really really cool stuff and I know they've got drivers coming and wedges coming so let me know would you like to see me test some of the other stuff from 11 and also let me know do you have things from 11 because if there's anyone watching this video is is wanting and and someone can share that yeah these things are great please let us know share it down below and we'll see you in the next video
