I just bought a new set of clubs and in the set were two hybrid clubs. are they better than irons or are the irons a better choice to use?
I would replace with the same tire brand so you don't have weird steering issues. Shop around for the same tires see who can beat the $203 deal you got before installed.
I have an 18 and 21 degree hybrid. Tossed out the 2-4 irons and can hit the 18 220 yards and straight as an arrow. It's very forgiving. If you are a 15+ handicapper, these may be just the ticket. I'm not sure what to do with my 3 wood now, however.
A hybrid is designed to swing and connect with the ease of a wood but gain elevation better than a wood. A hybrid is now generally put in a set of clubs where the 2 , 3 sometimes 4 irons previously existed. An example of this would be like in a fairway trap, you would never want to use an iron in a fairway bunker over a wood because the blade tends to get caught in the sand because it has no bounce, however the depth of the hybrid gives you protection from the blade effect in sand or other difficult grassy lies. Other than the example given above, it is simply personal preference, it is widely believed that a hybrid allows a higher handicap golfer a higher percentage opportunity for a shot that will not hurt one's score.
Hybrid's are designed to replace your long irons. Most people have trouble controling the 2 thru 4 iron. They hit the ball higher and lets it land softer so when you are 200+ yarde out you can hit a hybrid and land on the green without rolling off. Hybrids are wonderful there are players on tour that carry hybrids in there bag. I have replaced my 2,3,4,5, and love them.
