Got a Mizuno 16* hybrid (demo club on sale) & played 9 holes with it yesterday; adjusted to 14*. Jury’s still out but, I think it’s a keeper.
Thx to all for the advice.
Just a reminder.....of which I keep forgetting because I'm an idiot....those hybrids need to be hit like an iron with a bit of downward attack. I get into trouble when I daydream and play them a little too far forward in my stance like a fairway wood. That 16 hybrid that I moved to 15 (up from 14) I think I like better. I also moved my 19 up to 20 this week. I've started hitting the 19/20 if I have any doubts about the shot.....I just make better/safer contact with it and I can usually live with sacrificing the 10-15 yards or so I might lose on the shot.
Another option I seriously thought about when I ordered the 16 Mizuno was length of shaft. The options from the place I got it from allowed a range of a good 1.5" of lengthening or shortening. I thought about going longer for use on 2 holes I tee off with it and I can always grip lower when used on the fairway. I'm always tinkering.....which causes me issues.....
