It has taken since the 1980's for the hybrid golf club to become a common site in many golf bags. With the versatility of the club and as technology and designs have improved. This club is being used by many more golfers. It can give more power and more accuracy, especially for that new golfer or for those looking to improve their score.

The hybrid clubs are constructed to give them a lighter weight and more flexibility. The materials used to construct the shaft may be a combination of steel, carbon, graphite, and fiberglass. The heads of the clubs are also constructed differently than older types. They are made of thinner metal that is filled with a form of polymer. Many of the manufacturers of hybrid clubs have their own signature blend for filling. Not only does this make the club lighter, but it will also have some minor motion to give a springing effect as you hit the ball.

The irons differ from their older style counterparts in a couple of ways. Instead of a wedge of iron that you try to hit under the ball to loft it into play, the hybrid design is hollow and has a slight bulge on the backside of the club. The club is slightly weighted for balance and control and filled with a super polymer to help with the spring reaction. The club is designed instead, to hit the ball on top of the grass, not under, the trampoline effect gives higher loft and more backspin. The word divot may be soon a long memory in the golf world.

The hybrid club is fast becoming a great utility club. With the ability to act like a wood and iron, it can be used in many situations to reach the green. With the head design and durability, it can make it much easier to get out of that grassy rough. The amount of clubs you carry may be greatly reduced with the hybrid club.

The driver in golf used to mean the big wooden club. You rarely see a wooden driver in bags today. There is however, a new hybrid club design of wood and steel that is having great success for slower swingers, like senior players, or beginners. The lightweight in the metal has allowed for a larger face on the club allowing for more accuracy and power.
