Should you swap your irons for hybrids? Wilson Launch Pad Hybrid Irons review

The whole Wilson Launch Pad range is a super game improvement offering with forgiving, slice combating technology. The aim is to provide more consistent distance gapping throughout the bag of every player.

The big difference in this range to other lightweight models is the use of hybrid irons rather than standard iron models.

So what is a hybrid iron? If the name didn’t give this away, it is a cross between a hybrid and an iron which is designed to replace irons and offer high-handicap golfers an alternative that’s much easier to hit and launch.

Although they wouldn’t like to admit it, most club golfers hit their mid to long irons the same distance. This is fine if you have room to run up shots from the fairway to the green, but not if you have bunkers or water hazards to carry.

All this information begs the question: Should most high handicap golfers be using a full bag of hybrid irons?

After all, they offer much more forgiveness on off-centre strikes and are far more consistent in terms of carry distances. What’s not to love?
