4 iron
to replace a 3 iron or 4 iron
In general it equals a 5 iron.
Taylormade Rescue is a hybrid that is similar to a 3 iron. I have one in my bag and it is the longest of my irons. (I say irons even though it is a hybrid because it hits like one.) My rescue has slightly more punch than my 3 iron. Hope this helps.
A 3 iron is normally about 21 degrees. A 20 degree hybrid will act like a 2 iron, yes a 3 iron normally is 21 degrees, obviously the hybrid is 1 degree stronger, but it is also slightly longer which will also increase distance.
A 3 iron is usually 21 degrees and and 4 iron 24 degrees, so a strong 4 iron. Depends on manufacturer really. And also remember the shafts on hybrids are slightly longer, perhaps by an inch which means the ball goes further.
For the average amateur golfer, the standard complement of clubs is: Driver 3 Wood 5 Wood 3 Iron or Hybrid 4 Iron or Hybrid 5 Iron or Hybrid 6 Iron 7 Iron 8 Iron 9 Iron Pitching Wedge Sand Wedge Lob Wedge Putter However, the is no "standard" set, and you may find that a Gap Wedge is more useful than a Lob Wedge (Gap is between PW and SW).
a hybrid is designed to go farther and make better contact
A hybrid gold iron differs than a regular iron due to its design and structure being much better which gives the user much more control. Its also made of graphite and steel or titanium.
Depending how good you are and what swing speed you have you want probably hit a 5 iron hybrid 170.
