2 Hybrid Golf Club

January 13, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

When it comes to hybrid golf clubs there are a variety of sizes to choose from.  In general they follow from lowest loft to highest loft when we go from lowest hybrid club number to highest hybrid club number.  So a 2 hybrid has a lower loft and will hit the ball farther than a 3 hybrid, which will in turn his the ball farther with a lower loft than a 4 hybrid.   This page is dedicated to the 2 hybrid golf club which is the lowest loft and longest hitting of all the hybrid clubs.

First it is important to know what the loft means.  In general it is how much of a difference between perpendicular to the ground and horizontal to the ground.  The 2 hybrid comes with an 18 degree loft angle as the standard.  Every 2 hybrid will use this as the standard loft of the club.  Along with that it comes with a 58.5 degree lie angle as the standard.  The lie angle refers to the difference between straight up and down and directly flat.  The lie angle is one thing that changes based mostly on your height, but other things as well when it comes to finding the best fit for your club.  You obviously can get a club changed in terms of loft as well, but this in essence is changing the type of hybrid it is.  If you bend it weaker you are getting ever closer to a 3 hybrid.  Like all hybrid clubs, the standard is that they come without any bounce, which means that it does not have the feature on the club to allow for the club to literally bounce off the ground and still hit the ball.  This makes hybrid especially adept at hitting out of tight lies like you would find in the middle of the fairway and similar.

The 2 hybrid is meant to take the place of a 5 wood or 2 iron in your bag.  At least in terms of distance this is generally the case.  The 2 hybrid will usually have the ball higher in the air allowing for a softer landing on the green than the same distance iron will.  This is due to the club design of a hybrid club vs. that of an iron.  If you have a hard time hitting that 5 wood or 2 iron I would suggest that you take a serious look at a 2 hybrid golf club and the forgiveness it affords.
