I'm talking about confidence in a club that you've got in hand and straight away which would I mentally prefer to hit a hybrid or an iron because effectively whichever way you dress this up this is still an iron and I think for me from a mental perspective I would have more confidence in hitting this thing but we'll see. Right so the situation we're faced right now is second shot on a par five and the go to club would surely beat the hybrid that bulk and mass like I said giving me the confidence to I need 180 yards I need to be back down that fairway ready for my approach to the green so yeah here we go. Now although we've took that one a little bit down that left hand side and judging by where my alignment is that might have a little bit to do with it the hybrid did exactly as you would expect and that has launched the ball high the ball absolutely fizzes off it and if I could aim the right way that would surely be the perfect start but let's switch up and try that five hd iron and see what that does right let's get another ball down similar spec to where we've just hit and I've got to admit the one big thing about stealth hd irons is like we've said also contain a fair bit of mass so my thing is with that I feel like I don't need to do as much in terms of effort because I might need to do if I add a bladed club in hand now what a strike that was probably a better swing and a better shot shape that one is in position a and interestingly enough surprisingly as well is that the fact that the hd iron hit the ball higher than that of the hybrid that's just one shot in was that down to strike or was that down to the magic that's packed into these hd irons today's video comes to you in association with long-term channel travel partner glencore golf holidays and we're at kinseter marina in kashkai portugal the hotel and golf course have been a superb place to play and stay in the portuguese sunshine and the proximity to lisbon airport and nearby kashkai make it the perfect european golf destination so if you like what you see in today's video then make sure you click on the link in the video description below or head on over to glencoregolf.com for more booking information right so we've just pitched up a little bit further down the fairway and this time we're 180 yards out we're playing from the sort of first cutter rough but this time we're playing into the green so what we're really looking for is how do they differ in terms of that ball flight and descent angle in terms of are they landing on greens and then stopping on them that is the next key question that you're asking from these clubs and the type of shot that you're looking to execute that's a super strike it's just right of flag there you go first bounce er just left of flag sorry first bounce seemed to come down fairly soft but it's the ball flight that allows it to do it because no matter how high it is in terms of launch it is the same in terms of descent angle it's coming down steep and a relevance of spin that ball looks as though it's stopping so everything that i would have expected to see in terms of the hybrid i will just leak that one out a bit to the right hand side interesting enough from a carry perspective it probably did what we would have thought or hoped at least anyway it certainly got there ball flies a little bit different in terms of a little bit lower launching and therefore descent angle again would probably be an issue coming into that green so for me from the tightline on the fairway their help or the extra help i got from the hybrid would probably have been the winner in this situation now of course one other major consideration is the looks of these product and in two ways first of all from a shelf appeal perspective what are you thinking let me know in that comment section below i mean i think what they've done in terms of that hd iron is a really good job of making a genre of club look really appealing yes it's bulky yes it's got a lot of mass that whole soul is super wide and can often put you off straight away but they've built the club height very differently it's just it's almost a hybrid of an iron and a hybrid if you like and i don't mind what they've done at all and the more i've played with these in the testing that i've done the more i've got used to the look the hybrid obviously is just classic hybrid looks to a degree because what they've done with the hd line up if they've made the profile just a little bit bigger so again for me i don't really like the small hybrids they're not that appealing i just don't like the look of them never mind what they do in terms of confidence or anything else but i like this idea of sort of almost like a mini fairway would and to me that's what they've done with this hd product so you've got to make a decision you're looking at these two things on the shelf or you're looking at these two things at address which one is it that you would choose and like i said i've given you my opinion but please get involved in the comment section below and let me know yours right so next scenario would be a tight par four where i will be reaching for a hybrid typical of this where really what you're looking for is position off the T obviously same applies we're looking for 180 yards that's a kind of distance i would expect from both of these clubs but it's about confidence again i think having started to review it's the one thing that i've found is that i'm using that word a lot is confidence in these scenarios what would i prefer to be hitting i suppose that's it and what's happening is traditionally my mindset is taking me towards the hybrid but we've seen earlier on in the video was that mentality was perhaps incorrect because the five hd iron did just as good of a job anyway let's see how we get on and can we find this tight fairway at kinto the marine it's a lovely golf ball them trees in the backdrop are our line or the tallest one sort of right of centre right here we go well that's a super ball from the hybrid again what's interesting to be honest with you is a stronger ball flight in terms of that launch angle than perhaps what i would have expected similar to what we've seen from the fairway line don't forget we're taking it off the T this time so that was a bit of a shock let's see what happens in terms of that ball flight with that five hd iron i'll just turn that one over into the left hand side again super strike ball flight to be honest with you very very similar i think in in my mindset with both maybe they would just look to be a little bit of extra effort to put in there to get that one down the fairway again not a great deal to separate them probably found the ball speed out of the hybrid did me a favour there and we'll look down range and see where those two ended up my guess would be that i certainly got a lot more help out of the hybrid there than i did from the iron maybe not as good of a strike but certainly a clear difference in terms of where those two have finished up at least based on the strike that i think i put on them both now the next reason you would have one of these over the other in the bag is perhaps versatility flexibility and just how many times you might use each of these clubs in your round of golf i don't know about you but i was starting to find that my five iron was becoming a little bit redundant and i didn't play it quite as often as i thought i did so would i want that in the bag and that flexibility also lends itself to around the green because there's one shot that i really like playing with hybrid with loft and that's a little bit of a dink and run as i like to call it and this chip shot that we've got behind us is perfect potentially for the hybrid i'm not so sure i'd be trying the same shot with the five iron but as with the others let's see how we get on in terms of results so for me it's a little bit of a choke down a bit of a putting stroke and i love what a hybrid does in these situations or at least i hope i do be a little bit firm you know sit down it's just rolled off onto the fringe do you know what it wasn't the end of the world these greens are super quick it came to the marina i can learn a lot from that in terms of the five iron but what does it do you wouldn't naturally play this shot with a five iron you would perhaps play an eight or a nine iron but let's give that one a bit of a go it could go in the hole well it's very close and we were able to learn a lot from the first shot with a hybrid in terms of the pace of the shot but interestingly enough i said i wouldn't play a five iron from that situation but would i play a five hd iron or quite possibly based on those results right so one of the things you might choose one over the other is because you just want all out distance and with the lofts being the same which is going to generate that further distance now again my assumption is going to be that the hybrid the mass that's in there and that loft elements as well is going to mean that that combination slightly longer shaft as well don't forget is going to produce the longer results so we're going to stand on this tee and we're going to give the ball a good old thump and see which one of these two gets out there in terms of distance and perhaps more importanly which one is easier to get that ball out there well big high ball flight slightly cutty out to the right hand side ball fired out there not learned a great deal in terms of from the hybrid but what happens when i hit the iron can it match it in terms of that ball speed well do you know what it was a much better strike with the iron with the hybrid that was bullet straight really strong ball flight and i think what i am learning as this progresses is what i think a hybrid is going to do in terms of the bonuses that it offers against the iron in this case the hd iron maybe it doesn't right i think we're going to draw it to a close there's not many more situations i can put these two into the test i suppose we get it a lot more shots but i think we've seen enough and i think i'm pretty shocked at what my opinion is at the end of this compared to perhaps what i assumed it might be and that is that the stealth five hd iron performed far greater than i expected it to be and very much in line with our hybrid performance rather than along irons performance and i think to be fair that's what taylor made intended when they set out and made this set of irons and they've certainly achieved it the problem you've got is that just briefly on them hd irons is maybe that's not what you're looking for in the shorter end of the bag but in the longer and this really works well the hybrid performed equally as well but i think the choice then becomes do i want to play an iron or do i want to play a hybrid because you're not really losing out by choosing one over the other whereas if you chose hybrid over a blade iron in five we've got some clear decisions to make so i love the idea that the hd line up exists in terms of the stealth irons and a real good addition to their line up hugely surprised anyway that was me at least let me know if you've got any feedback that you want to add from your own experience i would love to hear from you right thanks again to kins of the marina and thanks for portugal for the sun shining on us and another trip that like i said organised by glenclaw golf hugely appreciative to them as well i'm all done i'll see you tomorrow night
