I'm having the worst time with my hybrids (Cobra Baffler DWS 3i & 4i).

At the driving range once I get them I'm hitting them fine but it takes a while to get used to. If I switch off from irons to driver then to hybrids at the range, it takes a couple of shots to get the feel of the hybrid and even then, it's maybe 7 out of 10 I get good 'wood' on them.

I try to hit them like irons and it just doesn't work. I'm choking up... no help. I'm not so sure what I'm doing wrong and it messes me up on the course.

I'm so reluctant to use them and drop to the 5 iron and lay up when I know I have the distance on the hybrid if I could just hit them.

I'd say 40% of the time I don't top the ball from the fairway when I use them and when I do get distance, I'm hitting them way right. So of the 40% of the time I don't skull or top it, 50% of the time it goes straight! I've lost all confidence in them.

On the other hand, I have been doing great with the Cobra driver but just traded it in for the Taylor Made Superquad. I've been fighting the wind (I'm here in Hawaii playing golf for the week) and the Cobra just goes too high it seems.

And I now love the Superquad - I'm actually getting 20-30 more yards on them! Is that possible at all? I don't hit very far but with Cobra I was fighting to get 210 sometimes 220 yards. With the Superquad I am getting 230-250 and hitting the fairways better than the Cobra.

I played the Palmer Course at TurtleBay today and had the luxury of a quiet back 9. I teed up a couple on the last couple of holes and was hitting the fairways every time 230-250 yards! It took the front 9 for me to get the feel for this new driver and wow... I'm in love.

I also traded in my Cobra 3wood for the TM Burner 3 wood and wow. This thing is the easiest thing to hit!

I am hitting this thing just as far as the Cobra driver! I rode up to a ball I hit and it was only a pitching wedge away from the hole (100 yards). I came up to the ball and thought no way this ball was mine. Which meant I hit the 3wood 200 yards!!! I took a look and sure enough, it was my ball and it was hit with the wind going left to right. I couldn't believe the distance and how straight the ball flew!

I officially broke 100 today on a pretty challenging course! The yardage book they give you for the course really helped and made me a believer of course management versus going out there and hitting the ball far.

I played the front 9 at the Fazzio Course on Friday and recorded a 46 in what I would call one of my best golf days in my short life as a golfer (4 1/2 months!). I was on my way to breaking 100 there too! I'll be playing the full 18 at Fazzio tomorrow or the next day and hope I break 90.

This, coming off a horrible time at La Costa's Course where my driving was king and my irons were the worst thing ever.

Finally, all clubs worked together (except for the hybrid which cost me a couple of pars!) LOL
