I've got several comments for you ryr: -If by chance the second set of clubs arrived (doubtful) why would you pay for them and have 2 sets of identical clubs? I'd see about returning them. -I have had the same experience with hybrids and it pisses me off. The one I'm hitting now is the only one I haven't hooked but it is still a problem child. I think you and I are the only players who haven't unlocked the hybrid secret. Odd thing is I hit a 3 iron pretty well, in fact off the tee it is one of the better shots in my bag. But I have this giant hole in my game between the 3 iron and the driver. If I get on a par 3 that is much over 200 yards I'm screwed. Can't hit a fairway wood very well either. -It sounds to me like your new clubs may be "bent strong" if you are hitting them lower and a bit longer. In other words a 5 iron is actually like a 4 1/2 iron. But if you like them who am I to say. -Although I just bought irons a year ago I may consider forged as well. I should put some tape on my irons to see where I make contact. Most of my misses are pulls etc, I kind of doubt I hit too many off the toe anymore. But that feeling of hitting the sweet spot just right is a pretty rare thing for me and my cavity backs.
