A brief overview of the term including definition, usage, origins, helpful visuals.
A "hybrid" is a mix between a fairway wood and an iron. In recent years, hybrids have become very popular because they are easier to hit than an iron, but offer the feel and distance of a fairway wood.
I like my hybrids because they are much more forgiving than irons.
