There is a new type of wood known as a hybrid.
The hybrid clubs combines the straight-hitting characteristics of irons with the easy-to-hit-in-the-air characteristics of higher-lofted woods. Often used for long shots from a difficult rough, the club is becoming very popular with players who have a difficult time getting the ball airborne with long irons.
These clubs are particularly becoming more popular with older people who have lost the ability to get a full size swing. Hybrids allow for a shorter back swing while launching the same height and distance you are use to hitting with a wood.
It might be worth your time to head to a local golf shop and take a look at these new, innovative hybrid golf clubs.
