I'm thinking about redoing my bag, and I keep having people tell me that I need to add a hybrid club to my bag and get rid of my 3 wood.

I am a good golfer, probably about a 10-12 handicap in the off season and capable of playing scratch during the summers. I have a good swing speed, and have no problem hitting the ball a long way. I hit my 3 iron about 220ish. I am not the most accurate long iron player, however; and in particular, I don't hit my 3 wood well at all.

I had never even thought about getting a hybrid until my pro told me he'd put two of them in his bag last week, so I thought I'd look into them.

So..a couple of questions.

#1. Does anyone have any experience changing to these clubs? Are they really that easy to hit? If so, do they have any stopping power at all if hit into a green?

#2. Does anyone have any experience with any specific ones? The two that caught my eye were the Titleist 585, and the R7 Dual. Although, that's just because their the newest ones.
