Both of these clubs go about 190 yards for me, so it&#8217;s really about the conditions on the course and what&#8217;s happening that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it&#8217;s super windy, I might want to use the 4-iron so I can keep it low and under the wind. Maybe there&#8217;s less rough on the course, and so this one&#8217;s so easy to hit out of the rough so if there is a lot of rough, I&#8217;ll tend to take the hybrid. This one goes so high, so it&#8217;s great for hitting into greens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The crazy thing about the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pxg.com\/clubs\/irons\/gen4-iron-comparison\">GEN4 4-iron<\/a>&nbsp;is that I used to have a bit of a gap between my 22-degree hybrid and 4-iron, about 10 yards, so I would have to cut my 22-degree when I wanted to hit 180 yards. But now that I have the GEN4 4-iron, it goes 10 yards further, so I&#8217;ve eliminated that gap, which is wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I stopped playing every day, I went to the hybrid. I just feel like I can hit it a lot higher. It&#8217;s a little bit more forgiving for me, and I tend to play courses with a lot of rough and I play long courses, so I&#8217;m hitting a lot of long shots into greens, and so I love how high and soft this lands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I carry two hybrids, a 22-degree, which basically replaces my 4-iron, and a 19-degree, which would my&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pxg.com\/en-us\/about\/news\/faqs-fairway-woods-vs-hybrids-vs-long-irons\">replacing my 3-iron or 5-wood<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My swinging thoughts when I have a hybrid is to stay really still. It&#8217;s a longer of a club, so more can go wrong, so I feel like if I just keep my head still and make a smooth swing, it tends to work out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, basically you can&#8217;t go wrong, PXG 4-iron or hybrid. They both have amazing playability!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":3112,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[37,38,41],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2962"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2962"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2962\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3508,"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2962\/revisions\/3508"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/production-a-us-west-2-blog.pxg.cloud\/the-range\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
