Curious whether a long iron or hybrid should be your go-to long game club? Dive into this easy-to-follow breakdown comparing long irons’ precision and low, wind-piercing ball flight with the hybrid’s forgiving, higher-launching versatility. We unpack what mid-handicappers, beginners, and shots from tricky lies can expect—and why GOLFTEC club fittings make all the difference.

For any 90s golfer improvement isn't just about more range time - it's about clubs that fit your swing. A full iron fitting at GOLFTEC can change your approach shots right away: more carry, ball flight that lands steeper, and shots that stick the green instead of rolling off.
What a GOLFTEC Iron Fitting Looks Like
- Baseline Evaluation: With your current irons your coach captures todays numbers - carry distance, ball speed, launch, spin, descent angle, and more!
- Measurements that Matter: Height and wrist-to-floor help dial in club length and lie angle, while hand size informs grip size for comfort and control.
- Full-Iron Combo Testing: Your coach will help you test different heads, shafts, lofts, and grips - compare full setups to help you find a club that performs best for you.
- Head Design, Loft, Offset & Lie Angle: Modern iron heads often offer less offset, thinner faces, and proper lofts and lie angles to match your swing trajectory.
Real Gains from Fitting: What You'll Notice
- Longer Carry Distances: Without swinging harder, better launch and spin from the right head/shaft/loft add efficient yardage.
- Better Stopping Power (green hits): Steeper descent angle and appropriate spin mean fewer long roll-outs.
- Improved Consistency: Tighter dispersion and reliable distance gapping build trust in your yardages.
- Confidence: When the club looks/feels right the numbers prove it, committing to the swing gets easier.
How Does GOLFTEC Measure All This?
Every GOLFTEC Club Fitting uses launch monitors and TECFIT technology - so you can see how each club impacts your game.
