Tommy Armour 2020 845 Hybrid

Not every hybrid needs to be big. The 2020 845 Hybrid runs to 115cc, nearer an oversized iron head than a fairway wood, and that compactness is exactly why it comes through rough without twisting the face open. A 450 Carpenter Steel face sits at the front, thin and lively enough that strikes low on the face still carry a useful distance. The body is multi-material, weighted for stability on the mishits.

You pick between a 19 for the longest of these approach shots and a 21 that slots in where a 4 or 5 iron used to live. Both are light enough to swing smoothly, which is how these clubs work best anyway. Going the other direction, the 845 fairway wood is a 175cc head in 15 and 18 degree builds, better if most of these shots come off a tee. From a bad lie, take the hybrid.
