Had a fitting last week. Gave up golf 2 yrs ago because i couldn’t hit an iron. The difference using hybrids was amazing. I’m 66 and 19 handicap and clubs are ideally suited to my ability level. Cant wait for the clubs to arrive and start playing again.
@@garymartingolf- went to Hereford for a fitting of Eleven clubs last week. Getting driver, Hybrids 5 to PW, 50 and 58 degree wedges and their new putter. Just had email they’re on the way to me. Service was superb.
Got to admit you both came over as total golf snobs I've been using these for 6 months and I've gone from 18 handicapper to 12 I'm 67 years of age and playing the best golf I've ever
I have the Eleven Driver 10/10 performance I didnt get fitted but self tuning seems to fine now. Broke 79 1st 18 hole round so very pleased. I play of 6 Handicap and took my 6 iron(27 deg) out for a ladies 6 hybrid head (27deg) and put a Stiff flex shaft into it. Now I have 165-175 yards stock shot. PW-7i irons 6,5 Hyb, 7W , Driver Higher number hybrids are a no brainer and not new, my daughter uses Adams Idea Hybrid irons they are 2010 era SW-7 iron Recently for £50! spotless condition.
I’m now 73 12.7 handicap and have switched to hybrid irons and I’m getting 20 yds.further with the hybrids. Don’t let your ego get in your way from you playing way better golf than with irons.
I love my hybrid, and definitely think I'd add another to the bag with a little less loft, but I could not cope with so many headcovers in the bag. I struggle to find the club I want to select now with just a Driver 5 Wood, and HB in the bag...😆 If you fancy doing a video with some very bladey Slazenger prototypes from the 70's Gaz, let me know - they're sat in the garage - and probably the exact opposite of these clubs in terms of forgiveness etc.
I think that for anyone who has no interest in becoming a professional and just want to enjoy the game because as we know the duff shots spoil it for us it's a no brainer......after all it's only a game so why not make it as easy as possible 🌟🤩🥳🎊
You’re right, and I think anyone starting golf for the first time would 100% hit and play these better than irons. Infact next time I get a brand new golfer, I’m going to do a 10 shot head to head 😃
Was it Slazenger who first introduced these type of irons called "Big Eezies?" See so many people particularly seniors struggling with really old butter knifes (usually with original grips lol) If you need the help grab it with both hands
At 11:50 you both hit it left but I think your alignment was left. Before you hit it I said to myself this is going left. Plus the draw setting clubs interesting I find hybrids harder to hit in shorter clubs but fine for 5 iron and above.
You’re not wrong. We both aspire to fade ball, so our start line wasn’t too bad, with just pulled it instead of fading. These clubs definitely have a lot of offset and the softer shaft got us drawing them if anything. I know what you mean, I think because we’re used to irons, lower than 5 is abit of unknown territory.
@@garymartingolf that makes sense. I often think the camera doesn’t show the correct positions but I thought on this one your alignment was definitely left. Great video though Gary.
These clubs are onset not offset so they are not like most hybrids. My ex pro pal, still off of 4 uses them, second in the club championship, raised a few eyebrows
I play rogue st os hybrids 3-8 and an eleven 9 & pitch hybrid. Thinking about changing to all eleven hybrids but have found you can manipulate the 9 & pw especially in wind i am a single figure handicap and think this is the best thing since sliced bread everyone should at least give them a go
I didn’t know rogue st hybrids went to 8. Tbf, it sounds like you already have a nice set. You can buy the eleven separate can’t you, so I guess you could put 8 head to head before buying the lot.
@@garymartingolf the 9 and pw for me flying machines I think there is a cross over in distance I think the 9 in eleven hybrid is very close in distance to 8 hybrid. Shafts in the eleven I would say are a little more stable for me. I think everyone should try hybrids as a set. I was playing off 4 but totally snapped my Achilles and struggled coming back hcp gone up to 10 but mainly to feeling tired after 13 holes i went back to irons and felt I could not get through a shot as well as I can with a hybrid
@@zazhou I love my rogue 8 but I would love to test a full set of eleven to compare. They both I think are as good as each other, from a value for money point I think eleven wins hands down
Hi Gary you have confused me now in you reply to me you told me to play the eleven hybrid from my left heel to middle just watch this video you are playing them off the middle to back which one is it please help me
@@garymartingolf hi Gary thank you for you reply I have the eleven in 3-4-5-6-7-8- hybrids also a cobra 5 wood I think at 77 years old I getting a bit fore get full I cannot hit iron clubs after having two strokes my left side not as strong as my right please help me with the feet placement for each club keep up with the great videos
What’s the difference between these and Wazaki, or Forgan or Lazrus or Cleveland or Wilson sets? Quality, price, performance? Is it the hybrid theory itself or is it the brand of the club? Please review. Thank you.
I think it’s just personal preference, the Clevelands get good reviews too - I use Wilson launch pad irons down to a 5 then I switch to Eleven 3 & 4 hybrids instead of low irons 👍🏻
I have 6-9 in these. I have a complete mental block with irons. Better with these, but old faults still there. They help, but like any club, they won't cure everything.
I’ve got Adams 4,5,6 hybrids and have just got a 9 from eleven, senior shaft, good but at sometime I hit erratically. Will still use my 9 iron around the green for a chip and run!
I too got the Lazarus set. I pair them w my big head driver in place of their 1 and my sand wedge. I think next year I’ll probably incorporate a few more true irons and do away with a few of them.
On the other hand I think you guys are playing the wrong shaft a 70gr R!!! that according to the Elleven website is for a swing speed (6 iron) of 70-75mph. Too light and soft for you guys. To do a more reliable test you should have played at least the 80gr S.
I don't see why a low handicap can't play with these clubs. What handicap is FRED COUPLES? +5? Does he have a slow swing speed? He currently averages 280-290 yards with the driver...! Well, his longest iron in the bag is currently the SEVEN! Let everyone draw their own conclusions, but they seem to be clear,
I don’t think the back to front distance dispersion would be tight enough for a low handicap in my opinion, however, this is only my opinion, you’re welcome to make your own conclusions.
I was always taught to tee up if you can, but now I’m not sure! Technology proves that’s irons struck off a tee and off the floor fly different distances, but we all play to the distance we hit our clubs off the floor, so like I said, I may end up trialing hitting off the floor for all shots apart from woods.

@@richardvaughan6184 We’re golf snobs, the biggest critics on UA-cam! Well done that’s great👌🏼 Our high handicap loved them ⛳️
@@richardvaughan6184 - hope my game improves that much Richard . New Eleven clubs due Monday.
Fantastic review by yourself and Sam Gaz, very enjoyable and informative
Thanks TT, hopefully it’ll be a few years before we all need a set of these 😃

Sounds like a well thought out bag 💪🏼
Those Adams hybrid designs was why Taylormade bought out Adams golf
Well done gaz 😊forgiving clubs makes golf easier 👏 😊
@@royclose946 thanks Roy
I’m now 73 12.7 handicap and have switched to hybrid irons and I’m getting 20 yds.further with the hybrids.
Don’t let your ego get in your way from you playing way better golf than with irons.
It’s great when better players are willing to test out hybrid irons and actually play with them on the course. Very entertaining.
Thank you, appreciated. We have tested them with a high handicapper aswell, so they’ve had the full test lol 😂
Love the channel
Thank you ⛳️

@@mart0o7 very true lol
Seniors would really benefit 🙌🏽
Ive not heard one bad word about Eleven clubs, "some not for me" comments but the overall reviews are always positive.
Here’s some data for you… my buddy went from a 15 hc to 6 in six weeks with these clubs. I personally witnessed it and am now buying the clubs….
That’s great data!
@@garymartingolf just bought the 5-pw a few weeks ago. Shot 82-82 in first two rounds, normally 87-92. Clubs just go straight no matter what.
At 11:50 you both hit it left but I think your alignment was left. Before you hit it I said to myself this is going left.

I have the Eleven 3 & 4 hybrids instead of my 3/4 irons - I hit these lower loft Elevens far better than I ever hit low irons 👍🏻
They’re rockets aren’t they 😅
Are you going to reshaft them to suit? You might even beat Robinson 😂
Haha, lol 😂
So in your opinions these are good quality clubs just a question of whether thryre right for the person using them
Yeah. In my opinion, they’d suit someone with a smother swings, someone who needs help with distance and launch.
For the right player these could be deadly, not sure I would want to give up my irons and wedges though.
I play rogue st os hybrids 3-8 and an eleven 9 & pitch hybrid. Thinking about changing to all eleven hybrids but have found you can manipulate the 9 & pw especially in wind i am a single figure handicap and think this is the best thing since sliced bread everyone should at least give them a go

@@dunbet if you had to choose between Rogue ST Max OS 8 hybrid and Eleven 8 hybrid, which one would you choose?
@@zazhou I love my rogue 8 but I would love to test a full set of eleven to compare. They both I think are as good as each other, from a value for money point I think eleven wins hands down
@@dunbet thanks for the good feedback
174 - heavenwood for me,
If either of you pair are scratch players John Daly is an olympic gymnast and I'm the arch bishop of Canterbury.
😂think same thing
Hi Gary you have confused me now in you reply to me you told me to play the eleven hybrid from my left heel to middle just watch this video you are playing them off the middle to back which one is it please help me
I can’t ever remember this conversation?
I would have recommend a 2,3,4 hybrid from inside left heel, but not a 5-PW.
Unless you was topping it?
@@garymartingolf hi Gary thank you for you reply I have the eleven in 3-4-5-6-7-8- hybrids also a cobra 5 wood I think at 77 years old I getting a bit fore get full I cannot hit iron clubs after having two strokes my left side not as strong as my right please help me with the feet placement for each club keep up with the great videos
would you say these are draw biased? For context I play off 8 and left is my miss. Looking for 5/6 iron replacement rather than a full set.
What’s the difference between these and Wazaki, or Forgan or Lazrus or Cleveland or Wilson sets?
Quality, price, performance?
Is it the hybrid theory itself or is it the brand of the club?
Please review.

We said, we’d probably go to 8 or 9 iron as you can buy them individual
9 iron is 125 ish for me!
Use a tee on the tee box. Always. Why leave it to chance? I mean, it worked for a guy named Jack ....
I’ve got Adams 4,5,6 hybrids and have just got a 9 from eleven, senior shaft, good but at sometime I hit erratically. Will still use my 9 iron around the green for a chip and run!
I use the Lazrus hybrids and I love them… are these easier to hit than those?
I couldn’t possibly comment as I’d Kent to put them head to head to give you a honest answer. You’re not local are you ?
No sir, Oklahoma, USA
I too got the Lazarus set. I pair them w my big head driver in place of their 1 and my sand wedge.
I think next year I’ll probably incorporate a few more true irons and do away with a few of them.
Data in the title and very little in the way of data in the video...
Try Club Champion Golf for videos with lots data. We have a different audience. Cheers
