More tour pros playing hybrids
According to an April study by the Darrell Survey, a Los Angeles based company that tracks golf equipment usage, 31 percent of golfers have a hybrid club in their bag, compared with 7.5 percent in 2004. At the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February, 148 hybrid clubs were in use compared with zero in 1997. Todd Hamilton, Zach Johnson, Jim Furyk, Retief Goosen, Ernie Els, David Toms and Mike Weir are PGA Tour players who use hybrids. Champions Tour member Tom Watson used two, an 18- and 20-degree loft Idea hybrid from Adams Golf, during his victory at the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am in February at Lutz. Many Champions Tour players have at least one hybrid in their bag, and the clubs are gaining popularity on the LPGA Tour as well.

If you are not a big bomber off the tee, I would recommend you have one. It really helps specially your second shot. I use a 21 and a 25.
