Cleveland Halo 19* 2i

Summary:
This is my 1st review on this site. I bought the club after reading a few reviews and have to say I am 100% behind this club. I find it easy to hit from the fairway, rough and tee. It gives a penetrating yet workable flight.

Cleveland Halo 22* 3-iron Hybrid w/ Steel Shaft (Stiff)

Summary:
I like this club better than other hybrids for a few reasons. The price is amazing for such a great club. You can get it for 50-80 bucks on ebay depending what shaft you want. Also, I really like the scooped crown. It makes the club look like it really tucks under the balls, which promotes confidence for me that I'll smoosh the ball rather than scoop it. I've hit the HiBore hybrids, and I hated them. I found the Halo much easier to hit and to control the ball with. I hit a nice fade with this club, which lands the balls soft and stops it well on the greens. I can hit a draw with it as well off the tee for some extra distance in the fairway, but it's a little harder to turn the club head over, but still way easier than trying to hit a draw with a 3-iron. I think I just need some more practice with it. I have a steel shaft in it because i think it's easier to control trajectory and just makes me shots WAY more consistent. I hit the ball 210 with a fade, and slightly further with a draw. It's an older club, but I still think it's better than most of the new Hybrids out there. The only other hybrid I was considering was the Cobra Baffler Pro.

Summary:
Clubs I use: Halo 19(2i) and 22(3i)

Swing speed: 100-105 mph
My natural shot shape: Draw
Normal trajectory: High

I've read the reviews posted here, and I agree. However, let it be said, there are drawbacks to using hybrids in general. Personally, I like to hit what people call "golf shots."-- I just like watching the ball curve in the air. The Cleveland Halo allows me to do all this with one exception: hitting it low. Be ready to sacrifice that low stinger. But really, how often do you hit this shot? I've heard you can lower the ball flight (a little) by using steel shafts. If anyone has any other tips, please share.
Medium and high trajectory draws and fades are incredibly easy with these clubs. They listen. I attribute this versatility to their neutral set up.
I tested many other hybrids before choosing the Halo. In these tests, I realized there weren't many which had truly neutral features. In some cases there were offsets. Other times the body of the hybrid was not perpendicularly symmetrical to the target line (I don't like toe-biased bulges in the head). I fell in love with these because they allowed me to hit my natural shot easier, higher and more consistently. Even better: THEY"RE CHEAP!. In my opinion, if you're looking for a club to "fix" your shot shape, there are better choices out there. FYI: if I wasn't using these, I'd be looking at the new Ping G10s.
Please don't take my word for it. Go try lots of hybrids. Age old advice I know, but there is NO review that can substitute personal preferences and feel. That said, if you keep the same opinions as me, I hope you've found this helpful.
