Hybrids have been around longer than most people realize. Back to the days of the Baffler vs. Ginty, and through today's` seemingly endless options when it comes to hybrids, golfers have benefited from the design and playability of the hybrid golf club.
Thomas Golf has embraced the concept of the hybrid as much as any manufacturer and the AT-705 hybrid irons are the result. Simply put, the hybrid combines the ease of swinging the iron with the performance of a fairway wood. The AT-705 is designed to enable you to hit this hybrid from any lie that you would an iron, and some lies that you would never even think of trying to hit an iron from, especially anything like a 4 or 5. The ability to move the CG (center of gravity) so much lower and further back compared to an iron is what makes the hybrid so easy to play.

If you want proof of both popularity and performance of the hybrid, look in the bags of today's` Tour players. A number of them have abandoned their 2 and 3 irons in favor of the more user friendly hybrid. If you want more proof, look in the bags of your buddies and you will find that a large number of them are playing hybrids and continually taking money out of your pocket.
The Thomas Golf AT-705 hybrid irons, if fitted and used properly will do two things. They will lower your frustration level from mishitting your long irons and, more importantly, lower your score.
