Best hybrids for shot correction | ClubTest 2025

Most golfers this side of Collin Morikawa struggle with their accuracy into greens, which is why hybrids designed for shot correction can be such a boon. If you’re a right-handed golfer who needs a little help moving the ball right to left from long distances, you’d be wise to pick up a draw-biased hybrid, if not a hybrid that can be adjusted to produce a right-to-left ball flight. Conversely, if you fight a hook, a fade-biased hybrid can help you more easily work the ball left to right.

Golf-club manufacturers have perfected the art of shot correction though all kinds of high-tech design, including movable weights that, depending upon where they are positioned, can help golfers close or open the clubface at impact to neutralize swing flaws.

More upright lie angles in hybrids can also help ward off a slice, as can slightly shut club faces. Or vice versa for players who fight a hook. If you have a need, there’s a hybrid out there for you.

Below, you’ll find four hybrids that performed particularly well at shot correction in our 2025 ClubTest.

Callaway Elyte X Custom Hybrid

Semi-Draw Flight & Maximum Forgiveness The Elyte X model is best suited for golfers looking for a semi-draw flight in an oversized profile. This model features a taller face for more forgiveness and pairs perfectly with the Elyte X irons.

In addition to the hosel adjustability, the Elyte hybrid features heel and toe weights that can be swapped to toggle between a neutral and draw ball flight.   Ai Advancements for Optimal Distance, Control, and Launch Our most advanced Ai face to date, the new Ai10x Face delivers 10x more control points than the Ai Smart Face.

Mizuno JPX 925 Fli-Hi

Mizuno JPX 925 Fli-Hi hybrid

The JPX925 Fli-Hi is the perfect addition to the top end of any set for the player looking to maximize height and control in stronger lofts. By replacing your longest irons with these wood type designs, a player can gain more practical distance gaps at the longer end of the set.

$150 from mizunogolf.com

THE BASICS: This hybrid is a bona fide long-iron replacement, designed to bridge the gap between fairway woods and irons. Lower-lofted models are wider in shape, gradually increasing to more compact profiles in the higher-lofted models. The club doesn’t offer adjustability, but the hosel can be bent by a clubfitter for a more custom fit. “Mizuno knows what a player likes,” one of our testers said. “The new Fli-Hi looks great and feels even better. If I am adding new hybrids to the bag, these are a home run.”
