Hireko offers a number of hybrid clubs to replace the longer irons (#2 through 5) and even makes a complete set who struggle with conventional irons as in the Power Play Select 5000, Acer XDS and Avatar Launch Series models. When in doubt or whether or not you have confidence in a particular iron versus a hybrid, choose the hybrid to help improve your score.

Chipper
Another club that you may find helpful is the chipper. For those that struggle from just off of the green with a wedge get close to the hole or keep the ball on the green, the chipper may help reduce strokes. The chipper is basically a lofted putter (although a putter grip is not allowed) and utilizes the same stroke rather than one where you cock and un-cock your wrist with a longer swing arc of a wedge. More accomplished players will find ways of using different clubs to chip and run around the green. But for higher handicapped players or beginners, the chipper may make a welcome addition to the bag.
