    I’m currently a 25+ handicap and I’m getting on really well with my higher irons but struggle when I use a 4 iron or less with distance and consistency.

    I’ve seen a lot of people online recommending using hybrids or woods but I don’t know which would be better.

    Should I invest in a wood or hybrid for my bag, or just keep going with my low irons until they are more consistent?

    Any recommendations of some forgiving clubs would also be great: currently using Tour Edge Comp LX Irons: a COBRA ZL driver & Ram wedges. I sometimes use an old TM burner 7 wood with the bubble shaft.

    Assuming you are struggling with the 4 iron from the fairway/rough I would probably say look into getting fitted for a hybrid as they are normally a bit easier to hit than a wood. I would not know which are more forgiving but an experienced fitter will be able to guide you in the right direction based on your swing mechanics.

    The problem with 'keeping going' with your long irons is there will be no timeframe for how quickly you will improve. If its costing you shots and you aren't comfortable hitting them then they will have a negative affect on your game. Best to get equipment you can trust and play your best with on course. You can always practice with the 4 iron on the range and get it to a point where you feel better with it then maybe put it back in the bag.
