Hybrid - Help fill the gap

[FairwaysToHeaven]

I am looking for a hybrid 18-19 as 2iron replacement. I currently have speedblades 4 iron which is already pretty long, but need something to fill the gap between my tm stage 2 3hl.

 

Because I'll only use the hybrid occasionally from the tee or into par 5 that are reachable, I don't need 2014 and their high prices. Wanting last years model or year before. I'm pretty high spin player with steep angle of attack the hits it low. Any suggestions for higher launch that limits spin. Also want more forgiveness and straight ball flight over workability. Prefer a shaft a little heavier than 56g that's in amp cell. One of the things holding me back on that club without reshafting

 

I've listed a few of my considerations, but any suggestions will be helpful. Probably buy used on eBay knowing that if it doesn't work out I can resell.

I'm not sure about spin but the Callaway Xhot hybrids from last year are my favorite hybrids I've played in a while since they launch so high and land soft with minimal roll.

I've been through a ton of hybrids lately (Ping g20, g25, Nike Covert, etc) and the Xhot by far launch the highest/longest.

Like I said I'm not sure how the spin numbers will work for you. I'm more of a try it and buy it type consumer; don't like hitting on the trackman.

Go with the stage 2 hybrid. I have one paired with a black tie and it's low spin (wind doesn't seem to affect it at all) and super easy to launch high. It's my go to club off the tee when I just want to find the fairway. I also prefer to hit the ball straight and find that it is actually a little difficult to work the ball, which is fine by me. It sounds like it hits all the points your looking for. Global golf has 15% off preowned clubs ending tonight and the stage 2 tp version has some great aftermarket shaft options.

The sldr tp is the only club that came close to booting the tm 2011 rescue from my bag. im not dropping 300$ to pick up 12 extra yards though. Tried covert, bio cell, and jetspeed. Didnt try xhot, but i did hit the x2 hot 2deep today and it was awesome - if the hybrids are as good it might be a contender - but alot of coin for 12 yards.

I've made some great shots with my Xhot 4 hybrid. Great feel and the ball jumps off the face nicely.

I added the TM Stage 2 and the Xhot. the two votes after updating went under Stage 2, but were originally 'other'.

Hope to get some more recommendations in the next day or two and then just buy something used and see how it treats me early season.

curious about the stage 2 and the rescue 11 differences. also, have heard good things about the baffler. wish i could test everything out, but don't have the access to all these, especially those couple years old. thats why i rely on wrx experience
