Most golfers struggle with their long irons for a couple of possible reasons.  The long irons have a relatively small sweetspot compared to other irons, and even more importantly MANY golfers don't generate enough clubhead speed to to get an adequate "launch angle" for the longer irons.  Many golfers hit their 3, 4 and 5 irons pretty much the same distance for this reason.

There are a couple of solutions to handle the distances needed to replace these long irons.

One option of course are fairway woods.  Pretty much a 5 wood translates to the 3 iron; 7 wood to the 4 iron; 9 wood to 5 iron; 11 wood to 6 iron, etc.

A second option becoming very popular are the new hybrid iron/woods.

Some look like a combination iron/wood, and some look more like a wood.  Typically they take a shorter iron shaft for more control.  They have a much bigger sweetspot than the long irons, and are MUCH easier to hit.  Check out the following:

The new "V" Series iron/wood hybrid is more forgiving than traditional long irons. It is designed for long, accurate shots from the rough or fairway (depending on the loft you choose).  Much easier to hit than the comparable long irons.  Deep face with offset design and low center of gravity.

They have the appearance of an easy to hit fairway wood, but have the heavier weight of an iron. (For example, a 7 wood head weighs @ 228 grams; and the corresponding 4 iron head, and in this case the V series hybrid 22 degree head weighs @ 248 grams.)

This model available right handed only, in 15 degree (2 iron); 18 degree (3 iron);  22 degree (4 iron);  26 degree (5 iron);  and 30 degree (6 iron). 

Individual prices are $49 each with steel shaft, and $59 each in graphite.  Available in all flexes (ladies, senior, regular, firm and stiff). 

Price for a set of three:  $120 steel shafts, or $150 graphite.

Hybrid Model #2

 

 

These hybrid/utility clubs are available in a 3 iron; 4 iron; 5 iron, 6; and 7.  Available in ladies right handed.

Price:  $49 each with steel shaft, or $59 in graphite.  Price for a set of three:  $120 steel shaft, or $150 graphite.  Price for 4 = $195; and for all 5 = $235.  (Check out the "Game Improvement Set" in that category.)

 

For example, if you are ordering a set of the steel shafted Turbo Plus 3 irons and would like to replace the 3 and 4 irons with the corresponding hybrids, you would take the $159 price for the irons, and add $40.  (If graphite shafted Turbo Plus 3 irons, the price would be the $239 plus the $40.)  If you wanted only one hybrid to replace the 3 iron, you would add $20 to the price of the irons.  Replacing 3 clubs would off course add $60.
