Driving Iron Vs Hybrid

Should a mid handicap golfer use a hybrid or a long iron.
Driving iron vs hybrid. Pros and cons in action this test delivers interesting and sometimes surprising results in many respects. As with the hybrid the shaft was the stock stiff version but it is graphite so is lighter than the stiff steel shaft in the long iron. I d prefer to do the same but hybrids do seem easier to hit. Speed is a requirement for the utility irons in our testing but so is skill level says mark vallier of mk golf technologies a golf digest 100 best clubfitter in texas.
It seems like tour guys tend to use driving irons more than hybrids. We started the test because it is a decision in the equipment of a handicap 4 player who has worked with an iron 4 a 19 hybrid and a 15 3 wood so far.
