LQCD supports the idea of flux tubes. Flux distribution between static quarks. Flux tubes lead to a linear confining potential.
Exotic Hybrid Mesons Masses With 3 light quarks the conventional and hybrid mesons form flavor nonets for each J PC.
Photons may be more suited to excite exotics In the flux tube model, using photon beams, the production rate of hybrid mesons is not suppressed compared to conventional mesons. N. Isgur, PRD (1999); A. Afanasev & A. Szczepaniak, PRD (2000); F. Close & J. Dudek (2004)

2007 NSAC Long Range Plan (4 recommendations) We recommend the completion of the 12 GeV Upgrade at Jefferson Lab. - It will enable three-dimensional imaging of the nucleon, revealing hidden aspects of its internal dynamics. -It will complete our understanding of the transition between the hadronic and quark/gluon descriptions of nuclei. -It will test definitively the existence of exotic hadrons, long- predicted by QCD as arising from quark confinement. -It will provide low-energy probes of physics beyond the Standard Model complementing anticipated measurements at the highest accessible energy scales.
