Some people ask, 5 wood or hybrid for high handicapper? Well that depends on what you can hit. You have to try a few out. I would almost always say 5 wood but sometimes you may have a need to straighten up a big left to right ball flight and the wood may make it bigger.
5 fairway wood vs 3 hybrid actually is a very small difference. The extra length on the shaft makes a huge difference as it can be 2-4 inches in length.
Which do you feel happiest with? A fairway wood or a hybrid? It's a personal choice and there is no wrong answer.
5 wood distance is slightly longer than the 3 hybrid. I hit a 5 wood about 250 and the 3 hybrid will never get much longer than 235. I don't play hybrids because I pull them left whereas BDog and JMac like them.

Hybrid off the tee is the secret sauce when the driver is acting the fool and needs a time out. First time I broke 100 was all 3H from the tee box.

Agreed! Hybrid is straightest club in my bag

@T.Hizzle 9 месяцев назад

I only tee a driver or a 3w, everything else is off the deck. once I made this change, and quit playing like tin cup, I broke 85.

@allaboutthegyro 2 года назад

For me, it's the hybrid, because I am finding it easier to get the ball airborne off of the tight lies I play off of here in middle Tennessee. The turf is soft enough to want to take a divot. However, on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Alabama, I definitely needed a 5 wood, because of the turf being very firm.

@richardlowe8062 2 года назад

I bought my first 5 wood this year. My favorite club now. I hit it farther then my 3 wood. Goes about 30 yards farther then my 3 hybrid.

@pbode1 7 месяцев назад

A frozen shoulder made me switch from 5-iron to 5-hybrid (already had a 3-hybrid) and not only was it easier to hit, it turned out to be sitting better in the gap between 6-iron and 3-hybrid. Never bought into woods as the big profile historically scared me hitting off the grass. Maybe I should try again now that I've taken some swing lessons. I am just not convinced on the distance gain over my 3 hybrid will be massive with my lowish side of the average swing speed.

@supercooloz13 2 года назад

5 wood for me, don’t like the offset on most hybrids I have a right to left ball flight so I tend to get to hooky with the hybrids

@golfsidekickextras 2 года назад

@amarcynuk8 6 месяцев назад

Picked up a 5 hybrid today on Facebook marketplace just to see how it feels. Oh. My. God. What a club. I never realized how much I needed a hybrid in the bag. I've never felt this accurate and this confident with a club that carries over 210. Massive difference maker.

@alisonburgess345 2 года назад

I'm struggling with my hybrid. it's just a strange club to me - shaft length of an iron, head of a wood.. I'm getting a new 3 wood for sure..

@TheAboriginal1 2 года назад

Took me a while to get used to hitting a hybrid. You just have to treat approach, ball position, and swing the way you would a long iron and not a Wood. I hit my hybrid with the same swing pattern as my 4 or 5 iron and it does the trick

I love how simple and easy you break it down. I’m still fairly new despite playing a ton of golf so learning these things is key for me. Great video

@MM-zb9kc 2 года назад

For me it depends on the course. Both are great and easy to hit off the tee. If the greens are rock hard, I’ll go with the 5 wood as I can hit it higher and land softer. If it’s windy, I’ll take the hybrid as it’s easier to hit lower.

@Jack-xy4fy 2 года назад

Depends if the course is slopey or flat. I love the 5 wood, but I can't use it on the fairway at my local because it's so hilly, the long shaft makes it difficult to swing on a slope.

@IronDrummer91 2 года назад

5W and 4H seems to work best for me off the turf. 3 wood is a driving iron replacement for when it's too windy for a 5 wood.

I had a fitting looking for a 5W and I ended up with a 3H (superhybrid). Distance was ~5yard less with the 3H but dispersion was WAY tighter.

@creamabdul-jabbar6722 2 года назад

I usually carry both. The 5-6 wood that I have is a good consistent 210 usually natural draw to it off of the tee when driver isn’t working out. But the opposite with the hybrid it’s usually a use it on the fairway type of deal and I usually produce a natural fade with it. Don’t carry a 3 wood no need really, the par 5s I can’t reach in 2 only done it once in the 3 years I been playing and that was done with a driver and 5-6 wood. I think I could do it but I’m more conservative on par 5s too much trouble in play at the course.

@Jack-xy4fy 2 года назад

Depends if the course is slopey or flat. I love the 5 wood, but I can't use it on the fairway at my local because it's so hilly, the long shaft makes it difficult to swing on a slope. There are plenty of alternatives though for that problem. One length hybrids - shorter shaft makes them easier to hit on a slope and the big heavy head gives you the distance of a wood (or close to) Clevelands new Hy-Wood, again a shorter shaft and big head.

@golfsidekickextras 2 года назад

@Roy19861 3 месяца назад

I pull hybrids always a bit to the left while woods go strait. I use both a 5wood and a 4h.

@zooride1658 Год назад

I have both. Hybrid is for tricky shots and always treats me right off the tee for distance. 5 wood I’m still getting used to, but my plan is for it to be my green chaser and for getting over obstacles in tricky shots, plus is forgiving off the fairway . Plus my 3 H rolls for miles since it’s a 17degree loft

@Iversonwings1 2 года назад

I'm still relatively new at golf, so 3 and 4 hybrid for me. I just couldn't hit the 5 wood that well.

Why can’t we put our hybrid shaft on the 3 wood and adjust the lie to account for the shorter length. I gotta think that would feel great to use

@kwaste 15 дней назад

I dumped my 3 wood about a year ago. I use my 5 wood and 3 hybrid. My 5 wood goes around 210. Yds. with a lower piercing trajectory for running up fairways. My 3 hybrid goes around 195 to 200 yds. A bit more accurate and a higher trajectory to attack greens with more stopping power than the 5 wood. Each has a job to do

I carry both but no 3 wood. I found I hit the 5 wood as far as the 3 wood but need the 3 hybrid for those times when I want to keep the ball low. I’m an old guy with a low swing speed that likes help launching the ball high.

Course conditions are a factor but the main reason to change is a slower swing speed - loss of distance / decreased gap between clubs.

@erichansen3641 Год назад

Whether to carry a 5 wood or 3 hybrid has nothing to do with handicap. I am a near scratch golfer (-3 under 33 to +3 over 39 on nine holes, par 36 at 3000 yards tees). I carry only a 9 iron, 4 wedges, 2 putters, and a 9 degree driver in my bag. The remaining 14 clubs are hybrids anywhere from 36 degrees (8 hybrid) loft to 21 degrees (3 hybrid) loft.

@doggymeat9170 11 месяцев назад

I have both but prefer the control of the 3H although my 5 wood is roughly 10-15 yards farther. If i play a course with wide fairways and minimal penalties on either side, i go with my 5 wood. On my home course where precision is a premium with lots of hazards and OBs left and right, my 3H is my go to fairway finder
