5 Wood vs Hywood 

One of my favorite channels on RU-vid

Love you channel. I am an ex mini tour pro and after breaking my neck in a car accident and neck fusion I hit it about as far as you do. fantastic content, I was thinking of a channel but you have it covered sir. I really like your swing and advice. There are lots of channels with guys with swing speeds 90% of golfers only can dream about. If you play the correct tees and play the way you do one can still break par. Keep up the great work. That is a very impressive show you put on the 4th hole, from that distance I think 99% of golfers would love to be you. I see some golfers on here say they hit it an average distance with their 280 yard drives. You sir are not a short hitter but very average for distance and a stud for accuracy

Enjoy your videos MSH! You keep it real and give hope to those of us that don’t swing too fast

Been looking for a comparison on these two. Many thanks

Hywood...The sound on a mishit is noticeably different than when you hit it flush. Just bought my son the 3+ hywood, and he loves it. Great video.

This wad super informative, thank you!

Great comparison - thanks for posting!

Just found your channel sir. Like your content I’m subscribed now👍🏾

I bought a Cleveland 18 deg Hywood a few weeks ago, it definitely goes further than my Titleist 5 wood - also 18 deg., plus easier to hit.

I play a Calloway super hybrid 3 I love it !

great video 📸

I’ve got the hywood and when I catch it I like it. I’m an extremely short hitter so I’m using this club a lot. I just need to learn how to hit it (and all of my clubs) better. I’m gonna play Sterling single length this year and see how that goes along with Cleveland launcher xl driver and Callaway steelhead X-ray 22deg hybrid. I may play every other iron to unbunch my gapping. Great things to think about at work haha!

Good review! Keep up the good work……

Have you ever tried the Callaway Heavenwood. Four wood length with a 7 wood loft. Love it. My club for 190 yards

I have no comments to offer on these clubs, but some of your vids have me thinking about replacing my 3-hybrid with something else for long range approaches...holy smokes, 7.5 balls on the green from 200! Nice swinging.

Great video. I did notice though that your chart show 5w and 3+Hywood both at 15 degrees of loft, while the Haywood is actually 18 degrees. Sure looks like a great easy to hit club though👍🏻

Great video. Especially with the camera on the green. I an definitely gonna try the 3 hy wood. Now i just gotta decide 7 wood vs 3 hy wood.

Thanks for posting an interesting video. Good to see it done from someone who’s not a pro. BTW, what’s your handicap?

This gives me something to think about.

I have both the Cleveland 5 wood and the hywood and the hywood is a more accurate club for me. I don't have 200 yard approach shots. This club is a narrow tee shot or my second shot on a part 5 (I don't get on in 2 on par 5s) and in both cases, accuracy is far more important than 5-10 yards. Also worth noting that this hywood is the Cleveland three hybrid head with a longer shaft. There is no lie difference between the two. Cleveland makes really good golf clubs.

Number 4 at Woodruff is a tough club choice when there are folks on the Number 5 tee box, even though there is a screen/net. Hitting a five wood puts the folks on the box in trouble on a miss hit. More controllable Haywood looks like a win!

It seems mentally and physically you like the Hywood better. I noticed you had the Hywood further up in your stance, try moving the ball back a few inches in your stance. If you are hitting down on it you may catch it flush and earlier in the circle/arc. This may give you a straighter ball flight.

I really like the way you balance your takeaway with your varied knee flex. You have to have been good at some other sport.

You Should Do A WITB.

Do you think the weight in the grip makes it easier to swing? Better turf interaction with the rails on the bottom?

dropped the 3 wood for 5 wood. The 5 is very easy for me to hit and about 20 yards longer than the hywood. My 7 wood is also longer than the hywood, so I play 5, 7 wood, 4 hybrid. works best for me. Know a couple guys who dropped all fairways and love the hywood.

MAybe you mentioned it but are you hitting the 40 gram stock shaft in this club or was there other options available.. I would need stiff flex and unsure about hitting a 40 gram shaft

Hey Mistah. We have similar distances with Orr clubs. My driver SS is roughly 92-95. Getting Hywood but can't decide on R or S flex. What are you using?

Just watched a video of the Average Golfer. He agrees with you that the Hywood is a fantastic club

Nice swing. What specific shaft did you hit in the hy wood? Thanks.

Based on your recommendation, I just ordered the Hywood and CG Halo 4 hybrid to see if they can replace my heavenwood and 7 wood

How did the Hywood compare with your 7 wood? Thank you for great videos!

Stock shaft in the hywood? Makes sense

I just messed with this yesterday at a 2nd hand trade-in place in my city... They only had one and it had a regular flex shaft, which isn't for me, as my club head speed when I was hitting practice shots in their sim with it was over 100... and yet I was still carrying this thing 230+ yards off the mat consistently. I suspect their sim is deliberately tweaked to exaggerate distances to sell clubs (i.e. by setting the elevation to mount Everest or something) but nonetheless, it's clearly outpacing my low irons by a significant enough margin to be worth putting in the bag. Ordered one in stiff flex, very excited about it.

The Cleveland Hy-wod is easier to hit. No comparison from the initial rough, much easier. I would never try a 5-wood from there, just not sure where it might go. However the initial shaft is 40+ grams and too light for me. So I ordered one with the 60+ gram hybrid shaft. Probably lost some launch and distance but it suits my swing and it bombs almost 200. Good enough. Pretty accurate off the tee. 200+ yard par 3 is a winner.

i just brought hy wood hope its good

Like I tell my Buddy when He’s in the Rough .It’s Called an Fairway Metal for an Reason !

What shaft flex do you have in your Hy-wood? Did you go with the cypher? Thanks

What I noticed when you changed to a face on view was your ball position was too far forward like a driver. It should be slightly forward of center where with the club right behind the ball the shaft is at dead center. You will hit the ball higher on the face and the ball will get more hight and distance.

not sure if it's fair to blame a 142 yd-ish shot solely on the club. everyone makes a bad swing once in a while, seems seems more likely the cause of that very short shot to the rough - not saying the 5 wood isn't harder to hit well, but I don't think that one shot is relevant.

No matter how good the Hywood is , many golfers will not use it because it isn’t a big 5 product!
