Hybrid is the happy medium for me between a driving iron and 5wood. Hits the right height window and and goes the right distance as well is much more consistent than the other two options. First year having one in the bag and I love it. Use it all over the course and confident everytime it comes out of the bag.

I went to a 19 degree hybrid several years ago and was happy with the resluts. Have seen similar videos recently comparing the hybrid to the 5 wood and decided to put the 5 wood back in the bag. Pleased with the change. It feels easier to hit, especially when I need just a bit more distance. With the hybrid, when I try to jump on it a bit I tend to hook, not so with the 5 wood.

As always, great info and analysis. I actually have a 5 wood and a 3 hybrid in the bag and use them for different shots altogether. The 5 wood is for fairway shots and long par 3's. The 3 hybrid is for rough and shots that need to stay low with distance, like under tree branches and off the fairway from bad tee shots.

I recently got rid of my 3 and 4 hybrids. I replaced them with a 5 wood and a 7 wood. The main reason is because I would get an errant shot from my hybrids when I really wasn't expecting it. After getting the 5 and 7 woods those errant shots just don't happen. I did get the Callaway Flash 5 and 7 wood. And I did have Callaway Steelhead hybrids. The extra distance from the 5 and 7 wood is welcomed as well. Where I play there isn't a lot of thick ruff. A hybrid is better than other clubs out of thick ruff.

I’m just old enough to have played competitive golf before there were hybrids. I loved them at the time and have gone back to it from time to time ever since. That said, there is no question that from a standpoint of versatility and possibly even forgiveness, the hybrid is hard to beat! I’ve had at least one hybrid in my bag for years ....and at times more. Currently, I have one hybrid in my bag, a Titleist 818h2 in 19* which is sandwiched between my 3wd and my 4i T-MB. It would hard for me to give up the ability to muscle out a hybrid from deep rough or, for that matter, a bad lie for the sake of a 5wd. Great video James! Very informative. It’s nice to have my own prejudices confirmed from time to time! 😀😀

Great review James! Would have really enjoyed if you took those two out on the course and actually try them out of the rough. Anyways I agree that it‘s much easier to hit a Hybrid out of the rough. Glides much better. The thing is that the courses I play at the greens are in good shape, but really soft. Therefore it doesn’t really make a difference whether spin and descend angle is a little lower and flatter with the hybrid. I would think this is the case for most golf courses. The places the likes of Rory plays at, greens are just superfirm. That‘s why they play 5 woods to get that extra spin and higher apex. Also worth mentioning here is that pros that carry 5 woods often switch it in favor of a utility irons once they play links, softer greens or wind is a bigger factor. Most amateur golfers don‘t do that. Therefore I still believe to the very most golfers hybrids are by far the best fit. And while many argue that pros don‘t use hybrids I can only partially agree to that. If you look at the pros on Tours with lower club head speeds you will figure, that a lot of them are actually playing hybrids. Matt Kuchar, Webb Simpson to mention two of them. Only maybe 3-4% of male golfers have faster swing speeds compared to them. anyways. Can‘t be too wrong using hybrids then...

Great comparison. I think the only thing missing was comparing the descent angle. Tour pros use the 5 wood because the height and and descent allows them to access and hold areas of firm greens. Also, gapping has to come into play. sometimes the hybrid is just too low and doesn't spin enough and doesn't separate enough particularly if someone also uses a 4 hybrid. Would love to see you hit your longest iron and 3 wood first then fill in one of the two.

The 3H is my 3-wood replacement for second shots into par 5's, and although I sacrifice some distance, I'm usually in the fairway.

This is a question I've been asking myself lately. I play a 5-wood (~215 yd club), and I love it... but not out of the rough. My 4 iron is also not reliable from thick grass. So, if I mishit my tee shot on a long par 4 or par 5, I normally have to lay up w a 6 or 7 Iron. Not ideal. I may have to consider replacing the 4 iron (~205 yd club), with a Hybrid, but I don't think it'll replace the 5-wood.

Great Video, it's a question that i've struggled with for this last year. Started with a 3 wood, 17 & 22 deg hyb hitting them really well at the start of the season, then went for a lesson to improve my iron striking and after practising the new movements couldn't hit the hybrids at all. Therefore switched in a 5 wood which seemed to work but only for a couple of rounds. Now I cant hit that and have went back to the two hybrids. With this in mind I have kept all the clubs in the bag and before my rounds now I hit a few shots to see how i'm feeling and which set up to take for the course i'm playing. If its thick rough I use the two hybrids, if its thinnish rough and more links I use the 5 wood as I can use it of the tees on the shorter par 4 to get a lot more roll than my hybrid as I hit a lower ball flight with the wood.

In a nutshell, fairway woods off the fairway & hybrids out of the rough.

Great job James..I personal like the hybrid over the 5 wood.. What I like to see is hybrid vs the new driving iron.(close to the hybrid look but more like a iron..new from Taylor made ..so sweet

Hey James, I came upon the video on fairway vs hybrid. Also a much younger and a bit leaner Mr Robinson. This would be a good topic with the current clubs like Callaway Rouge, Taylormade Stealth, or even the Cobra Radspeed or LTDx.

I’m at the age where I used a 5-wood for a long time until Taylormade came out with the Rescue club and BOOM the hybrid world exploded. I’ve used nothing but hybrids since. I did dabble with the Callaway 7-wood for a while but I went back to my trusty 19 degree 21 year old TM blue and silver rescue club. It’s my money club.

I've switched to cobra f6 baffler set at 17.5 degrees and the thing is so versatile ! I can choke down on it out of bad lies or i can hit it 225 yds off the tee on short par 4's or 2nd shots on par 5's. Hybrids are hook city or me!

I have the Callaway Epic collection the 3 and 5 wood I also just recently purchased the 5 hybrid I enjoy hitting the hybrid more than the wood for sure honestly I can’t get rid of my 3 wood but I can do without the 5 wood now. The club has an extra gear it just fly’s off the club. Nice review

My hybrid is lofted a little higher to put it between a 4 &5 iron. I found it easier to hit than the 4 iron so it replaced that. The 3 & 5 wood are still in the bag...but I honestly barely use the 5 wood.

I must be old school I have the matching Epic flash Driver, 3 wood and 5 wood. I love them personally my 3 wood is my go to if I’m struggling with the driver. I’m interested to possibly adding a hybrid instead of my long iron.

Good video James I used to use a rescue but struggled out the rough so I now use a ping 400 crossover 3iron which I hit a lot better out of rough and fairway still struggle to hit it off a tee strangely enough

Great video james as always. This is something I've been toying with myself lately as driver and me have stopped working. Been trying all sorts in the top end of the bag to help solve this. And really enjoyed the video when you ramped up the 5 wood

I just bought a used Ping K15 5 wood with regular shaft. I found that I can hit is about 220-230 max, but I can hit it as high as a dang pitching wedge, even off the turf. Still getting used to it, but I'm hitting a high draw, so I like that. I've been struggling with the driver lately, so tomorrow, I'm leaving it home. Hopefully I'll hit a few more fairways and have more fun. I never was able to hit a 3 wood, but I might have to find a good modern used one. LOL

I have both a 5 & 7 woods in the bag, 3 wood stays home. When I started golfing fairway woods were no bigger than hybrids now days. I have played with Thomas Golf at725 hybrid set 24-50 degrees for many years. For some reason this year after coming across a never been hit set of 2008 Cobra S9 irons 6-gw and Cobra DWS 3,4,5 hybrids they have gone into the bag. Something about them I can hit higher, straighter and farther than any of the new clubs on the market.

I currently only have a hybrid between my irons and driver. A lot of that is because I don't have a good set of woods. But ideally I would like to have both of them. The 5 wood would have better distance but the hybrid has better dispersion

Great videos! I'm a new subscriber and have been binging a whole lot of content lately. I've been completely rebuilding my entire bag and your reviews have been amazing help. I would love to see a video of you breaking down your own swing. From address to follow through. It's clear you have a great swing but there are a few things you do that I'd love to know more about. For example the angle of your back swing.. Or how your wrists move forward a bit before your back swing on chip shots. I'm just a person that finds it interesting how and why a person developed the swing that they have. Because let's face it, many swings are similar but none are exactly the same. Anyway great job and keep knocking out the quality content.

Great video again James and enjoyed the head to head, I’m trying a driving iron on Tuesday but I won’t rule out the hybrid, I’ve struggled with hybrids in the past but that is probably because I have never been fitted for one. I’m looking forward to seeing what I end up with

I personally carry a Taylormade M3 5 wood, and a Taylormade GAPR LO 2 iron. Not really how I was planning to set-up my bag, but that is just how the gapping worked out.

I recently went back to Callaway Xhot hybrids after trying the latest greatest - that 4 hybrid Xhot became one of the best clubs in my bag (including a hole out from 185) and I consistently hit it well. I have the 3h and 5h, also, which are also excellent, but I had that 4h specially shafted, while the other 2 have manufacturer shafts. Instead of buying a new hybrid, I'm going to sell my most recent hybrids and buy new shafts for the 3h and 5h Xhots. It's crazy, right? But these clubs inspire confidence. The ball flies off the face (imo), the ball flight is great, and I can work the ball both ways.

I carry both, 5W lofted at 17 degrees (so a 4W) and a 3H at 19 degree. A 4W or at least a wood lofted at 16.5-17.5 degrees is a great compromise - solid off the tee, consistently 225-230 yards and a nicely high launching, soft landing 220 yards off the fairway. My 3H is a little shorter: 220 yards off tee is my maximum ball flight is lower and more penetrating. I have dropped the 3W from the bag as a consequence
