I replaced all my Fairway woods with Hybrids. , I find for me, they are easier to hit due to length of fairway vs hybrids.
I might sacrifice a little distance but hybrids give me more control.
I bought into the ProGolf franchise in 1981: owned 2 retail locations in Michigan and 1 in Virginia. I was dual branded with Golf Headquarters.. Somewhat retired in 2016. Now have the time to play.
