Zeebedy 41 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hey guys, I currently have my 10.5 driver + 3 wood + #4 hybrid. Now do I keep that setup and add a #3 hybrid, or, get a 5 wood and remove the hybrids? any response quickly would be much appreciated so I. An pull the trigger ordering either way. oh, and my irons (when they arrive) are 5-PW Quote DRIVER: Taylormade RBZ Tour 9 degree 3W: Taylormade RBZ reg. 5W: Taylormade RBZ reg. 4 Hybrid: Taylormade RBZ reg.

MadMex 331 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I keep both, I have a 5 wood AND a #3 Hybrid, I change depending on weather and course. And have actually made up my mind depending how am hitting them on the range while warming up!! 1 Quote DRIVER: Cobra F-8 set at 10.5, Aldila NV 2KXV Blue 60 (R) 44 1/2 " 3 & 5 WOOD: Callaway XR-16, Fujikura Speeder Evolution 565 Red (R) IRONS 5-SW: PING G-700, 2 upright, std loft Alta CB (R) + 1/2" HYBRID 3-4: PING G-410, 1 upright, Alta CB 70 Red (R) + 1/2" PUTTER: Byron Experimental GSS Link to post Share on other sites

Hadi05 20 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Even though they are similar in distance for me their apex is different and I can shape them differently. It really does come down to the course and how im hitting each of them on the range. THANKS !!!!

Sent from my SM-G960U using MyGolfSpy mobile app Maybe it’s the shaft but, I hit my 5 wood longer and lower (Callaway XR16, with Fujikura Speeder Evolution 565 Red standard length) My Hybrid is a PING G-410 with the standard Alta CB shaft + 1/2 inch, I hit it higher but about 5-10 yards shorter Quote DRIVER: Cobra F-8 set at 10.5, Aldila NV 2KXV Blue 60 (R) 44 1/2 " 3 & 5 WOOD: Callaway XR-16, Fujikura Speeder Evolution 565 Red (R) IRONS 5-SW: PING G-700, 2 upright, std loft Alta CB (R) + 1/2" HYBRID 3-4: PING G-410, 1 upright, Alta CB 70 Red (R) + 1/2" PUTTER: Byron Experimental GSS Link to post Share on other sites

ballplayer002003 1,108 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I just recently put a 5 wood in the bag this year and absolutely LOVE it! It's very easy to hit and the ball flight is exactly what I have been looking for. I put my 3 hybrid in the garage. 3 Quote Driver: Epic Flash Sub Zero Hzdrs Smoke x flex 70g 3 Wood: 917 w/ Diamana Whiteboard stiff 5 Wood : Epic Flash 18* Hzdrs Smoke stiff 4 Hybrid: Apex w/Kuro Kage stiff Irons: 5-7 Apex forged 19 w/ Modus 120 X 9-A Apex Pro 19 w/ Modus 120 X Wedges: MD5 52&56 Jaws Dynamic Gold wedge flex Putter: Scotty Cameron Del Mar 34" Link to post Share on other sites

I go driver - 4w - Hwood then right to my 5i.

ballplayer002003 1,108 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I remember a time when everyone used a 1,3,and 5 wood no questions asked. I guess we have come full circle.

Interesting you say that, so I had a 3 wood that is 15* then I had a 2 iron that was 18* , then 3 hybrid at 20* and 4 hybrid at 22*. My gapping was too close on the high end of my bag. My 2 iron I only hit off of a tee but couldn't hit it off the deck. So I went with a 5 wood (I hit my woods pretty good) at 18*. I took out my 2 iron and my 3 hybrid. My bag now looks like: Driver 9.5* 280 plus 3 wood 14.5* 250-260 yds 5 wood 18* 230-250 yds 4 hybrid 22* 225 yds This set up is working really well for me. I can control the 5 wood and have a ton of confidence in this club. With solid shots, there are not a lot of par 5's that I can't reach in two. This may be you, it may not, but I have to say, the 5 wood is quickly becoming my favorite club in the bag!!!! 2 Quote Driver: Epic Flash Sub Zero Hzdrs Smoke x flex 70g 3 Wood: 917 w/ Diamana Whiteboard stiff 5 Wood : Epic Flash 18* Hzdrs Smoke stiff 4 Hybrid: Apex w/Kuro Kage stiff Irons: 5-7 Apex forged 19 w/ Modus 120 X 9-A Apex Pro 19 w/ Modus 120 X Wedges: MD5 52&56 Jaws Dynamic Gold wedge flex Putter: Scotty Cameron Del Mar 34" Link to post Share on other sites

How do you make this decision? Is there a situation when you only/usually choose one over the other? Has your 3w become irrelevant?
