Driving Iron Vs Hybrid Vs 5 Wood

Seen the mizuno jpx fli hi which is a 3 iron 19 deg replacement with hybrid head and steel shaft.

Driving iron vs hybrid vs 5 wood.

A 5 wood is generally 19 24 degrees in loft and is a higher lofted fairway wood. Used to replace long irons. 7 wood not commonly used today. His accuracy with even a 17 hybrid exceeds the 5 woods he has tried.

I love the feel and shot shaping ability of both especially a low stinger with the 2 iron through the wind. Tempted by a driving iron. Strong hybrid i don t know if this is even a proper term but it will suffice a hybrid of 18 degrees or less. Adding additional fairway woods is not feasible as they are harder to hit and a 5 wood will go about the same distance as a 3 hybrid.

Your 13 5 degree fairway wood clubhead when cranked down to 12 5 or so will have to be opened in order to be de lofted making it more likely to produce fades and slices. The 5 wood is a good choice for playing during normal weather conditions whereas a 2 iron does a good job on a windy day. In short don t carry clubs that you can t confidently hit. Rather than carrying clubs like 4 5 and even 6 irons replacing these clubs with hybrids leads to more consistent contact.

I ditched my 5 wood and 4 hybrid and bought a tmb 3 iron with a steel shaft and a tmb 2 iron with a graphite shaft. I found myself in the same situation last year. Hybrids have made approach shots much easier than before their development. His isn t a setup without problems.

Capable of replacing a 3 wood. Almost identical to 5 wood but with more loft. 5 wood vs 2 iron. 5 wood almost identical to a 3 wood but with more loft.

The 4 hybrid supports a faster swing and clubhead speed than a 5 iron club. Hybrid 19 degrees of loft. The 5 wood has a longer shaft than a 2 iron that helps it to deliver shots that cover a longer range of distance. Have a space in the bag between my 15 5 degree 3 wood and 4 iron 22 deg.

Jack uses a 21 hyhrid along with an 18 driving iron. Compared to a 3 wood compared to a hybrid a 5 wood has a larger club head which may cause some frustration when first learning to make solid contact hitting out of the fairway. Trajectory differences per club used as we look at the heights of the three clubs you can easily see how the 3 iron was the flattest white lines the hybrid was in the middle yellow lines and the 5 wood was the highest purple lines. Think a 5 wood would be similar length to my 3 wood and i ve been hit and miss with hybrids in the past.

They ranged from 90 mph with the 3 iron to 101 5 mph with the 5 wood.
