4-iron vs 5-hybrid vs 9-wood | Which Golf Club Should You Play?

This test includes an in-depth comparison of a 4-iron vs. 5-hybrid vs. 9-wood. Perhaps the most common dilemma in 2nd Swing Tour Van fittings is filling the gap between a player's longest iron and fairway wood(s) in the bag. In 2021, our fitters have noticed that 7-woods and 9-woods have performed really well for players because of the high launch and steep landing angles they provide.
While many golfers don't think of putting a 7-wood or 9-wood in the bag, it very much could be the best club for their game.
In this video, 2nd Swing's Drew Mahowald and Thomas Campbell compare the performance of a 4-iron vs. 5-hybrid vs. 9-wood with Trackman technology. Should you be gaming a high-lofted fairway wood, such as a 9-wood?

Great comparison guys. I've put my 4 iron in the closet and started to use a hybrid this year and I'm seeing good results and shaved 2 or 3 strokes off my score.

@markmendelson6688 3 жыл бұрын

Most golfers have slower swing speeds and most videos have testers with high swing speeds..we need to see how the Clubs perform at lower speeds if we are considering buying a club!!

Exactly. Need mid to high handicapper testing who are in that handicap range due to overall game not just dropping loads of shots 60 yards out of pin. So a tester who on par 4s looking to get realistic 2 shots out from 3 shots in not someone whos looking to be on the pin or close after 2 on a par 4 say.

I have a similar set with a 5W ( 18.5) then a 7W ( 22.5) a one length Hybrid (19) for a lower penetrating shot for windy days, then 5 ( 24) and 6 ( 29) iron-hybrid style clubs, then SL irons 7-GW. The SL Hybrid is a vary versatile club, great for poor lies, bump and runs, punch shots. The hybrid-irons slot into the higher trajectory than an iron, but not as high as a Hybrid and so easy to to hit well.

It would be nice to have this comparison with someone who has lower swing speed. I dropped my 5-iron for a 9-wood three weeks ago and, boy am I happy! Swing speed in the mid-80's and poor contact resulted in a 5-iron I hit inconsistently between 130 & 160 yards. With the 9-wood I'm hitting 145 carry off the deck (trackman) and in-round distances between 155 & 165 yards (shotscope V3 data). I was planning to pick up a 7-wood too, but after gapping my clubs in trackman bay, I found out I now have a 20 yard gap between 6-iron and 9-wood carry distance. Plan to get a 5-hybrid and crank the loft to split the difference between 6I & 9W lofts to fill the gap.

Interesting video. If you go shopping for a 9 wood, you'll find lofts from 23° to 27°, and also the club lengths vary also. If we're going to talk about 9 woods, maybe a comparison of both ends of the spectrum of loft and length would be more helpful. Also watching a tour level golf swing is entertaining, it can also be a bit discouraging. Most of us are having a good day if we can get 230 yards from our drivers...

Would love to see all 3 clubs at the end of the vid swung at 15mph less. It’s not like I don’t believe you Thomas 😉, but would actually love to see if the 4 iron does fall out of the sky, and see if the 5H & 9W are still so similar. Even though I’m not slow, I play a 5W rather than 3W as I feel more confident in hitting tight fairways, so I’m on board somewhat with your thinking. Cheers!

The thing is you can flight any club, like the tiger woods 7 iron stinger shot that's on KZfaq. If you lead with the hands and saw off the follow through with ball slightly back in the stance and practice that shot on the range, you can flight a 7 or a 9 wood lower. Same way with a lot of modern irons like the hollow long irons you can flight them a lot higher if you want and learn how to do it. I really think 7 and 9 wood can be a really versatile club. Because it's going to be very easy out the ruff also which a 3 iron isn't going to be even possible. Flighting the ball is something I wish people would demonstrate when looking at the different club choices and higher lofted woods.

I've seen most 9 woods in the 27-28 degree loft area. The ping looks very low to me at 23.5 for a 9 wood. Ping makes amazing clubs, but I can't afford them new, so I'll be looking at other brands and maybe even used. Looking to replace probably a 5 iron which for me is about 170-185. I just bought a used Ping K15 5 wood that I'm absolutely hammering 220-240 and a Cleveland Launcher 7 wood that I'm hitting about 195-210. I'm thinking a 9 wood just might fill the bill since for some reason I tend to hook the crap out of hybrids..
