On saturday I took some of what i've learned on this channel and shot my best score yet. Most of my success maybe from switching out my bladed wedges for cavity back wedges to match the irons i play. I went with one cleveland cbx 50 degree. A week ago I shot 10 over through 9 holes, this week I shot 3 over through 9!!! unprecedented and hope to repeat my success!

Earlier this year I had a 5 wood in the bag and a 3 wood, I didn’t really see a huge difference in the distance so during the off season I went out and did a few test for different 5 wood but was recommended a 7 wood. After hitting the Cobra F9 7 wood, I decided to pick it up and put it in my bad along with a 3 wood. It’s better for me as a sort of mid handicap player. But at the end of the day it always comes down to what will help your game and what you prefer

Love your channel Matt! I am now using a Ping G430 2 Hybrid, 4 Hybrid, and 5Hybrid. 5-PW TaylorMade P790 irons, vokey 50,54,58 wedges. Inside on trackman, I was only hitting the 3 Wood a little further than the 2 Hybrid. I love the 2 hybrid. It's a GREAT fairway finder. And I can hit stinger type shots with it. Also use it for punch outs from bad lies. Works great. I feel very comfortable with it compared to a 3 wood, probably due to the shorter shaft. I play 99% at my same local course, so it works for me. I did consider ditching the 5 hybrid for a 3 wood, but the 5 hybrid proves to be very valuable from bad lies, and when I need to get the ball up over a tree. So for rest of this year, I am sticking to this setup.

I agree. I just added a TS2 4 wood (16.5 degree head) to the bag last season. When we did the testing, the 13.5 degree head blended too close to my driver and I had trouble hitting the 15 degree off the deck. The 16.5 degree head hit the sweet spot. Love the ball flight and easy to hit off the deck.

As a new golfer (first round was end of May) I'm fairly decent with my irons as that's what I practiced with off the bat. My driver and woods are what get me in trouble the most. Pouring up a can of SLICE. Hybrids allow me to get some extra distance without losing my ball to the woods

Years back I took 3 wood out because I cold hit 5 wood very similar distances, that 20 years ago. Now I'm 64, new technology, can't hit anything as far, 3 wood stayed, maverick max, I can do a lot of different shaped shots off the fairways, it doesn't have the height of the 5, and gives me better roll outout this then helps with wedges I like to hit into par fives, anyhow depending on what age you are can really impact what goes in your bag. Another favourite for my age group, a lot of guys love the 7 woods. Im not a fan of the hybrids, I just can't hit them consistently

@liquidsmokemustang1537 9 ай бұрын

I appreciate your personality and character in your videos Matt. The set I’m using, which I only have about 15-20 rounds with, I can’t say I’ve ever pulled the the 3 or 5 wood except at the range.

Hi Matt, great channel. I believe I am a little goofy, but I use a g425 Max 5 wood set at 16.5° with a 3 wood shaft. Choked down I hit this 210ish and full swing 250. The second is my g425 Max 7 wood set at 20° to fill the gap after my g425 5 iron. These two clubs are easier to hit than any other’s I’ve tried. Keep up the great content.

@frankzayas3103 3 жыл бұрын

I got a whole bag of PXG's this year-woods and irons. When they were fitting me for a 3W, they ran into trouble finding just the right head and shaft combination for me so after trying several things, they ended up putting me into a 5 wood head on a 3 wood shaft, creating essentially a 4 wood. That worked perfectly in my gapping and I've been very happy with it. I recently picked up a 7 wood (Taylormade Sim Max) that I love and it put me in the same situation as you except trying to decide between that and the 3 hybrid. I've taken it out once since I got it and THAT was the easiest club I've ever hit and is extending my range from the hybrid and filling a gap I had just below that 4 wood. Problem solved! Hybrid moves to a spot in my garage bag and the 7W goes in the gamer bag. BTW, I'm a 4 wedge guy myself-PW, GW, 54 and 58 but this time of year here in Georgia, until the grass comes back in, I can leave the 58 in the garage. I just can't hit it consistently off these bare lies we have so I remove the temptation and stay out of trouble. Looking forward to putting it back in play in two or three more weeks.

I liked your customizing "the bag" for a particular course. one with deep rough may be best served by a hybrid, while one with only light rough both 3&5 woods, no hybrid. I find that a hybrid is easier to control using around greens vs. a 5 wood

@jimgovostes6261 3 жыл бұрын

Matt, I am an older golfer (77), and I still hit the ball long. I am usually 255 to 260 off the tee with driver. I carry both a 3 and a 5 wood. The 3 wood is a strong 3 at 13 degrees and a stiff shaft although Taylormade is proposing I move to the new SIM2 Max 3 wood which I will likely do. The 5 wood is an old M1 model and I will be getting the new SIM2 model soon to go with my new 3 Wood. SIM2 Max Driver came 2 weeks ago and I love it. As you can guess, Taylormade has my specs which haven't changed much in 5 years. I am lucky to have good genes and be able to do what I do today. But I have never loved the 4 wedge system. DOn't carry a 60 degree as it is a club I never hit well. I learned a lot iabout hitting a sand wedge when I lived in Europe and can do a lot of fancy shots with it. So I have 2 hybrids for the 3 and 4 irons, 5 - SW for irons. With the current 3 wood, off the deck isn't easy for me. That all may change with the new club, we chall see. But I want to thank you for the video, kind of confirmed my idea of the 3 woods staying in the bag.

@alanwaterworth6464 3 жыл бұрын

3 wood & 5 wood for me too. Love the 5 wood off the deck and it´s good for long par 3s. I was very good with 3 wood off the deck, until last winter on holiday, when I tried out a TS2 set to 16.5 degrees (so technically a 4 wood I guess), that thing was a beast! booming it! so I got one for Christmas this year and matched it with a TS2 5 wood to replace both my old clubs, can´t wait for the courses to open here again :)

I also carry a 3 hybrid that is easy to hit in a lot of situations. I hit long irons well, and I think that's why I like the hybrid over a more lofted fairway wood. I tend to struggle with fairway woods off the deck. Great stuff as always, Matt!

When Ben Hogan won the 1953 British Open at Carnoustie, he left his #7 iron in the hotel room as he said there wasn't a #7 iron shot on the course. The distance between #5 & #3 is 15 yards. The distance between irons is 7 yards. Easier to improvise with an iron than a wood. Just have to figure out how many times you'll hit each club. Somedays I don't even hit an #8 & somedays I'll hit 4 #8 irons. The shorter the course, I'll include that 4th wedge. The longer the course.....

I got rid of my 3i. I hit 4i 215. If I need to hit 225, I simply cut a hybrid in there. Hybrid is way more versatile than the 3i. So Driver. 3W. 3HB. 4-9. 46. 50. 54. 58. Putter

I've never been able to hit a long iron so I have always kept a 3 & 5 wood in my bag. Been hitting Cobra F8's for a couple years and love them. My wedge game needs a lot of help so I keep clubs in my bag that I can use to get yardage to take a full swing into greens. Keep the videos coming Matt hackers like me love the input!

I play with a 15-degree 3 wood which I mainly use off the tee, but also on those long par 5s. I pair it with a 19 degree hybrid which plays similar enough distance-wise to a 5 wood for me, but a bit more versatile.

Player's quality matters. For average golfers playing high 70's to mid 80's a 5W is still much easier off the turf, distance loss is minimal and it flies every day. 3W gives you some more distance off the tee, but you can struggle more in the bad days and it's overall more delicate. Players shooting low 70's and those above 90's, not much difference... Myself, 60 yrs old, playing 78-82, I love 4W, but found there is a limited choice (like my 50-54-58 edges).

Really interesting Matt. I am off 25, driver goes 220 yards. I have always kept a Taylor Made 2 Rescue 16 degree in the bag, plus a 5 wood. 2 weeks ago I bought a 3 and a 4 Callaway X-Hot hybrid - so easy to hit, super straight and I get 200 and 180 yards respectively. So enough yardage to reach every par 4 and 5 in regulation if I hit straight. Great for punching out from under trees and I use the 4H for bunting up on to the green. It's an old man shot but who cares. So for me I came to the opposite view - no rescue/fairway woods, 2 hybrids. I'll trade a few yards from a 3 wood for straight with a hybrid any day. Off scratch or 1 - I agree a different story. Cheers

@@nicholaschristodoulou3821 It's a shorter club, which is what makes the hybrids easier to hit. I'm dropping my 3-wood for a 2-hybrid this season and I already dropped the 5-wood for a 3-hybrid. They're just easier to hit. The only place I was comfortable hitting the 3-wood was off the tee...from the fairway or rough was a struggle for consistency.

@alanwaterworth6464 3 жыл бұрын

@@nicholaschristodoulou3821 loft is the reason. 5 wood is typically about 19 degrees, 3 wood, 13-15 degrees. You need more speed to get the ball in the air but lose speed playing from the grass. I had a 13.5 degree 3 wood that I could hit almost as far as driver, but not off the grass. Changing to a 15 degree 3 wood helped, now gone to a 15 degree TS2 set to +0.75.

@@josephdurkin8180 I was in the same boat for a long time...I still have a 4-iron, but dropped my 3-iron a couple of years ago. The 3-iron was too situational for me to justify keeping it. After I replace my 3-wood I may need to look at the 4-iron again. I get decent distance from the 4-iron (210 yds give or take 10 yds), but I really like the feeling of confidence that a hybrid gives me. If I go with adjustable 2/3/4 hybrids (Ping G425 hybrids, for example) for the 200-250 yd range, I'll be happy.

I started playing when a typical amateur set was driver 3 wood and5 wood, 3,5,7,9 irons and a putter. (later, bought full setand didn't gain a damn thing). Early on though, Bought my first new woods (they wanted $50.00 each!!!) Found the "even numbered" woods for $30.00 on a closeout. So I had my oversized Hickory driver, and my composite 2wood and 4wood. great combination for years!!! My bag is a lot heavier , now !

I have the mavrik drive, 3 wood, 5 wood and just invested in the 7 wood as I did not have a 3 iron. I find the 3 wood not so easy to hit as the 5 wood, but I can usually guarantee I draw the 3 wood off the tee and that helps when I do not want to go too much right.

I'm a high handicapper and i got a package set with driver, 3 wood, 4h, 5-sw irons. I really struggle to hit the 3 wood and the 5/6 irons. My golf pro at my course suggested to get a 5 wood as it is easier to hit. It's perfect for me, good for long par 4 and 5s at my course to get further down the fairway. It's good for long par 3s where a driver is too much.

Usually leave 3 hybrid in the bag & remove 3 iron and 4 iron. On windy days leave in 3 iron in instead of 3 hybrid. The 14 club limit is a pain. Need at least one more club.

Most amateurs "replace" one or both long irons with hybrids anyway - so no issue... The main issue is if a player wants a 4 wedge system vs 3 wedges (?) Personally, as one must learn to hit each wedge multiple distances (esp. inside 100 yds - 100,90,80,70,60, etc) I prefer the 3 wedge system with 6 degrees between each (58 Sand/Lob, 52 Gap, 48 Pitch)... 👍 So I can carry 3 & 5 woods, 3 & 4 hybrids, and 3 wedges !!! 😊
