I currently hit Mizuno MP-14s, and here are the lofts of my irons:

Loft(°)
2i - 18* (215 yds; actually a Mizuno GRAD; 2nd set of clubs)
3i - 23 (200 yds)
4i - 26
5i - 29
6i - 32
7i - 36
8i - 40
9i - 45
Pw - 50

I like using a 2 iron, as it allows me to work the ball very well, hit low stinger shots when needed and flies about 215 yards, give or take.

I also have these fairway woods:
TM Burner Bubble ti 3w - 15* (in my bag)
TM Burner Bubble ti 5w - 19* (in my closet, not bag)

What I am looking for is something to replace the 3 wood and 5 wood and which I can hit further than the 2 iron, which I don't want to get rid of.

Should I go something like a 4wood or a 1 hybrid? It would be nice to hit the club about 225-240 and be able to hit from the rough. I've been looking at the Bobby Jones Jesse Ortiz, online only because no one seems to sell them in-store. Suggestions?

I really like my Adams Speedline Hybrid-Fairway 3 wood. Very easy to hit off the grass. Goes around 230'ish off grass, more off a tee.

I hit my new Wilson Fybrid ~20 yards past my Mizuno MP 11 2-iron (220-250 for the 2-iron) with the same swing as the 2-iron. If I swing full out it may be driver length, but I can't say what the stock shaft would do.

I am gaming a 4W and really love it. It's so much easier to hit off turf than 3W, but longer than 5W. I think it's a great club to have in your bag. I found I didn't really need the extra 10-15 yards I could get from the 3W, but didn't want to drop down to a 5W as that just left too much gap. I carry a 4W and a 2H now and am really happy with that setup.

Ahh that sounds like a great set up, 2 hybrid and 4 wood. I love my 2 iron though, so maybe I'd just go with the 4 wood. Plus, I don't want to cut too much into the golf club funds, because I think I'm getting a set of Macgregor PCB tours. Damn, I spend too much on this game.

4-Wood is the way to go, I believe. A friend of mine plays the MP-14s, and is currently seeking a similar club to what you're asking about.

Mizuno's F-60 series has a 4-Wood, if you want to keep it in the family. For some reason, their new fairway wood offering doesn't seem to have it. You can probably get a great one reasonably cheap now, too.

    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).
