Any reason not to switch to hybrids?

I currently have a very old callaway steelhead 3 wood and i got a cobra sz 5 wood last year. I'm thinking about switching both woods out in exchange for hybrids that will help me get the ball to stay on the green from 200+ range because I am very skinny and do not have a lot of power in my drives. Any reason not to swtich? from what I can see there are no downsides as the balls go just as far, higher so they stick to the greens, and are easier to hit.

You'll have a hard time finding a hybrid that can replace a 3 wood from a distance pespective if you hit a 3 wood reasonably well; I personally can't hit fairway woods so taking them out of the bag didn't hurt me at all. A 2 iron hybrid loft can replace a 5 wood, but I think most people (including myself) find hybids so attractive because they take the harder to hit long irons out of your bag. For me, it took the 3 wood and 3 iron out and gave me two clubs that I'm 100% confident in and I can be reasonably agressive with.

thanks for the feedback. I need a new 3 wood and 5 wood and didnt realize that the hybrids can't reach as far as a 3 wood. So I guess I'll stick to a traditional 3 wood since I can hit that fairly well anyway and need the distance. Since I 'm looking to replace my 5 wood also, I'm not sure whether I should get a hybrid or not. having a high 5wood distanced shot land on the green and stay there would be great. I hit my fairway woods pretty well hitting about 6 out 10 shots solid. I hit my long irons consistently well so I do not really have a need to replace them with hybrids. However if i replace the 5 wood with a 2 iron lofted hybrid, there would be no downside I guess right? I would just be getting a club which can hit better out of roughs and land on the green and stay there. right? In that case I don't see why everyone doesnt replace thier 5 woods with a 2iron hybrid

btw. how are those halo hybrids? Are they the hi bore kind?

I was told they actually built the HiBore based on the Halo technology, but I don't care which came first, they're both incredibly easy to hit well (and I'm not a huge Cleveland fan at the moment).

If you hit your fairway woods well, I'd stick with them. I think you'd probably get higher ballflight out of a 5 wood than you would with a 2 iron hybrid, although at the same time, I hit my hybrids well 8 out of ten times as opposed to 6; they really are easy to hit. Good luck on your decision, either way you get new clubs; can't go wrong with that!

... It really depends on the player and the skill level ...

I replaced my 3w and my 5w with hybrids and I've had no problem hitting my 21* 200+ yards ... I think most folks new to hybrids have a tendency to think they lose yardage, actually it's the other way around .. plus the accuracy and control is much better. Another major factor in hybrids is, you now have a club that you'll feel confident with in the deep rough and being able to play it 150 yards+ .. not too many woods can do that.
