New Hybrid to Replace 5 Wood and 3Hybrid

[Matt P]

I wanted to get opinions on an option I have been considering for my bag. I currently have a 5-Wood 19° and a 3-I Hybrid at 21°, my four iron is 23°. I am considering getting a 19° Hybrid that would replace the 5-Wood and 3-I Hybrid I now play.....any thoughts?


Thanks,

Matt

I made the swich from a 5 wood to a 2-hybrid last summer. I did it mainly because the course I played alot that had three 215+ yd par 3's on them. Murder holes. I found that I was hitting the 5-wood too high to control the ball into the greens because wind would effect the flight so much. I got the hybrid which is easier to control direction and keep down. They are much better from the rough than a 5-wood, but not as forgiving in an overall sense. So its a win/lose situation. It would be my advice that if you dont have a specific reason for switching from a 5-wood to a 2 hybrid, then dont.

I'm doing this to make room for the 60* wedge in my bag. Just ordered a 19* Bridgestone J36 hybrid last night to replace my current hybrid and 3 iron.
