The differences in the 2 hybrid 16* and 3 wood 14*. IS the hybrid easier to hit from the rough? Is the ball flight much higher with the hybrid compared to the wood?

I cannot answer your question, but I would like to corroect you, the G10 3 wood is 15.5* and the G10 2 Hybrid is 15*

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

I'm going to have to say that the hybrid will be easier to hit from the rough. You can just look at the design of the two and decide what you are looking for. The Wood has a longer curve so you would probably have a higher MOI but the way the head is shaped on the hybrid it looks like it would be able to get it up and out in a hurry. I've always thought of hybrids as more of an iron replacement than a wood (that's just me of course) even though they are technically supposed to be a combination of both. In my game I have always had better luck with hybrids from the rough and I leave the Woods to the tee. Hope this helps at least a little.

Yeah I'm thinking I'll upgrade to the G10 driver next year and the 3 wood for now.

Do people get fitted for 3 woods? Or can I just take the ones off the rack?

Just Depends on your height. Its pretty much like getting fitted for a driver where you can choose from a few shafts and get it shorter or taller if you need it.

    • Day 7: got out my chipping net and worked on chipping in the living room for a solid 15 minutes. Worked on mostly low shots, but mixed in a couple of high shots as well. 
    • Day 228 4-4 More hip/chest turn and wrist arching. Working on hinging wrist a bit later. Foam balls. 
    • Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.  
    • A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.
