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.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
