How far will the next club up go?

[gilwood]

Is there a way to calculate how far the next club up or wood up should go? The reason why I'm asking is that I've had such great success with my Rescue mid #4 at 22 degrees that I'm considering getting rid of all my woods and getting the #3 or #2 to replace them. Currently, I'm hitting my Taylormade Rescue Mid #4 at 200 yards on the dot. So how far would the #2 rescue mid go if it's 16 degrees? Any way to calculate this?

It should be about 10-15 yards per club, irons, I'd imagine woods are slightly more. I'd say you would add 20-40 yards with the 16 degree.....

I wouldn't say 20-40 yards more. I'd say 10-20.

You think so?? I dunno, I hit a 2 hybrid and got it to go about 30 yards farther than my 3H.....

Those are some pretty hot heads on those things..not like an iron..

i hit a 3hybrid about 230 carry usually....if i tee it up and get a good fairway roll i can get it to 250+. i used to hit my old 5hybrid 200yards, so figure im getting 2 clubs more and 30 yards more carry....woods/hybrid gaps are generally 15-20yds per club and irons are 10-15yd gaps. figure that your 16* hybrid won't go as far as your 3wood, maybe 10yards less carry....but it should be a heck of a lot more accurate.

Considering he was asking about going from a #4 to a #2 I wouls say the 20-40 is accurate.

I hit my TM rescue mid 22* 195 yards. When I hit the 2 rescue well I hit about 220. But I will say I hit the 4 well most of the time. Its very easy to hit. The 2 however, I had some problem hitting well. So much so, that I switched to a fairway wood, and I hit that much better. YMMV.

I replaced my Cobra LD M speed Offset fairway woods 3, 5 & 7 with Nickent 3DX Hybrids.

The offsets were hooking too much....the Nickent are neutral and are straight on.

Replaced #3 wood with #2 Hybrid....both right at 200 yds
Replaced #5 wood with #3 Hybrid....both about 180 yds
Replaced #7 & 4 iron with #4 Hybrid...both about 170 yds
