2 Hybrid vs 5 Wood vs 2 iron?

Wow you got a Pro caliber distance...  Even YE Yang can only knock his 19 degree hybrid around 220 yards.

Depends on your handicap. As a 14 you can probably hit your 5 wood farther. Me, as a 19 I don't carry a 2 iron or 5 wood but I love my 3 and 4 Taylor Made hybrids. They are very easy to hit. The 2 iron will go the straightest if you can make solid contact.

BTW for hybrid owners, what is your ball position for hybrid shots?

This seems logical, but apparently the average 19 'capper hits a 5 wood quite a bit farther than a 2 hybrid.  Obviously, you know what you hit better, but most bogey golfers should give a 5 wood a try.

I had this same question about a year ago. On building up my club set, I had a driver I liked and a 3-hybrid I hit pretty well, and then found I needed to put something inbetween. I was thinking about getting the 2-hybrid (which they made) or a fairway wood. Asked one golf fitter (who didn't know me personally, but didn't have a financial stake in the answer) and he said the fairway wood--better distance. I asked my teaching pro the same question and went in for a fitting, and he agreed. Set me up with a 5-wood, and it's worked well.

I have a Sonartec 3 wood that seems heavy to me so I don't use it.  I would send it to you for $25 + shipping.  Let me know at this thread.
