New Fairway Woods or Hybrids

[trackbikes]

I recently went out and bought a RBZ 3 wood and a 3 hybrid,  For some strange reason after a week or two of playing with them I started hitting my old hybrids a hell of a lot better, (taylormade super fast burner's  3 & 4 , the black ones).  I can now hit them longer and straighter than ever before.

As a result I've hardly used any irons below an 8 on my past few rounds.

I want to add 2 more hybrids and replace my 4,5,6,& 7 iron as I find myself using half and 3/4 swings with the 4 hybrid as the results are so good and i'd rather play full shots.  I am also considering a few fairway woods instead. What would you guys suggest  a 5 , 7,  9 wood  or a 4 & 5 hybrid?

One final question could the dramatic improvement in my use of my old hybrids be down to the swing weight which is D8 compared to the D4 swing weight of the RBZ's  i.e they are heavier so i might have slowed down my swing a bit?

Thanks

It's all personal preference.  I prefer hybrids over high lofted fairway woods.  They make long par 3's a lot easier.

Thanks for the sensible feedback...  I went and got an RBZ  6 hybrid today and picked up an RBZ driver while i was there..

The 6 RBZ goes almost exactly the same distance as the 4 Superfast Burner i have, they are both so much more consistant than the 5 and 6 irons

Now have RBZ Driver, 3 wood 3 & 6 hybrid, think I'll sell the superfasts (3 &4) and get maybe an RBZ 4 hybrid

I freakin love hybrids.  Growing up I had low irons in my set and usually hit them fine.  Heck I think I even had a 2 iron in my set back in the day.  By replacing them with hybrids I've made the hardest clubs in my bag to hit some of the easiest clubs to hit.  Plus I can hit nice high shots into long par 4s that before would have had no chance of staying on the green, as I tend to hit the ball low.  A lot of people don't like hybrids, but I would bet that most players (handicap 5 or higher) if they took 10 shots, would hit it closer to the pin on average from 200 yards with a hybrid than a long iron.  Sorry for the broken sentence, but I think you get the point.
