wood vsvs hybrid

[Nate Gebert]

Im sure this was already answered. But I am a midhand golfer using x tours 4-PW. Trying to find something to gap my driver which I drive well. About 250 yards. Only have money for one. Trying to decide on a wood 3or 5 or hybrid 2- . I currently have an old hogan wood which I can hit further with about anythin . Lol. Looking at callaway ftiz 3 wood or ping rapture 21 deg hybrid. Found both on clist for about 40 bucks each. Or looking at Cleveland mashie in the 3 need some advice on what to do

An instructor I had recommended a Dr, 4W, 3 hybrid, 4hybrid, 5i through wedges.  He said the 4W is easier to hit than a 3W for higher hanidcapers.  I think buying just one club, get the 4W.

Here the conditions and shorter shaft made a 2h a better choice than 4w with the same loft. I lost a little distance but not enough to worry about. Honestly I really don't need either. I started using a 43" 12.5 degree 280cc whatever you want to consider it and that is my driver and fairway wood. I hit that twice on par 5's with rare exception. If I use the 2h it's because I need a rescue shot or the course has a long par 3 and fairway woods well it's rare to need them in the fairway.

Ok. Great points. Leaning toward wood because the courses I go to are pretty much fairway . Nothing to cabbagey. One of my fav courses is all par 3 so trying to shorten my drive distance when I'm there without changing my swing. I use a 9* greatest Bertha. Hope to upgrade soon lol. Like the idea of both clubs. Looked at hybrid iron sets but couldn't pass up the x tours for 75 bucks. I'm new to the game this year but put in hours and hours my handi is dropping fast.
