In your opinion, what would be the easiest to hit and the most forgiving a 5 wood or a 2 hybrid both around 18*?

I realize there would be some distance loss from the wood to the hybrid, but would the hybrids accuracy offset the difference?

The club would be used off the tee and the fairway. Probably more off the fairway except on long par 3"s.

Hybrid..more versatile and shorter shaft length will render more accuracy...

I'd vote for the hybrid as well. I got rid of a 5-wood I didn't hate, but I am much more consistent with the hybrid (17*).

"Consistent" is what wins tournaments!

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      Feel like you are left side dominant. Keep the back of your glove running through impact. Keeps leading edge down without digging. You will pick them clean with some zip if the grass is nice and generally acceptable results off anything less than ideal. Works with both hingy or dead hand pitches and chips.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
