As has been mentioned previously, this is a purely personal matter. Recently I replaced an 18* 5-wood with an 18* hybrid. The hybrid has a more piercing trajectory and flies flatter overall and more consistently than the 5-wood did. Carry distance and overall distance were very close so the difference for me, and the decision maker was the level of consistency.

I recently switched from a 5 wood to a TSi2 Hybrid and absolutely love it. For me it's so much more consistent and controllable then the 5 wood was. For me it just seems like a personal preference more then which one is better then the other.

I remember when a 21 degree fairway metal was a 5-wood and a 26 degree fairway metal was stamped a 7-wood (I still have that one somewhere.

Some of us struggle to hot fairways whatever the number, it's hybrids for me.

I was just fitted and went with 2023 Titleist T100 5-PW with a TSR2 7 Wood to replace my 4 iron. Honestly, the most fun club to hit!

I replaced my 5 wood a few years back for a hybrid. Here recently I have thought about putting a 5 wood back in the bag but haven’t made the switch yet. I upgraded to the TSR3 hybrid several months ago and really like it but I’m still thinking of maybe adding a TSR 5 wood just because I love my 3 wood so much.

Different strokes for different folks

It's all preference really. The hybrid's seem "hot" to me, or I swing them incredibly smooth, I need the consistency of the irons. It all depends on the gaps you have, and your maximum yardage you can reach. 200 is my stock 4-iron, 230 is my 3 hybrid, 250 my strong 4-wood TSR2 16.5. Same with wedges and bounce, you have to find your preference.

I have better success out of the rough with a hybrid than any FW club. This to me, makes the hybrids more versatile. Its gotta be personal preference for sure. You gotta make sure whats in your bag is set up for you to be successful.

I play TSi2 16.5° and 21° for the past several years and love the ease to launch the ball. For me, they are easier to hit than hybrids and have a better descent angle.

I use both the 5W and hybrids 21 degree and 24 degree. I just received my new TSI3 driver, 3w, hybrids and T150 irons. The TSI3 hybrids are so solid and playing with the adjustments helps to increase launch. I find the hybrids spin nicely and really dig into the greens. Much easier to hit than 3, 4 and 5 irons for me at 61 years old. Beautiful clubs.

Nice. I just bought the TSR2 4H a week ago and love it. Was your 24 degree Hydbrid as easy to hit as your 21 degree? I tried the TSR2 3 wood today at both 15 and 16.5 degrees and only hit them 5 yards further than my 4H. I was curious what your experience has been with your hybrids. Thanks

I was fitted for TSR2 18 and 21 to replace a 3 hybrid and 4 iron. I find the fairway metals to be more consistent and less prone to the left miss than the hybrid. Since getting the T150s, I do swap in the 4 iron depending on the course.

I do the same thing. I switch between my hybrid and 5 wood depending on the course I’m playing.

Having the options from 5 wood to driving iron is the best. But I struggle from day to day with the 200 yd *** and which to go with. I am still as consistent with t100s 3 iron as any but need something out of rough. The search is fun

I recently got rid of my 818 h1 19 degree hybrid, and I replaced it with a 16.5Ts2 wood to help off the tee. Best decision ever. My next club down is a 818 23hy, bit of a gap between clubs but I can usually sweet that to 200 yards. And a little confidence with the 16.5 when my driver is misbehaving goes a long way.

I’m really looking at letting go of my 4-hybrid (22 degree, and go into a 22 degree 7 wood.

Converted to the new TSR1 fairway 18* adjusted to a 17* and two two TSR1 hybrids 20* and 23*. Turned in my 816 and 818 hybrid and my five iron. They are great clubs when I hit them solid. But issue as we continue with my physical therapy seems to be balance. That is the next step in my sessions. I have done everything to strengthen my back with core exercises and it seems solid but still not striking the ball solid and with consistency. We started with balance exercises this week and found there is a major issue and that is our focus at this time. Hopefully by improving my balance we can development a more consistent swing and hit the new wonderful, beautiful clubs. Would love to get back down in the 80s on a consistent basis or maybe even shoot my age this year. Have a whole hear to find out. Titleist fairways and hybrids in the bag and ready to go.

As I sit here watching our second blizzard (10+ inches) in 3 days, I was lucky enough to get 2 rounds in with my new collection of TSR 23 hybrid and 20/18 fairways in December. They filled the gaps from my T350 6 iron. Need more time with the 18, but 23/20 are already worth every penny. Now if I can get outdoors before SD on March 15.

Is the 7 wood 21 or 23 degrees?
