Oh my, this is so on point. I have a 2i, 5w and 3hybrid all with 18 deg. It basically comes down to ball flight and the course. I love 2i off the tee in summer running down the fairway, and 5w for second shots into long par 4s and 5s. The 3h generally stays in the garage :D
Found out from my fitting a while back that I come in very steep. Ended up with Callaway Paradigm 3 wood set to 16 (more of a 4 wood) and a 7 wood. Both half inch long LA golf A series X flex. 7 wood was an adjustment but now I love it, so easy to hit. The takeaways from this video were validating
Such an important part of the bag. This is a 215yd club for me and when I had my first full fitting a little over 5 years ago was the first time I had thoughtfully and specifically addressed that yardage. Such a different feeling when you step into that yardage on a long par 3 or 2nd into a par 5 and you have the confidence knowing....I have that club/shot in the bag.
I play 2 clubs at 18* a 2 iron that I use primarily off the tee and a 5 wood that I use to launch the ball up in the air from the fairway to land softly on greens, feel it works well as I don’t like using a 3 wood.
This test sums up why I’m really going to miss you two. It does (in a small way) validate my set up after 3 wood. 19 degree 7 wood @ 5 wood length into 19 degree 3 hybrid into 21 degree 3 iron. Wind conditions shot shape and lie dictate which club I take. It’s rarely the right one.
Needed this video BAD! Just got fitted at Club Champion for full bag. Ended up with Ping i230 irons with Accra iSeries 115 shafts, Ai Smoke 💎 💎 💎 9° with Accra GX 260 M5, and GT2 15° 3 wood set at D3 (1.5° UPRT and 15.75° loft) with Accra GX 200F M5. Need to go back and decided if I want to stick with my T200 2 iron that I carry 245 with a baby fade or go into a GT2 5 wood for a little more forgiveness. Unfortunately the store I went to didn’t have a GT2 5 wood, so I will have to wait until I get back home to Florida to get fitted and see if it works better for me than the 2 iron. Can’t wait to get my new clubs in! Definitely didn’t expect to be in Accra shafts in everything, Ping irons, and a Titleist 3 wood. I was already gaming the Ai Smoke, but with a stock AV2 white 65 gram stiff from a Rogue ST driver I had.
Great choice of topic and right on point for me. An update to my 3w has created a big enough gap to my 7w, and I'm seriously looking at a 5w as the solution including demoing a club a couple of weeks ago. My hybrid tends to head far too left and so I'll demo a UT and see where that puts me - and then maybe it is time for a fitting to make sure the flight, and distance are optimal before I take the plunge. Going to miss you guys on here - but looking forward to what comes next !
My Titleist U500 3i took on a completely new life when I reshafted it a Graphite Design IZ-85 Hybrid. It’s an absolute monster! I love it off the deck and off the tee.
I really like that cut on my driving iron. It does it every time. In my bag, that fits with its purpose… that tight tee shot. Start it left edge, come back to mid to right. Safe as houses.
Outstanding review. I have a Callaway 18 degree UT in my bag. Anytime there is wind on the course, the UT drills straight ahead with much less deviation than my 5 Wood or 3 Hybrid.
Definitely a good topic! I have a Srixon 20°, a Mavrik Pro 20° hybrid and the newest 18° Callaway BB 5 wood. I use all 3 for different shots. Depending on the golf course I can take any one of them out of the bag. And even swap out my driver if it’s not cooperating.
Over the years Ian you and I have very similar numbers and tastes. That said if you've never tried one give the Tour Edge C series hybrids a look. I would never have guessed I'd like a hybrid as much as I like my C722
Currently gaming the TSR2 hybrid turned down to 17*. It’s an absolute weapon off the tee and so easy to hit off the fairway. It kicked my Mavrik 16.5* 4w out of the bag recently that had been a mainstay for three years prior.
This is interesting. I don’t hit a 3 wood high enough, so I went to a 5 wood and I don’t it far enough. So this year I went to a 20 degree Mizuno hybrid (which I love!) and took my Paradym triple diamond 5 wood down to 17 degrees and those seem to help my numbers better.
I have the Callaway 19° & 17° UW and the 18° UT. I usually carry all of them but if I had to carry only 14, then I’d choose the 19° UW. Average carry off the tee is about 245-250 with 10-15 yards of rollout. I absolutely love the shape and it performs adequately out of the rough. It doesn’t have the typical hybrid hook, and the dispersion is excellent. I feel like it’s very workable right, left, high or low.
I have a 18 hybrid and 18 UW. The UW is perfect between a hybrid and a wood. For anyone who struggles with 3,5 wood I would highly recommend you try a UW
I’m the same as Ian with hybrid working indoors and struggling or not liking it on the course. I ended up added a 9 wood and it’s my favourite club in the bag
@@MetalGear69 ah yes, you're right. I play 5 wood and 7 wood before going into my irons. Prefer the woods over hybrids, however hybrids do perform best out of the rough.
This was a really good test for me. This is the club I can’t seem to nail down. I have a GT2 5 wood wth ventus red + 7s, also have a ping G430 19* that Adam from Auchterlonies is making a Accra TZ6 85 up for, Adam fitted me in to TSr2 21* with same Accra shaft and I love it. I have a shallow angle of attack so driving iron doesn’t work!! Prob need to go see the big leg for a fitting 🤔
Another quality video, thanks guys for the insight as always. Unrelated but there's been something I've wondered for a while now - if a golfer tends to get along with a shaft that has, say, a stiffer mid and tip section but they're only in an R flex due to swing speed, could they reasonably see equally good results with a shaft that has a softer profile in the mid and tip but is an S (or perhaps even X) flex? I guess what I'm curious about is whether the effects of profile and flex could be mutually replicable if you went extreme enough in either variable. Thought this might make for a cool test.
This part of the bag is super tough. I’ve settled on 13 clubs with a super hot low spin Srixon 5 wood and cobra king tec 4 hybrid. Both are easily a club longer than they should be but retain ease of launch and stick on greens. I’m convinced the 5 wood I have is really a 4 wood that just had 5 wood painted on it. I’m trying a driving iron as the 14th club but second my swing is a tiny bit off I’m dead in the water. I do have a 7 wood and 3 wood too but when any one of those are in there’s too much overlap. Either going to go for some kind of cheat stick to help my short game (what I SHOULD do) or be one of those guys who gets suckered into the mini driver hype (what I should not do 😂)
For me , its 5wood no doubt about it . I love my 5 wood in all situations even out of par 5 fairway bunkers...i struggle to decide on 4iron or 4hybrid but lean towards 4hybrid accept when i gotta punch out under trees, then i want my 4iron cus i can fade it draw it slice it or hook it and keep it knee high amd run it out
I transition from 5 iron (Mizuno MP 60s) to 4 hybrid Taylormade M1, to 17 degree Nickent utility wood. The 4 hy can. Be a 210 club up to a 225 if I want, Utility is 225-240. 5 iron is 195-205. All carry numbers. So I'm saying my bridge is 2 clubs😊
Very interesting. I need a club change in the bag as I jump from a 3 wood to 7 wood. Useful in summer in the uk but in the winter the carry gap is too wide now
I have the tsr2 18 degree fairway. But put my tsr1 7 wood shaft. The shorter lighter shaft gives me the height for my slow swing speed. Love the comparison. PS. I miss being young
This is probably the hardest area -- I have +3W, 5W, 4H, then 5 iron. I struggle with 5W ballooning versus hybrid dispersion versus long iron length. Do agree these are the types of videos I will miss the most...
I got the same setup. 5wood is my most consistent club out of the four. I got it used with +1 inch length shaft. 3wood is used with standard length shaft. 4h and 5i down to GW are fitted from PXG with +0.5inch shafts. But that was also the longest they had in their fitting bays, which I thought was super bizarre. I think I need at least +0.75 inch shafts. The 4h i top more often than id like. The 3wood is wildly inconsistent. But the 5wood is like heaven.
Played a callaway 22* 7 wood this year - found it ballooned more often than not, and was probably my least hit club in bag. Looking to fill the gap between my 3 wood and T150 4iron - will probably be revisiting a hybrid that can delivery a forgiving, higher flight for 2025...ping G430 3H sounds promising.
Great video guys 👍 I've shortened my G430 hybrid exactly for the reasons you mentioned, I really like it but have a consistent right miss (a small block) with it - that I don't have with other clubs. I'm wondering if it's because the G430 is quite flat (the TSR2 is more upright). There's no option on the adapter to make it more upright, can a hybrid be bent?
Problem with about 90% of golfers is that they don’t have the speed for a 2 iron to be efficient. 5 wood might also be very similar to the 3 wood and often times like with Mikey is that the 3 wood is often kept in the bag during a round of golf. Hybrid has probably more versatility and is what I ended up picking for myself (17 & 21 degrees).
I don't have enough speed to keep a utility iron in the bag, went g425 sft 16° then a 3-4 stealth hybrids to get the ball airborne and having a chance into the longer holes
Interesting... I replaced my 4 iron with a TRS2 21* hybrid this year and I hit it so well, I was thinking of replacing my 5 wood with another TRS2 18* but I just couldn't hit it as well as the 21*. I ended up with a GT2 16.5* for what I thought was going to be a 5-3 wood tweener but after using it more, it really is replacing my 5 wood (Marik SZ). Much of it is the user but I was really hoping to make that TRS2 18* hybrid work as I liked the 21* so much then roll into the 16.5* to cover the 3wood.
This is what ive been trying to figure out myself. The hybrid and 5w was too spinny and going nowhere (might also have been the shaft on them. I believe they r high launch shafts even though its a stiff shaft). 2i just isnt the easiest to hit especially off the ground. Also the 2i maybe its too light? As it has a graphite shaft vs steel shaft for the rest of my iron set. I def think i need my first fitting session soon. My numbers r very similar to his. Need to figure out my 230-250 yard club.
Been trying to figure out this part of my bag for a few years now, super frustrating. however I think having some combo of hybrid/Fw that are interchangeable depending on wind/course conditions is pretty key. Flighting down a 7 wood on a really windy day is really a big ask for me personally vs hitting a lower flighted shot with hybrid. I'm still wrestling with the idea of moving to a 4 wood instead of a 3 wood, and haven't been able to commit fully to using a 7 wood even though its probably better for me. Just don't have the confidence in it the way I do a hybrid...golf am i rite? lol
I never understood how people hit these the same distance… my 19° 3i goes 245, 23° 5hy goes 235, and my 21° 5 wood goes 255 lol. So to see someone hitting these always threw me for a loop
As a mid-handicap I can't reliably hit the 4i in my bag unless it's on a tee. Why would I even consider a 2i? I do have an 18* hybrid and a 18* 5 wood. To induce a lower flight path I just move the ball back at address a couple of inches. For higher trajectory I put the teed up ball closer to my lead foot and do admit that the 5W does fly higher than the hybrid.
With this info does that mean a PDHY 4 iron at 21° has about the same carry distance as a Qi10 max 5 wood at 19°? They would just come out in different windows and roll out obviously
I hate hybrids, but I can’t get mine out of my bag. There are just enough times when the lie means a 2-3 iron or a 5 wood won’t get good contact on the ball when a hybrid can.
This has been haunting me for a long time. Literally have all of those. 5 wood too high too strong Hybrid too high too strong Utility mid height too short literally built a 18* hybrid with 3 iron length taking it to the range today
Good stuff guys. Yet another reason to get professional fittings! I have a Utility iron and 5 W that I use depending on the day/weather and the course. Some days I just hit one better because my swing is a little bit tighter/looser.
It’ll be as he kept missing the green. The FSX software tends to have the ‘fairway’ far bouncier than the green hence why shots that land short shoot through the green but if it lands just on, it stops quick.
@ianfrasergolf my point is that Club Champion does fittings for alot of different brands, and yet you choose to make comparison videos using the same 3 brands over and over. It gets boring to watch the same manufacturers get compared over and over. PXG and Cobra both make a great hybrid. Where are they in your videos? Wilson is making some great irons, where are they? Even Mizuno barely rates a mention in most of the videos.
If you’re a true equipment junkie you’ll just buy all three and claim you need it for “seasonal conditions”
😂😂😂 don’t you talk about me like that
Truth....
So true 😂 in my case below 4w it’s 7w,4h and driving iron 4i on rotation
lol. This
don't forget keeping half a dozen putters or so and different bounce options in the wedges 🤣🤣
Oh my, this is so on point. I have a 2i, 5w and 3hybrid all with 18 deg. It basically comes down to ball flight and the course. I love 2i off the tee in summer running down the fairway, and 5w for second shots into long par 4s and 5s. The 3h generally stays in the garage :D

Recently bought a used TSR2 5wood and it's by far my favorite club in my bag.

You could also take the utility iron and open the loft up a bit. It seemed your directional accuracy was better with the utility iron.

Did you try cutting it down? Seriously, taking a 0.5” off will drop the peak height 10ft with only losing a couple mph of ball speed
It’s funny guys, I am going through this same issue right now. Good thing for the 90-day playability program.

Would be nice to see golfers with average swing speeds take part in tests like this.
Problem with about 90% of golfers is that they don’t have the speed for a 2 iron to be efficient. 5 wood might also be very similar to the 3 wood and often times like with Mikey is that the 3 wood is often kept in the bag during a round of golf.

24* t100 4 iron 210 yards 39" ventus hybrid shaft
You spent $650 for an extra 10 yards at the long end of your bag.... De-loft the driver to 11 degrees 275yds?
I hate hybrids, but I can’t get mine out of my bag. There are just enough times when the lie means a 2-3 iron or a 5 wood won’t get good contact on the ball when a hybrid can.
Wouldn't the AoA change dramatically if you change your ball position at setup more so than the length of the shaft?
Both would influence it.
Which foresight software is this? FSX play?
Fsx2020
This has been haunting me for a long time.
Literally have all of those.
5 wood too high too strong
Hybrid too high too strong
Utility mid height too short
literally built a 18* hybrid with 3 iron length taking it to the range today
5 wood or hybrid cut short
Why not go a super super forward cg 5w?
So what you’re saying is…fitting doesn’t matter!!!
Good stuff guys. Yet another reason to get professional fittings! I have a Utility iron and 5 W that I use depending on the day/weather and the course. Some days I just hit one better because my swing is a little bit tighter/looser.
3 wood has highest ball speed, launch and spin but the least carry and most roll? Methinks the launch monitor needs to be recalibrated.
It’ll be as he kept missing the green. The FSX software tends to have the ‘fairway’ far bouncier than the green hence why shots that land short shoot through the green but if it lands just on, it stops quick.
they really need to take the green out and just have a flag marker.
@@jamesdaw131 I hear you. That means the 3 wood is the shortest club of the three. Still a bit strange to me!
@@zazhou it’s a 5 wood. And it’s because he launches it too high with too much spin.
@@krusher74 roll out is so course dependent. You just need to look at carry and descent angle.
A spin story, no?
Yes that’s part of it, but it’s a 3 dimensional problem. What creates more/less spin and what creates face rotation.
So I guess we are gonna watch the slow death of this channel over the next 2 months as prerecorded videos go out. End of an era. :(
What exactly is happening?
All good things must come to an end ...unfortunately
Think of all the extra time we'll have to actually go play golf😊
Literally every channel of any stature pre records and archives their videos, with a scheduled release and schedule done......
better than listening to them schlep more club champion garbage 🤷🏻♂️
Who is this video for? If you don't drive it longer than 250, have a 4W and 7W. Shouldn't even be messing with 18 degree clubs lol.
You guys realize there are more than 3 club manufacturers right?
What’s your point?
@ianfrasergolf my point is that Club Champion does fittings for alot of different brands, and yet you choose to make comparison videos using the same 3 brands over and over. It gets boring to watch the same manufacturers get compared over and over. PXG and Cobra both make a great hybrid. Where are they in your videos? Wilson is making some great irons, where are they? Even Mizuno barely rates a mention in most of the videos.
