Love the channel !! I am 65 yrs old and I have found that a 5 wood and a 7 wood give me the best options for a smother swing with much less effort and much more accuracy than my hybrid clubs.

Love your channel Matt!
I am now using a Ping G430 2 Hybrid, 4 Hybrid, and 5Hybrid. 5-PW TaylorMade P790 irons, vokey 50, 54, 58 wedges.
Inside on trackman, I was only hitting the 3 Wood a little further than the 2 Hybrid. I love the 2 hybrid. It's a GREAT fairway finder. And I can hit stinger type shots with it. Also use it for punch outs from bad lies. Works great. I feel very comfortable with it compared to a 3 wood, probably due to the shorter shaft. I play 99% at my same local course, so it works for me. I did consider ditching the 5 hybrid for a 3 wood, but the 5 hybrid proves to be very valuable from bad lies, and when I need to get the ball up over a tree. So for rest of this year, I am sticking to this setup.

I actually have a 4 hybrid, 5 wood and a 3 wood. Recently dropped my 4 iron for the 4 hybrid since I was hitting it much more consistently

Earlier this year I had a 5 wood in the bag and a 3 wood, I didn’t really see a huge difference in the distance so during the off season I went out and did a few test for different 5 wood but was recommended a 7 wood. After hitting the Cobra F9 7 wood, I decided to pick it up and put it in my bad along with a 3 wood. It’s better for me as a sort of mid handicap player. But at the end of the day it always comes down to what will help your game and what you prefer

Callaway Maverick 5 wood is some club guys easy to use, high launch lands soft. Great club all round. I have to agree with Matt on this one. Happy golfing from Ireland lads 🏌️⛳🇮🇪

I love my 5W! It's easy to hit of the deck and fits perfectly between with the distances I get from my driver and my irons.

My hybrid is the best club in my bag, feel so comfortable using it, its a 3 hybrid so that rules me out using a 5 wood.

Hey Matt. Love the channel. I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned going with a 16.5 deg. 4 wood only, then a 21 deg. hybrid. I bought a demo Titleist set with that set up and it seems to work. The TS 2 16.5 goes almost as far as my old TM 3 wood and is far easier to hit off the deck.

[liquidsmokemustang]

I appreciate your personality and character in your videos Matt. The set I’m using, which I only have about 15-20 rounds with, I can’t say I’ve ever pulled the the 3 or 5 wood except at the range. But I haven’t been out in about 5 years now. Maybe time for a change as I do rely on my wedges more (probably cause I miss so many greens LOL.

[Doctoberfest]

As a new golfer (first round was end of May) I'm fairly decent with my irons as that's what I practiced with off the bat. My driver and woods are what get me in trouble the most. Pouring up a can of SLICE. Hybrids allow me to get some extra distance without losing my ball to the woods

[mikereed]

I am a fan of 4 woods...it is the tweener fairway wood.

[dougmoore]

Hi Matt, great channel. I believe I am a little goofy, but I use a g425 Max 5 wood set at 16.5° with a 3 wood shaft. Choked down I hit this 210ish and full swing 250. The second is my g425 Max 7 wood set at 20° to fill the gap after my g425 5 iron. These two clubs are easier to hit than any other’s I’ve tried. Keep up the great content.

[DrGretaGolf]

I hardly ever carry/use a 3W anymore. I totally love my Titleist 5W. Enjoyed the discussion here!

[jimgovostes]

Matt, I am an older golfer (77), and I still hit the ball long. I am usually 255 to 260 off the tee with driver. I carry both a 3 and a 5 wood. The 3 wood is a strong 3 at 13 degrees and a stiff shaft although Taylormade is proposing I move to the new SIM2 Max 3 wood which I will likely do. The 5 wood is an old M1 model and I will be getting the new SIM2 model soon to go with my new 3 Wood. SIM2 Max Driver came 2 weeks ago and I love it. As you can guess, Taylormade has my specs which haven't changed much in 5 years. I am lucky to have good genes and be able to do what I do today. But I have never loved the 4 wedge system. DOn't carry a 60 degree as it is a club I never hit well. I learned a lot iabout hitting a sand wedge when I lived in Europe and can do a lot of fancy shots with it. So I have 2 hybrids for the 3 and 4 irons, 5 - SW for irons. With the current 3 wood, off the deck isn't easy for me. That all may change with the new club, we chall see. But I want to thank you for the video, kind of confirmed my idea of the 3 woods staying in the bag.

[MrAndrewThompson]

I replaced my 3 wood with a 5 wood 3 months ago and will never look back my handicap has dropped by 3 strokes. 16 to 13.

[harveyrousejr.]

I'm still old school hitting Ping G20 5, 3 and driver. I purchased an Adams Golf hybrid (22 degree I think) about 10 years ago and never really adapted my swing to play it consistent. I finally gifted it to my golfing mentor and he loves it.

On saturday I took some of what i've learned on this channel and shot my best score yet. Most of my success maybe from switching out my bladed wedges for cavity back wedges to match the irons i play. I went with one cleveland cbx 50 degree. A week ago I shot 10 over through 9 holes, this week I shot 3 over through 9!!! unprecedented and hope to repeat my success!

[Chris-qjdo]

I dropped the 4 iron and kept the hybrid. I use 3w, 5w and 4 hybrid with 5-9 with 4 wedges!

[adamallsopp]

Smokin them fairway woods Mr SG! I'm a Driver, 3 wood, 5 wood guy. All I need.
