5 IRON VS 5 HYBRID | WHAT THE NUMBERS SAY

Today, I visit the 5 Iron vs 5 Hybrid debate. Which club should you hit as a shorter hitter? Which will work out of the rough or fairway? I attempt to give you some information that may help you decide. I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for the Easter laugh! I'm a 5 hybrid man these days. Actually 3h, 4h, 5h... Have a blessed holiday MSH!

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you Brian!

[@cito4633]

I kid myself thinking that I can still (predictably) hit a 3,4, or 5 iron… I’m going to be testing hybrids this week! PS - The “supporting actresses” crack me up 😂. Cheers, MSH!

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you so much!

[@survivinwithrahlowb8622]

Love my Hybrids. Actually started with a 5h, added a 6 then a 3 and eventually a 4. Ended up taking the 4h out due to gapping being so close between it and the 5. I have now taken my 5FW out and have added a 2h. Great video,

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you for watching!

[@montymeyer7172]

Funny you're talking about 5 irons today. My last shot today was a 155 yd par 3. Stuck it 2 feet from the pin with my 5i and an easy swing. Been feelin like a Playa all day, even though I'm not! Still waiting on my new Takomos. Afraid I'll be chasing my tail for awhile trying to get used to the new/different lofts. I have a 4 hybrid and need to use it more. You've inspired me again. Going to start pulling it out of the back a bit more. Happy Easter.

[@mistahshorthitter]

You got it Monty! 5 irons are nice off a tee but can be a challenge off the ground. Thank you so much for watching!

[@petrotmyrcz308]

5h is a great club, but some of my most memorable golf shots were with a 5 iron. It doesn't scare me in the least. In fact, I will always have it in my bag. In the old days, we used to do iron fitting with 5 irons. It was then considered a mid iron vs a long iron nowadays.

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you for watching! Whatever you hit the best is my theory.

[@DrPapa14]

I like my Mizuno 923 5 iron. Another fantastic video. Love the helpful information

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you!

[@Grayback1973]

Man, this video is right on time! I have been seriously thinking about putting a 5 hybrid in the bag and pulling the 5i out. I'll be watching this before I go to sleep later.......thanks MSH!!!

[@mistahshorthitter]

You got it!

[@scrtchglfr]

New subscriber here. Catching up on your past vids. Your vid sealed the deal on getting the Tacoma's. Thank you, great content!

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you!

[@vkar4992]

Thanks for this MSH, very useful! A few months ago I dropped the 5 iron (23 degree) for a 5 hybrid (25 degree) mainly as I’m not getting the height and carry. The hybrid is actually nearer my 6 iron loft (26 degree) but fits in nicely in that 5 iron space and works great in these winter months. Now thinking of possibly switching the 4 hybrid for a 7-8 wood in that gap with my 5 wood but not sure whether to keep the hybrid or go with another fairway wood.

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you for watching!

[@hb-ze4ug]

Keep the hybrid. It's more versatile (they used to be called rescues 🙂) and stops quicker on the greens. I dumped my beloved 5 wood and went full set 3-PW hybrids plus 3 cavity-back wedges instead of blades. I went from being a sorry masochist to a happy ball-striker, hence my handle (hb) 😁

[@galemurphy4914]

Funny commercial. Like the creativity. Great video comparing the 5i and 5hybrid. Like the 5i for punching out over the 5 hybrid.

[@mistahshorthitter]

You don't ever have to punch out Gale! 😁

[@darrinlygrisse5287]

I carry both. 2 different clubs for 2 different situations.

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you for watching!

[@rickmaag5024]

One of your best videos ever. I play a lot of public courses and you don’t often get a good lie. Hybrids are becoming a bigger part of my game.

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you so much Rick! I play mostly public courses myself.

[@briankitsemble1686]

Absolutely great video.

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you so much!

[@RustyPutter62]

Good video,thanks for doing it.

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you for watching!

[@bradleyrounds9148]

Happy Easter all. I, like dhobious, have taken the 3 and 4 irons out of the bag. Keeping the 5 iron to punch out my Easter eggs from under the trees HA. Nah i can hit the 5 but i have more confidence in my hybrids. ( carry Hywood, 3 and 4 hybrids)

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you Bradley!

[@rondarling751]

Excellent video 😊

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you!

[@duvie2954]

I dumped my game improvement Ping G430 5 Iron and added a 5 Hybrid. Great video, my friend. You just got a new subscriber.

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you so much!

[@billprokopowich6833]

A smooth hybrid, great hit! You swing a great club! Keep the videos coming, very inspiring. Thanks

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you for watching!

[@stm5275]

Thats a really nice looking swing you have there.

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you!

[@jonbuikema7399]

Good comparison. I've not had a 3-4 iron in my bag for pushing 20 years. 5 hybrid and carry 5 iron. something to consider on hybrids is if you have to punch out often they go higher for sure. That takes practice. Watch the lie angles on hybrids they can be more upright. I'm 56 now. Still have 78-80 7 iron speed and 98-100 DSS. Hcp 3.2

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you for watching!

[@petrotmyrcz308]

I also carry both for just the same reason.

[@danringo1122]

Great video

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you!

[@js4391]

Thank you for video, curious of your SS driver and what distances you hit all your clubs

[@mistahshorthitter]

Driver swing speed is 90. I have a couple videos of all my distances on the channel. Thank you for watching!

[@ZaxDrumsandGolf]

From what I see you are more for the hybrid!! You were striking it much better!! Happy Easter🐇😀

[@mistahshorthitter]

Happy Easter!

[@majormike1688]

I'm trying to decide between a 3/4 Ping G410 hybrid I have and getting a 7 wood instead. I just don't hit the hybrid well. Looking at some Sub 70 products for new irons, wedges and fairway woods (5 and 7). Current clubs are 30 years old except for the used driver (Cobra F9) and 3 wood (Ping G410) I bought from Global Golf.

[@mistahshorthitter]

Sub70 has good equipment.

[@dhovious6247]

Funny. I did the same thing the other day between. a six iron and six hybrid. In my case the six iron prevailed Like you however the 5 hybrid works better than the 5 iron for me. Thanks.

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you!

[@oldgold5848]

Great stuff MSH

[@bobney569]

Thanks for sharing MSH👍🏻 Hybrids for me I think !!

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you for watching!

[@ejslemp5342]

Great ad! 😂

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you!

[@kolchak3578]

I play Cleveland hybrid style irons, and I do carry the 5 iron. But I’m just as likely to choke down slightly on my 7 wood and hit that instead of the 5 iron. ⛳️

[@mistahshorthitter]

Sounds like a winner!

[@1averageamerican]

Ive been carrying a 4 hybrid and a 4i for about 2 months now. Been hitting them both in different situations and the hybrid is winning. I just feel more confident I'm going to strike it well.

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you!

[@rickcudmore8156]

I removed the 4i, 5i and 6i and replaced them with 3, 4, and 5 hybrids. Trying to make the game easier.

[@mistahshorthitter]

Same here!

[@JoeGodsill]

Do you plan on reviewing the Eleven Hybrids?

[@mistahshorthitter]

I emailed them but no response yet.

[@waynealexander7148]

Another belter 👍🏌🏿‍♂️

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you so much!

[@waynealexander7148]

I’ve now binned my 3, 4&5 iron Going with 18* 22* 26* hybrids soooo much easier I’m 66 &golf Is good

[@hb-ze4ug]

Are them girls real actresses? Looks like they're in their natural element. "Got it!" "Hey, that's my line." L😄O😃L

[@mistahshorthitter]

No. Thank you for watching!

[@manuelhernandez9448]

[@mistahshorthitter]

Sorry. Just added

[@manuelhernandez9448]
