5 Wood, Hybrid or Driving Iron? // Matt's 2021 Long Game Fitting

[@Kmeadows09]

I've been on a binge of TXG videos since KZbin put you in my recommended. I have no idea how you don't have millions of subscribers and millions of views. Bringing PGA level data and fitting advice to the scratch, low, mid, high, and recreational golfer. Great content keep up the good work!

[@maxguerryastro3076]

Hey guys, Callaway club fitter here. Callaway does offer the epic speed 7 wood in left handed. Get on in Matty!

[@jmanblob]

The video I needed! I started playing during a time where there was a stigma for playing high-loft woods.

[@jordancalanchini3496]

Even Adam Scott using a 7 wood these days

[@serenityinsilence]

I’ve been using my 5 wood forever. Stigma or no stigma if it helps my game, it goes in the bag.

[@natewilliamson9853]

I just picked up a hybrid on a whim, and it’s now my favorite club in the bag. Smooth, easy swings and it pokes one out there just under 250. Exactly what I needed- a club that can find the fairway every time with almost 0 effort. Great vid guys!

[@InsuranceSpecialist]

I'm literally living this bag issue right now. Spared no expense and have ultimately ended up with a 5 wood with a 7wood length shaft @ 107g. Also a lefty and also 120+ speed lol

[@d_budd7]

Another lefty with 120+ speed, didn’t know there was so many of us!😁 been putting this exact decision off for so long, should probably test out my options and get it over with at this point

[@rickshaw8926]

I did this 2 weeks ago. Replaced the top of my bag with G425Max D,3,5,7,&9 with i500 6-P Shot 76 on Monday. Best round in 6 years. Easy swing=high, straight ball flight with a hop and stop. Consistent 15 yard gaps. (5 days practice followed by 5 more days playing in a row certainly helped) 🤣 During my fitting the ball flight was so consistent and good I really said, “So this is what Matty boy feels like at TGX. Except this is his mid iron distances.”

[@klaymoon1]

Great video. These days I carry a Driver, 5 wood, 7 wood then 4 iron. No 3 wood or Driving Iron anymore because less stress was better. By sacrificing a little distance, my game has been more effortless and more enjoyable.

[@mcj1992GOE]

Lefty here, currently bagging the Cobra one-length and it's been a game changer for me. I carry the 4H (220 yd max) and 3H (240 yd max) in one-length. I carry a PING G425 2H (265 yd max) because I've had a better experience with hybrids vs. fairway woods. I mainly use my PING 2H off the tee, but I like the versatility & confidence I have in it from the fairway if I'm outside the yardage of my Cobra hybrids on a Par 5.

[@lukerichmond9177]

I’ve added a 4 hybrid and a 5 wood to my bag this year. Ping G425, 22*, neutral setting with ventus blue 9x and Tsi 2 5 wood, C4 setting with Ventus Red 8x. They have been a changer for me and has made the game easier for sure.

[@pdizzleforizzle34]

I'm the guy the driving iron is meant for. 1- for some reason I've always struck irons well and struggle with fairway woods. 2- it's always windy in Nebraska and controlling ball flight and keeping the ball low is at a premium. 3- I like versatility, shaping shots, hitting stingers, could never get that from a hybrid. Been playing a Srixon 3 Utility for about a year now and loving it. Love the comparison videos. When I was young I never realized that my 3-iron and 5-wood were basically going the same yardage in different ways. I was wasting valuable real estate in my bag! 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@peterrod16]

Fantastic video. Two years ago i did a ping fairway wood demo day and g410 5 wood is a beast. Now its my favorite club in the bag. Love to see the 7 wood test in a future video. Cheers

[@lindsaynewell6319]

Would love to see a Ping 7 wood fitting for Matt - will be looking at the top of my bag later this year. My current 240 yard approach club is a 5 iron.....followed by a 60 degree wedge!

[@michaelglassockcoaching]

Eyeing up a 7 wood myself so looking forward to it being reviewed

[@ajaytuk7416]

this part of the bag is nearly always course/weather dependent- so you should have the option of either ( imo :-)) in the boot

[@reganworld]

This is the correct answer, surprised Ian didn't mention it. 5W all day on a softer parkland course, good off the tee for dog legs where driver is too long, better stopping power on the greens, height to get over trees etc. 3i/Driving iron on a firm links course where the wind is up, you want that lower ball flight that will run on the fairway, and you can run it up to the greens. 5W just has far too high a ball flight with the wind on this sort of course.

[@joetato2227]

I totally agree, I'm most consistent with 5W but own and will switch hybrid and driving iron if needed for course or conditions.

[@theamateurgolferuk]

Great as always guys ! The only part of the bag I constantly change depending on conditions and how I am striking it. Tricky to get the right blend !

[@ianwoollard2063]

I would’ve thought that Matt was the kind of player that would handle a driving iron well enough to make it a worthy inclusion to his bag. I’m always fascinated by the tuning and analysis that you put into building clubs. I’d love to see some of Matt’s practice sessions and any lessons he might receive on the channel. Thanks for another great video 👍🏻

[@matiasmyllyla]

This is the exact video i needed, great one as always🔥

[@kaisersoze6685]

Epic speed does offer a left handed 7 wood. I have one with a DI-7S and love it.

[@ajsamis]

I was going to say that too.. epic speed LH 7w exists.

[@tuxediomafia]

I am a Lefty as well and recently have been doing the same thing as Matt, as I agree with him on the driving irons. I had a fitting with Titleist and tried the same 5 wood, hybrid etc,. and then the fitter popped out a TSi1 hybrid. Talk about easy to hit and omg the perfect distance. If you have one of these heads kickin about, get Matt to try it

[@bradtilitzky7146]

low 80s golfer and cant hit hybrids and woods without hooking like crazy, almost the y word. bought a king utility iron after watching your vid and love it so far.

[@marvelousoppie7284]

Hit a hybrid for a while and recently bought the new Srixon ZX 5 wood and I absolutely love it

[@beatfarmbeats]

I’ve recently replaced my 4i with a hybrid and I couldn’t be happier. No only do I hit way more consistent and accurate shots but I’m even way more confident playing the club out of suboptimal lies. I personally think that’s where a hybrid shines the most over a driving iron and fairway wood. I’m now replacing my 5w with another hybrid. Depending on courses I’ll switch between them but I currently have more self confidence with hybrids for sure. Definitely should have considered this setup sooner.

[@mikewaldie7707]

Not sure when you film these but by the time you finish Matty’s bag the season will be over 😂

[@djgargaro8278]

@@Unknown-rb3ip I live in Toronto where they film these, they reopened golf courses 2 weeks ago however with covid safe rules so not 100% the same

[@thomasgoode7322]

This is a big one in my brain on the course. I find I am lacking a "confidence club" into the wind off the tee. Hybrid is usually consistent but would prefer a lower flight to push the ball through the wind.

[@cjlafleur7585]

PXG makes a lefty 7W. You should really give them a try. Their clubs have a lot of custom weighting options too so you could really dial Matt in.

[@ericft1]

I love my 2016 M2 5hl which is really a 7 wood. Great option for the bag for 225, 4 iron 200 and 3 wood 245. A 7 wood is making comeback and Matt would do great with one. He can knock it down or hit it high. Also great out of the rough.

[@melabshier5812]

Mizuno 5 wood for Lefties...waiting on it..😁😁😁 🏌️ Ian and Matty, get with Vosh, make it happen.

[@Somefatdude]

I think it depends on the course. For off the tee, if you’re on a tight, tree-lined course, sometimes it’s better to use a driving iron to hit a low bullet with a flat face instead of a rounded faced hybrid or wood. However, if the course is wet, more open, or you’re not using this club off the tee as much as approach shots, then go for a hybrid or fairway wood.

[@mikewilliams1479]

I needed this video so badly. I have the 4iron to 3wood gapping issue too. Great vid - gave me a lot to think about !

[@Fufiloofa]

I play both 5wood and driving iron, and removed the 3w since it was only a few yards longer at best than the 5wood anyway. Driving iron for into wind and 5w for height and calmer days.

[@claytonjohnston25]

I have a 3w, 5w, DI, and 3i that I rotate in and out depending on course, conditions, and how I’m feeling that particular day.

[@jubuttib]

3W, 5W, DI for me. When my old set finally got beaten up enough to leave behind, my replacement iron set didn't come with a 3i, so buying a driving/utility iron was a no-brainer. 5W is easier to get airborne and a bit longer, but indeed for lower shots in heavy wind, long punch shots, and some drives into tight fairways the DI is just the ticket.

[@andrewgoslin2717]

7 wood video please! Compare that vs hybrid, then vs 5 wood with 7 wood length shaft.

[@ProspectingLife]

Doesn’t look like they’ve done the 7 wood length 5 wood build as of yet but I also would love to see it. 👍🏼

[@justins2407]

This video is exactly where I’m at right now, 3 handicap so I’m not as good as Matt but a pretty decent golfer and I’m exactly where he is with this spot in the bag. Sim2 udi Ventus black 95x, sim2 rescue GD DI 85x and ping g425 7wood Accra tz5 (I think) 85x all have been rotating in and out of my bag. I’ve pretty much illuminated the driving iron due to same window as you discussed and it’s a back and forth between the 3 hybrid and 7wood. Numbers are very similar to Matt 4 iron carry is 232 on last gapping session and 3 hybrid is 245 on the dot with the loft weakened a hair. Recently got the 7wood so I haven’t had it gapped yet but just from my eye it’s around the same 245 mark. 7wood is definitely easy to hit and can be a little hindering when the wind picks up Vs the hybrid but for me is a touch easier than the hybrid. I’ll be very curious to see y’all’s next video with this when you build the 5wood to a more 7wood specked club for Matt. In reality depending on course you play if you don’t have but maybe 1 or 2 shots requiring that 270ish 3 wood shot it’s almost beneficial to pull 3 wood out of the bag and have the hybrid and 5 wood in instead. That’s another battle I’m facing with my set up lol. Now you have two good windows at similar yardages with the choice of flying the 5 wood 10 yards further if needed but also the super high fade with the 5 wood if needed. Ahhh the choices! Cheers guys keep up the good content 🤙🏻

[@justinstephenson9360]

For people like me with a fairly average swing speed the choice is simple, has to be a 5w and I will probably replace my 3h with a 7w

[@canyonaro]

Try the 20 degree Callaway Super Hybrid

[@andershaukoos]

Would love to see a version of this a little farther down in the bag. A 4 iron vs Utility/forgiving 4ion vs 4 hybrid!

[@stevenrobertson1416]

I'm all about the 5 & 7 wood options! For the majority of courses/golfers it's the better choice. Love these!!

[@059750]

"I don't think there's any need for anyone to work unduly hard from 240 yards out" ...... Can I tee it up and hit driver? lol I know Matty is in a different class. Just made me chuckle.

[@chrishartman5383]

I just added a 5W and 9W to the bag. Mavrik Max for both. Easiest clubs I've ever hit. Even if I just give them a nice easy swing, they still get up in the air easily. And I can put a bit more muscle into the swing, get 20 more yards, but they stay nice and straight.

[@JohnFishburne1]

I love the look of a 5 woods at address. I think it is good to have a hybrid and a 5 wood. Change based on course conditions.

[@featherfoot614]

I like the way you're thinking.

[@40Rouge]

7-wood is a game changer for me. I think a lot of golfers could benefit from using a 7w.

[@Pfuetz4]

I'm thinking of switching to a 7w after hitting a few 9w's and experimenting with some different clubs. Just inspires a lot of confidence!

[@ahol9120]

I recently replaced my Callaway x2 hot pro hybrid with a TaylorMade sim udi 2 iron with graphite design tour ad di 105x! Holy schnikes is that club/shaft combo Amazing! I can't believe how high I can hit it as a driving iron. Its only club in my bag I can hit draws and fades high or low. Versatility is unreal its even great off the Fw. I thought the x2 hot would always be in bag but it's gone for good now!

[@seadog1062]

I know this won't be popular, but a 3 iron could be a nice add...maybe the T-100s for Matt to go with his current set. Plenty of length, flight the shot up and down, more versatile than a driving iron and more shot options than a hybrid. Would love to see how a set 3 iron might sit in the gap here, I absolutely love mine.

[@zacharymilos392]

If you guys could get some 7w vids coming that would be great. Kokrak had one in the bag for his W.... The higher lofted wood is really coming back in fashion.

[@okimike5963]

It’s nice to see that Matty is actually a human and not a machine! I got a 5w about 18mo ago and love it (usually). Actually just order a 7w and thinking to use it in place of my 5i. Good and bad days with the 5i, but it’s almost always too low and runny to play full swing into a green. Great for my loose interpretation of a stinger, but I’ve found I can make the same swing with my 5w.

[@txterbug]

I used to be a hybrid player but been hitting my 4 off the tee pretty well lately

[@MrAndrewThompson]

I started using the srixon zx5 and I could not believe how high it launches. It’s so nice to be able to hit a 3 iron that is more forgiving

[@The_sunday_lout]

Love this video, as a fellow leftie I have always struggle to fill the top end of the bag. 2 Thanks to Arccos I’ve found out the my 22* 915hD goes exactly the same distance as my four iron 210 average. Same flight but (as Matty said no video) “I don’t have to work as hard for it”. 4 iron is now out the bag and another wedge is in. Would love to do the same with the 2 iron in my bag. So come on fellas, Get Matty fit into a 5 wood with a shorter shaft… Fill that 7 wood space us lefties can’t easily buy off the shelf.

[@ericcosman1642]

As a lefty looking for a 7w, I know what you mean about there not being many choices Mr Fraser. Personally I'm leaning towards the Epic Speed, but I'll let the fitting session do the deciding. Great video as always gents. Thank you.

[@bradfordcotta5925]

I have the Ping G425 7-wood and I absolutely love it. It replaces my 19 degree hybrid...similar distance but higher launch and so easy to swing. Would love to see Matty try it.

[@kingly71]

Driving iron is a tough one to peg down.. i went thru 3 or 4 that, like Matty, worked at times but ultimately lost my confidence. Then I found this tour issue GAPR Lo (bonded head, no adapter). Such a great stick.. flies higher than most driving irons, but a heavy steel shaft just makes it work for me.

Great video guys I currently play a bangomatic 7 wood I'm also left handed and this is the easiest club to hit.

[@MrAd6126]

Excellent point made...how to achieve best solution/combinatio that gives you right gaping, accuracy and confidence with woods or hybrids. I‘m changing away from hybrids to 5 and 7 woods for said reason

[@milesotway4466]

I have ended up dropping a wedge out (now play PW@46, 52, 58) and kept both an 18 degree driving iron as a tee club and an 18 degree hybrid to do the job off the deck. Bit of a cheat not choosing but really works for me.

[@andreas_hs]

nice vid guys! I'm going till 5-iron and then play 4 and 3 hybrids, 22° and 19° with good 15-meters gap between the 5, 4 and 3. My driver goes somewhat further, so I might have a space for a 5 or 3 wood left.

[@ptwrestler14]

Question. I noticed you didn't use a short tee on these tests. (or at least I didn't notice) do you not tee up your driving irons/ woods off the tee box? Or is this test supposed to simulate your 2nd shots into a long par 5?

you really shouldn't be teeing these clubs much off the turf, so really all it would do is add some distance to the final tally

I’m heading back into a 5 or 7 wood after going driving iron for a few seasons. Feels like DIs were all the rage a few years ago and now it’s 7 wood. Just following the hype lol but no doubt woods are unquestionably easier to hit.

[@paqman78]

It's not just hype. You wouldn't want to hit a 7 wood on a windy day because it'll go nowhere. TXG did a video comparing 5 wood, hybrid, utility iron. Looks like you still need to watch it.

[@jubuttib]

@@paqman78 Aye, it's not just hype, but it is definitely something you need to think about. With so many bags featuring a gap wedge these days there isn't really much space left, and the driving iron and 7 wood both have very definite good and bad sides. Though I think personally a 7w is maybe more competition to a 4 iron for me than it would to a driving iron. Thankfully my set is old school enough that the spacing between 9, PW and SW is good, so no need for a gap wedge, I can have both a 5 wood and a driving iron.

[@samoliver3031]

I got a left handed ping G410 7 wood, xflex evenflow shaft. Absolutely love it. Occasionally swap it out for a srixon z85 2 iron if it's windy, but great having the option. 5 wood for me got a bit too close to the 3

Have replaced the top end of my bag recently. Epic flash sub zero 5 wood slotted in where the 3 hybrid was. Gives me more flexibility with longer shots. Two or three clubs in one in my opinion. Especially now I’m in my fifties, don’t need to stand on the long hybrid.

[@stevenhaynes7966]

Driving Irons/Long Irons are great when you hit them well, the problem is inconsistency, when off they will be way way off. I stay away from them! Hybrids are a better option for most golfers, as well as the 5 Wood. As a right handed golfer I do like the option of a 6 or 7 Wood, which you don’t have as a Lefty. I do carry a 5 Wood, 18 and 4 Hybrid at 22. Works for me.

[@Teme99]

[@scottwatson9479]

Another very interesting video because I have also been looking at replacing my 19 degree hybrid with a higher lofted fairway wood, I play my 15 degree 3 wood at 42" and carry it about 275 while I carry my 3 iron 230-235 so I am basically looking for a 250 club. I just feel that the standard length of most fairway woods these days is just too long, so I have been thinking along the same lines as Ian and I have recently thought about trying a 5 wood at 41" because I play in the wind quite often and I tend to launch most 7 woods way too high.

[@cwg1313]

I love my 3 hybrid, perfect 240 to 260 club but this video really makes me think about a 5W fitting

[@russwilliams2657]

Yay finally a 7 wood fitting coming

[@jubuttib]

Thankfully I'm in a happy position: My iron set is old school enough that a gap wedge doesn't have a place in it (the spacing between 9, PW and SW doesn't really have gaps, and I can throw a lobber at the end quite freely), but it doesn't have a 3 iron either, so I can put in a driving iron for the 3 iron slot, and still have room to put in a 5 wood. And as a plus, I really don't like hybrids, so that doesn't enter the discussion. I love both the driving iron and the 5 wood to bits. They might not be terribly different with the distance (tho the 5W is longer), but they have very different flights, and I have plenty of situations where I one is a better choice than the other, so both have a place.

[@kengoetz4567]

Just went though a fitting and replaced my 3W with a 5W turned down to 17deg with a 43" shaft and went with 3 and 4 hybrids each turned up 1 deg.

[@markroper1956]

Just love this channel…! Looking at a 5 wood myself.

[@rangeofmotion5993]

I prefer the fairway woods because of the ball flight. I'm not a long hitter so my 5-wood covers that distance between 200 and 220, depending on how aggressive I go at it. My 4-iron can carry up to 200 with really good contact, but average is around 190. I have been debating if I should just replace the 3-wood with a utility iron, but can't convince myself to do it.

[@ipotato95]

Before I watch the video, there’s nothing more confidence inspiring to me than a hybrid

[@mrfashizleboy9486]

I use a hybrid but kinda want to switch to a driving iron because the hybrid makes my brain think that I need to hit up on it and I tend to get thin with it. On the range I hit it fine and when it’s on the tee it smashes. Driving iron though just seems more preferable as well because I play in windier conditions. Thoughts?

@@Momo_8k It's just a technique issue. People in general do not understand how to play hybrids/fairway woods/driving irons off the deck. Any golf club with a wider sole that doesn't behave like a traditional iron should be played from the fairway wood position, which is just slightly more forward than irons and usually is played with a sweep. There's nothing wrong with these clubs, each club has its own strengths and weaknesses that fits into a particular shot.

Great video. Team 5W here.

Have Matty try the pxg proto 5 and 7 Woods- are adjustable lofts and can make fade biased

[@ProspectingLife]

Did the 7 wood build length in to a 5 wood head ever happen? Please link the video if so as I’m excited to see what you come up with. 👍🏼

Does the stz 5w not come in Lefty? I have it in 3w and 5w right handed.... best fairway wood I’ve ever owned by a country mile.

This is a good set up / condition topic.. I love a driving iron but only when its hot and windy.. for 80-90% of my rounds you couldn't pry the 5w out of my bag w dynamite.. bomb a shorter par 5 from almost any lie, toe it in for shots out of thin rough, and I have about a 99% expectation of a quality strike

I found the 5W is very versetile 200-230 yrds depending on swing.

[@kalemitchell1979]

I have a high swing speed as well. I go driver at 8*, 5w turned down to 17.25, then 3 iron at 20*. Tried the hybrid but I find it really hot and went way to far for the gap I was trying to get. Thinking about trying it again. Maybe a 4 hybrid to go into the 3 iron spot. Probably use it more than I do the 5w. Mostly a tee club so want something reliable

Perfect video been thinking a 5 wood or 3 hybrid. Playing off 7.
