Woods, Hybrids, or Long Irons - Which Should You Play? 🤔

[@freethinker4432]

Paige is like a breath of fresh air is this crazy world we live in! Keep up the great work Paige!

[@bobsanders8030]

I use them all. Depends on the day and the course conditions. And if I've been playing or practicing a lot. It's a skill game. Beer can help sometimes.

[@mmess65]

Nice post✌ As a 5 handicap and 95mph Swing Speed, I've converted into 1,3,5 Ping G400 woods and 4, 5, 6 Tour Edge hybrids!! Gone are my 3 through 6 irons ⛳

[@bmurray330]

7:10 “Wow. Wow. That’s impressive.” I couldn’t agree more. 👊

[@BKellyS]

I couldn't agree more, I ended up with the same clubs you talk about, the longest iron is a 5, then TM Aeroburner 4 Hybrid, then 5W and 3W G400 Ping. My 4H, 5W and 3W are all high loft to help my elevation. This is the first time I have felt I have the right clubs in that range. I do still keep my 4 iron around just to punch out under trees but probably don't really need it. I don't hit it any further than my 5 iron generally.

[@johnmonteagudo8164]

Keeping an open mind is so true. I went in thinking I wanted a Callaway but I hit the Ping Driver better so got that. Trust the fitter. Also, lovely dress.

[@rogermcvay499]

You have such a perfect swing!! I have lost my swing on irons 3 through 7…. I’m dealing with hybrids now. Your video helped an old man to continue enjoying a frustrating game…lol

[@tommyputt184]

What you said about rolling your hands over really clicked for me. I was'nt always thinking about that simple technique when I'm trying to hit it straight or with a draw. I went to the range and everything clicked for the most part. It's so much easier to hit with power when I consciously think about rolling my hands over at impact. I feel like an idiot for not figuring it out for myself. Thanks Paige!!!

[@fretless05]

You forgot about another option, utility irons. I am a 15 HC and play 4 and 5 utility irons and a 3 hybrid. The bit of extra beefiness in the utilities really help me launch them, and I do. It actually surprises me how well I play those irons considering my handicap. They are certainly an option people should consider.

[@Chuck-be7ed]

Thanks for helping this new golfer of age 60 understand golf in ways I can put into practice. Enjoy your authentic personality and passion for golf.

[@bobbys4327]

She is really savvy about her clubs and what works and what doesn't. I played yesterday and hit my Calloway Epic Flash 5 wood for the first time and absolutely hammered it....love it! I used to not have one but I got old and gimped up and now it is very handy. I think like all really good players Paige could hit anything! I would have a heart attack playing with her though lol!

[@tomduncan3822]

You have a consistent swing. Practice, practice, practice.

[@davidgrantwilliams5131]

Extremely smart Paige! Your success is defined by consistency of swing, tempo which inspires confidence. Practice makes perfect and you've obviously invested thousands of hours fine-tuning your extremely reliable swing. Way to go!

In August 2016, Spiranac competed in her first LPGA Qualifying Tournament, attempting to earn a card to play on the professional circuit;[23] she was unsuccessful. Spiranac was again invited to play at Dubai in December 2016.[2] After missing the cut once again,[24] she has not played professional golf since.

[@Labgorilla]

@@ecupirate0023 true sir. Rick Shields is also a pro who hasn’t achieved much on tour. But he has over a million subscribers. Maybe David just loves her swing? I’m not a fan nor a subscriber of either, just to be clear.

[@davidgrantwilliams5131]

@@ecupirate0023 Paige Spiranac is infinitely more important to golf than playing on the LPGA Tour. She's developed a "World-Wide" brand and has millions of fans. She is an absolutely BRILLIANT Marketer and exceptionally intelligent. She created a business model that does not require her to sweat results on the Pro Tour or have her income tied to her ability to produce. In the process she has created a successful small business, which inspires others to do the same. I was riding along in a golf cart with a pro at a tour event. My friend was talking to one of his buddies who was playing in the tournament. The Un-named pro was lamenting how he tweaked his back early in the year and had to sit out for 6 months before he could get back and play. In the meantime, bills started stacking up and so did increased pressure to perform. He said he was dreading the next few months attempting to make back all the money that he didn't earn during his time off to recuperate. Paige doesn't have to worry about that. She can have fun playing golf. One of Paige's greatest assets is her relatability to her fans. Many pros and instructors act like they have some sort of great secret and the real secret is a lot of practice. Paige is superb at breaking down the shots and explaining the solution and then showing "how" to hit the shot without pretense or ego. Touring pros come and go but I am thoroughly convinced Paige Spiranac will be around the golf world for as long as she wants. I sincerely hope she continues to convert opportunities into ongoing business success as she expands her horizons in the pursuit of her version of the American Dream!

[@davidgrantwilliams5131]

@@Labgorilla you're "dead-on" accurate! Paige's ability to positively communicate to multiple demographics coupled with her enthusiasm is a tremendous asset. She is a marketing genius. As you so adeptly pointed out, it's irrelevant whether Paige plays on tour or not, she's cut out a niche and has developed a significant business enterprise in the process which does NOT tie her income to high-stress performance on the pro tour. She's figured out a way to play golf, have fun and help others enjoy the sport. In addition, she's worked hard to create a "World-Wide" brand with the ability to partner with companies to leverage their brands in a "Win-Win" formula. Way to go Paige!! Keep charging forward and living your version of the American Dream! Way to set the pace for others to follow!~

[@Rubberbandman0529]

Back when I used to golf, I preferred irons over wood. Obviously they’re lighter, so I prefer the extra speed you get while swinging

[@jordy7540]

Cool idea for a vid! I never thought I’d own a hybrid but now one of my fave clubs in the bag!!

[@gregkistner1955]

She definitely explaines things very well.

[@duncanhamilton3286]

Great advice! I had distance bunching at the top end of my bag. I now stop at 6 iron (JPX 919 HM, which have 5* gaps lower in the bag so mid and long irons get quite strong) and go 23* 5 hybrid, 21* 7, 19* 5, and 15* 3 wood, plus driver. 7 wood is so much easier to hit than my old JPX Fli Hi 4 hybrid, which, at 19* was more like a 3 hybrid in other models. There are a lot of headcovers in the bag but it works for me!

[@bobburch2151]

Great video I really enjoy your videos so much and how you explain everything so well

[@larryhuggins6011]

My 5 wood is one of my favorite clubs in my bag. Thanks for tips and how to vids.

[@kymstock1852]

I put a Cobra F9 5 wood head ( 17 *) on a 3 wood shaft to get the height and better ball speed/ distance, then a TS2 21* 7 wood, then hybrids up to 29 degrees. The hybrids are Cobra Single length 19 * ( a very versatile club, then a Cobra F7 set at 25* and a TS2 at 29*. The SL Hybrid give a lower flight, very easy to shape and good for punch shots and chipping in wet heavy conditions.

[@babernethy13574]

Nice! Consistent, beautiful sound! Love the sound of well struck ball!!

[@ditssman]

I have a 7 wood but have never thought about Hybrids till today. thanks for the demo Paige

[@gtplumbing2004]

Paige has a real nice swing pattern. I have completely moved on from long irons. Longest Iron I carry is a 6. Hybrids got my game back where I want it.

[@sG-fn9mv]

The biggest thing for anyone is the proper Golf Swing and the proper Golf Swing through each club. If you don't have the fundamentals down then your still on step one. The proper GOLF SWING is dynamic and tough. Once you get the Golf Swing down then worry about what irons, woods even expensive equipment your gonna buy! If the ball still slicing, topping, chunking, blading, too far chip, too short chip.... The right Golf Swing puts it in the fairway and in the pin Everytime. Eagle, birdie shots all day long. It takes a lot of practice, patience, lessons, and getting your body to do exactly what is needed in the Golf Swing. The difference between Professional and everyone else is the Right Golf Swing!!! Next to putting. Not easy either!

[@dfors2001]

The booth operator is *definitely* analyzing the trajectory of the ball after she takes a swing! :D

[@rj9617]

Very useful tips. Your swing looks great! Fantastic dress! 5 iron is as low as I go.

[@SuperPacificcoast]

Thank you for all your advice Paige, my score has improved since listening to your videos and you look great in your golf outfit.

[@shakes2966]

i watched a txg video over a year ago. na yeon choi was getting a gap testing done. ian made the same suggestion. taking her 3 hybrid out and putting a 5 wood in the bag

[@ewaz6196]

I've been thinking about the Epic Speed 3 wood for a little while....I just put the Epic Max LS driver in my bag, I'm curious about the fairway wood now too. Honestly....I've tried hybrids but I always hit them a bit too high and/or didn't like the feel...but I have a 2 and 3 iron that I've had for 15 years that I'm just comfortable with especially because I hit the ball high and I often play in windy conditions so I think based on habit and feel I still am in the long iron/driving iron category.

[@frankiezinetti201]

I just got the epic speed 3 wood. It is nice! Effortless distance. Doesn't go too high either. Love the ball flight from it

[@beimsteiner]

Off the tee, I'd rather hit a five wood than a three hybrid, but I carry the hybrid for getting out of the rough. Starting to hit a nine wood as a security blanket to take the pressure off the full middle iron shots if my swing/body isn't all there

[@Rohan-ne4pp]

Great advice Paige. Shopping for clubs is a hard thing to do, so having a open mind is the only way to do it. Golf is hard enough so we need to get what helps our game the most, no matter what brand name is on the club

[@DaTooch_e]

I like my 3 hybrid. I hardly use my 4 hybrid and I don't use fairway woods, but I'll give what you said a shot. Sometimes with my favorite club thats all I like to play but going in with open mind is definitely a good idea and will do next time.

[@sidneydona846]

Love Your Dress!..i Had a Big Gap Between 4 iron & 3 Wood n i Had a 4 Hybrid..Realized My 4 Hybrid was the Same Distance as 4 iron..Recently Bought a 3 Hybrid..Absolutely Love it..Hit it Off the Tee on Many Holes as it's Become My Old Reliable Now..Was Thinking About 3 Hybrid or 3 Driving Iron in the Ping Crossover..Glad with My Decision Because i Struggle w/ Long Irons..Tough for Mi to Try Other Clubs..i'm a Ping Loyalist n All 14 of My Clubs and Bag are Ping & Love Every One..i Started Off with a Callaway Big Bertha & Can Hit Just About Any Club but I'm Just Too Loyal to My Brand..Also My Driver Broke Once n They Fixed it for Free..Got a Customer for Life..Play the Ping G25 Driver & Still Love it As Much as When i First Got it..If it Breaks Prob Just Pick Up a New One for a Fraction of the Price of a New Driver..Love Your Video's..Have a Blessed One!..💚✌🏽

Your timing, accuracy, consistancy, balance, power, speed in your swing; I couldn't have ever beaten you. I watched a video of you playing wall ball the other night; basically long distances, down the middle. The haters don't have a clue what they are talking about.

[@TLRChad]

I'm willing to be you have a Tour Edge C721 driver. When I was fit last summer they, the fitters, had me try a Tour Edge EXS Pro. I was surprised when they said Tour Edge. I hit it and was amazed by the performance.

[@jvee2901]

I love my hybrids. Have an M2 and a GS400. 3 and 4 respectively. I've crushed at times and hit short at times.

[@noControl556]

I like how they have a nice pitching / chipping green at the front of the range. Once I start feeling tired at the range I like to finish out the bucket pitching.

[@waynegsweat2596]

Yeah, I regularly played the 3 iron. Gotta rethink that.

[@thecringegolfer]

I was a long iron fan for a long time and then made a tweek in my swing and got older and just couldn't hit them as well anymore. Tried hybrids and while I gained height, I lost distance. But I got a 3w that has 17° of loft (almost a 5w) and I can hit it off the deck almost as long as the driver.

[@thecringegolfer]

I am going to sue these people

[@ryanscott6386]

I have a set of Taylor Made blades and there is nothing better than hitting a long iron pure but I definitely have better success with my cobra hybrids.

[@lavin214]

The longest iron I play is a 4. I used to be a hybrid guy, 3 and 4 hybrid and 5-p. Now it's 4--p and 3 and 5 wood. My 5 wood is my best friend. The closest club champion to me is over and hour away, I think I'm going to get fit for a driver in January.

[@mferry32]

Hi Paige, I'm sure you are already working on this, but a ball tracker when demoing your shots would be extremely helpful so we can see where your shots are going. Once they leave the face it's impossible to track them with the view you show us. On your video to hit a fade/draw, that would have been extremely helpful. Keep up the great work!

[@jacoe33333]

Maybe the shaft in that 3 hybrid is not according to spec. Maybe swap the shafts from your 4 to your three. Maybe that could be the reason. just a suggestion. I would say you only need a 3 hybrid as you can adjust the loft down or up unless if you really need a 2 or 1 to use it from the tee allot.

[@BOOGiNS]

I dont really need my hybrid for distance, but my hybrid hits a very good calculated draw. It gets me up the fairway if im hugging the left side and need to bend it

[@jamesg6177]

Used to play long irons and fairway woods, though the irons were better suited to my game. The woods had regular shafts and over time I found them inconsistent unless I had a smooth swing. Have now moved to a 2 and 4 hybrid and irons from 5 downwards

[@MarkR1214]

I moved to a strong 3 wood and a 4?wood to add distance and got rid of my 3 iron which I couldn’t hit. For some reason I can crush my 4 and 5 irons so now I feel I have the right gapping for my game. However, I think I will make an appt just to see if anything can be tweaked. Good advice and thanks for suggestions Paige

[@Cortanarama]

Saving money after just fronting house repairs, but I'm assuming it's better to get fitted clubs earlier rather than later, right? Better to get used to the clubs you're going to be using long term. I just have to figure out how many times/year makes it worth it because last weekend was maybe 5th 9-hole round in 2 yrs, so definitely still working up to it.
