The design of a hybrid allows more forgiveness than irons as the club face is larger and has a wider sweet spot for miss hits.
													
																	5 wood loft vs 4 hybrid. 
								
	
		
	
																	In short don t carry clubs that you can t confidently hit. 
																	Different strokes for different folks. 
																	5 wood almost identical to a 3 wood but with more loft 7 wood not commonly used today. 
																	Rather than carrying clubs like 4 5 and even 6 irons replacing these clubs with hybrids leads to more consistent contact. 
															
													
								
	
		
	
																	With my swing speed fairway woods might be old school but i m also old. 
																	Hybrids don t typically replace drivers because of a driver s low loft and large clubhead for distance. 
																	The 3 hybrid digs lesser into the ground than a 5 wood when making a swing. 
																	The 5 wood is at times not as versatile and easy to control as a 4 hybrid club. 
															
													
								
	
		
	
																	What s in my bag is a 17 loft 5 wood 210. 
																	Yards 20 loft 7 heavenwood wood 195 and a 24 loft 9 wood 180 yards all are callaway bb. 
																	I m one of those 6 10 group but i don t have a 3 wood or a 2 3 hybrid 3 4 5 iron. 
																	Could potentially replace a long iron strong hybrid i don t know if this is even a proper term but it will suffice a hybrid of 18 degrees or less. 
															
													
								
	
		
	
																	The clubs are suitable to replace your 3 wood or your 5 wood depending on their loft. 
																	Because of this many beginning to intermediate golfers elect to use a hybrid clubs instead of having a 3 or 4 iron. 
																	Adding additional fairway woods is not feasible as they are harder to hit and a 5 wood will go about the same distance as a 3 hybrid. 
																	Almost identical to 5 wood but with more loft. 
															
													
								
	
		
	
																	I also get better results with a 7 wood vs a 5 wood on the fairway because it is easier to launch. 
																	It s safe to say that this would be the optimal situation to use a hybrid wood. 
																	A 3 hybrid like the 5 wood is generally around 19 24 degrees of loft. 
																	If you dread lengthier par 3 s because you have to hit a long iron then a hybrid is a great substitute. 
															
													
								
	
		
	
																	The 5 wood is apt for long distance and high shots while the 4 hybrid can be helpful to attack the green. 
																	However around the green the comparison between 5 wood or hybrid specifically golf 5 wood vs 3 hybrid and 5 wood vs 4 hybrid comes in. 
																	Using a hybrid or wood with the same loft is a matter of personal preference. 
																	5 wood vs 4 hybrid. 
															
													
								
	
		
	
																	I use a 7 21 wood instead of a 3h or 4h because i find it a lot easier to hit and i get better distance with less effort. 
																	You can use 3 hybrids better on approach shots and hit a specific distance to the green between 5 wood vs 4 hybrid and golf 5 wood vs 3 hybrid. 
																	Also if you have a 1 iron or 2 iron in your bag a hybrid club with a loft between 14 and 17 degrees is a viable alternative.
