5 Hybrid - Young Old Man Bag

GolferTodd · July 27

Replacing my 4 iron Mizuno MP37 4 iron (24 deg) with a Callaway Elyte "5" Hybrid 24 deg that I ordered at +3/4 inch to fit the idea that I consider it to be a 4 hybrid because the loft. Its gapping a 19 degree high launching 5 wood and my 5 iron, which I can hit 210 (I live in Denver) and the 5 wood 250. This hybrid should be the perfect gap and its so configurable that if it goes too far I can always loft it up to trim.

Do you use a 7 wood as well? I considered adding a 9 wood but hit hybrids better than woods.

What made you go 9w over 4h?

I came back to the game after an almost 10 year hiatus this summer. Dropped the 4 iron for a 9W and my 5 iron for a 5 hybrid. Beast decision I have made. They are so much more consistent and easier to hit than a long iron.

I love your line-up @Obee No prejudice at all and pretty straight to the point.

Great question. If I still had my original Adams 4h that was 2° FLAT from the factory, I would still be using it.

But I long ago lost that.

I just haven't found a hybrid I like as much as the nine wood, which I have now had for about a year.

Going to test an old GAPR Hi 5h/25* with a low launching hybrid shaft for a cheap(er) experiment. I see they made a 6h/28* too...

Has anyone played around with the length of the shaft, trimming closer to iron lengths? For me it would be a 1.25" increase from 6i to 5h. Just curious how that would affect the distance gap?

Have only hit a few balls with this setup and it is pretty awesome, very fun to hit. It seems to be a great 200 yd club for me (104+/- driver chs). High flat flight that seems to hold the greens. Much better flight than the Ping 4-Crossover with Tour 85. 6h is next. Don't sleep on the GAPR Hi, lead tape and sim2 weight screw to cover all the teal.
