  1. Hey Mark, I noticed that some players have a type of squat that begins on
    the down swing (Like Rory). It seems to add a bit of power. My guess is
    that the upward force from the squat adds more velocity on the downswing.
    Any thoughts? Thanks?

  2. I live in the central valley of California and every course is like cement
    between February and October. I prefer to use a 20*degree hybrid in these
    dry months because hybrids do not roll out like 5 woods. During the dead of
    winter though, the 5 wood is far more helpful. Hopefully I was helpful! ?

  3. Also what course your playing, if you like both just swap out depending on
    fairways width, trees, elevation, etc. ?

  4. 5 wood off the fairways, and a 4 Hybrid at 22 degrees when I am sitting in
    the rough. They both travel about the same distance based on their
    respective lies.?

  5. I predict the Ping Rapture 3W will go in Mark’s bag, with its extra length
    causing a big gap between 4 iron and 3W which will require a 5W to
    split…….which will be the Ping i25 5W, so he still has some racing
    stripes in the bag! ?

  6. Whoop my question got answered! Thanks Mark, I’m going to the range and
    test my yardage now, I was doing it based on lofts. Cheers!!!?

  7. I’ve found a 5 wood much easier to launch than a 2 hybrid. The longer
    shaft and higher loft creates more leverage, spin, and launch angle to get
    the ball in the air.?

  8. Such a tricky decision. I used to play years ago and often uses a five wood
    from the rough, but the modern hybrids do it so much better. I personally
    have dropped my 3wood as it goes less far than my 5wood (same make and
    shaft…weird) so can carry a 3,4 and 5 hybrid! My 3 hybrid doesn’t go
    much less than my 5 wood, but it’s a very versatile club so I keep both in
    my bag. Second what mark says about getting yardages checked. It’s how I
    conformed my 3 wood carried less far than my 5 wood etc.?

  9. I perfer a hybrid for that exact reason, you can use it anywhere… I feel
    that a better idea for fitting would be to get a hybrid at an angle that
    fits the gap between the long iron and 3 wood. I currently carry a 3i 210
    with decent height and a 3 wood 245. My 18* hybrid fits right in with a
    high 225 carry. ?

  10. when’s the ping rapture fairway review coming, mark? looking forward to
    that one.

    as regards this video, drop the 4 iron, put a 23 hybrid in, then a 5W and
    you have good gapping between 5iron, hybrid, and 5W. ?

  11. I would like to see a full video on you playing out of the rough with the
    different clubs. Specifically the hybrids against the woods.

    The main reason is that I already hit out of the rough EXTREMELY well. I
    even can hit woods with the ball sitting somewhat down. I am thinking of
    getting a (2?) hybrid or 5 wood as well, and I am not quite sold on the
    hybrids as it stands. ?

  12. My longest hybrid carries the ball around 190 yards and my 5 wood around
    205. The 5 wood I use is very easy to hit off the deck and is very useful
    for par 5s to get it down the fairway.?
