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?
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! ?
I gotta buy an app to get an answer from you??
Also what course your playing, if you like both just swap out depending on
fairways width, trees, elevation, etc. ?
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.?
2:00 Cardigan police?
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! ?
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!!!?
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.?
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.?
Ditch the hybrid?
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. ?
I prefer the 5 wood to a hybrid, can’t seem to hit hybrids as well as I
used to ?
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. ?
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. ?
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.?
