I'm planning on changing my fairway woods (3 and 5 wood) and have a been wondering if I should make an adjustment to what I have in my bag. Should I swap my 5 wood for a rescue instead?

I can only carry one or the other as I have 14 clubs in my bag already and the plan would be to get a 2 iron equivalent. There is about a 2 club gap between my 3 iron and 5 wood so the idea is get a rescue with a loft that puts it in the middle of the 3 iron and 3 wood (I could get a 6 wood instead too). I hit my fairways well both off the tee and off the grass but I was thinking I may also get more versatility with a rescue.

Not sure what to do and I hate making decisions. Thoughts?

I use my 3 hybrid more &more & my 5 wood is becoming redundant.

I use 3 hybrid (20°) this cover my gap between 3 wood and iron

I use 3 hybrids ( 18, 20 and 22 deg's) . The 18 is super for longer par 3's and driving it off the fairway into the wind. The 20 gives me a left to right shape whilst the 22 hits a lovely draw. What I lose in length from discarding my 3 and 5 woods, I make up for in accuraccy. I think you can see why I am a fan of hybrids. Good luck with your next choice.

Chris, i've already done this. The Taylormade 3 Hybrid is lofted like all others 2H, i.e. 18 degrees. Its shape is more like a fairway but with offset. I love it, Johns got same and love it too. My low clubs are D, 3W, 3H then 4 iron - good spacing..when I hit them!

Definitely don't want an offset Dave. It's the main reason I am looking to swap out as my current fairways are slightly closed and I am fighting them all the time

Starting to think a rescue might be the way to go

i have a 15 degs a 18 deg both nike sq hybirds ,,, but my best 1 that can pick a ball up anywhere is my 18* dunlop cost £12 ,its not abig hitter but it does the job ,ever time from in the trees to long gress

Chris, I too have 3 wood and then 18,21 degree hybrids then 4i. Feel this gives better balance to my bag and are easier to hit. Knowing your game I would recommend a 2 hybrid rather than 5 wood
