hybrid or fairway wood?

has anyone tried swapping fairway woods for hybrids? would it work as well?

I asked the same question on the forum a few weeks ago Liam, but asking whether I should swap my 5 wood for a 2 iron hybrid. My view is that the same loft in a hybrid and fairway should go about the same distance

For the record, I will be swapping my 5 wood for a 19* (roughly) hybrid

I carry three hybrids. 18deg, 20 deg and 22deg. I love them and will not put fairway woods in my bag again. I'm just as long, more accurate and confident with them.

Carry 19 and 22 degree hybrids and love them, ultimately just so much more forgiving than the fairway woods which i always struggled with.

I think theoretically fairway woods will give you a little more roll and therefore a little more distance but if you can't get them away in the first instance that won't help you much!

I swipe my 5wood to 20* hybrid working very well for me

always a wood for me always hade a wood from the day i started playing i tryed a friends hibrid club and felt that it was too light and that i wont hit it as far as my wood i prefer to use my 3iron atm as i keep hitting my wood way right

I use a 3 and 5 fairway wood but my 4 and 5 irons are hybrids.

I absolutely love the hybrids. Very easy to hit and great for getting out of the longish light rough.

Used to struggle with the woods but they are starting to really work for me and I am getting great distance with them.

I would just go with whatever you feel comfortable with but make sure you know your distances if you swap, last thing you want is a distance gap because you have exchanged clubs.

I'm of the opinion that a hybrid is a wood and I can get more control from an iron. I'm not against them as I do consider my 5 wood (17*) as a type of hybrid which does get the height and can be hit in from 210 yds .
