Golfers advice, 3 wood or hybrid?

both

You should definitely have a 3-wood in the bag.

If you hit your long irons well, then you don't need a hybrid. Find a 5-wood instead.

If you don't hit your long irons well, then replace what you don't hit well with hybrids.

Oh, and if you're still hitting 3-woods and hybrids into par 5s on your 2nd shot, move up to the ladies tees.

Both, or replace the 3 hybrid with a 5 wood. Your choice. I carry a 3H (215-220yds) and a 3W (230-235 off the deck, 250 off tee). If your miss is a fade/slice, or you hit it low, I recommend the 3H. The guys I know that prefer a 5W over a 3H tend to hook as their miss, and their ball flight is pretty high already.

If you're not carrying a 3i you should get both as others have said. A 3W will have more distance but more roll. A hybrid will go higher and land softer. The hybrid may be easier to hit if you are new to golf

Both. I use my 3W off the tee almost as much as my driver. My hybrid is a fantastic club. I'm considering taking my 3i out of my bag and carrying an extra wedge instead.

A 3i and a 5 wood are generally speaking the same loft.

A 3 wood is less lifted than a 3i or 5w, meaning it goes farther. I personally like a 3w and 5w.

This is the OT. 2nd shot on a par 5 should be a putt for double eagle.

FIFY

If you gotta ask????

An average hacker (like myself) should never be "green light" on a second shot par 5. You just need to advance the ball. So whatever gets you to that comfortable yardage is the club. I would slap a 2iron down the fairway with a punch shot all the time. I felt comfortable with the club and yardage wise I am only trying to get it to a short iron in my hand.
