I have lost confidence in mine. Looking for recs only from you guys that really love yours. Preference would be a hybrid, but not the small headed ones like the Adams pros. Something maybe half between that and a true 5w. Saw a Titleist today in a used bin that looked nice, but the shaft was rebar so I didn't buy. Go...

Got a Callaway xr 18 five wood I love. Also the 23 hybrid same make.

These feel like a heavier swing weight than the TaylorMade Woods I had. Just like it better.

How are your lower lofted irons? Have you tried a crossover?

I go 5i to an older Adams Pro 23* that I absolutely love.

My 5w is a TM RBZ gen 1, I’ll cry if it ever breaks.
I have a 4h Srixon that I fell in love with quickly. It looks a lot like the Titleist

Exotics have made quality hybrids and fairway woods for a long time. If I were in the market, I’d be looking very hard at their products.

TM M2 hybrids and fairway woods are bombers

I’m kind of there with you. I have a huge gap at the top of my bag when I game my Mizuno blades. It comes with a 3i that I only hit about 200. So if I carry 4 wedges (PW, 50, 54, 60), then I’m left with deciding between dropping one of them or dropping the 3i all together and working to take something off of my 3H.

Or I could always pull the 50 and 54 for a 52...

That’s what you get for abandoning your Srixons

I’ve only had two rounds with the blades. Srixons back in the back this weekend with Arccos.

Struggled all year with this. Every hybrid I bought I would hook off the planet.

Was in the shop last week taking advantage of the 4 for $100 FJ shirt sale and saw a Steelhead III 5 wood in the used bin for $19.99. Bought it. First round was yesterday. Only pulled it 4 times, but all four were great shots.

Someone had put a mid sized Winn on it which I planned to replace, but I am not messing with it now.

I used one for YEARS and still have the 3W in my shop.

I hated hybrids until I hit them bought PXG - I’ve got it set currently at 18.75 degrees and its one of my favorite clubs now - 220 in air, will roll out if dry. Buy used on eBay to save $$
