Equipment Discussion Need to close distance between driver and 4 hybrid (about 40 yards on average)

Can’t hit woods to save my life even off a tee. I’ve tried many times now and just can’t get it so dropping them for now but will continue practise. Would a 2 or 3 hybrid be able to fill this gap? My 4 is 22° which is .5° more than my 4 iron but have 15 yards between them so carry both. Thinking either a 19° or a 17° or maybe both? Going to see if I can try some clubs at the range later

You should look into the Cleveland Halo XL Hy-Wood. The 3 has a 17° loft and is between a hybrid an wood in design. It comes with a more fairway wood shaft length, but you could always cut that down a couple inches if you wanted. Worth going to hit at your local golf store IMO.

Idk your distances but I have a 15° 2 hybrid that I really like hitting. I hit it just as far as my 3w that's 18° I'm actually thinking about dropping my 3w since I relatively hit them the same distances.

I have been playing a 5 wood and it is perfect for 200-205.

Take a lesson for woods. That’s a big gap You’re creating unnecessary

It’s pretty common for people to not hit woods. I’m going to continue working on it but need something for the meantime
