Absolutely fascinating, chaps. Insights like these are invaluable, even to mid-handicap hackers like myself.
thanks Nicholas!!! that's what we love to hear
Great video content! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you ever tried - Yanaylee Yanrooklyn Magic (search on google)? It is a good one of a kind guide for unlocking an effective golf swing technique without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my coo-worker at last got great results with it.
Ian there is simply no one on RUclips who explains the technical and applicable aspects of equipment in a more simple and understandable way that you! My game is so much better because of the knowledge you pass along to us. Thank you!!
Agreed!
The knowledge handed down here is absolutely invaluable. Everyone who watches this is fortunate.
I thought I knew some things, before I found Ian and Matt. But, in a short time here, I've learned more than I ever thought I knew. I'm beginning to understand variables I wouldn't have otherwise imagined. What a phenomenal resource this channel has been, and continues to be. Thank you so much, TXG. For this priceless education. Can't wait to see what 2020 brings!
Credit to Matt's skills to be able to help illustrate these differences so clearly.
What I have learned from watching all your great videos is that any club you put in Matt’s hands looks like it can make you a tour pro. Great swing Matt.
Great video. MATTs technique is brilliant in order to showcase the differences in those clubs. He is actually motivating me to swing with more finesse. Cheers and compliments of the season.
Thank you TXG, this will be the reference video I show the Mrs on why I need another club in the bag 🤣😂🤣
You guys are killing it... so much honesty & lack of ego makes it so much easier to listen to you both AND you know your stuff... great match
Love how you have added the element of swing characteristics into the discussion
Incredible analysis of the technical aspects of different clubs! All the club reviews on the web only talk about key features of each brand/model and trying to sell something. You guys brought club design and technology to a totally new level. Great job. Nothing else comes close. Thanks for being so open and sharing all these knowledge.
Love these last couple videos. Fee” like I’ve learned a ton more the last two videos. Was getting a bit burned out on just product testing videos. Great change of pace!
I love the videos that demonstrate concepts with real ball flight data.
Your consistency is what makes this video so valuable. An excellent showman on what these different clubs will accomplish.
Best channel on you tube for understanding the technology and specs of what you should be playing based on your swing characteristics. Thanks for all you do to make us tech nerds happy.
By the looks of things,just shows you how big a deal that a proper club fitting,either individual or complete set really is. Great info,thanks guys.
It’s great to see how these clubs perform, and each club’s advantage. Seeing Mike’s swing keeps me coming back to these videos. Inspirational.
Again awesome content! Understanding the ball flight and course conditions is so important. Also, understanding the forgiveness level of each club at the same loft is a game changer. Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant Vlog gentlemen! This is so so useful for every standard of golfer! It’s also good for not only long par 3’s but what you’d take off the tee for par 4’s for particular players. Especially on links golfs.
These vlogs just keep getting better and better.
Happy New Year, gents 👍🏻
Happy New Year guys. Thanks for all you do. Love this video. Decision making demonstration here can help us with our scores. Picking the right club beyond distance alone.
Absolutely love this channel! Learning how much the DNA of the head makes so much difference. I used to think it was all about the shaft. Would like to see a video on a high speed, low spin player get fitted.
As always loving the technical reasons to support why launch spin etc are slightly different and why they may benefit different golfers for different reasons. Best golf info on RUclips!
Love these videos. I learn a lot! I'm trying to figure out what to put into the bag between my driver and 5 iron given the gapping I need and the different courses I usually play. This was very helpful.
You chaps combine fantastic technical insight to how that directly correlates to outcomes. Quite a complicated process but done simply to help the everyday layman such as myself. Cheers lads. Keep it up.
Love this, will keep this video in mind when I get fit for that part of the bag
Excellent insight from both Ian and Matt. Helps me when I’m buying and playing 👍🏻🏴 🇨🇦
I always thought one would run out of topics to discuss when talking about shafts and club heads. However you guys keep coming up with fantastic topics to delve in to... excellent content gents. Great to watch. Well done!
Every video you produce has invaluable information. Thank you and all the best for 2020.
April 2023, still absolutely loving your fitting videos - unreal, love it.
Next level content, thanks guys. Happy new year, looking forward to all the videos to come in 2020.
Might be the most important and useful video you've done. Awesome demo of overlapping theories and technologies.
This is why your channel is the best on RUclips....
@55 and slowing down every year, rethinking my bag set-up!? Thanks for the great vid. guys!
You guys are fantastic. Thanks for another video graphically showing me what the heck people are talking about with CG.
It’s nice to have an Iron Byron for testing!

Great video guys, i play Callaway GBB woods & hybrid and i was not happy with the shaft in my fw woods. Even at 64 yrs old, a 50 gram Kuro Kage was to lite, so i put my 20 deg 7w head on the 80 gram kuro kage hy shaft that was in my 4 hybrid. Love it,better control and feel.Thinking about getting two more hybrid shafts for my 3 & 5 wood heads! Never really liked the 4 hybid anyway,but glad i can use the shaft!
Awesome video! I just added the MP20 HMB 2i to the bag. It’s an absolute rocket when flushed, but you definitely know it when you don’t. I change it out with my 5wd depending on course. Love to see your in-depth analysis. Thanks gents!
Fantastic video, currently looking for something to fill in the gaps better than what I have now between driver and irons, and this video helped a lot (Mid handicap). Keep up the brilliant work!
Excellent video guys, I'm having this exact problem of what to choose to gap between my 3 wood and 4 iron.
I’m brand new to golf and I feel like these videos really help me understand how to use the proper club in certain situations.
I'm 20yrs into golf and thinking the same thing
As a new player these RUclips videos are amazing! I think I would have struggled to learn without it!
Loads of information guys. This is awesome and answered so many questions. Thank you so much.
Great video and great timing. I have been contemplating moving to a 5 wood from a 3 hybrid cause I find the hybrid hasn’t been holding greens enough when I have long approach shots. I think I’m going to give it a try. Thanks guys!
I’d love to see more of this type of videos lads. It’d be great to see the different setups with some of the different swing characteristics of your clients. The top end of the bag can be a hard one to figure out. To make sure you have enough options in the long end and make sure that it doesn’t influence the wedge setup. I have a steep angle of attack and decided to experiment with a different set up and dropped the 3 wood (keeping 4 wedges). I’ve just changed to a 16 and 20 deg hybrid Exotics CBX. Looking for one consistent swing with both... not missing the 3 wood from the deck but being honest miss it a little from the tee as a driver back up. I feel I’m still searching for the ultimate setup but will stick with this one for the summer.
Just rewatched this video. Absolutely great information and great video. Mr Frazier you are a golf club Encyclopedia!
well performed and sophisticated help to draw a decision between those clubs! Nicely done guys👍🏻
Great insight. Have been battle testing all 3 the past two years. For me, the more the CG goes back the less control I seem to have. 5 Wood always seemed to be hit or miss for me. Driving iron worked great but always came up a bit short. Hybrid seemed to fit in the bag best, evening out the shortcomings. Listening to the info you have put forth it makes a lot of sense why now.
Awesome guys! Rethinking about adding a hybrid back into the bag this year.
Great video, I am just about to put a 5 wood into my bag for the first time in many years at the expense of a hybrid and it is primarily because I think that it will be better suited to the course that I am playing now, especially when it starts to firm up in the summertime.
Awesome breakdown! Love the channel.
I love this video. Learned so much.
Awesome vlog as usual. I recently made the change from a driving iron to a hybrid. Needed more height. Driving iron was only a tee club where the hybrid is both a tee and fairway club.
This shows why we all as golfers need to be fitted and then get to know your own game by using skytrak / book some some with trackman / gc quad.
As per Ian / Mat you need to know it for different courses, conditions, confidence, mindset, thinking, etc
Great vlog again guys 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Excellent video as always. Sitting here in Manitoba all we have are videos to tie us over till spring.
Watching this I think I'll keep both 3hybrid and 5wood, depending on my swing and course/weather conditions. Great information...
Starting to see some major changes in Matt‘s swing, awesome to see such big changes and a gain in speed at the same time.
I can hit a wood, hybrid, and driving iron! My 5 wood goes 250 with a fairly smooth swing, the 3 iron goes about 240 which isn’t much different, but since the flight is lower I use it differently, and I don’t currently have a hybrid but I love how high they go, my problem is I can’t but the driver.... slowly getting there but it has been the bane of my existence the last 3 years
Great video! A master class in long clubs and the robot testing doesn’t hurt!!!
Just bought a 3 hybrid because I was not getting what I wanted out of my 5 wood. This video helped me confirm my decision!
What a great informative video!.I am looking for a club that will help me reach par 5s in two and also get me out of trouble when i miss hit drive on a long par 4.
Super helpful.
Outstanding and very educational comparison. Thank you gents!
I stopped trying to hit a hybrid or fairway wood and started using a u510 1 iron or laying up if it's not a green I can roll up on.
Never played more comfy golf in my life. I'll just stay this setup forever. Driver, 1 iron, 4 iron, 6-SW Putter. Makes for a light bag =)
Great illustration of the differences. One is not better than the other. It’s what you need personally that matters. Looks like I need a driving iron for non driver tee shots. Thanks guys
Great video guys. This video will go to a saved TXG folder :-) I own a Hybrid and its phenomenal to see what this little head can kick the ball far away, that is when I hit it right :-)
Great video backed up data. Best channel on the tube
Elegant demonstration of difference between 5 wood, hybrid and driving iron and impact on launch, height and spin. Matt makes it look effortless. So one of each?
I like a good hybrid and a 5 Wood too. When I need to hit a long shot I usually go for a 5 wood. Not crazy about driving irons. This is a great review though guys. Thank you Matt and Ian !
Fantastic video lads, have a fantastic 2020 can't wait to see the content cheers Peter
Subbed! Love your channel, keep it going guys!
Great info guys. Thank you. I do like seeing pros play 250+ yard par threes and 320 yard par fours.
Good video guys. Shows that each type of head produces a different arch to the flight. One interesting result is that regardless of the shaft length differences(5wd 19* -42", 3 hybrid 19*-40.25" and 19* drv iron-39.25") they all get the same carry distance. I guess that shows that it's the loft that determines the distance when compared to other heads of the same loft and not always the shaft length.
What happens is the launch conditions cancel out the discrepancy in swing speed. So the fastest moving club is obviously going to be 5w but it also has highest launch and spin. The long iron is slower but the launch conditions produce a flatter more penetrating flight which somewhat cancels out the difference in speed. Hope that makes sense now Walter.
@@ianfrasergolf Thanks for the further explanation Ian, keep up the great videos.
You guys are absolutely the best in the business. Your amount of knowledge and way you explain it so it’s easy to understand is amazing. I think you pretty much ruined any fitting experience I can get around here as I would feel ripped off. I might have to plan a trip to Toronto come spring!
Thxs guys I am In the market for one these to finish off my new set & this was gr8 way to confirm my thoughts ... I am a low teen hacking handicapper & hit the ball high naturally so going with a 3 hybrid is a perfect choice after see this video.
Very interesting. I love these technical data videos. Bring the pin back to around 200 yards and I get similar (but more widely dispersed) results. I I can hit my 5 wood and 4 hybrid the same distance if i really go after the hybrid but the 5 wood flies all the way and the 4 hybrid would need to chase up to the green. I carry both as I generally use the hybrid to fill the gap 10-15 yards shorter.
Another great video guys 👍
Great comparison, much appreciated.
I play a callaway x forged 2018 2 iorn at 19 degrees and a ping g410 2 hybrid set at 15.5 to replace a 3 and 5 wood. And I love it. Easier to control due to the shorter shaft length. And I get the benefits of having a 2 iorn as well!
Very relevant video for me! Thank you.
First of all best wishes for 2020...and at the beginning of 2020 another great video...but what else is new🤓😇
I have a hybrid Ping g410 2 (set to 16 degrees and flat) but also a MP20 HMB 2 iron. Depending conditions (course and weather) I change them because the 2 iron launches (as Ian mentioned) lower and the hybrid launches higher. Hybrid is (for me) easier to hit from the deck when it is very wet /“soppy” ground conditions.
Great video! Currently got epic 5w, 818h2 3 hybrid and 716tmb 3iron in uk. The TMB I love though for windy, dry conditions (2 months or links in uk) for hitting low however mainly redundant in current uk weather. Tempted to only carry one of the other two and add another wedge in bag though large difference in gapping at top of bag for me being moderate swing speed. Maybe 2020 would allow 15 clubs in bag!
I have the epic flash 5 wood in my bag and I would say I use it more often than my epic flash 3 wood, I feel so confident using it compared to pretty much any club in my bag.
I ended up with a 15° Epic Flash Subzero 3W and 18° Srixon ZU85 in my bag and they give me so many options for shots now compared to my old 3W/5W/4i setup. Brought my handicap down to single figures and shot a PB of +2 in October as have more confidence in every club in the bag
I have 7i - SW irons, 3 Wood 15*and 3 19*, 5 25* and 7 31* Hybrids, I launch high. Glad my thoughts were proven here.
Still one of my favorite videos
Driver comment - spot on. Tested my Rad Speed driver with weight back - every ball ballooned, couldn’t control launch! Now to work out what club to replace my 3 wood, to fit between 4iron and 1iron. Thanks for the insight boys.
Can't tell you how excited I was when he said Mizuno is offering a low lofted hybrid! I'm building a lightweight Sunday bag, and having a driving hybrid would consolidate 2 big and inconsistent clubs for me!
13, 19, 5, 7, 9, P, 56, putter...done. ;)
I use 3 wood, 3 and 4 hybrids. I have never used a driving iron. I preferred irons to hybrids for a long time because I always hooked hybrids. Once I bought a Titleist hybrid that I could flatten it was a game changer and I bought another! My 3/ hybrids are probably the most consistent clubs in my bag.
Ian, would love to see you do some of these tests. We always see Matt do them but it would be nice to see you.
Thanks for sharing. In my opinion, the choice has to be made considering all kinds of strikes on a real golf course : tee shots, rough, fairway, bad lie etc... not only practice station shots.
Not sure the results would have been so closed.
That is some impressive ball striking
My 5w and hybrid in my starter set from Costco were hook machines for me. I have a 3i u85 that hit really well off a tee. Makes me want to revisit a 5w maybe it was more my swing at the time
Very cool illustration
So tempted to fly to Toronto just to get fitted by TXG. Top notch experts.
He hits it so perfect. Insane.
Very helpful video and explanations. I am confused, however, why we saw the driving iron rolling into the back bunker but the summary of the results show it stopping quicker than the other two (10 yard rollout vs. 12 vs. 14) and finishing 3 yards shorter on average than the 5 wood despite lower launch, spin and descent angle.
I actually carry both a 20* Callaway Epic Flash FW wood (adjustable from 19* to 23*) AND a 21* Tour Edge Exotics CB Pro hybrid. The “7-wood” is a bit shorter than standard at 41.5” and the hybrid is 40.25” long. I use these two clubs for completely different types of shots - 7-wood for when I want to get the ball to land softly; 4-hybrid for tee shots on short, tight par-4 holes and very long par-3 holes where I know that there isn’t trouble off the back of the green in case the ball releases a bit more than expected, or on holes where the green is sloped back-to-front. My carry distances with these two clubs are separated by about 18-20 yards, but when hitting into firm greens or on firm fairways, the total distance usually only varies by about 10-12 yards between the two clubs, with the hybrid running out more.
Love the video gents, happy new year to you both and the team behind your productions . It seems I have too many 18 degree options 😂. But on a serious note. Could you possibly test the difference each increment of 1 degrees make to a hybrid? I currently have a 19 - 818 but not really sure how much the change in loft really impacts my distances . However the lie adjustment really to make a difference! Onwards and upwards 100k here you come.
Best

Great video! Would love to see Driver comparisons: Same loft, shaft and length but varying design characteristics. Same for woods and hybrids.
Once again, awesome video.
Excellent insight!
