Why use fairway woods?

Question

If hybrids/fairway utilities go just as far as fairway woods, and are easier to hit than fairway woods, why use fairway woods?

I am thinking about buying a 1hybrid or 2hybrid. My 3 hybrid goes about 210-220 and I love it.

Answer 1

You're in the same boat as I am.  I hit my 3 hybrid the same distance and I can control it better than a 3-wood.  I stopped carrying a 3-wood, and have considered getting a 1 or 2 hybrid myself.

Answer 2

I like my fairway woods because I'm more of a traditionalist, and I'm only 29.  I'd say give the hybrids a shot, see if you like them.  A lot of fellas I play with really like them.   But from what I've seen the 1 and 2 hybrids don't perform any better than a 4 or 5 wood.  The 3, 4, and 5 hybrids seem much more consistent than irons, especially out of the rough.

Answer 3

On long par 5 I can hit my 3 wood longer than any hybrid. I use both hybrids and fairway woods. If I need to work the ball right or left its easy with a fairway wood. Long straight shots that need to land soft I use hybrids. Yesterday I hit a 5 wood off the tee on a 200 yd par 3 with strong wind in my face and it landed soft on the green. Both have there uses.

Answer 4

You nailed and are on the right track. There used to only be fairway woods and there wasn't a choice of hybrids.

Get the hybrids and ditch the fairway woods or save them for a display case so you can show your grandson "this is what they used to use".

Answer 5

I've always felt more comfortable with fairway woods, as compared to irons, and it's the same with hybrids.  Psychologically I guess, they just seem more like irons and I seem to hit fairway woods much better.

In fact, I just got 3-5-7 Cobra Speed LD woods a few months ago and after playing golf for 30 years I knocked one in from 180 yards with the 7-wood: closest I'll ever get to a hole-in-one probably!

Answer 6

Check out the Adams A3 hybrid fairway 3 wood (they also have a 5).  They are the best of both worlds.  The biggest difference is in the rough.  The A3 goes through better than either a regular hybrid or wood.
