When it comes to setting up your golf bag some decisions are easy. But what about that awkward gap between your driver and irons?

Great insight. Maybe shot tracer would show the viewer what you are saying i.t.o. ball flight.

@carlr2837 says:

A nice comparison, thanks. I would have loved if you could have added a shot tracer so we could see the ball flight differences more clearly.

This is an area of my bag where I'm just not sure what I should carry for the ~4 clubs between a Driver and 5i. I tend to hit balls high, and around here it is always windy (12-20mph most days). I'm experimenting with various combinations of 3W/5W, 3H/4H, and 3i/4i. I should probably consider a 5H as well, but extra height is not what I need, so this video is causing me to rule out a 7W for now.

Dumped the hybrid and put a 7 wood in the bag last year. Great club (I have a lower ball flight) from the tee, fairway and rough or scruffy lies.

@SM-rx8st says:

the best golf bag setup is the one setup for the course you are playing

@bknoxx says:

this guy seems hard to please.. change set up to hit it lower ?

Thousands of lifetime projects with Woodglut plans.

@bigdogpete43 says:

What matters to me–7 wood for sure. 64 degree. Two ball triple track putter. And…i have to play with my shoes untied and my tees and markers in my right hip pocket.

@aliensarereal7832 says:

I just use my 3 iron. It does everything. Only club left in my bag. And I wear out balls and never lose them. That's what happens when you only use 1 club.

@ht6501 says:

Ping 7 wood all day for me. ????????⛳

@leogoku13 says:

Flight paths or shot tracker would've been nice

@Exasperatedgolf says:

Two words… shot tracer.

@CybekCusal says:

I just bought a Titleist 5 wood earlier today

@jonq8714 says:

For me, I find that 10 clubs is my sweet spot. Driver, 21deg Utility wood (basically a 7w), 5H, traditionally lofted 6i, 8i, PW, GW, then 54deg and 58deg wedges. Less swing planes to learn, and my scoring clubs have the tightest gapping for obvious reasons. It serves me best.

@josephdubiel7129 says:

Maybe Im crazy but I carry a ton of G 425 hybrids and a G 425
5 Wood. I love hybrids as they can hit from a greater variety of lies. Great video!!!!!

@andrewsauter8749 says:

Thanks for taking the time to put this review together. Was waiting for someone to review 7 wood out of rough. Really thorough review, thanks again ????.

@JGFowler121 says:

Very informative, thank for sharing ????????????

@mg9955 says:

Awful mic. Kindly improve mic. Maxing out volume ruins gadget speakers

@jackyzeng2171 says:

Great info, thanks heaps!

@thomascalnan508 says:

Is Hannah single I’d love a shot with her !

@JDSFLA says:

Maybe the best comprehensive review of this area of the bag I have seen. Thanks.

@davidparsons5727 says:

This was just wonderful. Described the subject well and then went in depth. This was too good.

I don’t know what it is, but homegirl can damn sure get it. Ha.
