Hybrid vs 5-Wood – Which Club Belongs in Your Bag?

One of the most common questions we hear from golfers is whether you should play with a low-lofted hybrid or a 5-wood. Both clubs serve a similar purpose,

but they each have different strengths and are suited to different types of players and situations. In our latest video from Elisefarm, we dive into this question and compare

how the clubs perform, when you should choose one over the other, and whether it is really necessary to carry both in your bag.

A hybrid is designed to be easy to hit and versatile. It works well from many different lies on the course and can be especially useful in tougher positions where control and precision matter more than pure distance.

A 5-wood, on the other hand, often delivers a higher ball flight and more distance, making it an excellent choice off the tee or when you need to land the ball softly on the green from longer range.

The question of which club is best therefore depends on the type of player you are and how you want your bag to be set up. Many golfers can benefit greatly from having both,

but it’s important to ensure that they complement each other and don’t overlap in function. This is where a custom fitting comes in – by testing different options, you can make sure you get the most out of your set.

In the video, we discuss exactly this and show the practical differences between a hybrid and a 5-wood.

We talk about when one club does the job better than the other and how you, as a golfer, can think about making a smarter choice.
