Fairway or hybrid Advice needed

[welshjim22]

I am buying the Callaway diablo driver in the US in three weeks. They currently have a promotion where you get a fairway or hybrid for a dollar.

Which do you guys suggest? I currently have 13 clubs in the bag and a gap between diablo 3w 15* and 24*4h. I was thinking a 5w 18* or a hybrid either 2h18* or 3h21*. I currently hit my 24*4h about 165-175 depending on strike and my 3w 180-210 off the deck 200-240 off the tee.

The shop i will be buying from as all the indoor launch monitors and i was thinking i should take my 3w and 4h workout what the monitor says is the average for both and find which of the three new clubs average is in the middle.

Sounds sensible to me but is it that easy? For par 3's, the most likely hole for the use of this new club, wouldn't the hybrid be better as they tend to fly higher and stop quicker.

Good timing Jim, I'm in the middle of filling a small gap myself. Your gap looks (on paper) a bit more complex than mine. I'd plump for the 18 Diablo hybrid. As you seem (like me) to be quite inconsistent with the 3w off the fairway (distance-wise) I'd go for the 18, as it sort of doubles up as a club "in-between" a 5 wood and a #3 rescue. If you get the 21 rescue, it'll just go 10 or so yards further than your existing one.....

Personally, I don't trust launch monitors.....I get much better results on these than in real life.

Id go for the fairway personally but if you tend to hit hybrids better then thats the way to go

18* hybrid IMO they look quality but try them out if you can.
