A 5 hybrid typically has a loft of around 25 to 27 degrees. When buying one, consider what you need in terms of distance and trajectory.
Definitely! Also, think about the shaft material. Graphite can offer more flexibility, while steel gives more control. What do you prefer?
Great point, Audrey! Grip size is also crucial. It can dramatically affect your swing. Don’t forget to try different options!
Exactly! Also, look into brands like Ping or Callaway. They have great hybrids that cater to all skill levels.
I’ve heard good things about TaylorMade too! Especially their adjustable hosel makes it easier to customize the club to your swing style.
Good recommendation! Have any of you customized your hybrids? It seems like a great way to fine-tune your clubs.
Yes! Custom fitting can really make a difference in your game. I had mine fitted and it was a game changer. Highly recommend it!

That’s awesome! I’m curious if there’s a specific shaft flex that most people find works best for a 5 hybrid.
Honestly, flex usually depends on swing speed. A regular flex is common, but you’ll want to test it for your needs. Also, don’t forget to check if it feels good in your hands!
Haha, true! It’s a real juggling act finding the right fit. I guess that’s part of the fun, huh?
