hi - I have a Burner driver and 3 wood. I am trying to decide if I want a Burner hybrid/resue 3 - or a Burner 5 wood. The degree of loft between a Burner 3 hybrid and a Burner 5 wood is only one degree.
Here are the specs. -
The Burner hybrid 3 is 19 degrees loft.
The Burner 5 wood is 18 degrees loft.
My r-7 3 iron is 20 degrees and I hit 200 off the grass and 210 of a Tee.
I am looking for a hybrid for TWO reasons:
First, I am looking for a club fill in for a whats between my 3 iron and 3 wood. Primarely a club for the 215 - 220 distance.
Second and almost more inmportant is a club to hit out of the light rough - I hate having to hit 7 irons out the rough with no chance of a getting within 50 yards of the green on a par 5.

Does this sound like a hybrid is what I am looking for or 5 wood??

Can't help you with the 3 iron/3 wood problem, I use my 5 wood for that range of yardage. But the 7 iron is another thing, I bought a 31 degree Jazz hybrid, gives me the feel and added distance when hitting out of the rough, I wanted something else besides my 5 iron when hitting from the rough at 150, gives me a lot more loft going into green also. Just a suggestion

i hit my four iron about 200-210 and i carry an 18* hybrid (this is a 2?) and i find it consistant to carry the 215 mark when i need it, and it bridges the gap nicely on short par 5's. i have only owned one hybrid but i really like mine. make sure you check your lie's and offsets if you go outside TM products to see how they match.

i should mention my clubs are gapped at ~13-3w, 18-2h, 24.5-4i... i carry four wedges....
