 In fact no let's start this video very differently. Let's start with you telling me what is your go-to club in the bag. Comments down below. So for me the most difficult part of the bag to fill is that long end of the bag and very much the difference between where your sort of final iron in the bag is up to your driver. How do you fill that gap and often if you can find the right club to fill it it will be what is your go-to club off the tee off the fairway. The most difficult shot in the bag which is very much those long iron replacements and the options are simple. You've either got hybrid, you've got fairway woods or you've got driving irons and they all perform very very differently. Some of them might be suited to your game some of them might not and the idea of today's video originally started with a review of the Mizuno Fly High driving iron and we will do that but we're also going to throw in a few added options into that mix and that's where it gets really interesting and through in a real dilemma for me on a personal level which will reveal as the video pans out. So in today's video what I want to explore is the differences between these three clubs because when we make some adjustments to the five wood and the two hybrid all the loss will be equal and that's at 16 and a half degrees which is where the unadjustable fly high sits but what are we expecting to see now the five wood is the longest shaft the two hybrid is then the sort of the second longest shaft and the short out the three will be the hybrid so from a distance perspective I'm fully expecting the five hybrid to be the longest of them and that will fall down to the two iron to be the shortest I'm also expecting to see a significant difference in ball flight and launch angle and again for me logically in the brain I'm thinking with the bulk and mass and the cg way back in the five wood that'll be the highest launch it will have the tallest peak height and again much flatter ball flight down into this two fly high so there the difference is the question is what happens when we start to record some dry ball data and does that ring true so in other words is what you think in your mentality and what the obvious things that you would suggest might happen do they ring true when I start it in some golf balls it's time to find out I think I am very much a strong advocate of getting as much loft as you can on kind of hybrids fairway woods I like the idea of kind of like five six hybrids and again five and seven woods as well I think they're a great help to majority of average golfers but we do need to look at the long end of the long end of the bag and even so much as options off the tee instead of driver which is something I favored in the past so for me the idea of playing a shorter length driving iron is really appealing I'm going to hit a couple of balls just with this fly high to start with now give you my sort of opinion and feedback on this club because ultimately that's where this video started that was where the planning was and that's what we intend to do it sits so nice at address I love they did what they did with the ES 21 wedges and then it's two colors it's this dark sort of gray color and then a silver top line silver face and I think what that does really well is it frames the ball and acts superb alignment aid the other thing to notice at address it's not overly bulky there's a but you do see a little bit at that back end and it's interesting where you go from when it's a game improvement iron you don't want to see any bulk and mass you want to see everything stripped down you want to be looking like a classic blade but when you've got a club like this you're under two iron with only 16 and a half degrees of loft you actually want to see a little bit of bulk because it's mentally telling you there might be a bit of help there so again just the odd mentality the golfer shines through there where it's okay for one club but not for another I'll hit like I said a couple of balls but I've got to say from a looks perspective and the black shaft as well it's absolutely stunning I would have no problems having this on the bag in terms of from a looks perspective the next thing you'll you'll hear hopefully is the sound and feel don't forget hollow bodied again very much in the vein of the hmb's which was a huge fan of in recent weeks in the 225 range this again is that from that mazuno pro the sound is very much similar to that hmb um yes it's hollow bodied no it's not forged they've put the face in this is similar to what they've had or not similar it's the same as what they've got in some of their fairway woods at the moment and again so a very sort of powerful ball strike um ball speed rather out of the face and it's sort of recognizable a really decent ball there to start with what surprised me about the fly high is the kind of things that I said just two minutes ago was you're expecting a sort of very low pace in ball fighting yes it does that but probably launch is just a little bit higher than I would have expected it to and also does it a little bit easier I've got this teed up on sort of a very low tee but something that I'd be comfortable with playing off the tee well it one more with this before we move on and then explain why there's a massive dilemma in this testing that we've did with this club and there's something I wasn't expecting at all that's a super shot that is I mean I'm amazed I tried the p790 drive an iron udi just a few weeks back and again I reported with that was just how easy these clubs are now to play I mean it's a two iron with 16 and a half degrees a loft it would have generally frightened me to death but it is very very playable and I'm more than happy with what we did there but I said like earlier in the video this is about a long game replacement somewhere you go to next we've got this lost it down a little bit for the purpose of the video and that's all this isn't a comparison this is a ping g425 two hybrid 16 and a half degrees totally different because all of a sudden now you are seeing a lot of bulk and mass and I think it's again it's that confidence factor isn't it two iron frightened you to death hybrid much more familiar with it even though we've not got a great deal of lost on it we can certainly see something on the face there with the way ping have got this designed and again what's really interesting is how good the hybrid sounds in compared to the rest of the g425 range because it's been a criticism that I've got with the driver and with the fairy woods and sort of how loud they are and those seem to do quite the same with the hybrid but again really easy to play great launch on the ball I can't believe how far this thing is going again we're in the ball pretty decent here this morning I kind of almost like to see these reviews when you're not hitting the ball that well and it throws that question again back to the two fly high if you're not hitting the ball that well what happens then but again real good option as that long game replacement and certainly I would suggest we've seen there that it goes further than that of the two iron gets there in a different way then you move on to the five wood and we know what to expect we're now standing a little bit further away from the ball don't forget that long a shaft is going to make a difference in terms of clubhead speed and in theory should produce a longer carry but let's see if that's the case I don't know whether you heard the noise there can you hear the noise on that it's just so different out of the five wood compared to the hybrid this is much more in line with the driver it's almost like a gunshot going off the hybrid for some reason and as far as a no faith in everything it's the same in that g425 range the sound is so much softer in the hybrid right one more shot with this and I'll tell you why this has become such a massive dilemma on a personal level and why an intended video of a review of a Mizuno pro fly high turned into something very different for me personally there's that gunshot my god can you hear it but what you can't argue with is the ball has gone and it's probably done with what we'd have expected you've just seen on screen there hopefully um ball has flown extremely high fairly long to say the least quite surprisingly long as with the other two and that leads me on to why I'm so confused personally and the big shock I had with all the numbers that I've just collected on these three very different clubs now another interesting fact for me is the these are all lofted exactly the same but perform very very differently and I think for me I've very much been someone who's driven home this idea that for particularly the people who are not comfortable with strong losted irons they're always against the sort of strength of loft but I think what you'll see in today's video is that although these three clubs that we're going to be testing have identical lofts they all perform very very differently so loft is only a small part of the equation when it comes to a golf club's performance or how it gets from me to be the point to mention for me is the kind of positives and negatives of each of these clubs as an option if you start with the five would maybe the more difficult to use because of length of shaft so that could be a control issue but it's certainly versatile in terms of you'd be happy to play it off the tee and off of the fairway I think it's the hybrid which I think naturally would be probably the most versatile option out of these three again very comfortable off the tee and off the fairway and also that shorter length shaft or sitting in the middle of these three at least bit more control so most people be confident over that kind of shaft length add address the one negative with the any hybrid is a lot of people have that fear of the sort of that shot to the left often a hook can be quite an easy one to produce with a hybrid and then maybe the least versatile would be the two fly high for me 16 and a half degree two iron would only be an option off the tee really unlikely to feel confident playing off the fairway but going back to this idea about the reviewing of the fly high mizuno pro iron it is available in a three and a four iron option as well and for me that's probably where you'd feel a little bit more comfortable where you could perhaps bag a four or three and it would give you the versatile versatility that the five would and the hybrid offer as well although I will say I am at this point incredibly surprised at just how playable this two iron option has been so the question you must all be asking yourself is what was the dilemma it threw up for me and I'll get there very very soon we'll start off with the numbers of the five word that I collected and what I can't believe and I think that I've not watched it back yet but I've got a feeling I hit a ball 240 yards with the five where we were doing that test in there but I don't know I haven't seen that footage back yet I hit the ball really well to date and if I have it a five would 242 yards which I think it said then that's incredible but the data I recorded prior to that I didn't quite get one there but what I did do is perform really well clubbed speed 91 mile an hour ball speeds 142 which is phenomenal off that clubbed speed 225 an average carry the longest ball it was 232 launching at 13.1 peak height of 89 and a spin rate of three two so it probably did everything that I would expect it to do probably perform a little bit better in terms of yards if you'd have asked me what do I hit a five would it have been sort of around that sort of 220 mark and like I said we got that one weird knuckle ball out there which was probably a bit of an outlier on it all but on average 225 carry it in the ball the way I did today really really pleased with that and that's where it would have been now into that fly high which was the original review and again 89 clubbed speed which again don't forget short of shaft so that's where that couple of mile clubbed speed will be different but 138 ball speeds are really consistent across all those numbers 216 carry longest ball being 222 but again 222 221 219 218 that's the bit that surprised me about the fly high in that yeah we had a couple drop out at what was it lower one ball really 208 when I recorded days and one at 211 one at 213 so clearly suggest a little bit more difficult to play in you've got to get that middle but overall really surprised 11.7 again a couple of degrees lower than the five would so that peak height was only 62 and the spin was a lot lower so again a totally different club and how you'd look to use that particular to fly high so at this stage the numbers I've seen were probably what I was expecting although the fly high probably performed better than I would have expected it to in my hands so where does the dilemma come in and what happened well I've had the sort of g4 25 to hybrid as a sample from ping for well best part of a year I suppose and not really took much notice of it because too hybrid not much loft I'm an advocate of playing hybrids with loft so I haven't bothered with it maybe I shouldn't have ignored it for quite so long because we had a clubbed speed of 89.6 again length of shaft ball speed at 140.5 an average of 228 carry launching at 13.6 peak height of 83 2 and a half thousand revs but look at the consistency on the carry distances the lowest ball was 220 the other five other four are literally separated by a couple of yards either side of 230 yards I cannot stress the fact that yes I have it the ball probably as good as I have done on a camera today so we've got to bear that in mind having said that 230 yards carry with a two hybrid was a phenomenal number I'm one that I really have to now think about putting in the bag as a go-to club it performed as you've seen out there on the fairways again I like the idea of having that shorter shaft and if I've got an option of it the two hybrid or a five wood I'd rather play the two hybrid and have that shorter shaft in hand than the greater control so that's it video ended I think that maybe the club's out for everybody maybe the loft isn't for everybody but for me again I do launch the ball quite high as well then it seemed to really play into my hands it was a video that was never intended to be about my own personal dilemmas about the long end in the bag but trying to see whether a fly high was an option for an average golfer at 16.5 degrees or loft I think on that base I would say yes it's well worth a try certainly the three and four long irons in that fly eye range is certainly worth giving a go but the biggest surprise out of all of this was give yourself a go of a two hybrid and it might end up being your new go-to club in the bag right as ever thank you for watching thank you for card and part for letting us use this fantastic facility which has been brilliant we've had the heat from throughout it's been what a glory of stay out on the fairways as well so yeah we're grateful for that thank you for watching don't forget that comment early on I asked for what is your go-to club hit that like button and I will see you all very soon
