Because some people feel more comfortable standing over an iron than a fairway wood.
I've got a 19 degree Ping crossover in the bag and a 5 wood at 20 degree. I use the crossover off the tee on tight fairways and in the wind. It goes for miles, especially in the summer, it runs and runs. Very forgiving aswell. Great club, doesn't balloon up in the wind. Wouldn't be without it now👍
The people who I see use these have high swing speeds and do a stinger shot, or playing on link style courses to take advantage of the run. I don’t fit in those categories.
Golf clubs are manufactured to be sold, so the answer is the driving iron is made because people buy them. Now, many golfers who buy them shouldn't, but that's a different question. I think many golfers like to think of themselves as the kind of player who hits a 2 iron. It's the other side of why people don't buy the hybrid sets (Wilson Launch Pad, Cleveland Launcher XL Halo, or Tour Edge Holt Launch E522) that are so easy to hit – they want to believe they don't need it, even if they struggle to break 100.
I will take the fairway or hybird any day of the week, easier to hit and better loft unless your in windy conditions, but would not use it.
Is that two sheep in the background to the left at the end of the video? Love it!
I just can't hit a fairway very well
Well done your Lad
Possibly could be the thought that just as some people use a driver with a slightly shorter shaft maybe one or 2 inches shorter than normal as released by manufacture simply to gain better control some golfers may just feel a little more confidence with that degree of loft but with the short shaft. It also depends on the course that you are playing on because many courses after you hit your drive the length of the hole may not weren’t using a Fivewood but maybe a two iron or 18 or 19° lofted iron would suit the purpose better. So then I would also depend where you play. I have some clubs that I put in and take out of my own bag depending on which course I’m going to be playing because I am vision roughly which club I’m going to be needing for a second or third shot. So that depends on which irons I pull out and which hybrids or ones I put in. I think it’s just a matter of preference especially if you’ve got an narrower course whete a wood may not be safest choice
I hit my driving iron better than I hit driver. Wilson staff 18 degree.
