This club could be the DEATH of the fairway wood, for good, and could change golf forever. Say goodbye to your fairway woods… yes golf seriously could be changed forever. We have seen this club before, but not in this format, with this technology, and have the capability of gaining the distance, launch angle and shots you need in golf. Fairway-woods and in particular a 5 wood is a tough club for lots of golfers no matter their age or ability for so many reasons. Could Cleveland have come up with an unbelievable solution that could mean you say goodbye to your fairway woods?

Could this be the best club you need to have in your bag, cleveland are typically known for their wedges, but could this CLEVELAND 2024 HALO XL HY WOOD with a larger head than most other hybrids and a longer shaft for extra distance be one of the best YET? Will this CLEVELAND 2024 HALO XL HY WOOD be one of the best clubs except fro drivers to be released in 2024? Find out in this honest and unbiased golf review.

PLEASE LIKE the Video guys it helps the Channel out a lot. Also COMMENT below with your Answer to the Question posed at the start of the video. Also any questions you have, I will try and answer as many people as possible 👍
I’m guessing around 8%.
I’d guess as little as 15% or less at that yardage. I use a Ping 4 hybrid and do find it easier to use than a fairway wood.
11%! I’m not speaking from experience though 😉
Jason:
I was not aware of the Hywood until your review.
It would be great if you were to do a few review of these clubs…
11% (nod to Nigel Tufnel). I bought a Hywood 3+ w/Tensei blue 55R (rather than the stock Aldila). Stupid-good. As in I went to a fitting with that club and G430 4H looking to fill out the top of the bag. Nothing could beat the Hywood 3+ – I hit it straighter and longer (!) than other 3W and 5W. Similar story with the G430 4H. Just goes to show you really need to get fit. At a previous driver fit I swore I'd end up in a G430 10K but Smoke AI beat that (and Cleveland). Go figure…
Fun video. Still can't escape the feeling that this Hywood will do exactly the same thing as a 7 wood.
8%
As a 66 year old who is a14.5 index I would be about 20/100 with my Cleveland 3 hybrid I like the ease of strike
12% for the 15 handicapper
It's an interesting area to explore. I've got a 7 wood, a 21* UW, and a 4 iron. I haven't tried a hybrid for years, as they used to go left on me. It's an awkward spot in the bag that sometimes calls for different answers depending on the course and conditions.
Thinking about the 3+ Hy-wood. The 4+ would be too close to my 7 wood I fear.
Hi Jay, I believe Wilson were first to come out with this concept about 17 years ago. They called it the FyBrid….. it had a 19.5º head and was supposed to be an optimised hybrid/fairway wood. Even Padraig Harrington sung it's praises when he won his Open Championships back in 2007/8.
However, my question regarding all of this is: what about the recent trend for 7 and 9 woods? Don't really understand why you would go down so low…. Personally use high launching hybrids and they seem to work just fine …….. ho hum!!
How would you compare the Hywood against the Callaway Apex Utility Wood?
Hi Jay 12% great review I like the Hywood .
I'm probably a bit worse than a 15 but I can tell you now I could hit a million shots from 220 and never hit the green once 😂 my driver only goes that far on a good day and my 7 wood is nowhere near that distance
8%
It appears I built my 5 wood as a hi wood a few years ago it’s 1.25 inches shorter than standard my 3 woods an inch shorter than standard as is my driver 😮 holy cow woods are to long!! For us mere mortal handicap golfers shorter is for sure better just make sure you can add some headweight.
Technique wise, do you hit the Hywood like a hybrid (slight compression) or a fairway wood (neutral balance and strike)?
8% for 15hcp do like the looks of the Hy-Wood shame about the loft sleeve, think if I could find one at decent price would be worth trying
Just switched to a 4 hybrid from my 4iron. Definitely lands more soft, goes much higher and a little further. Very happy.
I switched to Mizuno 245s so my 5iron bridges the gap well and also has a decent decent angle.
I’ve taken my very old 3w & 5w out of the bag and replaced with a 4W. Again very happy with this choice (suggested by Jay in chat).
I’ve been cut 2 shots already in 2024 so I’m heading in the right direction.
Jay thanks for the great content again.
2%, there are a lot of 15 HCP golfers who cannot hit the ball that far with a driver!
As a fairly average swing speed player (80 mph with a 7i) I find the idea of the Hy Wood to be interesting. I know from experience that a 3h in my hands produces too flat a ball flight so I go 5i, 4h (set at 23 degrees), 7w, 5w, driver. i could see the hy wood replacing the 7w
5%
I smell a 1/10 😉
Regarding the 15HCP hit % from 221yds, I will go as low as 5% (!) Maybe that's a bit too low expectations, but just a shot from the hip… ☺
The HyWood really looks like the Goldilocks of tools to put in the bag🙂. Could fit well into the spot just above the longest iron. I'm currently looking for something between my 5i and 5W, and this deserve a closer look. It's just (almost) a deal breaker that it's not adjustable 🤥. Still something to think about🤔. Maybe other brands have similar tools with adjustability…?
My go to club is my 3 wood, hit it better than any other in my bag. We all have a club we prefer, when i was able to play and 30 years younger it was my 2 iron, but now fly my 3 wood 210 yards, when there is run out, who knows given the rain in the UK, age 67, take that all day. So manufacturers playing with our ego, doesn’t work with me, have lessons, practice and challenge yourself on the golf course. New equipment will not make you a golfer.
5% gir from 220 yards would be my guess
I think the fw is here to stay. It's the hybrid that will disappear from the hw. Good test.
Would cutting the shaft of the 5 iron get you closer to the results of Hywood?
Good stuff. I had the Cleveland Halo 3+ Hi wood when they came out a few years ago. Shorter shaft than a 3 wood but with the loft of a 5 wood -from memory it was 18 degrees.Nice club, , but I couldn't really see the difference performance-wise to my 5 wood. Yes, it had a shorter shaft than a 5 wood but not enough to really make it THAT much easier to play.
Yes, I would like to see a full review of the Cleveland 5-wood. The bigger head might be easier to hit than the hywood/hybrid.
Cleveland Hy-Wood 3+. Gamechanger.
Golfsmiths Snake Eyes Quickstrike II were hywoods.
Hybrid head on a Fairway/Hybrid shaft
Or you could learn to use the ground and core and get better with every club with something that resembles a golf swing.
I had the previous Hywood, which was 18° – I think it was a 3+. That's the same loft as my 5-wood, but with the shorter shaft the Hywood came up…well, shorter. And the Hywood wasn't any easier for me to hit or to control. Now obviously that's my own personal experience and comes with the caveat that 5-wood is a club I'm very comfortable with hitting full, shaping, and gripping down and taking a bit off. In general, a shorter shaft will lead to better control – I just didn't see any benefit with this particular club for me.
My guess is a hair under 10%. so 9%.
